~What If I Was Noting? -All That Remains~

Chapter 2.

JPOV

Aline and I finally landed at JFK, my parents and Max came to pick us up. I gave them a hug.

"Mom, Dad and Max this is Aline Penhallow, Aline my mom Maryse, my dad Robert and my little brother Max" I ruffled his hair like i used to.

"Cut it out Jace" he pushed my hand out of his hair.

"It's nice to meet you Aline" they shook her hand.

"Yeah you too. Where's all the hot spots?"

"Hot spots?" my dad asked. Aline is a party girl, if there's a good party you can find her there.

"Yeah clubs, bars you know fun stuff"

"Are you even 21 young lady?"

"Pfft. No, but who cares?" my parents already don't like her. Great. I looked around for Alec and Izzy.

"Where are Alec and Izzy?"

"Their at home" mom told me

"They didn't want to come?" I couldn't keep the hurt out of my voice. I was excited to see them. Weren't they excited to see me too?

"Your father didn't want to go to Brooklyn to get them"

"They live in Brooklyn?"

"Yeah with Clary, Simon and Magnus" Magnus? Who the hell is Magnus?

"Who in the hell is Magnus? What kind of name is that?"

"You will get introduced to him at some point" mom said

"Oookaaay" Aline faked a yawn

"Let's go home" Home, do i even have a "home" anymore? I don't consider Nashville my home even though i live there and New York really isn't my home anymore either. No but your heart is in New York a little voice in my head told me. I shook my head to clear my thoughts. I wonder how Clary is. I really do miss her, it may not seem like it but i do she still has my whole heart. Everything i do is for my publicity, it's not really me. It makes me fel like complete shit to do the things i do, i don't wanna "date" Aline she's not my type i hate partying all the time, but everyone tells me it'll make me and my career better if i "date" her so i foolishly do. Even Aline dosen't know the real me no one really does except My family, clos friends and Clary. I hope Simon treats Izzy like she deserves to be treated, i'm actually suprised their still together. I wonder if Clary ever went to Art School, she's an amazing artist. I shake my head again i need to stop thinking about her.

"Hey mom Friday night i'd like to have a dinner party so i can see everyone again"

"That's a great idea Jace i'll call Izzy when we get home" I smiled.

When we got home i put Aline's stuff in a guest room and mine in my old room. It still looked the same bare white walls, books alphabetized by author on my book shelves, black blanketed bed made up. A picture on my night stand caught my eye. It was of Clary and i, we were looking at each other i was behind her with my arms around her slender waist you could plainly see we were in love, i sat the picture down. When i opened my door i saw Aline looking at all the pictures on the walls. She was looking at a picture of me, Clary, Izzy, Simon, and Alec. I had my arms around Clary and she was looking up at me, i remembered that day. It was beginning of summer after Junior year.

"Who's that?" To some she may have sounded curious but i knew better she was sizing up her competition. Apparently my mother coming up the stairs could tell too. Mom pointed each of us out as she said our names.

"Jace, Clary, Izzy, Simon and Alec" Aline scrunched up her nose at Clary.

"Ex-girlfriend?" She asked me.

"You coud say that. We broke up the day I left for Nashville"

"Smart, she would've ruined your career. Izzy looks like a girl i would hang out with, brautiful, great sense of fashion"

"Clarissa is the reason he has a career. If she didn't convince him to to follow his dreams he wouldn't be where he is today" she stalked down stairs. Oh boy she pissed mom off. We went down stairs i heard mom on the phone.

'Hello Isabelle honey. Jace is home and he'd like to have a dinner party' I could hear Izzy. Some things never change.

'Friday night Izzy and he has Aline here with him too' her voice had a non chalant tone to it but i knew better. Apparently Izzy wasn't paying attention to the sound just her words.

'Well obviously you and Simon, Alec and Magnus, Jonathan and Sebsation'

'No please don't bring Clary'

'Because he dosen't want her here' low blow mom low blow. I'd love to see Clary again I miss her so much.

