Clary's POV
I look at the mirror in front of me, making sure that everything was in place with my outfit. It was currently 6:45, fifteen minutes until sebastian comes. It was hard convincing my dad and my brother to let me go without giving them the real reason but eventually they accepted.
"What do you mean you're going on a date with sebastian verlac?" my brother cries out inrediculously, pacing the room while my dad sits on a chair, the newspaper he was previously reading now on the kitchen table in front of him, "What do you mean you're dating at all?" he asks fixing me with a protective glare.
I mentally stab sebastian in my mind, hating him for making me go through this, "But dad I'm sixteen, and in the eleventh grade. I think that I can go out with a guy by now" I defend myself, standing up and walking towards John. "We know" My dad says, also making his way to John, "But we're still protective of you Clarissa, you are still the little girl of this family" I sigh as he wraps both John and me in a hug, "I know, and i hope that I'll always be that to you guys, but I want to go out" I say, tensing the muscles of my knees instead of clenching my teeth or fists so they don't notice. After a few minutes my dad releases us and looks into my eyes, "Alright, you can go" My jaw drops when he says this, he's actually letting me go? "But you have to be home by 11:30, if you're even one minute late I won't let you go out for at least a week" I nod my head vigorously, trying to look excited. "THANK YOU!" I hug him and my brother again before noticing that it was a bit past Max's bet time so I go upstairs and give him a bath before tucking him in.
The door bell rings, bringing me out of my reverie. I look at the clock next to my bed and see that it is 7pm on the dot. I stand and grab my purse, making sure that I had my phone, some mints, perfume, my wallet and pepper spray in it. I take a deep breath before opening the door of my room and begin my walk down the stairs, already dreading the night.
Halfway through the staircase I see Sebastian standing at the door with my father, a bouquet of flowers in his hands. John was in the living room with max playing video games, but he paused it to watch Sebastian. When I reach the bottom Sebastian looks up and smirks at me, to others it would look like he is happy to see me, but I can see behind the mask, I can see the gloating in his eyes at my weak willpower. "You look beautiful Clary" he says, handing me the flowers, I take them and put on my best fake smile, hoping that dad and John don't notice. "Thank you" Max comes next to me and tugs on the knee length dress I'm wearing so I kneel in front of him and let him speak into my ear, "Are you really going on a date with him?" He asks quickly looking at Sebastian then back at me, I give him a nod and a reassuring smile before giving a hug, "Don't worry I'll be back later tonight, you can stay up with John and dad to wait for me if you want, just make sure one of them gives you your bath and that you brush your teeth, OK?" he nods his head and gives me a squeeze until letting me go.
I give the flowers to John and take Sebastian's arm, waving to my family as we got into his car. Once we were far enough away from the house Sebastian pulls over to the side on an empty road and turns to me. "You sure clean up nicely" he says this in a low murmur, eying my strapless emerald colored dress that has a fitted corset and puffs out around my waist, with lighter green pumps. He leaned forward, taking a strand of curly hair that fell loose from the bun I had trapped it in. He stopped leaning when his lips were right next to my ear, his body nearly pressing against mine "You are mine now Clarissa" He whispered, sending uncomfortable shivers down my spine "No one else but me is allowed to touch you" He placed a hand on the lower part of my back, adding enough pressure for me to know that its there. As if I couldn't, the slightest touch from him could send shock waves of panic through me. "And no one else, and I mean absolutely no one, can kiss you in any way" at that he leans in and presses his rough lips on my own soft ones, kissing me in a way that makes me know he's the dominant one, the one with all the power.
After a few minutes he leans away back to the steering wheel and begins driving again. "I know that you need to be home by 11:30, so we're going to go eat at a restaurant then go to a park that I'm sure you'll love" I freeze at the word park, don't get me wrong I actually love going to parks, but this is Sebastian, and he's taking me there late at night.
I keep silent for the rest of the car ride, not wanting to speak to him when not necessary. When we finally arrived I look out of the window to see an Italian restaurant that's swarming with people. I jerk away when Sebastian comes to view, he opens the door and offers his arm to me. I take it and stand, waiting for him to lead me into the tightly packed restaurant. 'How can we possibly get a table with all these people?' I think as he skips the line and heads straight to the host. "Hello, I have a reservation for two under the name Verlac" When he says his last name the hosts eyes widen slightly, obviously knowing who he is. He quickly types on the computer in front of him, "Yes here we are. Right this way please" We follow him to the back area to tables that are secluded thanks to the curtains around it. Sebastian thanks him, then takes a seat.
Once the curtain is closed, hiding us from the restaurant, Sebastian stands from his seat and walks towards me. He stops when he's directly in front of me, taking a hold of my chin to make sure I'm looking at him "Here are the rules little Clarissa, you will be my girlfriend, you will tell no one of our little arrangement or else I'll have to be sure to.. take care of them" he says this with a sadistic grin on his face. I nod quickly, trying to show him I understand, "Good" He walks back to his own table and picks up his own menu, "What would you like?"
