Sorry it's been awhile, i got distracted, i went on vacation to Las Vegas (no i didn't drink or gamble im not 21 yet, nor will i be any time soon) Then i was just lazy sleeping and going to a friends house, but have no fear! The super writer is hear! And so Chapter three begins.
Chapter three- Why Me?
I woke to a voice. One of the most beautiful, voices I had ever heard, it sounded like an angel from heaven. Then it all came crashing down. Damn, why can't I have an angel and not the devil's brother. I thought. I opened my eyes and met a pair of golden ones. I've know him for about a day and I could already melt into those eyes. Whoa, wait, take a HUGE step back, did I just say that? Ah, crap, I'm in some deep do-do now.
"What are you doing here?" I asked sitting up, and rubbing the sleep away from my eyes.
"Well you said to wake you up so you could go meet your doom at the front of Izzy's bedroom door. Ring any bells?" I shook my head, still groggy from sleep. "Pandemonium, we're going tonight? Isabelle wanted you to be her miniature life size Barbie and dress you up. She told you to be at her room in three hours, two hours and fifty-eight minutes ago."
"Ugh." Was all I said, before I got out of bed and grabbed a brush. "You can go now, thanks for waking me up though."
He shrugged. "I figured it would be better than Isabelle yelling at you to get your lazy ass out of bed and get to her room. Nope, instead you get all this sugar." He gestured to himself. I rolled my eyes as he left the room.
I walked out of my room and turned left, making my way to Izzy's room. She was right it was hard to miss, her door was painted black, unlike the white doors that surrounded it on either side. I knocked on the door, and she opened it, yanking me in by the arm.
"God, what took you so long, your two minutes late?" she half yelled at me.
"I had to brush my hair."
"Whatever, just sit down over there and we'll begin." I walked over to her chair that stood before her mirror and let her get to work.
So for the next two and a half hours, Izzy poked, prodded, pulled, and shaved me. Then she spent the rest of the time, getting both of us ready. She did a natural look for me, and didn't put much make-up on, not that I minded, I don't like make-up. For herself, well lets just say she looks like a complete different person. All of her make-up was dark and made her look dark and sexy, but in a good way. Then she dressed us both. She put me in short a white blouse with a leather jacket, along with VERY short leather pants with fishnets underneath. When it can to the shoes, I said no heels, and after a lot of protesting, she gave me knee high boots that WEREN'T heels. Izzy herself wore a short blue dress that showed off her back, and was a deep V-neck. She also wore fishnets (how she had so many fishnets, I don't know, I only own one.), but she wore seven inch high heel boots that stopped half way up her calf. Our hair was curled to perfection, me just brushing it out and recurling certain parts, and Iz just took hers out of the bun it was in and BOOM! It looked amazing.
Finally, we finished and I couldn't help but stare at myself. I managed to look badass but still innocent. Isabelle on the other hand, was nowhere near innocent.
"Shall we go now?" she asked sticking her arm out in a funny manner.
"Yes, I think we shall." I replied grabbing her arm, we both started laughing and kept laughing until we made it to the elevator where the boys were waiting. They were both wearing all black but where Alec was wearing a black sweater, Jace was wearing a white t-shirt (ok so not all black, but still) and a leather jacket. Both Alec and Jace stared at Izzy and me before, Izzy gave them a look that said: quit staring if you want to keep your sunshine sunny.
"Well, shall we." Jace said as he gestured for us to enter the elevator first. Izzy and I stepped in followed by Alec and then Jace.
"Sooo, Izzy, care to tell us all why you have dressed like a slut?" Jace suddenly asked. My jaw dropped. Isabelle did not look like a slut. Apparently she didn't think so either, because she made it very clear…
"First of all, I do NOT look like a slut. In fact, this is one of my safest outfits of all time. And second of all, what right do you have to just blurt out a LIE. I thought you hated liars, Jace, was I wrong? Because I specifically remember you telling me and Alec, that you hated lying and liars. Isn't that right Alec?"
Alec looked super uncomfortable, which was how I felt. He looked up at the two of their faces and said, "I'm staying out of this, last time I took sides, the other got mad and didn't talk to me for a week."
