When we arrived in my room I just stood in the door way. I heard an annoyed cough behind me and when I turned around Jace was short temperedly tapping his watch. This for some reason began to make me mad and I yelled at him.
"Ok, I understand you're in a hurry but please just calm down! I was just attacked and I don't really know you that well… Just calm down!" I marched into my room and opened the closet to grab my school back pack. When I turned around to head to do to dresser to get clothes and I saw Jace sitting on my bed looking at my book shelves. I ignored him and continued walking to my dresser and opened the dresser drawers, but I stopped before I grabbed clothes I looked back at Jace.
"Um Jace, how long are we going to be gone? I need to know so I pack enough…" I asked him. At this he finally turned to me.
"Evelyn … we aren't going to be coming back. It's far too dangerous to come back here. We can't risk anything so I have a feeling you will want more than your little back pack to pack your stuff in. And may I just say I recommend bringing this book." With a laugh he held up the book Twilight. "I have always wanted to read it…" I could hear the sarcasm dripping from his voice but I just ignored it.
"Spoiler alert. She becomes a vampire." At this he lets out a laugh and puts the book back. He got up and strode over to where I stood. He began to look through the clothes I had and he just kept looking.
"Um do you mind?" I coughed at him. He just looked at me and away retreated back to my book shelves. I rummaged through my drawers that were filled mostly of camis, shorts, and a few concert T-shirts. I grabbed about 10 pairs of shirts and about 15 camis and shoved them in my back pack I grabbed some jeans and shoved them in the bag attempting to make more room in the bag. I just gathered up all of my concert T-shirts and threw them in the bag too. I looked around my room looking for some things I knew I wanted to keep. My eyes connected with a picture frame that sat on my bed side table. I grabbed ahold of it and just looked at it for a minute then put it in my bag, the image that was in the picture frame still flashed in my mind.
I walked over to the book that I had just thrown on the floor and picked it up and placed that in my bag as well.
"Jace if you wouldn't mind I would like to get dressed and get a little ready before we go… so could you leave for just a minute?" Jace quickly stood up.
"Oh… um, yeah I can go…" He quickly left the room leaving me just standing alone. As I watched him leave the room I felt a feeling in my stomach. I felt almost upset when Jace left the room. I ignored it and I quickly took off my pajamas and placed them in the bag and took out a pair of jeans and one of my camis. I looked at myself in the mirror and was a little shocked by what I saw. My dark brown hair was in a tangled mess and my dark blue eyes looked lighter than normal. I grabbed ahold of my brush and frantically tugged the snarls out of my hair. Now my hair hung loose over my shoulders and I threw the brush in my bag and went to the door and opened it. I let out a scream when I opened the door and Jace was right in front of me. He had his back to me and he seemed to be leaning back on the door but when I took away what he was leaning on he fell backwards. I didn't have enough time to move as he fell back onto me. We both fell to the floor with a thud and my headache pounded harder. Jace hurried to get to his feet and he pulled me up. I got up and brushed off my pants and kami even though I'm pretty sure I got no dust on me. I picked up my back pack and slung it over my shoulder and looked at Jace.
"Ready to go?" I questioned him. He nodded his head and we began to walk to the front door. When we got to the front door he held the door open for me, which surprised me because no guy ever really noticed me. He was nice and handsome… I had to remember that. When we got outside I looked around for a car we would be going in.
"Uh Jace. Where is the car?" I heard Jace laugh behind me and he only laughed harder when he saw the probably confused look on his face.
"I don't have the privilege to have a car yet. Hodge says I am not trustworthy enough with something so expensive. Therefore we are going to walk and take the subways." With that he began walking down my driveway in the direction of the nearest subway. I looked back at my house and held in a cry at the place I grew up in and before I could let my tears shed I turned and hurried after Jace and we were on our way to the Institute.
