In honor of New Years, I wrote this for you guys. Magnus's song "Bare Trees" is just something I whipped up and the song Jace sings is "Youth" by Foxes.

"Jace you're on in two minutes." A scratchy voice said from the earpiece in Jace's ear.

Jace tapped the talk button on the device and replied. "Thanks Maryse."

Jace felt a hand on his shoulder and turned to find his manager and best friend, Alec, scowling at him. "Jace you were supposed to be with Isabelle ready to be onstage ten minutes ago! It's the New Year's Eve BillBoard performance; you can't afford to miss this show!"

Jace had the grace to look apologetic. "Sorry Alec, I was just looking at the crowd."

Jace turned away from Alec and peered around a column that blocked his view from the crowd.

Magnus Bane, the number one pop singer of the year as well as Alec's boyfriend, was onstage singing his number one hit single, "Bare Trees."

I never knew,

Never knew lovin' you was like lovin' winter,

Until I looked in the mirror

And saw a bare tree,

A bare tree

Lookin' back at me,

Branches stripped of leaves

A man stripped of liberties

As Magnus bent down to touch a few of the fan's hands, he couldn't help but notice the crowd was mostly girls with obnoxious hair and tight dresses who's rich father's had bought their daughter's way into the crowd. All in all, it was the normal type of crowd to be expected at such performance.

One girl in particular caught Jace's eye; it was a girl with bright red hair that made her head look like it was on fire and eyes so deep and green they seemed to see right to his soul when their eyes met. She wore a denim jacket over a black shirt with the Batman logo on it and a dark green skirt.

"Jace, where the hell are you? You and Isabelle go on in one minute!" Maryse's voice sounded terrifying even over an earpiece.

Jace rushed backstage to arrive a moment later next to his close friends Isabelle who was clad in a short red sparkly dress and red heels.

Magnus's voice boomed through the building. "It is my pleasure to introduce two artists whose single was almost as popular as mine on the charts, Jace Herondale and Isabelle Lightwood!"

GUESS WHO HASN'T FIGURED OUT HOW TO USE A LINE BREAK IN WORD

Clary watched as the man wearing a sparkly leather jumpsuit exited the stage, only to be replaced by a blonde guy wearing just an open black vest and jeans and a girl wearing all red. They bowed their heads before beginning to sing.

They didn't warn me
When I was running wild
The dragons breathing fire
In the backyard at night

We live in circles
And it's so hard to breathe
Maybe the same old fears
What have we here?
Don't bring me down
With you

Now I'm just chasing time
With a thousand dreams I'm holding heavy
And as we cross the line these fading beats have all been severed
Don't tell me our youth is running out
It's only just begun

The duo stopped their singing and the background music faded.

The girl in all red spoke into her microphone. "As you all know, two fans of our choosing get to come up here and perform the rest of the song with us. Now if you want to get up here, make some noise!"

The girls in the crowd rushed to the edge of the stage screaming the blonde performer's name.

"Jace! Jace! Jace! Jace!"

NEW YEARS LINE BREAK

Jace scanned the crowd for the girl he had spotted in the crowd earlier. He finally found her, trying to blend into crowd as much as she could. He grabbed the microphone from Isabelle's hand and spoke into it. "You! The girl with the red hair and the denim jacket!"

The girl scowled at him as all the girls in the crowd turned to glare at the red haired girl.

Isabelle snatched the microphone from Jace's hand and spoke into it as she pointed at a random guy in the crowd. "And I choose… you! The guy with the glasses and the Star Wars shirt!"

The two people were pulled up onto the stage from their respective spots in the audience.

"What's your name?" Isabelle asked the two.

"I'm Clary." The red head said at the same time as the guy said "I'm Simon."

"Alright Simon and Clary," Isabelle said into the microphone. "Let's sing!"

LINE BREAK COMING THROUGH

Now I'm just chasing time
With a thousand dreams I'm holding heavy
And as we cross the line these fading beats have all been severed
Don't tell me our youth is running out
It's only just begun

These fading beats
These fading beats

Clary smiled nervously as she mumbled the lyrics. To be honest, she had never even heard of the song being performed, so she just mouthed the words as discreetly as she could. Clary glanced to the side and saw that Simon was having the same issue.

These fading beats
A thousand dreams
These fading beats

A thousand dreams
It's only just begun

As the song ended, Clary smiled in relief and clapped along with the rest of the audience.

"Thank you to Simon and Clary! They're going to follow us backstage for a special surprise! Happy New Year Hollywood!" Jace shouted as he exited the stage.

Backstage, Alec greeted the foursome with signed posters and tickets to Isabelle and Jace's show. Clary gratefully accepted the merchandise and mumbled a "be right back" before slipping outside into the alley behind the venue.

She leaned against the wall and closed her eyes and took a deep breath.

"Are you alright?" a voice asked her.

Clary snapped her eyes open to find that Jace had joined her in the alley.

Clary gave him a small smile. "Yeah, I'm just tired."

"You seemed pretty lost onstage." He said with a smirk.

"Sorry, I'm not a big fan of your music so I didn't know the lyrics." Clary said, rubbing her arm nervously.

Jace shrugged. "Don't worry about it, I was so nervous the moment I stepped onstage all the lyrics left my mind."

Clary laughed. Maybe this guy wasn't so bad.

HAPPY NEW YEARS GUYS! I hope you liked this special little thing I wrote for you!

See you 2016 my stars,