"Yeah well-" but Izzy was cut off, because the elevator came to a stop and groaned open. I ran out of their and dropped to the ground kissing it. "Land! Stable land! Not some, cooped up, evil and old, small confinement. Now I can act like I don't know these people." I shouted. When I stood back up, all three of them were glaring at me. "Oops, sorry," they relaxed and the glares stopped. "Alec, your not crazy so it's ok to be seen with you." He shrugged, and I walked over and looped my arm through his, and walked away, leaving Izzy and Jace glaring and dumbfounded.
Alec and I walked down the street laughing over how sad they looked. We walked the rest of the way talking about nothing and everything, not even paying attention as to if Izzy and Jace were following us. Alec, it seems, is a nice guy. He gets along easily with me, and well, everyone. He's a nice guy, once you get around those cameo looks and electric blue eyes.
When we arrived at pandemonium, Alec walked over to the bouncer and started talking to him. I turned around just in time to see Jace and Isabelle come around the corner and walk over to me. I mentally laughed over earlier, because they were still fuming.
"How could you choose Alec, over all this?" Jace questioned, gesturing to himself.
"How could I not?" I retorted, and Izzy snorted in order to cover her laugh, it didn't work.
Jace put a hand over his heart in mock hurt, his mouth forming a perfect "o" and his eyes widened. "Why, must you wound me? I can only take so much hurt, you know." I started laughing, and so did Isabelle, Alec must've heard to, because I heard him cough laughing next to the bouncer who- by the way- he was still arguing with.
"What can I say? It's fun." With that, I walked over to the bouncer and Alec. I gave Alec a look that said, "Let me handle this…" and he walked off.
"Alright, listen up, bubba." I said clearly pissing him off. Wow, four words and I already pissed someone off, that's gotta be a new record, I thought to myself. "You need to let me and my friends through or else."
"Or else what? Your gonna beat me up? What are you, twelve? Now shoo, little girl, I need to get back to my job."
I blinked real quick, making sure I heard him right. He called me twelve and little girl. I really hate being called little girl.
I put my hands on my hips, and glared at the guy. It probably looked weird, a girl, barely five foot, was glaring at a guy a good foot and a half taller than her, with bluff muscles and lots of tattoo's on his crossed arms. Hey, maybe it was funny, I did hear laughing, but I assumed it was Jace, I mean the guy screamed "RAPE". But even if he did rape me I would just scream "R-A-P-E, get your pee-pee out of me." over and over again, until someone came, or he covered my mouth.
Then I walked right up to him, and whispered some nasty things, and a couple of threats. One of them was "You know, if you don't let us through, don't be surprised if you wake up the next morning with bruises all over your body, and the rape drug in your system. Only you won't be raped. Oh no, it'll be much worse, and you won't remember this conversation, or anything at all."
His eyes bulged out and he quickly stepped aside letting me through. I turned around and found my homie's (Ahhh, long story. What! I didn't say anything about banana cream pie, although that sounds delicious), who were staring at me like I just sang "Party at a Rich Dude's House" in Portuguese.
"Well, are you coming or not?" I asked. Everyone quickly regained their composer and followed me into the club.
The club was cool. Different colored lights light up the dance floor, in a strobing fashion. It was dark almost everywhere else, with the occasional light to help you see. The bar was off to the left when you first walked in and a set of stairs leading to the next level, quickly followed, and tables, along with seats filled the right side of the room, including the lounging area, were people went to make out. The dance floor took up most of the room in the club, and the DJ area was right behind it. Tonight a new DJ was up there talking about how tonight was karaoke night. His DJ name was MC CLAP YOUR HANDS. I started giggling, and walked over to Izzy and grabbed her hand pulling her over to the dance floor.
We started dancing to all the song, swinging ours hips to the beat, with ours hands over ours heads. The DJ said that the next song was going to be the last, until karaoke ended at least. While we waited for the next song to start I looked around the room, and saw Alec and Jace over at the bar, in a deep conversation, their head tilted towards each other, probably talking about which weapon was the best against a Sevenger demon. As if feeling my eyes on them they both looked up at the same time. Probably a parabati reflex, I should really get a parabati sometime. Anyway, Alec looked away blushing, and Jace raised an eyebrow at me, I smiled and winked before disappearing into the crowd.
