Clary's POV

After dinner was over I excused myself, I was planning to go to pandemonium tonight with Aline. I started to walk towards the stairs that led up to the other floors. Are house was a mansion and I knew every room by heart. I had been living here since I was born with my brother, mom, and dad. My dad, Valentine was a very rich man he owned many different businesses all over the world, while my mom, Jocelyn, was a famous artist. I was sixteen—soon to be seventeen—and my brother, Jonathan, was eighteen, we were very close too.

I climbed the stairs to the fourth floor where my room was, the fourth floor mainly only contained my room, my studio room, and a living area for me, all about the size of a small house. My room had cream white walls, marble floors, my bed had dark wood frame that matched the dresser and vanity and black covers that matched the furry black rug that covered all around my bed. One wall was almost all glass that let in lots of light, the sun was still up but would set in several hours. the huge back yard with the pool could be seen. I walked over to the walk-in-closet and looked through all my dresses. Dresses took up half of my closet, so it took a while to find one. I picked a black high-low dress, it was lace that had flower designs in it. It was sleeveless empire waist, it ended right above mid-thigh in the front and mid-calf on the back. It also had a zipper in the front that started from below the chest. I liked this dress.

As I just started looking through my shoes, I heard a knock on the door. I knew it was probably Jonathan, I couldn't think of a reason why mom or dad would be here. They were normally busy. I walked to the door and my suspicions was confirmed as my brother's white hair and black eyes waited in my doorway.

"Hey," I said taking a step back letting him. I walked back over to my closet without looking to see if Jon entered. I grabbed the dress and a pair of black suede three inch heel boots that were scrunched. They reached just over the ankle and they were really cute, the only thing on them was a buckle in the back. That would look amazing with the dress! I put them on the bed, and looked over to Jon who was standing by the end of the bed looking at me with his arms crossed with a calm expression on looking at my outfit I just laid out.

"Going out?" He questioned.

"Yeah, me and Aline are going to Pandemonium. Want to come?" I said walking over to my vanity to turn my curling iron on.

"Okay," He said with a smile, "when are we leaving?" He asked casually.

"Eight .So like in two hours." I answered. At that he had an amused look.

"A little early to be getting ready, don't you think?"

I looked at him. "Not for how amazing I'm going to look." I shot back at him with a smirk. He just nodded his head.

"Oh, really? I think I could look just as amazing in half the time." He said as he laid on my bed and started to relax. I replied with only a scoff.

I sat at the vanity and started to curl each piece of my red hair so they fell in small spirals. My hair has a natural curl to it that makes it slightly wavy, but I only left it natural sometimes, like for more casual events because my hair was hard to tame.

"So is that all you why you came up here, to see my plans?"

"Yup." He said emphasizing the P.

Me and Jon visited for an hour until I finished curling my hair, then he left to get ready himself. After curling my hair I put it in a sloppy bun low on my head with lots of curls falling out. I did my makeup with black eye shadow creating a smoky eye that made my green eyes really show. I put on a very small amount of blush and red lipstick. After I put on false lashes, I grabbed the dress and shoes and slipped them on in the closet. I went into the bathroom and checked myself in the mirror. I was amazed at how hot I looked. The black really brought out my hair and eyes, the dress fitted me perfectly, showing the shape of my breast and my slight curves. I didn't have much but with my small figure I thought it looked good.

I sprayed a small amount of perfume on, grabbed my clutch and went downstairs. Jon was wearing a black V-neck t-shirt and dark faded blue jeans and was sitting on the couch. When I entered he stood and we both left the house. I told the housekeeper, Maureen, where we were going. Aline was waiting outside in her car, She had a black Audi Sedan, which was a good car, but not compared to mine or Jon's car. I had a red Enzo Ferrari—which I loved—and Jon had a dark gray convertible Aventador Roadster. Neither were appropriate to go to a club, they would get stolen and both only seated two.

"Hey Clary! Hey Jon!" Aline said from the driver's seat with the window rolled down. Aline also came from a rich family but not even close to our fortune. The sun had set now so the sky was darkening as stars started to peek through the blue sky.

Me and Jon both mumbled a small greeting and got in, I sat in the passenger seat and he got in the back. Aline had black hair that was parted to the side, it was cut just above the shoulders and looked good. She was wearing a short tight blue dress with black straps and fishnet leggings with blue pumps. Her eye shadow was also blue with black winged eyeliner that brought out her brown eyes.

