Falling in love with her best friend was not part of Clary's life plan.
Jace had been her best friend for as long as she can remember. She hadn't realised her feelings until the past year, she kept having a weird feeling in the pit of her stomach when he come near her or looked into her eyes with his beautiful pair. She ignored it at best she could. Her feelings were silly and worthless; she and Jace would never be together like that. They were best friends for life and that was the end of that.
Suddenly her computer made a noise signalling an email coming through.
What u doing ~J
Drawing. You? ~ C
Clary hated lying to Jace but she wouldn't dare tell him what she was actually doing.
Should have guessed I'm listening to music, parents are fighting again ~J
Want to come over? ~C
Be right there, thanks Clary ~J
Jace's parents always fought and he was left drowning out the noise with music or bunking at my house for the night until they calmed down a bit.
She quickly cleaned her room a bit, knowing that Jace wouldn't really mind but felt better when there weren't bras lying on the floor. The sound of a car interrupted her cleaning and she quickly ran to the front door to let him in.
The car stopped and he walked toward her locking his car behind him. People that didn't know him well would think he was perfectly fine but she could see the hurt in his eyes. She pulled him into a hug knowing he needed it and led him to the lounge room for an all night movie marathon.
