I stir on my bed as I hear far away the loud and sudden music starting to fill my ears. I am this close to his lips, his breath warm against my skin, my hands wrapped around his neck, his smile plastered on his face...but the music keeps getting closer and closer and it's not exactly romantic.
I extend my hand and grab my phone before the loud ringtone wakes up Chris. I tried looking at the screen, but the light was too bright for my sleepy and tired eyes, so without even looking I slide the green button and bring the phone to my ear.
"Hello?"
" Yo, I need you to come get me"
The voice in the other line made me sit up quickly, I rubbed my eyes harshly before looking at the screen on my phone, 4:15am It read. What the hell was this about now? And to think that she was so close to kiss Brad Pit in her dreams, and all of a sudden this asshole calls and...
" ARE YOU THERE?" He shouted.
" Why the hell are you calling me so freaking early in the morning?" She shouted back
" I need you to come bail me out" he answer suddenly lowering his voice
" are you drunk?" she asked and his laughter answer that question quickly.
" Only a bit" it's all he responded.
Clary closed her eyes and took a deep breath. this was the third time this month she had to go bail him out of jail. Jace Wayland was definitely a pain in the ass. Without answering she hung up, took her pillow, pressed it to her face and let out a loud scream.
And to think she was once in love with him. But he killed that love been the jackass that he was. He was too immature for his damn age. He was eighteen for crying out loud, eighteen and with a kid and he still acted like a fifteen year old moron. But what the hell was she supposed to do anyway?, from the Very beginning he had told her how he was, he warned her that he was an arrogant son of a bitch, he told her she was gonna get hurt at the end. But she didn't care, all she wanted was the badass popular kid with the leather jacket and golden hair that walked so careless around school.
They met Junior year at st. Xaviers high school. And it was lust at first sight. He wanted her, she wanted him then why not?. They started dating 3 weeks after school began and she enjoyed ever minute of it. Six months after, she learned she was pregnant, and after that her world made a 360 degrees turn. Her mother kicked her out of her house, while she didn't have any place to go, so her only resource was to go and beg her grandmother for a place to stay while she could find her own.
And eventually she did. She found a job at the near supermarket and saved enough to move to a new apartment, a one bedroom apartment. She managed to go to school and work in the afternoon. Her grandmother did her the favor of babysitting while she was busy, and at night, she would take care of him, her son, as the mother that she was. Not bad for an eighteen year old right?.
Jace? Well, he was different story. When Clary told him she was pregnant, it took him a month to actually process it. Was he a gentleman about it? Of course not, This is Jace we are talking about. His dad also kicked him out of the house, so he stayed in his car for a couple of weeks till he found a place he could afford after he sold his car. He quickly found a job, not an easy one anyways. A construction company hired him when they saw how big he was. They didn't pay him much, but it was something.
During labor, Jace hold Clarys hand tight. While she screamed a bunch of obscenities at him, he just smiled like a five year old when he gets a puppy. Even if he says otherwise, he enjoyed every minute of it. Plus, he wasn't a bad father. He did what he could And that's the reason why she never pushed child support on him, because deep down Jace cared, he cared about his son. And even if it wasn't with money, he would always help her out with everything the baby needed.
They decided to call it quits when the baby was born. Their fights were too much for both to handle, it was not healthy, not for their son and not for them.
It was becoming too much for her. Apparently the only thing Jace knew how to do right, was making gorgeous babies. Picking up Christopher, her son, and throwing a blanket over him as she slid her phone in the back pockets of her jeans.
When she got out of the apartment, she settle her son slowly in his car seat and then she sat on the drivers seat of her 2003 beat up Honda, making weird and painful noises as it moved. Yeah, not her favorite car in the world, but it was a gif from her grandmother, and as of right now, she couldn't afford anything else.
She arrived at the police station, pissed as hell. She got out, picked up Chris from his car seat and walked Inside. The police officer already knew her.
" hey Clary, how are you" He asked politely. knowing that she was probably upset.
" Not so good, what did he do now?" She asked trying to skip the "hellos" and trying to get to the point of her arrival.
" Let see", Bill, the officer picked up his file and started scanning over it.
"grafitty, underage drinking, mmm, the usual...no wait. There's something else, um... Peeing in public"
" peeing in public?, so you are gonna tell me he just lowered his pants, took it out and started peeing everywhere? " She asked a bit confuse.
" Yup, an old lady that was walking by saw him and called us." He answered back.
"oh god, can he be anymore stupid?" Clary asked herself.
" Well...knowing him...it's that a trick question" Bill asked
" never mind, how much is it?"
" Mmm let's see...$750"
" why so much, last time it was only $375?" She asked alarmed.
" That's before he decided to water the plants with his Cock."
Clary look thru her wallet, only $675, money she saved for her upcoming the hell was she supposed to do now?
"Bill, I only got $600...can we make an arrangement?"
" Fine! But make sure you keep his dick in his pants next time" Bill answered while taking the money, he printed the released report and gave it to Clary, after that He opened the gray door that required a code and disappeared inside. Chris started to cry and Clary tried to calm him down while shaking him in her arms. All of a sudden, a loud and annoying voice was heard.
" BUDDY!" Jace ran towards her and snatch Chris off her arms, hugging him and kissing him, and all of a sudden you could only hear his giggles.
Clary tried to ignore him, she just turned around and walked out of the police station. She took a deep breath, this was ridiculous. She saw how he waved to Bill, from the drivers seat, then he placed Chris in his car seat, just to slide harshly on the passengers seat. Clary, started the car and began driving. She could hear his breaths as she drove in silence.
" So you are giving me the silent treatment now?" He asked, smiling.
" I am trying very much not to kill you at this very moment Jace, don't push my buttons." She responded exasperated
" kill me?, nah...you wouldn't"
And she finally exploded!
"WHAT THE HELL WERE YOU THINKING?, REALLY?, PEEING IN PUBLIC?"
" Oh come on babe, don't start"
" don't call me babe!, I just gave my months rent to bail your ass out of jail. It's five in the freaking morning Jace, why the hell would you call me?, why didn't you call Alec?"
" Because...he would have left my ass in jail, besides, I wanted to see Chris"
" funny how you want your kid to see you coming out of jail" Clary responded sarcastically.
" I will pay you ok!, back off!"
Clary just decided to stay silent. It was better than to argue with a drunk Jace. Five minutes after, she pulled in front of Jace's apartment building.
" you know...you are hot when you get angry"
Clary just rolled her eyes, that was the exact same thing he used to tell her when they were dating. Their relationship now a days was just pathetic, sure, he has asked her many times after breaking up, to get together again. In fact, she only needed to snap her fingers and Jace would be her boyfriend in a heartbeat, but that was never going to happend. Their time passed, it was over and the only thing keeping them seeing each other, was her son,...their son.
"get out Jace" She said giving up in the argument.
" See you at school babe!" He said winking at her, she saw how he disappeared thru the beat up wooden door.
