Hey guys I'm back. I'm going to say now that I might not get to post as quick here in the next three weeks. At school I have exam finals in two weeks and I'm going to have tons of homework. But I will try my best to post a new chapter asap. :) OK anyway here is chapter six.
Jace's POV
"OK, OK calm down the winner is..." I said everyone seemed to lean in closer.
I smiled and then said, "Clarissa Fray. You are the winner please come down here."
She looked shocked. I don't think she thought she would win.
When Clary got down here I smiled then said, "Clary you look shocked you have anything to say?" into the mic.
"Umm yeah... Hey guys Umm I guess it's really cool that I won. I by far didn't think I would... Umm thanks." She said and handed me back my mic.
"OK I have a quick question for you guys. Several people had told me that Clary was one of the best singers here if not the best... Raise your hand if you agree with this please." I said into the mic with a slight smirk.
Almost everyone raised their hands minus about ten of them.
Clary once again looked shocked. I smiled but not a true smile only Clary could get those out of me.
"Anything to say about that Clary?" I asked looking at the small red head.
"Umm first I had no idea that so many of you knew me, much less heard me sing... wait I have a quick question... How many of ya'll have been in my music class between sixth grade and now?" The little red head said.
Almost all of them raised their hands excluding a few.
"That's what I thought well thanks for thinking I'm a good singer." Clary said handing the mic back to me.
"Wait now... Who wants to hear Clary sing a song?" I asked. Everyone erupted into a chorus of cheers.
I gave Clary a small real smile and handed the mic back to her.
"Can any of your friends play a guitar or the keyboard?" I asked her quietly.
She simply nodded her head and leaned over to me.
"Jace the instruments are in the music room will you go get them while I get some friends to come down here please." Clary whispered into my ear.
"Sure. What song do you have in mind?" I asked.
"It's a surprise." She answered with an evilly sweet smile.
"Well then." I thought to myself.
I turned around and walked out of the gym to the music room I saw on my way to and from the auditorium.
The whole time I walked I thought about Clary and how she helped me earlier that night with my nightmare and how she had one of her own. We both had really crappy past. But honestly I think I liked Clary... No wait I mean I think I like like Clary maybe even more than that maybe I'm in love with her. I wonder how she feels.
I ended up in the music room and grabbed a guitar off the shelf I noticed that none of them were in cases except one. I walked over to it and saw it said Clary's name on it.
I smiled and continued over to the other shelf that had a keyboard on it. I grabbed that as well and walked back toward the gym the red head on my mind the whole time.
Clary's POV
I was surprised when Jace called out my name but now I know why. Pretty much everyone in this school has heard me sing at one point or another and I guess they all agree that I'm by far the best singer in the school.
I simply smiled when Jace asked them if they wanted a song. I knew the perfect song to sing. I walked up the bleachers quickly to my friends.
"Hey Izzy will you play the key board for me please. And Jordan will you play guitar please." I asked with my signature puppy dog face.
"Fine what song?" They ask.
I whispered them my song idea and they both agree we walk down to the gym floor again and Izzy and Jordan talk while I stare into space.
I was thinking about Jace and how he had a nightmare but helped me at the same time. I think I like Jace. But there is no way he feels the same... Or does he? I actually am starting to think that just maybe I was in love with this superstar.
Jace walked back in with a guitar and a key board. He set up the key board for Iz. Then handed the guitar to Jordan. Jace had a far away look I think he was lost in his thoughts like I was a second ago.
"Hey you ok Clary?" He asked as he slowly came back into focus.
"Yeah. I'm good will you get them quiet please." I asked covering my ears slightly.
Jace nodded and laughed then took my mic to get everyone to shut up.
"Hey everyone will you please be quiet so Clary can sing the song you wanted to hear?" Jace asked with a smirk in place.
Everyone slowly quieted down and Jace walked back to me handing me my mic. He leaned over and whispered, "Good luck." In my ear giving me a small glimpse of his true smile and a wink.
"Thanks." I mumble as he walks to the side of the gym to watch.