I found Isabelle right as the next song started playing. Lady Gaga's "Beautiful, Dirty Rich". I smiled over at Izzy and started dancing again, only this time singing to.
Daddy, I'm so sorry
I'm so s-s-s-sorry yeah,
We just like to party,
Liked to p-p-p-party yeah.
I sang the rest of the song with Isabelle laughing and dancing and having fun. When the song ended, the DJ took the microphone and said, "Alright, anyone who wants to do Karaoke, please, come up to the front state your names, and the song you want. Any request works."
Izzy turned to me with a glint in her eyes, and said, "Come one Clary! Let's go sing, I have the best song I want to sing with you."
I looked at her horrified. "Uh, no thanks." And then I turned around and ran over to were Jace and Alec were still talking. They stopped talking when they saw me and turned to face me. "Hey guys, what's up?"
They shared "the look", and Alec said, "Uh, nothing, hey I gotta go to the bathroom, see ya." And he hurried away. I watched him walk away, with a weird look on my face.
"What was that all about?" I asked turning towards Jace.
"I have, no idea." He replied. I looked at him and actually studied him, something I don't get to do often. He had a stubble that I found really sexy… damn, why can't he be ugly? His lips were thin, and his gold eyes were… staring right at me. "What? Something on my face?" he asked pretending like something was.
"No, I was just staring at you."
He raised his eyebrow at me, damn you, why can't I do that? "You know when people stare and get caught they usually don't say they were standing. Instead they look away and blush."
"When I not like most people." I said shrugging.
"No, you're not, which brings me to my next question."
"Ok, shoot."
"Well, I would if I had a gun, but I don't so I'll ask the question." He took a deep breath and opened his mouth, when Izzy came into view.
"OH SHIT! Hide me." I said and jumped behind Jace and put my hands on his arms, to block me from Izzy, and damn that boy has some muscles.
"Why am I hiding you?"he asked.
"Izzy wants to do karaoke with me. I don't."
He looked at me evilly and yelled over for Isabelle, before I could protest. "IZZY! SHE'S RIGHT HERE, HIDING BEHIND ME."
I glared at him, and said, "I hate you."
Izzy came over to where we were standing and dragged me over to the DJ. She did some talking and the next thing I know, I'm being handed a microphone and pushed onto the stage.
"Ok folks were gonna turn it down a notch and sing and down beat song. So kick back, take a break, relax, and enjoy the music by Isabelle and Clary."
"How will I know the song?" I asked Izzy.
"Oh, you'll know."
And she was right. It was a song I know, they sang it on Glee when Rachel wanted to get a nose job. The music started and Izzy started singing Quinn's part. I guess I got Rachel's. I listened to Izzy as she started singing and she wasn't that bad.
I wish I could tie you up in my shoes,
Make you feel unpretty too.
I was told I was beautiful,
But what does that mean to you?
Look into the mirror who's inside there
I thought about how, Isabelle IS really pretty, gorgeous even. Me, I was just cute, not pretty, or beautiful. Just plain cute.
The one with the long hair,
Same old me today…
Then it was my turn, oh boy… I'm in hell now.
My outsides are cool,
My insides are blue.
Every time I think I'm through,
It's because of you.
I looked around the crowd, and saw they were all swaying to us, I Jace, and Alec (who had returned from the "bathroom") and met Jace's eyes, he nodded towards me as if to encourage me, it worked.
I've tried different ways,
Buts it's all the same
At the end of the day,
I have myself to blame.
I'm just trippin'.
Isabelle jumped in here to help me.
You can buy your hair if it won't grow.
You can fix your nose if he says so,
You can buy all the makeup that mac can make,
But if you can look inside you,
Find out who am I, too
Be in a position to make me feel so,
Izzy left me for a moment to start right after me.
Damn, unpretty.
Isabelle's turn.
I feel pretty
Damn, my turn
Oh so pretty,
I feel pretty,
Izzy joined in again on pretty
And witty, and bright.
My turn… I'm screwed. I looked and Jace and stared at him while I sang the rest of the song. When we finished my eyes were still locked on Jace's and the crowd cheered for another. Oh, crap, Izzy was leaving me.
"Izzy, don't leave me! They want another." I yelled at her as the crowd cheered.
