Hey, there is an update here! I hope you like it. BTW in last chapter, I just purple as I random color, I didn't really think it through.
Chapter 7
"Its official. We're throwing a party." Jon said while walking through the backdoor. I was by the pool, sunbathing in peace with Italian music playing in the background or as I like to call it "my studying" i'm supposed to be doing. I needed to work on my tan; it was the summer and I still looked really pale. I don't want to be seen as a person who never goes outside. Especially since I have a pool.
"A party?" I said taking off my sunglasses, looking at him like he was crazy, "don't you ever get tired of parties? All we do is party." I sat up, looking at him. He had made his way towards me and sat in the lounge chair beside me.
"Not like mom and dads parties. A real party. A 'parents out of town' party. Come on! It will be fun."
"Well, I can hardly stop you. But it better be a good one." I sighed before lying back down. I felt a little too revealed in this bikini but I wasn't going to put up with stingy tan lines.
"Oh, it will. The best one yet."
"You say that every time." I shook my head, exasperated.
"Well, this time I mean it. Were going to invite everybody we know. This place is going to look better than pandemonium. I'm talking the 'project X' party." Jon said dreamily. I couldn't help but smile at that.
"Sure, but maybe not so destructive. And not national news worthy. I wouldn't mind a few celebrities though. I'm thinking more Gatsby."
"So you're in?" he was really excited for this, even though it was nothing new. Our parents were out all the time. We didn't throw a party every time though because then our parties wouldn't be legendary. And we might be seen as alcoholics...
"Yeah, I'm in." I said with a smile, his excitement was starting to rub off.
"Great! I'll start the preparations then." he shot up from the chair and started towards the door. I followed him putting on my cover and pulling out my phone.
"For tonight?"
"Absolutely!"
I sat on the couch and went onto twitter. My brother went to the living room ordering staff around and making a few calls for the drinks and dj. The staff started moving around quickly, moving furniture, taking breakables, and adding decorations.
Clary Morgenstern:
Jon and I throwing last minute party at the Morgenstern mansion TONIGHT! Open invite. Throw all other plans out and get here. Expect epic night that will get out of hand ;)
I posted things on all my social media accounts and my phone blew up with people. This was the sort of thing to be expected and I was positive people were actually throwing out their plans for this. People already began calling and asking questions.
"Please tell me you are inviting that blue eyed boy from the yacht. I need to get my hands on him and this is the perfect opportunity."
"Magnus?" I audibly gasped, " are you telling me that you left that party without his number? I'm shocked."
"Yeah, yeah, I know. We totally hit it off! And I can't believe I screwed up so far down the road. Its those blue eyes. "
"Now magnus, you need to get your game together." I joked. "Your acting like an ametuer out there."
"Yeah, I got it. Just make sure he's there."
After a while on facebook, there was already a rising number of people who had RSVP'd. I check to see if Isabelle was one of them; I was not going to call and specifically invite her. I would however call and confirm. And after I saw her name, I called her.
"Hey Clary! how's it going?"
"Great! Your coming to my party tonight right? It's going to be amazing."
"Yeah, of course. I wouldn't miss it. Sounds like the place to be."
"Great! Is your brother going too?"
"Um... Alec?" she hesitated "Oh. I don't know...why do you ask? you're not into him are you?"
"What? No, of course not."
"He's not really the party type... or the girl type for that matter." Izzy replied almost awkwardly.
"Yeah, I kinda figured. Still I think he should come. He looks like he needs to get out more, meet more people. And plus, you guys do not want to miss this, trust me it will be worth it."
"Oh, yeah, I guess I could ask him." as she said this, a flash of memory came back to me. A dance floor with a golden boy.
"Oh, and since we're on the topic, you should invite that other guy."
"Who? Simon?"
Oh, man, I forgot about that guy. She can't invite him, I can't be seen with him again so soon.
"Is he really into partying? He doesn't really seem the type." I tried persuading, "There will be a lot of people here, and it will be an all night thing."
"Well, I could hardly go to a party without him, he's my boyfriend."
"It's not a big deal, you'll be with me. I could introduce you to some others too; I just know you would like them. And you didn't take him to Pandemonium." I felt guilty about this but before she could reject or deny the idea I changed the subject. "Oh, speaking of which, you must invite that guy from pandemonium. The blonde one."
"Jace? I guess I could."
