Ok, so I know it has been ages since I updated but I do have real legit reasons as to why. My computer got a really nasty virus and we couldn't get it fixed for months. Finally when we did get it fixed it was like having a brand new computer cause I lost EVERYTHING. Since then I've been trying to get back my music library which to be honest is the most important thing on my computer, and when I have time I've been writing. So here's the deal, because I really wanted to update I didn't get time to completely finish this chapter, so it's going to be in three parts. Now I'm not going to be able to get part three up until the end of the month because I'm performing in a high school play and we're performing for the next two weeks, and if I don't have time to eat dinner with my family then I really won't have time to update. BUT and that's a big but, I've already written Chapter 7 and my amazing friend Laura has written chapter 8, all I have to do is type them up, so once this play is over you should be getting updates regularly and I'll tell you if that changes. Finally, to the person that wrote the really nasty review and said "I had lost my passion for this story" you broke my heart because that couldn't be farther from the truth. Ok, you can read now :D


The Cast

Chapter 6 part 2

Clary POV

"So who's driving? NOT IT!" Of course Jace wouldn't drive, lazy dick. "Well the Torontonians have to drive cause we know where we're going, NOT IT!" Lizzie's out. "Ok I'll volunteer" Yah, go Anni! I would drive, I mean I'm not lazy or anything, I just want to drink tonight; after all I don't want to be irresponsible. "Alec baby, why don't you drive?" I smiled sweetly up at him and batted my eyelashes just to make sure he'd say yes. And of course he did, "Fine, I'll drive" "Thank you puppy" I kissed him on the cheek and ran to the second car.

We were given 2 Honda Pilots, one seats 8 people so 2 were perfect. "So who's going with who?" Mel asked "How about the drivers pick the passengers?" Anni suggested, "Oh, so they can only pick their favourites, I see how it is Anni" I teased sticking my tongue out at her. "Love ya girlie!" I just chuckled at her. "Ok, so I'll go first. I pick Kellan to ride shotgun!" Ha no surprise there. Kellan was fist pumping as he walked toward Anni making everyone laugh. "Well there's a shocker" Kristen whispered under her breath to me. "Ha-ha, yah"

"I pick next! Clary of course" Alec said smiling down at me. "Ok my turn! I pick Mel which means Jace will be riding with us too" Anni called "Well duh Anni" Jace chuckled at her as he and Mel walked over to the car. "Ok, since you picked two people than we get two. You can pick baby" Alec said "Ok, I pick Lizzie and Taylor!" "Ok! But only if we get to listen to Justin Bieber!" Lizzie squealed, making Taylor and Alec groan.

"Ok, so how about we get Rob next" Anni said. "That's fine, just as long as we don't have to listen to Justin Bieber" Rob said a look of disgust on his face as he went to stand next to Mel. Apparently I'm the only one who saw Jace giving him a death glare and purposely drape his arm around Mel. "Of course not" Mel smiled at Rob causing him to smirk and Jace to narrow his eyes even more. "We are going to listen to Glee! Isn't that right Anni?" "You bet it is!" They high fived making Rob and Kellan chuckled as Jace just kept on glaring. How come I'm the only one who is paying any attention to what Jace is doing? I mean not even Melody is looking at him; I defiantly need to talk to her later.

"Umm if you're going to listen to Glee, can I ride with you guys?" "Of course Ashley!" Anni and Mel waved her over and she went to go stand with them. "Ok so Anni's got room for two more people and I've got room for three. Do you guys wanna pick who you're going with or do you want us to?" Alec asked Jackson, Nikki, and Kristen. "Umm, I'll go in Anni's car if that's ok" Kristen said, "Ok so we'll go in the Justin Bieber mobile" Nikki laughed pulling Jackson with her to our car. "So now that that's settled, let's get going! I'm hungry!" Jace said as he jumped into the car. I jumped into the front seat and hooked up Lizzie's ipod to the car speakers. Today was going to be interesting.

Anni's Car

Mel's POV

I climbed into the middle bench of the car, Anni and Kellan were sitting in the front, and she had her hand on the gear shift with his hand on top of hers. They looked so cute! I'm so happy for Anni, she might have only met him yesterday but I can tell she really likes him, she just seems so much happier.

I was sitting in-between Rob and Jace while Kristen and Ashley sat on the third bench. "Ok so, Mel give me your ipod so we can start listening to Glee!" "Here," I handed her my ipod "put Sweet Caroline on" one of my personal Glee favourites, Puck really should have more solos. "Oh I love that song!" Ashley sang from the back. "Just letting you all know singing is completely aloud. It doesn't matter how bad you are" I said as the music started playing.

Anni's POV

I turned my head to back out of the driveway only to notice Rob with his hand on Melody's knee. What the hell was he doing?!?! It looked innocent enough; kinda like it he was just resting it there, but I knew better. I know that he likes her, those kind of things are just obvious to me, but Jace was sitting right there! You'd think Rob would be smart enough not to flirt when Jace is around. Don't get me wrong, I'm most deffinatly on team Rob right now, but you have to have at least a little respect for Jace.

We were almost at the highway now and Sweet Caroline had faded into Can't Fight This Feeling; all the girls were singing whole heartedly completely entertaining the guys, when Kellan gave me a not so obvious poke. I gave him a sideways glance and he mouthed to me "Are you watching Rob? What the fuck?" Shit, so I'm no the only one who noticed.

