(Jaces POV)

I woke up to the sound of pounding on my bedroom door. My chest was heaving. I must have had another nightmare about my father.

"WHAT?" I shouted at the closed door, trying my hardest to keep my voice steady.

"Rude much? I'm just making sure your up in time to get ready for school. You have to drive yourself today, I'm walking with Clary." The irritated voice of my adopted sister, Izzy, shouted back. I loved Izzy, I really did, but did she have to get me up at stupid o'clock in the morning?

"Ok, I'm up! Bye now!" I replied in my best whiny teenager voice. There was no reply, but I could hear Izzy's stilettos angrily stomping against the wooden floor and down the hallway.

I sleepily rolled into my side and squinted at the clock. It was 7 in the morning. If you could even call this morning.

I decided I might as well get up now, so I dragged myself into the shower and washed my golden hair.

I wasn't being vain when I said if was golden. It was just that colour, like the rest of me. Training for football over the summer I had got myself a golden tan. I certainly wasn't going to complain.

After slipping into a simple white T-shirt and some black jeans, I checked my phone. Six missed calls. 5 from my ex-girlfriend Kaelie, and one from Izzy. Izzy was probably trying to get me up. Kaelie, however, was a different matter. To put it in nice words, she was a slut. I had a summer fling with her, thinking it would just be a one night stand. Unfortunately, she became the clingiest person in the world. It had NOT been a clean break.

Sighing, I deleted all the calls. As I was walking downstairs I thought about my conversation with Izzy this morning. She had said she was walking to school with Clary. She had been hanging out with Clary a few times over the summer, but I hadn't met her yet. From what Izzy said she sounded like a nice girl.

Sitting at the kitchen table was my other adopted sibling, Alec. He was in college, but home for the summer. He had short black hair and blue eyes. He was quite shy and not very outgoing. Maybe that's why it came as such a surprise when he brought his boyfriend, Magnus, home.

"Morning, Jace." He greeted me, looking up from his coffee mug.

"Morning." I replied, nodding in his direction. We left at that, neither if us were big on conversation at this time in the morning.

On the side was a note from Izzy saying she had already left and that she had made me toast. Damn, I love that girl.

Looking at the clock I noticed that it was about time to leave. Grabbing my toast, I headed out to my car, ANC began the impending journey of doom. Otherwise known as the ride go school.