Izzy and Jordan started playing on my command. Then as I listened for the right note I started to sing. (A/N: Really quick this song is Fearless by Olivia Holt. :) Really good song :) ~M)
You used to make my heart pound, just the thought of you
You used to be a cold wind, always blowing through
But I won't take it anymore, that's not what I came here for
I'm stuck in your head, I'm back from the dead
Got you running scared, I'm fearless
I'm callin' you out, I'm taking you down
Don't you come around, I'm fearless
Whoa, whoa
I've got the upper hand now, and you're losing ground
You never had to fight back, never lost around
You see the gloves are coming off, tell me when you've had enough
Yeah
Ready for a showdown, and we're face to face
I think I'll rearrange it, put you in your place
You don't get the best of me, check it, you're afraid of me
I'm stuck in your head, I'm back, back from the dead
Got you running scared, I'm fearless
I'm callin' you out, I'm taking you down
Don't you come around, I'm fearless, I'm fearless, I'm fearless
You used to make my heart pound, just the thought of you
But now you're in the background, whatcha gonna do?
Sound off if you hear this, we're feeling fearless, we're feeling fearless
I'm stuck in your head, I'm back, back from the dead
Got you running scared, I'm fearless
I'm callin' you out, I'm taking you down
Don't you come around, I'm fearless
I'm stuck in your head, I'm back from the dead
Got you running scared, I'm fearless
I'm callin' you out, I'm taking you down
Don't you come around, I'm fearless
I'm stuck in your head, I'm back, back from the dead
Got you running scared, I'm fearless
I'm callin' you out, I'm taking you down
Don't you come around, I'm fearless
When I finished everyone stood up and started cheering. That was the first time I had ever performed for a huge crowd like this. I smiled, my heart beat had to be a million beats per second but not from fear from the thrill of that.
I motioned for everyone to quiet down and said, "Thanks that was amazing guys. I guess I need to go and get started writing with Jace. See ya'll later." With a final smile I handed Iz the mic and walked over to Jace and Johnathan who were both smiling and together we walked outside.
"Clary you were absolutely amazing out there. I have a quick question were you nervous at all?" Jace asked once we were in the limo.
"No not really. Well maybe a little at first but only the first few seconds." I answered honestly.
"How did you do it with out being nervous or terrified? Didn't all the people staring at you bother you?" Jace asked looking shocked.
"I don't really know why I didn't get that scared but I didn't." I answered looking down. Although when I think about it I know exactly why I wasn't nervous. It was cause I was thinking about Jace. I didn't know why but that chased my fears away.
Jace's POV
I was amazed by this girl. I didn't think she would so willingly went up there and sang in front of 700+ kids and then said she wasn't nervous.
"By the angel how the hell did she do that? I was absolutely terrified the first time I performed in front of a group that small." I thought to myself.
I asked her but she said she didn't know. I was happy that she really was the best singer cause now we can bond some more.
I couldn't believe the girl who had a horrible past that hasn't truly ended and had a nightmare just last night is the same girl who just went out there and sang.
I smiled a bit at that fact.
"So Clary do you have any ideas for a song?" I asked
"Umm well I have a couple of song ideas in my sketch pad. Which is at the house so I will show you them there." Clary told me.
I nodded my head and looked out the window. I saw we were already almost to the house.
"Clary we are here." I said after a minute or two.
"OK lets go the book is in my room. You can come in." She said walking inside and up to the third flight. I looked over at John and he just nodded his head.
I smiled at him and followed Clary upstairs. I think John might be able to tell that I like her but I'm not going to ask if he does know.
Clary's POV
I walked into the house with Jace and John behind me. I told Jace he could come up to my room and then walked upstairs.
I didn't wait to see if Jace was following or not. I walked all the way up to my room and got to the door. I always kept my room locked if I wasn't in there. The only other key is inside the wall behind a picture frame next to the door. Only Izzy, Mayrse and myself know about it.
I bent down uniting the key I tied my shoelace around. I heard a laugh behind me. I turned around and saw Jace.
"What?" I asked finally getting the key untied and unlocking my door.
"You lock your door when you leave? Why?" Jace asked smiling slightly.
"Cause I don't want Alec or Max or Magnus or any of my other friends in my room when I'm not in there. The only people who know where the extra key is is Izzy, Mayrse and myself. So yeah." I said smiling myself.
"Well ok then I see your point. Good idea with the whole key in the shoelace thing." Jace said following me into my room.
"You can sit on the bed." I said pointing to it. He nodded and sat down.
I walked to my bag and dug in there until I found my sketch pad.
"OK here are the ideas." I said flipping to the other half of the book where all my song ideas were. Then I handed it to him.