"Great, see you tonight!"
Awesome. A two for one. Not only did I get Magnus' guy, I got the hot one to come too.
Isabelle's POV
I hung up the phone and dropped it in my lap. Maybe Clary was right.
Simon wouldn't be comfortable there. He's never really drank that much and I highly doubt he would stick around till morning. He should be fine. And Clary was right, he didn't want to go to Pandemonium, why would he want to go to this?
I jumped off my bed and went to find Alec and Jace, who were in the living room, as guessed.
"Hey, guys what are you doing later?"
"Um, nothing, just staying here." Alec replied, unsurprisingly.
"I have a date tonight." Jace said.
"Oh, really? That's too bad."
"Is it though? She's pretty smokin. I think it will turn out just fine."
"Well something did just come up and it's supposed to be really great. Clary's throwing a party at her place and it's going to be huge. I guess on facebook, the guest list is already over 100 and people are saying that they throw the best parties ever."
"Ain't that the girl who took you guys to that yacht? The rich one?"
"Yeah" I was surprised that I hadn't already gotten a flat out no from Alec yet. From the look on his face, he was actually considering it. Jace seemed surprised as well as he was looking at him in suspicion.
"Wish I could go, that girl was pretty hot too." jace said nonchalantly, though I suspected he was curious about her. "I'm not the type to just bail on a girl."
I laughed, "oh, i'm sure you're a perfect gentleman. Clary did ask me to invite you two though, so maybe she's into you too." at that Alec looked at me curiously.
"She asked you to invite both of us?"
"Yeah."
"That's weird." Jace said, "she doesn't seem the type to specifically invite people."
"I'll go." Alec stated bluntly, not looking at either of us.
"Really? You're willing to go to a party? You barely even went to Pandemonium with us." Jace was thoroughly confused at this point, as was I.
"Yeah." he replied, it was clear he wasn't going to say anything else on it.
Jace was about to ask something when his phone ringed. He stood up from the couch and walked out of the room, talking presumably with the girl he was going out with.
"Why are you going to the party? I figured that you wouldn't go. Especially if Jace wasn't."
Yeah, well… I should look after you, especially if this party gets out of hand."
"No, really. Why are you going?"
"I just told you. There's no other reason." I stared at him. There was definitely something else but before I could inquire, Jace returned.
"Hmm. The most strangest thing just happened."
"What? The girl bailed?" I asked jokingly.
"Actually, yes. Who could be so crazy to turn me down?" jace asked befuddled. "I guess i'm going too then."
Clary's POV
I looked in the mirror as i tried an outfit for tonight. I'm not sure i wanted to wear a dress or skirt for this. It's not really convenient. Instead i put on some acid wash high-waisted shorts.
I was trying to find the perfect crop top to wear in my closet, discarding one after the other. It had to be sexy and cute without looking like a slut. Right now, i had on a white one that went off the shoulder and laced off mid stomach. Maybe i should wear something with more color and more tight. I pulled the shirt over my head and looked through my closet once again. It was already getting pretty late.
Finally deciding, i pulled on a long sleeve dark green tight crop top that went off both shoulders.
I was happy with that. I pulled on some green heels and went down stairs.
The place was already completely transformed. There were colored lights in places and tables of alcohol and monsters. A beer pong table set up in one room. Looking out the glass back door I could see that Jon was already really prepared and really going for the movie theme. Outside there were beer kegs, pool floats and noodles, a poolside basketball hoop, and even a bouncy castle.
"Do you like it?"
"Yeah, this is going to be awesome." I replied not even looking at Jon who came up beside me. Bouncy castles are fun.
"Great, we're all set. I already locked mom and dad's room but that's the only precaution i'm taking."
"Yeah, i know. No rules." I could see that he was wearing just a casual black v-neck and jeans. It was just about time for people to start showing up with the sun set. Some people like an early start.
When people did start showing up they were excited and ready to drink, arriving by the group.
At nine, Seelie and Kaelie showed up, so I took them to the bar to begin the night. The DJ was blasting techno music outside by the backdoor and colored lights flashed around.
"Oh my god, i can't believe you guys just randomly decided to throw a party! You and Jon are just crazy." Seelie said over the music while swaying. People were everywhere doing the same talking loudly and drinking a lot. I was just starting on my second beer, it was going to be a fun night but no way in hell was I going to be the first one passed out.