It was around a half hour drive through the streets and traffic. We had to go into the crowded part of town where pandemonium was. We lived in a big town called Idris, where many people live in because of the location. After finding a spot we parked on the side of the street and we all exited and headed for the entrance. It was a Friday night so the line was long, not that we planned on waiting. I walked up to the door where the doorman was standing with Aline and Jon behind me. We come here often so we grew acquainted with the staff. And are father knew the owner.

"Hi, Meliorn" I said very sweetly with a smile.

"Clary," He said very calmly, smiling. He opened the door for us and let us pass. Instantaneously music started blasting loudly. People covered every inch of the dance floor in outfits with outrageous colors that exposed lots of skin. It was so dark with lights flashing to the beat of the music, there wasn't much of a walkway but I started to make my way to the bar with Aline and Jon.

We all had fake I.D.'s to get drinks easily- not that it mattered since it was Bat, another employee we knew. Jon said that he was expecting a friend, and I wondered who he invited. I knew all of Jon's friends and he knew all mine, we often hanged out together. Maybe not even half hour later, Jordan showed up. By then I was starting to feel buzzed off the three shots we had. After downing another one I went out to dance with Aline. The strobe lights were on and I could only see every time they flashed. Somewhere in the crowd I registered that I lost Aline but I didn't really care.

I danced for a long time with guys grabbing at me and grinding up against me, I didn't bother even talking to any of them though, I wasn't interested in sleeping with a stranger. After the shots slowly died down I went back to the bar and downed three more. On my forth one, Jon came back over.

"Hey!" He said. I quickly turned to him and looked up at him.

"HHeey!" I said back, I was really drunk, I could tell. Jon being the size he is handled alcohol a lot better than me.

"I haven't seen you in a while, where's Aline?" He asked.

"There." I pointed towards the dance floor and gestured to everybody there. He laughed and ordered another drink before going back into the crowd.

After several more drinks I settled on a beer and looked at the crowd from the bar stool. A girl around my age was sitting next to me in a fitted black dress that crossed in the front then went around the neck, it looked like it was made of silk. It showed a lot of cleavage, and was really short. She had long black hair that was curled and dark eyes that were looking at me.

"Hey!" She greeted me. She looked at me taking me in up and down replied.

"Hi!" I yelled back over the music. She was ordering a drink and she looked mostly sober.

"I'm Isabelle."

"Clary," I replied, drinking a shot. We talked for a while but I don't really know much about what, just friendly talk. After talking about the guys there, she complimented me on my dress and went on about getting together to shop. After ten minutes of talking, a couple people came over to Isabelle. Both were guys, one had black hair and the other had blonde, both were dressed in all black. They leaned in close to talk to Isabelle. I couldn't hear what they were saying, but I noticed the blonde one's eyes were on me. He had gold eyes and was pretty built.

"Clary, we should hang out sometime!" Isabelle said to me.

"Yeah, totally!" I replied, she was nice, and pretty, she was tall and very curvy. She gave me a piece of paper, it had her number and her name on it. I partly registered that I just got a girls number, but I didn't think much of it. I grabbed my beer and downed the rest as I stuck the paper in my bra. It was the only place I could think of to put it where I wouldn't lose it. I left my clutch in Aline's car-bringing it in would just be a trouble.

I went back out to the dance floor again now that I regained my energy. While dancing to a rather catchy unfamiliar pop song, I found myself with the guy with the gold hair and eyes. He was pretty hot. I reached his nose with my heels on, but was probably a head shorter without. His touch was chilling and light and gave me goose bumps. Several times we kissed, it was very light and passionate, which I wasn't used to. With the people I have kissed it was always hungry and fierce. His lips felt so good against mine, this felt so different than dancing with a complete stranger.

When I guessed it was around two in the morning I left the gold one and went to find Jon. I enjoyed being with him but I was getting sleepy and I felt nauseous. He wasn't that hard to find, He was with Jordan and Aline drinking at a table, I sat next to him and greeted everybody. I haven't seen them in a long time. They were definitely not as drunk as I was, at least i thought so. We stayed at the table for what felt like another hour before we made our way out. I stumbled through the crowd as I followed Jon, having some difficulty. Eventually I stumbled outside into the cool air. I laughed with Aline as we started walking toward the car. The cold air felt good, there were still cars driving and people walking. Jon drove us all back to the house since he was probably the most sober. Jordan and Aline were staying over at our house I guessed. Me and Aline were in the back seat joking about the club with Jordan and Jon in front. My mind was fogged and I swayed a lot and don't remember how I got myself upstairs. But the last thing I remember was lying in my bed.