We are walking hand in hand through the park, to most people it looked like a loving and romantic, but they couldn't feel the pressure of Sebastian's hand in theirs. "Beautiful night isn't it?" He asks, walking us towards the trees located in the park, "It is, would be amazing to sketch" he nods his head and walks further into the small forest. Once we stop he turns to me, backing me up until my back is against a tree. My hands begin to shake, he must've noticed because he threw his head back and laughed, "Oh don't worry, I'm not going to do anything just yet. I need it to be romantic".
When he finishes speaking he takes my lips with his own for the second time that night. I complied to this, only following him instead of trying to take control. After a while he steps away slightly and checks his phone, "It's 11:15. Should probably start heading back" We walk back to the car, and once I'm in there I look to the mirror to thee that he left a mark on my collar bone and on the spot where he bit me, I decide to wear my sweater to keep them covered. We arrive at my house at 11:28, before I go he gives me one final kiss, saying that he'd see me soon. I get out and go into the house. Once inside Max comes barreling into my arms, excitedly telling me what he and John did tonight. Once I make sure that he's had his shower I take him upstairs and tuck him into bed.
I gently close his bedroom door and walk into my own room. I see the flowers in a vase in there, but there was now a note. I cautiously walk over and take the note into my hands, opening it.
Had a great time with you tonight, but I'm sure next time it'll go even better. Be sure to wear something pretty tomorrow to school, but not too revealing. No one but me is allowed to look at you ;).
I drop the note and run into the shower, wanting to remove any trace of him I had. When I'm finished I crawl into bed, begging for sleep to come to me. Next thing I knew my alarm was going off, did I actually sleep?. I get up slowly, noticing how sluggish my body was. Seriously? sleeping restlessly again? I haven't done that in two months!
I walk into my bathroom and get ready for the day, in the end I decide to wear a loose dark blue dress with a black leather jacket on top and ankle high black heeled boots. to cove whatever is revealed on on my chest I wear a simple necklace me and my mother had gotten 2 years ago. I put concealer on the marks Sebastian left, and some mascara. Once satisfied with my look I go into Max's room to find him dressed and standing next to the bathroom door, waiting for me to help him brush his teeth.
While I'm wiping his face with a towel to make sure that there is no toothpaste left max asks me a question That I knew I would be dreading to answer, "Why are you going out with Sebastian?" I quickly swallow the lump that was forming in my throat, making sure that Max didn't see.
"Well Max, I've liked Sebastian for a while now, I just kept it a secret because I knew that dad and John wouldn't like it, so when he asked me out I decided why not? I really enjoyed my night with Sebastian and I'm hoping that our relationship grows" I nearly gag saying those words, and silently thank god that I was tying Max's shoes so he couldn't see my face.
After breakfast I buckle Max up in the backseat of my car and drive towards his school, mentally preparing myself to talk to the boy who teased max and his parents.
When we arrive i park my car in the high school and walk Max over to his elementary school, when we arrive we go straight to the front office and I see a middle aged couple wearing expensive looking suits and typing away on expensive phones, their son next to them playing on an Ipad with an apple watch on his left wrist.
Max's principle stepped out then, He is a middle aged man, short brown hair that was beginning to grey in some areas, he was fir and around 5ft10, not too tall but not short either.
"Please come in" He said opening the door for us, the rich family push passed us without looking up from their phones, a look of disinterest on their faces along with matching scowls.
I silently curse at them in my mind while I walk inside and sit Max on my lap in front of the principles desk. The room was homey, mainly brown and cream colors around. On his desk was a computer, a plaque with his name on it (Mr. Jones), and a picture of him with a woman, most probably his wife, a young girl that seems to be in middle school, and a man that seems to be in University.
"Now then" He suddenly says, interrupting my thoughts, "I understand that young max here was a victim of verbal bullying by your son, Carlo. Mr. and Mr.s Cage, you must understand that this school has an extremely strict bullying policy, what your son did must not go without consequence. Not just in school, he should also be given a punishment at home. If he is caught bullying again we will be forced to either lower his grades or give him an after school detention, depending on the severity of his actions.."
At this point the boy's mother shoots out of her chair, forgetting about her phone so that she could give us death glares. Man this woman is scary, but I held my ground, staring into her fiery eyes without a moment of weakness.
"WHAT DO YOU MEAN HE HAS TO BE PUNISHED AT HOME? OR THAT IF HE BULLIES THAT LITTLE WIMP AGAIN HIS GRADES WILL EITHER BE LOWERED OR HE WILL HAVE DETENTION? WHO ARE YOU TO TALK TO US, DO YOU KNOW WHO WE.."
"SHUT UP" I yell out, quickly standing and placing Max where I was sitting a moment ago. How dare she think that she is superior to any of us?
"YOU'RE SON CAUSED MY LITTLE BOY PAIN AND THAT SHOULD NOT BE TAKEN LIGHTLY. WHO ARE YOU TO THINK THAT YOU ARE SUPERIOR TO US ALL! I BET THAT A FLEA ON A DOG WOULD BE MORE SUPERIOR THAN YOU!"I take a deep breath, planning on continuing but mom zilla beat me to it.
