Chapter two: the sleepover
Clary's POV
I was so excited it was almost time for everyone to be here and it's been forever since we were all together. I honestly couldn't wait. I was literally jumping up and down when Jace laughed and put his hand on my shoulder. "Calm down a little Clare-Bear you might faint or something." Jace said laughing slightly at me. "What don't act like you aren't excited and besides this is only the third time we have all gotten together this summer and I miss my friends dang it." I said playfully pushing Jace. Jace laughed some more before saying, "I miss them too and I am excited but I'm not jumping up and down and summers almost over then it's back to boring school." "Yeah I guess your right but they should be here in about five minutes you did send church down to get them right?" I said quickly "Ok Clare-Bear take a chill-pill and breathe when you talk and yes I did send church down to wait for them. Now miss jumpy pants let's get down to the living room where we are meeting everybody. Ok?" Jace said with a smile on his face. "Ok." Is all I said as he picked me up off the bed and sat me on the ground. Then he took my hand and dragged me down to the living room. I was so happy right at this moment I had a huge smile on my face as me and Jace sat down in the living room with Izzy, Simon, Alec, Alice, Lilyanna, Max, Taylor, Aylissa, and Emma who were already here. So we were only waiting on eight of the 19 people who were supposed to be here. This included: Will, Shane, Sebastian, Magnus, Percy, Jordan, and Maia. Then we heard a bell ring which meant that someone was here. "Bring them up church!" Jace shouted then we all continued to talk and laugh at each other. Then we all stopped talking when we heard footsteps getting closer. Maia and Jordan came in laughing at what Jordan had said. "Hey guys it's great to see ya'll." I said with a smile then I got up and hugged them as more people walked in. This time it was Shane who walked in and gave everybody hugs, then Sebastian, then Will. We were all waiting for one final guest to arrive. "Leave it to Magnus to be fashionably late." Alec said with a small smile while everybody burst out laughing "What's wrong with being fashionably late?" someone said we all stopped laughing and turned to see Magnus was in the doorway. Then we all started laughing again at the confused look on Magnus's face as he sat on the couch beside Alec. In this moment I was happy as anyone could be.
Jace's POV
I don't think I have laughed so much at once. By the time we were done laughing at Magnus my sides hurt and it looked like everyone else's sides hurt to cause they were all clutching their sides like I was. We all slowly stopped laughing and I wrapped my arm around Clary who was clutching her side still giggling. I had a smile on my face which made me feel even happier. "So are we going to the movies or what?" I asked because I really did want to know. Everyone nodded their heads yes and slowly started getting up and asking what movie. "HEY EVERYONE BE QUIET FOR A SECOND!" Clary shouted then everyone fell silent and looked over at Clary with expectant looks. "I think we should go see Catching Fire what about ya'll?" Clary said with a smile. "I second this!" I said smiling. And then all you heard was agreeing from everyone else. "Ok let's do this! How are we riding there?" I asked once everyone shut up. "I can take five other people in my car." Izzy said "Ok then Maia, Aylissa, Emma, Lilyanna, and Alice can ride with Izzy. Go ahead and go we will meet you there." I said then the six girls got up and left which left: me, Clary, Will, Magnus, Alec, Shane, Percy, Max, Taylor, Simon, and Jordan. "Ok I can take six people in my car so Magnus, Will, Shane, Percy, Simon, and Jordan follow me." Alec said. So the seven of them stood up and left. This left me, Clary, Taylor and Max. "Ok I guess we are riding together then. Let's go." I said with a smile standing up and keeping my arm around Clary. I looked over at Max to see that he and Taylor were holding hands. At that I smiled and looked down at Clary and whispered in her ear to look at them. She looked over there then smiled and leaned up to my ear and whispered, "They are cute together." Then she smiled and kept on walking to my car. Once we were there I opened the door for Clary then looked over and saw Max doing the same for Taylor. Once again I smiled then got in the car. After about fifteen minutes in the car we were in the movie parking lot with the others. Then we walked in and saw that Catching Fire came on in ten minutes. We got our tickets and walked to theater 11 where the movie was being shown. We all got seats up in the top two rows and sat quietly waiting for the movie to start. While we were waiting I put my arm around Clary and she snuggled into me side. I was really happy and content with the fact that I was with Clary and all of my friends on a sleepover/hangout thing with no school to worry about. I smiled then settled down and watched the movie.
