A Rebel Love Story
A/N: Okay, so wazz up? This is my very first Clockwork/ Infernal Devices fanfic. I am super excited, but also really nervous because this is going to be a little different. It will be a complete Tessa/ Will, but all the characters will sort of be out of their normal "character". Tessa is still a sweetheart, but she's a somewhat troubed and rebellious teen. Will is still.. Will, but at the same time, he's not Will. But don't worry, Will is still as sarcastic and sexy as ever. Hope you enjoy it!

Prologue
Tessa Gray:
I spent the last 4 years of my life in a juvinille detention center because they thought I was a crinimal and that I was too dangerous to be allowed out on the streets. Sure, I have a ton of piercings, but am I really that different? All I really am thinking is that once I'm out, I'm never going back in.
Chapter 1
Sitting in a stone room was all that I've done for the past 4 years of my life. Today, I will walk free right out of this place. I was admitted here when I was 13 for defacing property and possibly burning down a couple buildings. It's pretty damn obvious that I didn't burn down the buildings, but I got blamed for it, but I did deface a lot of property. My current residence at the London Juvinille Detention Facility wasn't that much different from home, except for the lack of a drunken father who beat me night after night and I couldn't do anything to prevent it.
Being in here made me strong, physically and emotionally. I've built walls of steel to hide my emotions and from all the hard labor my body is strong. There's not a single ounce of fat on me except for my tits. All my muscles were hard under my skin, but I still looked like a girl with soft curves and an amazing figure.
The officer came up to my door, unlocked it, and swung it open. "Come on. Your being released from this hell hole." Glaring at the officer, I stood up and walked out. I knew this officer better than anyone. She had yelled at me more than anyone I had ever known and her steel eyes pierced mine more times than I can count. Now, she's the one releasing me into the world.
I walked into the meeting room and saw my favorite cousin sitting in the chair across from me dressed in her normal with a couple shopping bags sitting behind her. Wow, Jesse. What a time to go shopping.
She was talking on her phone and when she saw me she hung up. "You're free to go. Get her changed and out of my sight." You're so nice to me as always.
"How's life Jessamine?" I ask her.
"Much better now that my cousin is out of juvie. I went out and bought some clothes because I knew that your old clothes wouldn't fit anymore. And don't worry about the sizes. I already know that they're right." She handed me a red bag with white and black stripes. A set of colors that I was familar with. They were from my favorite clothing store. Yeah. I'm a delenquent, but I am still a girl.
Heading to the changing room across the hall, I pulled out a pair of dark red skinny jeans that were ripped and paint splattered, a solid white shirt with 3/4 sleeves and a v-neck, a set of black lacy panties and a bra to match, earrings that had cuffs and chains, a couple rings and metal bracelts, a leather jacket, a very sexy black belt and a pair of black studded booties. She really does know me better than I thought. I put everything on and found it all fit like a glove. I ran my fingers through my chestnut waves and realized that for not having any make up for the last four years, my natural beauty hasn't faded.
My eyes were still a soft gray and skin was still a light tan. Overall, I'm a sexy badass. I walk back in and Jessamine looks at me and her jaw just drops.
"Damn, girl. Your looks just won't fade will they? Still hot as ever." she said.
"Thanks. You don't looks so bad yourself." she just went back to fixing her make up. She really didn't look bad. She had on a pair of black skinny jeans and a sexy red tank top with gold studs at the shoulder and sky high stillettos. Since she's slightly shorter than me, so it puts her at the same height as me.
"Here." she tosses me an Iphone. "Its already programed for you. I even put in all your basic contacts, plus, where I bartend at night, I talked to my boss about you coming into work with me and she said it was fine. So as far as you can see, I've already got you set up for a painless life. I even had a room made over in my apartment for you." She saw the look on my face and said "This is the part where you thank me for my hard work."
I hugged her tightly and thanked her for everything. Her phone began to ring in her jeans and she pulled away to answer it.
She held up one finger as if to tell me to wait and I did. I grabbed her compact mirror and began trying to fix my weird flyaways.
Jessie was talking to someone in harsh whispers and I couldn't catch anything that she was saying.
With a flustered sigh, she hung up. Running a hand through her pale blonde hair and sighed.
"I've got to work a double shift tonight and my partner got sick. I know this is completely unfair of my to ask of you, but can you help me tonight?" she asked.
"Sure. Just tell me what to wear." she let out a relieved sigh and hugged me.
"By the Angel, you're a life saver. Don't worry about what to wear I've got you covered. You and I are just about the same size so, I'm pretty sure I can come up with something. Come on. You've been in this hell hole long enough." she grabbed her purse and dug her car keys out.
Leading me out of the hell hole I called home for the last four years, I was greeted with a fresh fall breeze and sunshine. I saw a silver porche parked just outside the gate. Finally. My first steps outside since four years ago.
I've been in that place for so long that I've forgotten what the world looks like. Through the car window, I looked around and saw how the world has changed around me. Things seemed less dark and dangerous. The sunset was still beautiful vibrant colors.
Pulling into the parking lot of an expensive looking apartment building, I admired the glamour of the place. This is what my cousin got from bartending?!
Heading to the double doors a middle aged man opened the door for Jessamine. "Good Evening Miss Lovelace, Miss Gray."
"Hello Charles." Jessie greeted.
I let my weak smile be my greeting. I don't really trust anybody anymore, except for Jessie. It was my old "friends" who got my in that hell hole and I've had trust issues for a while now and I don't see that changing anytime soon. Stepping into a chrome elevator, she pushed the button for the penthouse. "This is where you've been living for the past couple years? How'd you afford this, Jesse?"