"Not for me you idiot, for you! You were amazing." She said.
"Isabelle!" I yelled, but she kept walking.
"Sing a good song, I'm sure Jace will love it" she called and walked away.
What the hell? What does that mean. I thought for a moment, and then it hit me, Alec and him talking in hushed voices, and stopping when I got near, him wanting to tell me something, him looking at me when we came to the elevator, him staring at me now. I knew the exact song I wanted to sing. I told the DJ and he took my mic. and gave me one that hooks onto your ear.
"Alright, does any GIRL here know how to dance?" A couple of hands shot up and I picked them up onto the stage, and explained to them what I was doing and what to do. They agreed and got ready. I started singing when the beat began.
The clock strikes,
Upon the hour, and
The sun begins to fade.
I started dancing just like Brittany did in glee only not as dirty.
Still enough time, to figure out,
How to chase my blues away.
I've done alright up till now
It's the light of day that shows me how,
And when the night falls,
My lonely heart goes.
I jumped off the stage and grabbed the first guy I saw and started dancing with him.
I wanna dance with somebody.
I wanna feel the heat, of somebody.
Yeah, I wanna dance with somebody,
With somebody who loves me.
By then, I had grabbed a different guy, danced with him, and made ditched him. Then the girls came out and everybody made space for us to dance, so we danced.
Oh, I wanna dance with somebody,
I wanna feel the heat with somebody
Yeah I wanna dance with somebody,
With somebody who loves me.
They danced while I grabbed people and started dancing with them, or putting people together to dance. Then, I found who I was looking for. Jace. I walked right up to him, and grabbed him. He looked shocked at first but then he started to dance with me.
Somebody who loves me,
To hold me in his arms,
I need a man that will take a chance
On a love that burns hot enough to last.
I smiled and started backing away from him. And joined the other girls on the dance floor.
So when the night falls,
My lonely heart goes.
We started dancing exactly like they did on glee, and since we all hand on tights, we do the rolling thing one the ground.
Oh, I wanna dance with somebody
I wanna feel the heat, with somebody.
Yeah I wanna dance with somebody,
With somebody who loves me.
I could feel Jace watching me even as I danced around the center of the dance floor. Then came the tempo change and Santana's part.
Come on baby,
Ha,ha,ha,ha
Now get with this.
Whoa, oh, oh, oh
I kept dancing but my eyes were trained on Jace.
Don't you wanna dance,
Say you wanna dance,
Don't you wanna dance?
I walked back over to Jace to finish the song and started dancing with him again.
Don't you wanna dance,
Say you wanna dance,
Don't you wanna dance?
I stopped dancing and stared at him.
Don't you wanna dance,
Say you wanna dance,
Don't you wanna dance?
With somebody who loves me.
The song was finished but apparently Jace wasn't because he pulled me close and kissed me, right on the lips. It felt good, his lips were soft and it was probably the best kiss ever, I forgot all about the people around me and kissed him back with everything I had. When we pulled back, everyone was still cheering, but I think it was because he kissed me.
"Does this mean you'll, um, you know…" he trailed off sounding slightly nervous.
I knew exactly what he was talking about and was about to tell him so, but where's the fun in that? "Jace I have no idea what you're talking about." I said, trying to sound innocent. I don't think he fully believed because he scowled at me. It was actually really cute. His eyes narrowed, his jaw set, and his thin lips thinned even more.
"You know exactly what I'm talking about don't you?" he said, still scowling.
"Well you'll just have to catch me and find out won't you?"
He was about to reply, but I didn't give him a chance, I slipped out of his grasp and ran straight for the doors. I headed out of them and started heading right for the institute. When it came into view I headed straight for it, and burst through the doors, and headed up the stairs completely ignoring the groaning elevator. I headed up the flights of stairs and made my way residential area, to where my room was. I don't even know if Jace was following me, but I quickly put aside the thought as I rounded the corner to my room...
Cliffy? No? Yes?
Ok, so maybe it wasn't badass, but come on? I didn't want to do something you people would expect, besides, Badasses aren't always a badass sometimes they drop the act, and do something normal. Or as normal as it gets.
Opinions please, more? Less? Is it good? Or to childish, i wont take offense to the truth.
