Izzy dressed me in a short, black halter dress. By short I mean it stopped at the top of my thighs. I had silver eye shadow on and my hair was curled.
"Izzy, we look hot." I stared at us in the mirror.
Izzy was wearing a red halter dress and her hair was straightened. She handed me black, four inch heels while she put on her boots."Come on, Clary." Izzy grabbed my arm and dragged me out of the room.
Izzy went down first and I followed. I could feel eyes on me as I walked down the stairs. Jace's mouth dropped open, but he soon recovered. He was dressed in light jeans and a dark button up shirt. I walked past him and went outside. Magnus and Alec were waiting in the car already. I climbed in and stared out the window in silence. When we arrived at Pandemonium Izzy grabbed my arm a dragged me out of the car.
"Seriously, Izzy?"
"Yes, Clary. Now let's go. Simon's already inside."
Since Simon knows the owner, we were allowed in by just our names. Magnus and Alec went off somewhere while Jace went to the bar. Izzy and I grinned at each other then started dancing. Two guys joined in and started grinding up against us. We slipped away. I went to the bar while Izzy went to go find Simon.
"Hey, James." I smirked at my costar.
"Fray." He nodded. "The usual?"
"Yeah, sorry for back handing you literally."
James shrugged. "It's okay. Here you go."
I drank my martini. I may be eighteen, but that doesn't stop me from drinking. That doesn't stop anyone from drinking. Someone tapped my shoulder and I spun in the chair.
"Yes?" I dragged out the word.
"Wanna dance?" A guy with black hair and dark eyes smiled down at me.
I shrugged. "Sure whatever."
We walked over to the dance floor and I started moving my hips. The guy's hands traveled down my sides and rested on my waist. They moved to my back and cupped my butt. I glared at the guy and smacked him across the face.
"Do. Not. Touch. Me." I snapped.
The guy laughed and pushed me against the wall. I pushed against his chest but he wouldn't budge. He lifted me up and kissed my neck. His lips started moving lower and I kicked him. He grinned at me.
"Feisty." The guy kissed me. He made me feel so cold.
Next thing I know he's ripped off of me and I fall a few inches back to the ground. I looked at my savior. Golden eyes stared back at me. Jace just saved me.
"Verlac." Jace growled.
"Yes, Jace?" He asked sweetly.
"Stay away from her."
"I don't think I will." That earned him a punch in the face.
I grabbed Jace's arm before he could punch him again. "Jace, stop." The flash of a camera blinded me for a second but I recovered a second later. "Jace, take me home." There was panic in my voice.
Jace could tell too. He pushed the guy to the ground and grabbed my arm. "Clary, what's wrong?"
"Paparazzi." Was all I said.
He understood immediately and got me out of Pandemonium quickly. Paparazzi was surrounding Pandemonium. "Shit." Jace muttered under his breath.
I looked up at him with pleading eyes. He tugged on my arm and we started running. We were almost home when I twisted my ankle because of the heel. "Jace, my ankle."
Jace looked back at me and picked me up. The paparazzi followed us in cars and on foot. They were closing in on us. I hid my face in Jace's shirt as he ran. Jace can run really quickly so we arrived at the Lightwood's house quickly. As soon as we were inside he put me down and I limped towards the window. Paparazzi were everywhere. I sighed and moved away from the window.
"Thank you, Jace."
"Are you okay?"
I sat down and took off my heels. With gentle hands he examined my ankle. I winced and Jace frowned.
"I don't think it's broken. It could just be sprained."
I sighed. "I guess I should go to the doctors tomorrow."
"I could bring you." He suggested.
"Thanks."
I love- I mean like how Jace is acting. He's being really sweet and not arrogant. Clary, stop. Jace is a player. You don't like him. Not even a little bit. What am I going to tell the director? I only have five days before I start shooting a television show. Izzy, Magnus, and Alec burst through the door. Jace's hands were still on my ankle and they stared at the two of us. My face started to heat up and Jace's hands were off me. I stifled a complaint. Jace made me feel warm. It wasn't an awkward warm either. Izzy and Magnus were smirking at me while Alec stared after Jace, who had left to go back to his room.
"He was only trying to make sure my ankle wasn't broken."
"Yeah, sure." Magnus rolled his eyes playfully like Izzy did.
"He's bringing me to the doctors tomorrow. I need to get x-rays probably."
Izzy had a full blown smirk on her face. Magnus turned to Alec. "Izzy and I have to talk to Clary. I'll see you later." He kissed his boyfriend and then Izzy and him took me into her room.
"Spill it, Fray." Magnus said.
"Paparazzi were surrounding Pandemonium so we booked it. They followed us and I busted my ankle. He was making sure it wasn't broken when you three walked in."
"The paparazzi were crazy. You aren't kidding. It's bad out there." Izzy said with wide eyes.
"They're still out there?" I sighed. "They better leave."
"They will. Don't worry, Clary. Simon will probably scare them away." Magnus laughed.
Izzy smacked his arm and walked out of the room. she came back minutes later with Simon.
"Hey, Fray. You wouldn't believe what the paparazzi showed me."
"Oh no." I groaned.
If you guys want to see anything just let me know
