Author's note: I do not own "The Mortal Instruments"books or the characters I just like to play in the sand box with them.
This is my first foray writing for this fandom. I've read all the books, watched the movie and watch the show. I "see"the tv actors when I picture these characters but please see whomever you want.
Please read and review!
Introduction: Wheel In The Sky
Clary watched the green exit signs wiz by as she stared out the window. She had been feeling unsettled for months now but she had hoped breaking up with Sebastian would be the change she needed. It had definitely helped a little, their relationship hadn't been good for a long time, but as she listened to Simon and Izzy laugh and talk in the front seat that pit in her stomach...that part of her that had always felt like something was missing...burned. A reminder that she wanted what Simon and Izzy had. A reminder that she has never had it. A reminder that Clary Morgenstern had never been in love.
Simon and Izzy were definitely in love. They only met 3 months ago. Izzy had been hired at the fashion magazine Simon was working at in the accounting department. Clary couldn't remember the last time she had heard Simon talk about a girl as excitedly as he talked about Izzy. From the first phone call when he kept trying to casually bring Izzy's name up Clary knew ...her best friend had fallen hard for the brunette beauty. It only took one night out with the two of them for Clary to see why. Izzy was beautiful but more importantly she was smart and caring and fun. She made Simon laugh. She made Simon happy. That made Clary happy.
She and Izzy clicked too and it became common for them to double date. They were so excited when they were planning this trip. A whole week out of the city, at a beautiful house in the Hamptons, right on the water. It was going to be a great couples week and then Sebastian came home drunk one night too many and Clary had enough. When he sobered up the next morning she told him to get out and not come back. He barely put up a fight. Seemed he had been unhappy in the relationship for a while too. Unfortunately, the hefty deposit they had already paid on the house was non-refundable and even if Clary decided to just suck it up as a lose Simon and Izzy couldn't pay the remaining balance without some help. So here Clary was sitting in the car feeling like a third wheel and hoping that some time alone, in new surroundings, relaxing on the beach, would get her out of this funk. And also hoping that a week with the two love birds in the front seat didn't make her want to punch one of them in the face