"EXCUSE ME? IT IS NOT MY SONS OR NEITHER MY FAULT THAT YOUR KID CAN'T HANDLE A BIT OF FIRE. MAYBE SOME BULLYING FROM MY SON WOULD BUILD A BASE FOR SOME CHARACTER FOR YOUR LITTLE RUNT" A loud SMACK! resounded throughout the room, a nasty red mark left on that horrid woman's face. The nice lady at the front desk had taken Max and that kid Carlo out of the room when things started to get intense.
The lady tentatively put her hand on the imprint my hand had made on her cheek, rage slowly filling her face.
I turned to the principle, "I'm sorry for my behavior today mister Jones, Max will not be attending today, and i shall call you if anything happens. Have a good day sir."
At that i swiftly made my way out of the office, thanking god that my clumsiness had decided to spare me at that moment, grabbed Max and took him to my school.
Jaces POV ;)
As I walked through the halls of the school, I noticed that shortcake wasn't anywhere to be found so I quickly made my way to John's locker knowing that he'd be there.
"Hey man" I say giving his shoulder a slap. "Hey dude" "Where's shortcake?" I ask, hoping that I didn't sound desperate.
John didn't seem notice, or at least that's what I thought because he continued to go through his locker. "She's at the elementary school with max, She'll probably be at the office to get a late slip soon enough though.. AHA!" he pulls out a history book from his locker and slams it shut, "See ya later dude" He says walking away.
Once I made sure that he was nowhere in sight, I casually made my way to the front office. When I get there The secretary asks me why I'm here, I tell her that I'm making sure a friend of mine gets here on time so I could take her to class.
I waited, 4 minutes turned into ten, and those ten turned into twenty, and then into Thirty 4 minutes passed. Just as I was gonna go to the school to make sure she's alright Clary comes in, holding Max tightly in her arms with a look of absolute rage in her eyes.
She stomps to the front desk and asks for a hall pas and a permission slip to keep Max with her. While she's waiting I walk up to her and tap her shoulder.
She jumps slightly and whirls around to face me, her eyes slightly larger than they had been a minute ago. It actually made her look cuu.. WOAH! Stop it Jace, This is your Johns sister you're thinking about.
"Whats up shortcake?" I ask, gesturing for her to give me Max. She hesitates for a moment before complying and giving him to me, at that same moment the secretary had the papers she would need ready and handed them to her. After thanking her We both leave and head towards her locker, Max still in my arms.
"Oh nothing much, just argued with some spoiled rich brats who thought it was okay for their son to pick on max" She opened her locker and reached in to pull out her Biology book, There was 2 minutes till the bell rang, so this was probably the next subject on her schedule. "No way" I said as I began to walk with her.
"Yes way! That kids mother actually thought it was okay for her son to be doing that!" All of a sudden she stopped, looking at the book that was in her hands.
"Everything alright?" I ask while adjusting a now sleeping Max in my arms. "I just realized that we are Dissecting frogs today and checking out a sheep's heart" She states, her eyes going over to Max.
An idea quickly popped into my mind, "Why don't I take him? I have English next lesson and we're reading 'To Kill A Mockingbird'".
Her head quickly snaps up to meet my eyes, "Really?" she asks.
"Really I say, taking the permission slip from her hands.
"Oh thank you so much Jace! I don't know how I'll repay you"
"Hey it's no problem, I happen to like the kid"
She gives a smile and quickly hurries down the hall, The bell ringing, a flood of students rushing around in her wake.
I take a seat in the back row of the class, Gently laying Max's body on my lap, his head leaning on my shoulder.
Halfway through the lesson I heard a low mumbling, but couldn't figure out where it was coming from, after a while it got a bit louder and I realized that it was coming from Max, I gently leaned my head down to hear him better.
"Clar, Mommy" He mumbled, his lips quivering slightly. Did he just Clary mommy?
A few minutes of me gently rocking him while taking down notes and he stops, sleeping soundlessly.
'They must be really attached to each other'
Clary's POV
After a while of dissecting frogs I decided that I needed some fresh air and asked to go to the bathroom. As I was down the hallway an arm suddenly wrapped itself around my waist. Just as I was about to scream a hand clamped down on my mouth, and I instantly knew who it was.
"Miss me?" Sebastian asks as he pulls me out of the building, under the bleachers. His hands instantly traveled throughout my body, his lips taking control of mine.
After a while he attacks my neck and collar bone, marking me. His hand begins to travel up my torso, and i instantly knew where they are going. I began to struggle but he took no notice, eventually an alarm goes off on his phone and he releases my neck, taking my face into his hands "Our 15 minutes are up. You should probably head back to class." he places one last kiss on my mouth and leaves, swaying his hips.
I let myself slide to the ground, gathering my knees to my chest. Only one thought played itself over and over again in my mind.
