Chapter 1

Clary's POV

I was sitting at my normal table with my best friends, Simon, Maya, Isabelle and Alec.

I didn't have many friends because I wasn't popular, but I was really glad for the friends I'm really glad for the friends I have.

The reason that I'm not popular is that I'm kind of nerdy and I have glasses and I always wore T-shirts and baggy jeans.

"Clary?"I heard someone ask.

I whipped my head up from my tray to see who was calling my name.

It was Simon.

"Sorry, I zoomed out". I say to Simon.

"Anything wrong?". Simon asks with a look of worry in his eyes.

"No". I say "I've just have a lot of things going on in school right now.

You know, tests and stuff". It's a half lie.

"Okey". He says but he doesn't look very convinced.

"I'm so glad it's finally weekend". Simon says to me when we sit on the bus on our way home.

"Me too". I say to him with a sigh.

This week has been a tuff one with many tests and really much homework.

"How are you and Isabelle doing". I ask.

Simon and Isabelle has been together for a few weeks now and it was a pair none of us expected.

While Isabelle is beautiful with long dark hair, Simon is that nerdy guy that always is playing video games.

And just one normal day they came to school hand in hand and said they were together.

"We're doing great". He says,

"You know it's Isabelle's birthday next week, right?" I ask him.

"Yeah". He says.

"So what did you buy her?". I ask.

He mumbles something that I can't hear as an answer.

"What did you say?" I ask.

"I said that I haven't bought her anything yet". He says and starts playing with his fingers.

"Why?". I ask him.

"Because I don't know what to buy her".

"Buy her something girly". I say like it's the most obvious thing in the world.

"And what's that?" He sighs and then he says,

"I really don't understand girls" I just roll my eyes at him.

And then we don't say anything more and just sit in a comfortable silence, both of us lost in our own thoughts.

"Bye Simon". I say and then I walk down the isle of the bus and out of the door.

My house is a small blue house with roses along the wall and a small garden.

(A/N: I know there house doesn't really look like that but I kind of made up a new house and I'm sorry if you don't like it :/ ).

I live there with my mom Jocelyn, my dad Valentine and my brother Jonathan.

I quietly open the door to the house while I silently pray that my brother nor my dad is home.

But it was not my lucky day.

"Is it you Clarissa?" I hear my brother ask.

I don't answer him and instead I silently walk through the hall and to the stairs, hoping he won't notice me.

"Hallo, your little idiot I'm talking to you". I hear him say and I turn around.

He walks up to me so close that we're now is standing face to face.

I look into his green eyes, fearing what will come.

"You're an idiot, and useless stupid girl and I will never understand why mum and dad is still keeping you here". He says and then he smacks me,

right across my face.

"Go up to your room, I can't stand to see your ugly face anymore". He says and then he pushes me, hard, so hard that I fall down on the floor.

"Go!" He screams and with that I stumble up the stairs and into my room.

I throw my bag on the floor and then I walk into the bathroom and close the door behind me.

I look at my reflection in the mirror.

I look at my my re hair and green eyes and then my eyes go to the red mark

on my cheek and I burst into tears.

I'm quite used to Jonathan hitting me and screaming hateful things to me but it still doesn't make it any less worse.

I stop crying when I hear the familiar ringtone of my phone

I dry my tears with the back of my hand then I walk out of the bathroom

to answer it.

I look at my phone to see who's calling. It's Isabelle.

"Hello". I answer with a slightly unsteady voice.

"Have you been crying?". She asks and I can her the worry in her voice.

"No". I say. This time with a more steady voice.

"Okay...". She says, not fully convinced.

I silently hope that she's not gonna ask more questions.

"Anyway". She says after a while, this time with the normal happiness back in her voice."I was wondering if you wanted to come to dinner tomorrow?"

"Why?" I ask

"My other brother is coming back to live with us". She says happily.

"Jace". I ask.

"Who else?" She answers and I can practically see her rolling her eyes.

I haven't seen him in a very long time, two years maybe.

"Clary?" I hear Isabelle ask and that's when I realize that I haven't said anything in a while.

"Yeah". I say.

"Do you want to come tomorrow, on a dinner?" She asks

"Sure, I would love to come". I say.

"Okay then, come over at five o'clock". She says and then she hangs up.

I put my phone on the nightstand and the. I look at the clock on the wall.

It's 5 pm.

I sigh and lay back on the bed.

I know it's Friday but I'm not a party person or someone who is really popular and have loads of friends who they always are hanging out with.

So normally I'm on tumblr or Pinterest or I'm painting or reading or something like that.

I'm already tired so I walk over to my wardrobe and take out a pair of sleep shorts that is black with white dots on and a simple white tank top.

I put it on and then I walk over to my bed and climb in.

I put the comforter over me and then I fall asleep with a blond haired,

golden eyed boy on my mind.

Jaces POV

It was a very long time since I last have been here.

I take a deep breath and then I get ready to walk into the big grey house.

I pull down the handle on the door and open it.

"Hallo!" I call "anybody here?"

The next thing I know I'm getting a big hug from a dark haired girl.

Izzy.

"I have missed you so much!". She says and then she let go of me and the rest of the family comes and gives me hugs.

I have missed them so much.

When everyone has hugged me we walk into the big dining room and then we eat dinner and they tell me everything I have missed when I was away.

After dinner I say good night to Robert, Maryse, Alec, Izzy and Max and then I walk up the stairs and into my room.

The room is exactly how I left it, with dark blue walls and a black desk, wardrobe and desk.

I change into a pair of black sweatpants and a simple white T-shirt and then I climb into the bed and pull the dark blue comforter over me.

As soon as my head hit the pillow I fall asleep.
