Chapter four
Clary POV
No one was up. I walked up to my room and locked my door behind me. The next morning i woke to my alarm clock. I laid in bed for a few moments before standing and walking to my closet. I pulled out a long sleeve red shirt, black leggings, and my ankle high black boots. I then walked to the bathroom to get ready. I did my make up lightly before walking out and going back to my room to get my bag. I grabbed it and pulled it over one shoulder. I turned around to see My mothers boyfriend. Hodge. He leaned against the door blocking my way out.
"You came home late last night." He said and i pulled my shirt down so it covered my hands.
"Sorry, i was at a friends house studying for a test." I said and he sighed. He pushed himself away from the wall and walked to me.
"No, need to lie." He said and picked up a piece of my hair. He brought it to his face and smelled it.
"Clary." My mom yelled up the stairs. He pulled back and i quickly ran out of my room, and into Jonathan, my brother.
"Hey Clary." He said looking behind me at Hodge as he came out behind me. We watch as he walks down the hall and to the stairs.
"Why was he in your room?" He asked and i shrugg.
"We were talking." I said and walked away. I walked into the kitchen and grabbed my keys off the table. I smiled to my mom before i left the house.
Jace POV
I walked into the lunch room and walked to my table. It's been a long day and it's not over. I sat down at my table with my back on the wall. People were walking in and getting lunch. I pulled out my phone and text my cousin, Alec. He just moved here from Michigan a few days ago. He's supposed to be coming to school along with his sister, Izzy, tomorrow. I was going through my facebook page when someone sat down across from me. I looked up and smiled.
" How's the hands?" I asked and she smiled.
"Fine." She said and i saw that she was wearing a long shirt to cover them up.
"You coming to the Gym tonight?" I asked her.
"Yeah, why?" She asked.
"Do you want to spar?" I asked and she smiled. She opened her mouth to speak When she was pulled from her seat.
"Why are you talking to the loner?" Sebastian asked her.
"Because i can." She said pulling her arm out of his grasp. " And yes." She said looking at me before walking away. Sebastian turned and looked at me.
"What were you talking about?" He asked me. I stood and grabbed my bag from under the table.
"Nothing." I said before i walked away.
Unknown
I walked into the house. It was the same but so different. There were no photos of us. Nothing to show that i lived here. I walked up the steps and to the back of the house. I stopped in front of his room. It looked the same. Full of football and soccer things. Metals and trophies sat on shelves. I backed out of the room and went to the next. It was so different. My things were gone, clothes where stacked neatly on the bed. A man's suit laid on the trunk at the end of the bed. She moved on. I sighed and walked out and to the last room. I opened the door and walked in to my little girls room. The room was painted blue and the walls were covered in art. All had CM in the coroner. I knew i shouldn't be here, that this was wrong and weird but i need to know if they were better off without me. I kicked a bag and it opened. I bent down to fix it when i saw what was in it. I pulled out the boxing gloves and tape. I opened the bag and looked inside. Clothes, water bottle and mouth gared all sat in the bag along with some other things. I smiled and fixed it. Like father Like daughter, i thought as i walked down stairs. I slipped out the back door. I heard a car park and watched as a man walked into the house through the side door. He shut the door behind him. That must be the man Jocelyn is with. I quickly walked away from the house and got into my car. I waited for a moment before driving away.
"I will be back." I said to myself before going to the only place i could go.
Clary POV
I sat on the mat waiting for Jace to show up.
"Sorry to keep you waiting." He said and i smiled. I stood up and we walked to the center of the mat.
"Ready?" He asked and i nodded. We stepped and got watched each other's movements. Getting board of standing around, i attacked first. I hit him in the side, but i left my side open. He landed four shots before i pulled away. I waited into he attacked. I dogged him and kicked him in the back. He grabbed my foot and pulled. I lost balance and fell to the ground.
"I won." He said and i smiled. I snaked my foot around his leg and hooked it around his knee. I pulled him to me and he fell. I jumped up behind him and wrapped my arms around his neck. I Held him as he tried to get out. He stood with me still holding him and fell back onto his back. I let go as i hit the ground hard. I laid there not moving.
"Sorry." He said and helped me up, not knowing what i was about to do. I kicked him and he fell back.
"Sorry." I said and she grabbed my ankle. I yelped as i fell on top of him.
"Sorry." He said and i hit him it the chest. I pushed myself up and stood. I helped him up and sighed.
"I'm hungry, you want to grab some food?" I asked and he nodded. I walked to the changing room to change into clean clothes. I walked out at the same time he did. I followed him to the diner down the street. It was called Taki's. We walked in and sat down in the back. We talked and got food. It was around ten when the door to the diner opened.
"Clary?" I looked up to see my mom. She looked upset.
"Mom, whats wrong?" I asked getting up and walking to her. She grabbed my arm and pulled me out of the diner and to her car.
"Get in." She yelled angry. I got in forgetting all about my things in the diner. She pulled out of the parking lot and started driving home. The drive was silent. When we got home we got out and walked inside. I sat in the living room.
"Care to tell me why you where outside the city with a boy. And why you didn't tell me where you where?" She asked.
"Mom, this is going to take a while, Do you want to sit?"