After a couple of minutes of Jace reading my songs he says, "I like the one about the love at first sight thing." Jace said smiling.
I smiled, I was hoping he would pick that song. "Yeah so do you want to use that one?" I asked taking a seat beside him.
"Yeah but I have a couple of things I want to add to it." Jace said.
So together we worked on the song for about 30 minutes. We had the main parts of the song done already so we decided a break was needed.
"SO what do you want to do for the rest of the day? I have an idea but you first." Jace asked laying back onto the bed.
I also fell back and looked over at him. "Wait holy crap Jace is in my room laying on my bed with me next to him!" I though to myself.
"Umm I don't know or really care as long as its not boring. What's your idea?" I asked him smiling slightly.
"Well you will just have to see. Does Izzy or Alec have a car that is here?" Jace asked. I had left my bike at school.
"Yeah Alec's car is in the garage and I'm the only one who knows where the keys are and has permission to drive it so said Alec at least." I said getting up and putting my shoes back on. I had taken them off when we started on the song.
"OK so can I be an acceptation to this rule seeing that this is going to be a surprise plan and I need to drive?" Jace said also putting his shoes back on.
"Yeah I won't tell anyone and I doubt Alec will notice. Cause I mean he is at Magnus's house almost all the time." I had said the last part in a whisper but Jace heard me and gave me a questioning look.
"Umm who is Magnus Clary?" Jace asked.
"Magnus is Alec's boyfriend. Yes he is gay." I say
"Really? Well ok then." Jace said.
"Yeah well I have known for four years now. Since seventh grade. Don't judge him he has had it harder than anyone. He didn't actually come out to his parents and Max and Iz until two years ago. I only know cause he had a nightmare about telling his parents and them kicking him out and I found him thrashing around so he decided to go ahead and tell me about it and his nightmare. So yeah." I said standing up for Alec.
"Hey ok I wasn't judging him in the first place. Actually I think it's cool that he doesn't care what other people think anymore and just came out and said it." Jace said blushing slightly.
"Wait you aren't gay are you?" I said
"What no no no defiantly not. I was just saying that its cool he came out even if it took him forever." Jace said giving me a true smile this time.
"OK good just making sure." I said smiling right back.
"So you ready to go?" He asked getting up and offering me his hand.
"Yeah." I said accepting the help up.
When I touched his hand I felt an electric shock go through me. He must have felt it to considering the look on his face.
I smiled slightly then pulled Jace by the arm down to the garage.
I let go of Jace's arm and walked over to the picture frame by the garage door. I slid it to the side and grabbed Alec's keys from behind it.
I looked over to Jace who looked curious. I motioned for him to come over here.
"How does that work?" Jace asked.
"I'm not sure but it does." I answered sliding the frame back in place tossing Jace the keys.
He caught them effortlessly. "Which ones Alec's?" Jace asked walking into the garage.
"It's the royal blue jeep." I said pointing to the jeep in the corner.
We got in the car and started off.
"OK we are almost there. Put this on Clary." Jace said at a stop light handing me a blindfold.
"Why?" I whined.
"This is supposed to be a surprise." He answered.
I took the blindfold and put it on. Five minutes later Jace stopped the jeep and I heard my door open.
"OK I have opened your door. I'm going to take your hand and help you out. OK?" Jace asked me.
I nodded my head and Jace took my hand. I felt the electric shock go through my hand again. I started to fall when my foot missed the step. I felt strong arms catch me and hold me for a second before they let me down.
Then I relished it was Jace who caught me.
He put his hands on my shoulders and led me over to the entrance of where ever we were.
When we stopped he said, "OK on the count of three I'm going to take your blindfold off." I nodded my head and listened to him count.
"One, Two, Three." He said taking the blindfold off. When I saw where we were. I gasped with excitement and because I was absolutely terrified.
All of a sudden I felt extremely dizzy.
"Jace I'm dizzy can we sit dow..." I started saying before I had to lean into Jace to keep myself from passing out. Then everything went black.
And that my friends is chapter six. I know I know what happened to Clary? Well I guess you will have to wait and see. I know I promised Clace in this one but It wasn't the way it worked out. But It should be true Clace in maybe the next chapter. Sorry this one took forever at school we are getting ready for EOC's next week and final exams the next week. Plus I have had hw in almost every one of my clases. So again sorry. :) I will post as soon as I can. Please review.