"We got the house to ourselves! We just couldn't miss the opportunity!"
"Your so lucky your parents are so chill! They don't even care that you drink."
"Totally." Chill is not the word I would have used. Before more could be said, I felt arms wrap around me.
"Great party." I heard whispered in my ear. I recognized the voice as it wasn't the first time it had whispered in my ear. I turned my head to the side to get a better view and just as I knew I would, I saw dark eyes and hair just behind me.
"Hey, Sebastian, it's been too long."
"Yes it has." he said, slightly swaying to the music behind me. I reached behind me and put my hand in his hair as I teased the corner of my lips to his. I turned around fully to face him and couldn't help smiling seductively at him.
"I'll catch you later." I said turning back to Seelie and Kaelie who still stood nearby, distracted.
"Okay." Kaelie said taking Seelie to the dance floor, paying us no more attention.
"I didn't know you would be coming."
"It was open invitation. I'm sure Jon won't mind."
"I don't mind either. Nice seeing you again."
"Yeah, well, I thought this would be the perfect opportunity for you and I to catch up. I could hardly miss the party of the summer."
"Come on." i said, tired of talking over the loud music grabbing two drinks and handing one to him before dragging him towards a more dark and crowded place of dancing. Now was the time to start having some fun.
I spent the first hour getting drunk with Sebastian but I knew he would seek me out again. I am not spending the entire party with him.
Around midnight is when things started to get really crazy, the dancing turned from easy swaying and jumping to drunkenly making a fool out of yourself dancing. People were still drinking strongly, bongs were brought out, and pills were popped. It seemed like a lot of people brought stuff too. It was such an amazing thing to see. From the backyard, you could see all the people taking up the space. Looking through the large windows through all the floors, you could see people partying hard, even in my living room on the third floor. And with it getting later, the party grew, people stretching out farther and farther into the large backyard.
Currently I was in the bouncy house jumping and laughing with the others there. This was the part of the night that you could really let go because you know nobody is sober enough to remember or criticize about and anything could really go.
There were way too many people inside this bouncy house and I was sure it was going to pop soon, but I laughed it off.
I was jumping to the loud music when I became aware of the familiar blonde jumping in front of me.
"Jace!" I yelled jumping closer.
"Hey! Clary, right?"
"Yeah!" Finally! I found the blonde guy! That mean Izzy was here too, though I hadn't seen her anywhere. We obviously didn't do much talking in the cramped space but I got pretty up close and personal. When it got more cramped I was sure they were trying to make it pop. We all jumped in unison until eventually it gave way making a loud noise and all of us inside falling into a giant tangled pile of limbs trapped inside the remains.
Laughing, I grabbed Jace's hand as we made our way out. I hadn't seen my brother in quite a few hours but I saw him now as he had a hose and was spraying it into the crowd. Cheers went around as they all got wet, including me and Jace.
I went for the beer kegs being drained straight through the pump and me and jace drank and drank.
I was completely wasted by this point and I was sure everyone else was too. After being sure I wasn't going to puke, I ran and jumped straight into the pool with a big splash. There were around five people in the pool and I wasn't aware if I was hitting anybody or not. Surfacing I laughed, that was fun. Remembering that I prepared for this, I pulled the constraining long sleeve top off. Underneath was just a plain strapless white bikini top. I don't remember there ever being a splash but suddenly Jace was there too. I don't really know how but we did start making out in the pool.
Time seemed to fly but every second there seemed to be something new going on somewhere. This was definitely the party we wanted, the 'Project X' mixed with a bit of Gatsby. There were tons of people here and I was pretty positive that we knew around half of them. I don't know how he did it, but sometimes there was even confetti coming from the roof. I saw people dancing as if they were performing on a stage, some doing some crazy stunts.
For one or two songs, I even got to live my dream with that roaring 20's music, in which everyone started doing the Charleston or the Fox Trot. I painted faces with amazing designs for such a drunk person, and maybe even did a little drunken gymnastics.
Around five, I was completely exhausted. The sky was bluing and that was about as "to the break of dawn" as I could get.
I did, however, pull Jace upstairs to my room to finish the night off. We were pretty drunk and I was positive I wouldn't really remember it, but the sex was definitely a highlight of my night.
Sometimes vague, I know but their drunk so... whatevs. Next chapter will be about the morning after. Please review!