'Isabelle please be courtious to your brothers wishes'

'Honey he wasn't here for long just for business'

'Bye Izzy see you Friday'

"She's pissed"

"Oh yeah" mom went to check the pans on the stove.

"Jace sweetie will you set the table for me?"

"Sure mom" she gave me a smile and kissed my forehead. I've missed my parents.

"Don't you have servents for that?" Aline asked wrinkling her nose

"No we don't"

"Why? Who cleans this huge house for you Mrs. Lightwood?"

"I do Aline" mom was getting fed up with her and it's only been an hour. It's gonna be a long two weeks.

"My parents always had hired help, we've never had to do anything ourselves" she sounded so proud of that.

"I taught all my children how to cook, clean, set the table, do the dishes, vaccum, dust, sweep and mop the floors, make thier beds, take out garbage. At the end of the week they all got an allowence for the hard work they did"

"Wow my parents taught me how to be pretty, they saaid i'll go a long way on my appearance"

"Imagine that"

"Imagine what?" she sounded confused. They also payed off the teachers so she'd pass school.

"Nothing nothing at all. Why don't you guys go sit at the table dinner is almost done"

"Ok mom. This way Aline" I led to her to the dining room. We had a table that was big eough to fit 10 people. I pulled out her chair for her.

"Thamk you Jace"

"Your welcome" I took the seat on her right, my dad was at the head of the table and on the other side Max sat down. I'm not sure if mom will sit next to Max or accross from dad. Not to long after mom carried out Chicken Fettuccine Alfredo, my favorite. It smelled delicious. I missed mom's cooking, we all had full plates except for Aline, he explanation was she has to watch what she eats.

"Jace honey what do you want for your dinner party on Friday?"

"I haven't fully decided yet mom" at the same time Aline says

"I'm getting it catered Mrs. Lightwood"

"What?"

"Oh yeah babe i already made the call, i wanted to suprise you. I ordered your favorite Duck with Spinach Salad with Guacamole" That's not my favorite it' hers.

"I thought this is your favorite Jace?" I cleared my throat and took a sip of water.

"It is mom"

"Correction Was your favorite honey"

"No i can't stand Duck Aline or any of that. It's your favorite not mine"

"Whatever it's already ordered" she sat back with her arms crossed over her chest.

"I'll make some of this too ok Jace?"

"Ok thanks mom" she gave me a smile

Aline went to bed i could tell she was mad. When Alne's mad she'll stay mad until you give her what she wants. I helped mom clear off the table and do the dishes. She washed and i rinsed and dried then put away.

"She seems interesting" I laughed

"Yeah. Mom you can say it"

"Say what?"

"You hate her"

"Well she's no Clary that's for sure"

"Yeah. Speaking of how is Clary?"

"Haven't you talked to her?" I bowed my head in shame.

"Not in about a year"

"Jonathan Christopher Herondale" I feel horrible about it.

"I know mom i know. Is she still at NYU or did she transfer out to an Art School?" She sighed.

"She's still at NYU"

"Why hasn't she transfered?" Mom pulled the plug so the soapy water goes down the drain.

"Because you guys talked about going there for the full four years if you hadn't went to Nashville" I have to find a way to tak to her, convince her to transfer out. I kiss mom on the cheek.

"Goodnight mom" she hugs me like she'll never see me again.

"Goodnight Jace. I love you" she kisses me on the forehead.

"Love you too mom" I take a quick shower, brush my teeth and layed down. I was so tired but i couldn't fall asleep, my thoughts were full of Clary. She made me go after my dreams so why not go after hers? I have to talk to her before i leave, after that thought i fall into a dreamless sleep.

Well there's chapter 2. I hope everyone enjoyes it. Please R&R, it makes my day to see reviews. If you have any ideas please PM me and i'll try to put it in the story somewhere. Thank you.

Love always 'n' forever
