The Secrets Of The Night.
Chapter 1
Best Friends Always Have A Code.
"Ok. I was thinking we go shopping with the demon hunting money without telling our parents so they still give us allowance?" Izzy (Isabelle) was in the shower and I was brushing my teeth and trying to prepare myself for yet another day of shopping.
"Izzy, that would be a bad move when we get grounded from shopping." I really didn't care about shopping, but she did, she cursed under her breath while I said,
"Iz, I got to run down the street to the store, I forgot to buy my Demon study book." I had 3 more days to get ready for school and I was not going to be Izzy 3 years ago when she forgot everything and didn't even get a notebook till 3 days after school started.
"OK, but don't you dare try to ditch me or I will get Alec on you a*s!" I smiled and ran out of the house, when I seen, next door to my house, across the street, was a new family moving in, I went to go in my house for money when I heard a sexy voice say,
"Hi, I'm Jace Herondale." I turned around and dropped my keys, which he calmly picked up and smirked at me, which I scoffed at and said,
"Clary, now I have to go." before he could reply, I shut the house door.
"What the hell! it took you forever just to but a Demon study book!" I look at her and nod as she pulls out a blue V-neck or a Purple V-neck and I say,
"Purple." she smiles,
"I know, should I wear my Shadow Hunting boots and black skinny jeans or purple stilettos?" I scoff when she says the word 'stilettos'
"I agree, I don't want to make you look even smaller." I roll my eyes and say,
"Hey, after shopping come to my house, Chick flicks, popcorn, Idris chocolate and slumber party?" she squeals and hugs me as I laugh and say,
"Well do I look ok?" I smile down at my outfit Izzy picked out for me, my red hair flowing down my back, my black Panic! At The Disco flowing tank top, 2 finger with straps, Black cut off shorts, and a pair of black toms.
"Of coarse you look great! I dressed you!" I laugh as we grab our money and walk to the mall.
"OMG! they have Mc Donald's! the Clave is getting really fun lately!" Izzy says,
"YES! WHERE?!" she laughs as I slap her arm when I realize she lied,
"Not. Funny. A-"
"Well Hello Red." I turn around and there is my... Hot neighbor.
"Its Clary Moron."
"Its Jace Red."
"Ugh, what do you want?" I say.
"Just trying to get to know Idris better, I used to live here when I was like 10 but I moved to the New York Institute and now, at 17, I am back."
"Ok... Why does that involve me? and also my friend and I-" I look over to see Izzy left and I groan out loud.
"It involves you because your my neighbor and I am lost." He is a very smooth liar, but I was taught by Valentine to see through Liars.
"Your not lost."
"Yes I am."
"FINE! I will walk you home!" I look at the sun set and realize its past 8:30 P.M. at least.
"So, Why did you come back?" I asked quietly after a few minutes of silence.
"I was living with my friend Sebastian and his father scents I was 10."
"and?"
"and they sent me back." I nodded quietly.
"You know Clary, you do live next door to me, so you will be seeing me awfully a lot."
"Yes, I know... why?"
"Because you seem like a fun person."
"That is because I am."
"Well, does that mean we are friends?"
"Friends?"
"Yes, the people that talk to each other all the time and have occasional sleep overs." I laughed at that.
"Were friends, but I don't know about the sleepovers." he smiled.
"Wait... who do you live with now then?" I caught him off guard.
"What? Oh. My adoptive parents, the Branwell's. I knew them scents I was about 12, they basically took me in without Idris permission Immediately. There known for adopting troubled kids, Jem has lung cancer, but he has a 98% chance of living, Will abused and molested at a young age, Jessamine watched her mom get raped and murdered, her father get tied up and shot in the head buy mundanes."
"What about you?" his eyes changed, but his face was still.
"Mom commit suicide while she was 8 months pregnant with me, only because my father died." I nodded, not wanting to pry on how is father died.
"Oh." Oh was all I could say. after a few minutes of more silence we walked up to his house I smiled at him and said,
"Bye."
"Bye." I walked up to my door and walked in were Izzy's shoes were, I seen mom and she said,
"We invited the new neighbors over for dinner tomorrow." I nodded, kissed my mom on the cheek, and hugged dad as I ran upstairs to see Izzy sitting on my bed watching 'The Notebook.' (we can just act like technology is aloud, but not cars, in Idris.)
"Your late!" she yelled and I smiled as she said
"Who was the blond hottie?" I laughed and said,
"One, you have Simon, and Two, Jace Herondale." she groaned
"What?"
"We are enemies because he kicked sand in my face when we were 6." I laughed as she scoffed and said,
"Alec called and said he was going to come over, he wants to spend his last summer days with his 'Red head and Demon.'" I laughed at mine and my brothers nicknames.
"Oh god, are you going to the school Carnival on the last day before school?" I nodded.
"You will drag me shopping if not." she frowned and threw a pillow at me as I laughed.
Later as we started watching 'Gone with the Wind' I looked over to see Izzy and Alec was watching the movie contently and Izzy was snoring a little to loudly, I looked back over to Alec and say,
"Allie?" I use his annoying nick-name but he secretly finds it adorable cause I couldn't say 'Alec' when I was younger so I said 'Allie' instead.
"Yes Red?" he might have been laying down, but he was still a few inches taller than me.
"Did you see the neighbor today?" Alec was sitting up and was worry-eyed.
"What happened?" I looked at him and smiled.
"Nothing, I just was wondering." he smiled and nodded,
"Me and him talked for a few minutes, we knew each other as kids." I nodded my head as we lied back down, I put my head on his chest and curled up against him, he wrapped his arm around my waist and smiled.
This is how it should forever be. Alec thought as he kissed the top of her head lightly.