"Yeah. Between what I get from work and my inheritance, this is a part of my life. Now its a part of yours." A minute or so later we came face to face with a small hallway and at the end was her apartment. This place was lavish and expensive looking. The floor carpet was crimson and the walls were white. There were no other doors, so Jessie owned the whole top floor? Hell yeah!
Sliding her key in the french double doors, they gently swung open and revealed a lavish apartment. It looked like something that you could only dream of. Across the room was another set of double doors that led out to the balcony. The living room was furnished with deep green rugs and nude couches. The kitchen had amazing chrome appliances and white tile floors that shone under the lights. My bedroom was fricken amazing! It has a king sized bed with silk sheets and comforters that were a deep ocean blue. My closet was filled with clothes that were all my size and for different occassions, but it held most of my favorite casual clothes. Thank the Angel!
"I may have forgot to tell you that I stocked your closet and stuff, but its cool if we share clothes right? I mean were cousins, so its alright, right? But not the lingere or other intimates cause that's nasty."
"Sure." I shurugged. "We shared clothes as kids, so it shouldn't be a problem."
"Great." she looked over at the clock and shock just flew over her face. "Oh shit. Oh shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit! We're going to be late for work!" Jessie flew into her room and came back out with a pair of tight leather pants and a blue lace velvet corset.
"Here.." she threw them to me. "Put them on and just wear the boots and belt. It give you that edgy sexiness that Charlotte likes. I'll be right back. I gotta go change." she hollared as she ran back into her room. As I stripped off my clothes in my room and slipped on the pants and corset and slid my hair into a ponytail. Damn, how is it possible that I look this good. Although, I didn't have boobs like these until I put the corset on. Walking back out, I found Jessie slipping on her heels.
"Oh Angels! You look hot!" She eyeballed my up and down. "You don't even need make-up. It would just make you look shallow. Alright let's go." She paced down the hallway with me following behind her. Hell we must really be late.
Tires squealed as she drove out of the parking lot. Burnt rubber smell filled the car and the air. "Shit! Jess! Do you have a death wish or somethin'?"
"No, Tessa, but we can't be late for this. Tonights a pretty big night. Usually, one girl can hold her own at the bar, but tonight, it's going to be busy, so I really need you to help me out."
"Cool. No problem." a smile spread across her red lips, keeping her eyes on the road ahead of us. Pulling off the highway, he pulled into a club called Night Angels.
This is so not your typical night club. Coming to a screeching stop she pulled me behind her through the back entrance where a woman of probably 25 was standing with an irratated look on her face.
"You're late, Jessamine."She looked over at me. "Who's this?" she motioned to me.
"This is my help for the night since Vivian got sick. She's my cousin Tessa." The woman stared at me and examined me with critical eyes.
"Is this the one that you asked about a job for?"
"Yes, Charlotte. This is the one I called about." she rolled her eyes.
"Alright. Tonight will be your interview. I'll watch you and see how you do tonight with Jessamine. Vivian's going to be out for a while so she could be your replacement."
I nodded. "Now get in there and start bartending. The shows about to start and the guys are starting to get rowdy." Jesse pulled me inside and came through a wooden door to the bar.
"So I'll handle all the complicated drinks tonight, so you can just take care of the beers. All the beer and alcohol are either underneath the bar or in the freezer to the left. Oh you might need this." she handed me a small pistol, loaded. "Guys can get a little hanzy and drunks aren't much fun. Keep it in your back belt loop, out of sight and don't pull it unless it's nessicary. Here they come. " I look ahead and here comes all these guys, mostly middle aged, heading straight for the bar. "Oh and any tips you make, you get to keep." she said a little to quickly for me to catch.
Some of the guys froze at the sight of me and gave me unusual stares. "Forgot to tell ya guys! This is my cousin Tessa, so be nice." sexy whistles and cat calls came from the crowd.
Then it resumed. Calls for different beers came from the crowd and I heard them all. Suprisingly, I found all of the beer with ease and got them out without much trouble. Just in the few minutes that I've been bartending, I've already made about 80 dollars in tips. DAMN! These people pay good. Soon the crowd starting to die down and things were easing up for the show. Men were seated in front of the stage that enxtended into the crowd.
What kind of club is this?! I mentally screamed.
Suddenly, the lights dimmed. "Gentlemen, quite down now." a very sexy voice came from the speakers around the room. " Tonight, we've got something special for all of you. Over at the bar, we have Jessamine's lovely and absolutely sexy cousin Tessa working with her tonight." Hoots and hollars came from the crowd along with dirty propositions. "And for the show, we have all your favorites tonight. To start off you all know her as the Floating Butterfly. So welcome to the stage Victoria!" the crowd roared and hooted as a girl dressed proactively came out on the stage. Music came through the speakers making the floor pulse with the heavy bass. The lights dimmed down and changed into this really deep red.
I stared at her as she began dancing on the silver pole like I've never seen anyone move before. It was pretty damn incredible. I've never seen anyone move like that before, not in my entire life. She moved effortlessly across the stage. Her hips moved in a really sexy sort of way. When the clothes started coming off, I looked away and averted my attention to the door for some reason. This is one hell of a way to spend my first day out of juvie. When I did, I caught sight of something that just made the air in my throat freeze.
A/N: I know that this is a really long chapter, but I plan on making more here very soon, so look out. I hope that this isn't horrible and I hope that you all enjoy reading it. Reviews and comments are always welcomed and feel free to PM me if you have any questions, suggestions or deep religious concerns (i'm totally kidding about that last one). I love you all and I shall see you in the near future.
PS: Yes I know that they are out of character, but to me, in my mind, this is just a character change to make it fit the image that I had in mind, so please, no bashing if its terrible.
