I haven't written anything yet for awhile now.
Well, actually, for, like, forever. I hope you guys forgive me.
Dedicated to all of you.
I'm sorry if it's so ugly. Don't hurt me.

Ordinary Day: Home Sweet Home

It started out as an ordinary day. No school, no homeworks. No nothin'. It was a pleasant, sunny morning without worries or stress to spare. Clary Fray thought so too. She did what most girls wouldn't do. Instead of having fun under the sun, going shopping or have dates, she took out her laptop, her favorite book Pride and Prejudice and Zombies (not what most girls read) and went downstairs to the kitchen to get some crispy red apples.

After getting the apples, she went outside to their backyard. She set her things up on a table, pulled a chair and sat down. The backyard wasn't small. It was pretty large. The kind where you can build forts and tree houses and gardens and playgrounds. Well, they already built a tree house, a small but pretty garden and a swing and slide. It was amazing.

For no apparent reason, the grass was greener back there. She didn't know why. But maybe, she suspected, the fairies were the cause. There were fairies here, tiny little pixies. Where were they now? Clary didn't know where.

Before her dad and mom got divorced, before her brother never wanted to be near her, her family was flawless. Until now, she couldn't quite think of what went wrong. She took a bite of the apple and looked around. It used to be the place she frequented to not her room like most kids. When she was still a little girl, she used to sneak out of her room, go up the tree house and lie there until the sun was up and their parents found out about where she'd gone. Of course, she wasn't alone. Her brother would've noticed she was gone and directly go to the tree house and be her company. She loved it.

Now…now was different. Something changed along the way and it's just broken. Like pieces of glass, whenever broken, even if fixed, the cracks were still seen. She felt herself sigh, took a deep breath and opened her laptop. The laptop opened with a 'ding'. She clicked on an icon and a browser was launched. A few seconds later, after typing in a few things on the textboxes, she was online.

She scrolled down, trying to find something. Nothing. She clicked on the search engine and typed in a few characters. She patiently waited, tapping her fingers on the table to the song she'd heard. A song not most girls would like. Well, she wasn't really most girls, wasn't she? She was something more, something else that made that one guy fall irrevocably, unconditionally and irresistibly in love with her.

A chat room popped up.

Chat Room 16

'Ahh..,' Clary thought. "Home sweet home."

Sorry that was short.
This was supposed to be a one-shot of some sort.
But it was really tempting with the SxI combo.
Wish you liked it. Really sorry again.

Cookies and hearts to everyone.