2 hours later
Clary's POV
When the movie was over we all went back home and sat in the living room talking. It was about nine when they got home. I was on the couch next to Jace who was smiling and laughing which made me happy. I smiled then snuggled into Jace's side laughing at something Percy had said. Jace wrapped his arm around me and looked down into my eyes. All I did was smile at him which made him laugh and then he continued talking to Percy, Will, Simon, Shane, and Jordan. I looked around the room at all of my friends and my sisters. My eyes were searching for Taylor then I saw that she and Max were in the corner together and they were both laughing like crazy and Tay had her head in Max's lap. I smiled and tapped Jace's arm to show him. "What?" he asked looking down at me. "Look over there at Max and Tay." I said with a smile pointing at them. Jace looked over there and started laughing. Then Jace leaned down and said, "That is so cute." I smiled and nodded my head. We sat there talking and laughing for the next three hours. It was midnight and you could hear the bell strike twelve times. Everyone stopped talking and listened to the bells. "Ok is anyone else tired?" Jace said with a yawn to prove his point. Everyone said yes and asked how we were sleeping. "Ok listen here girls are in the living room and boys are in the den but Magnus you are staying in here with the girls. Ok everyone?" Everyone said ok and the boys (except for Magnus) got up. Then I looked around and saw that Max was raising his hand. "Yes Max." I said wondering why he had a question. "Do I go with the boys or do I go up to my room?" Max said with a curious look. "You can go with the boys Max." I said with a smile. "But I'm a lot younger than all of them." Max said with a sad look. "I'm sure you will be fine Max go on down there and pick where you want to sleep first. HEY OTHER BOYS STAY HERE FOR A SECOND!" I shouted with a smile. All of the boys turned and stared at me. Max then ran out of the room and down the stairs. "Ok boys listen here I want ya'll to include Max in whatever ya'll do cause he fills out of place cause all of ya'll are older than him. Taylor close your ears for a second." I said. Then once Taylor put her hands over her ears I continued with, "So this means don't be talking about sex ok boys?" They all blushed than said ok and ran down stairs but Jace stayed for a second and took my wrist and dragged me out of the living room and up the stairs to his room. "What are you doing Jace?" I said once we were in there. "I needed to talk to you for a second and I didn't want anyone listening." Jace said with a small smile. "Ok what do you need Jace." I said with a curious look. "I was going to say thanks for sticking up for Max like that. And it was funny as hell when you said no talking about sex and all the boys blushed." Jace said with a bright smile "You are welcome and it was funny and Jace I want you to know that you are absolutely amazing." I said with a shy smile. "And why is that?" he asked with a smile pulling me into his arms. "Cause you are the one who suggested we do this and I'm having so much fun and you are probably the best boyfriend in the world and I love you." I said snuggling my face into Jace's chest when I was done. "I love you too Clare-Bear. Now we need to get back so they don't think we are up here sleeping together." Jace said placing a kiss on my forehead. I smiled and then pulled Jace back down stairs and just outside of the living room. I then turned around and was about to say something but Jace crashed his lips into mine and we sat there and kissed for a minute or so. Then he pulled away and smiled then said, "Goodnight Clare-Bear." Then he turned around and walked over to the door and went downstairs. I smiled then walked back into the living room to find all the girls staring at me. Even Magnus was staring at me. "What?" I said blushing slightly. "You know what sweetheart. Why were you and Jace all alone?" Magnus said using the nickname he gave me, which I hated at times. "Jace had to tell me something that he didn't want anyone else to hear then he kissed me goodnight and that's the end of the story." I said blushing even more. "Yeah ok that's all that happened Clary." Lilyanna said with a sarcastic tone. "Actually it is all that happened Lilyanna. Besides how is Percy?" I asked knowing that I won. "Ok are we going to bed or are we going to play a game?" Aylissa asked. "I think we should play truth or dare." Izzy said with a smile. Everyone agreed to play even Magnus agreed "Ok but I think we should ask the boys if they want to come back up here and play." Maia said "Yeah ok I will go ask them." I said with a smile. Then I got up and left to go to the den. I opened the door and walked down the stairs. "Hey guys do ya'll want to come up and play truth or dare with us?" I said. I heard a bunch of yeah and yeses. Then I saw all the boys come running up the stairs and to the living room all smiling like idiots. I laughed then followed them up the stairs and back into the living room.
