I arrived at the airport just in time for my flight so I rushed through security. The metal detector got set off by the person in front of me so I had to run to catch my flight. Just as I reached the door for my plane they were about to shut it down, but thankfully I made it.

I got on my flight and settled down, mentally preparing myself for the the four hour flight from Wisconsin to New York. Luckily I got put on business class with old people so nobody was kicking my seat, there weren't any babies crying, and nobody was talking obnoxiously loud.

I usually sleep when I'm on planes but I was too anxious to even attempt to sleep so I lay in my seat thinking of everything that's happened within the past month or so.

I didn't really know what to expect when I got to Jocelyn's place. I had tried thinking of her as mom and just couldn't bring myself to do it.

I had talked to her on the phone a few times to get everything sorted out, but we never had any deep conversations about what's going to happen to me when I get there.

Without realizing it I drifted off to sleep only waking up when the plane landed. I got all of my bags and went outside to hail a cab.
About thirty minutes later when I was about to ask the cabbie when we would get there he pulled up to a house and stopped.

"Alright here you are. Need any help with your bags?"

"Yeah that would be nice thanks."

I got out of the car and walked around to the trunk to get my things. The air out here smelled so much more fresh than the city air I'm used to. All of the lawns we freshly mowed, and had white picket fences with flower gardens in the yard.

I started walking up the pavement to the front door. I turned around to the cabbie and motioned for him to put the bags down.

"Thanks." He just nodded and walked about to his car.

I knocked on the door three times and stood there waiting. A few seconds later it opened and a tall woman who long beautiful auburn hair appeared. She just stood there with her mouth hanging slightly open and stared at me.

"Uh, hi." My voice came out in more of a whisper than I wanted it to.

She had a brown pencil skirt on with a ruffled white dress shirt tucked into it. Her hair what looked like a messy bun, but random chunks had started falling out. As I kept on looking at her I could see how incredibly beautiful she actually was. She was tall for a girl, maybe 5' 9" with a slender build and soft green eyes. Everything about her was absolutely mesmerizing.

"Oh sorry, please forgive my rudeness. Come on in Clary darling. Let me help with your bags." She quickly rushed to where the driver had dropped my bags picking them up and scurried inside.

I followed her in the house, well my house now, looking around as I did. We walked into the kitchen where a tall boy who I assumed to be my brother was making a sandwich.

"Jonathan this is Clary, your sister. Clary this is Jonathan."

He turned around and smiled making a little bit of his sandwich fall out of his mouth. I laughed and he just blushed then swallowed his food.

"Hi Clary. Mom has been talking about you coming for the past month straight." I blushed at his remark. He stuck his hand at me so I shook it.

"Well I'm just happy that you guys have let me come and stay with you."

"No problem. Well I have to go to soccer practice so I'll see you later."

He finished his glass of milk then kissed Jocelyn on the cheek and left.

"Okay now that you've met your brother let's drop your things off in your room then I can show you around a bit."

"Actually I was planning on maybe resting for a little while and getting some things put, if you don't mind. Everything's just happening so fast that's all." Her face dropped a little bit so I quickly added, "I promise as soon as I finish I'll come and get you.

Jocelyn immediately perked up, a smile spreading across her face.

"Okay Clary. I understand completely and if you need anything just holler."

I just smiled back at her, hoping she would understand how grateful I was of all of this.

"Thanks. For everything. I can't begin to explain how much it means to me that you're letting me stay with you and Jonathan."

"Oh Dear, don't mention it. I'm just as happy as you ate that I get to have my little girl back, especially after everything that has happened.

I didn't even know what to says I just gave her a lame 'yeah'.

She started walking towards the door so I turned to my bags to start unpacking, just as she started to talk again.

"Clary? I'm only asking because I didn't know if you'd be okay with it, but can I have a hug?

I hesitated for a moment because I usually don't do touchy feely stuff but then went and wrapped my arms around her. She leaned down to me and held me close to her.

I had almost forgotten how good it felt tk feel completely safe in someones arms. I felt my eyes get watery and a tear roll down my face.

She pulled back and I immediately wiped my eyes dry.

"Thank you." She whispered then left the room.


I flopped on my bed and stared up at the ceiling. I had just finished unpacking most of my things and sorted them putting them in their respected places. I looked at the clock seeing it was already six.

"Ugh, this whole time zone difference is screwing with my head!" I screamed at no one in particular.

I remembered that I had promised Jocelyn I would go talk to her when I finished so I dragged myself off my bed and walked to the hall.

Just as I was about to go to the kitchen I realized I didn't know where the kitchen was. Okay so bad on my part by not getting the tour or the house. But then again it's not my fault their house is freaking huge!

I walked down the hall to where saw Jonathan go after he tot back from practice and knocked on the door.

"Yeah?" I peaked my head inside seeing him sitting on his bed playing video games. "Oh Clary, what's up?"

"Uh, well don't laugh but I can't find the kitchen. I told Jocelyn I would find her when I finished unpacking a bit so she could show me around, but I can't really find her when I don't know where anything is so I can't find her."

"Oh no problem, let me just pause this." I looked at the screen to see what he was playing and saw it was portal. That was my favorite game to play when I still had my xbox.

"You play portal? That's so sick. Before he moved away my friend used to come over and we would have portal marathons." He just looked at me kinda dumbfounded.

"You seriously play video games? That is like the coolest thing ever. My friend is coming over later, but do you wanna play till he comes?" I just smirked at him.

"Only if you and your friend are ready to get your asses handed to you."

"Is that a challenge?"

"Yep."

"Grab a controller and come here then. Unless you're scared."

"You wish!" I walked over to the tv and plugged in the controller then sat next to him on his bed. I think I'm going to like staying here more than I thought...


So there's chapter dose! I hoped you liked it. Reviews as ways are amazing and seriously just brighten up my day! Until next time...