Mel's POV

Oh my God, I was hyper aware of Rob's hand on my knee, and he wasn't even acknowledging it! I stiffened as my mind was flooded with images from my dream. I needed to get a hold of myself, that dream wasn't even realistic. Rob wasn't anything like that; it was just some stupid fantasy that I dreamt up because I had just met him in person for the first time that day, nothing else. I guess that kinda thing is to be expected, I mean I did have this HUGE crush on him for the longest time, but Rob is just my friend…..A totally hot friend. Ah! No it's not like that, I don't like him. He's JUST MY FRIEND.

I caught Anni staring at his hand in the review mirror, great that's just what I need; can't she just keep her eyes on the road?! Now she's gonna want to talk about this, start asking me if I like him and then get Clary and Lizzie involved. I know my friends, they hate Jace, even though they'd never admit that to my face, but I could tell. They would just love it if Rob and I got together.

I started to panic, what if Jace saw Rob's hand, he'd start something! And to be completely honest, I'd rather have Anni telling Clary and Lizzie about this then Jace causing drama. I thoroughly hated drama; I just don't have the patience for teenage bickering. That kind of shit gives me headaches. I quickly distracted Jace before he could notice. "So Jace, how come you've picked Il Fornello for your favourite spot in Toronto? I mean, I know why Alec loves it, but why you?" I made sure he was making eye contact with me just to be sure he didn't see anything. "I thought it would be obvious, that's were I met you babe on our blind date, remember?" My heart melted. That's right, I remember how Clary was getting all excited because she loved to play matchmaker. You'd never believe it but Clary actually liked Jace when they first met, she thought he was perfect for me. She told him all about me and decided to set us up. She'd never tell me, but I know that she regrets it; I can just tell by the way she speaks to him and looks at him, as if her world would be perfect if it wasn't for him. Just try picturing that look in your heads, it's subtle but makes your skin crawl at the same time. I of course will always be so grateful for her, because even though she hates Jace, she puts up with him for my sake, because she knows how much I love him. "Of course I do, how could I forget?" I leaned into kiss him, and as I did I felt Rob's hand slide off my knee.

When I pulled away from Jace I couldn't help but feel awful for dreaming about Rob. Even if it was just apart of my subconscious and I had no control over it. As silly as it sounds I just felt guilty, maybe I should tell him about the dream. Sure he would totally freak at first, but then he will probably be glad that I was honest with him. And besides, dreams are one thing, but this is reality and in reality I'm with Jace. And that's the way things are going to stay.

But what had just happened? Well clearly that must have been just something out of friendship right? I mean friends are allowed to rest there hands on their friends knees without implying more right? I looked over at Rob, but he was staring out the window. Maybe I should talk to him, not here though with Jace right there, even if it was something out of friendship I knew better then to test Jace's jealousy. But if Rob was just doing that out of friendship why should I have to say anything? I sighed, leaning my head against Jace's shoulder. I was over analysing this, it's defiantly nothing. But maybe I should talk to Clary and see what she thinks, just in case.

Clary's POV

Alec parked the car next to Anni's car, when we arrived at Il Fornello. The car ride had been eventful; we did end up listening to Justin Bieber and by the end of the ride everyone accept Alec and Jackson were singing along. That's including Taylor. We walked into the restaurant and Mel asked for a table, the look on the hostesses face she saw us was so funny I almost died laughing!

Before I could start fallowing the hostess to be seated Anni grabbed my arm. "Can you come to the washroom with me?" The look on her face said that she didn't really need to go, something was up. "Sure. Alec we'll be back, just going to the washroom" he nodded before turning around to go fallow the others.

We quickly walked to the washroom, shutting the door when we go there and making sure we were the only ones in there. Finally I turned to look at Anni "Ok, what's going on?"

"Ok, I have to tell you something, but you can't say anything! Especially not to Mel!" she was moving from side to side trying to contain her excitement, and it was really starting to get annoying. "Ok I promise, now tell me!"

"Ok, so, the other night at the Pandemonium I saw Rob staring at Mel and I could tell that he liked her. So I told him that I could tell, but not to worry cause I wouldn't say anything" Oh my God. "What did he say?" "Nothing, I left to find Kellan before he could say anything." "Oh my God!"

"I know! So right now in the car, Mel was sitting in-between Rob and Jace, and Rob put his hand on Mel's knee, so I was like OMG! And then Kellan noticed, and he was like what the fuck? To me and Mel was like what do I do?! So she turns to Jace, I guess to make sure he didn't see anything, and was like 'so Jace how come Il Fornello is your favourite place to go?' and he said it's cause that's wear he met her, which was admittedly very sweet but I still think he's a douche bag. So anyway, they kissed and this entire time Rob is death glaring Jace, while I'm watching from the re-view mirror and Kellan was watching them to. So Rob took his hand away after that and just started staring out the window until we got here." She took a few deep breaths to calm herself down while I stood there taking everything in. Shit, Jace had every reason to be upset.

"Crap, ok I wasn't going to say anything but me and Alec noticed Rob looking at Mel at the house, and then Jace went up to me and was like 'what the hell is going on with Rob, does he like Mel of something?' he was so pissed. But I told him just to calm down because Mel hadn't said anything to me and I know that she loves Jace, but I wasn't sure if Rob actually liked her or if I was just seeing things." I told her quickly. Crap this is bad, what are we suppose to do? "OMG, Jace noticed?!" I just nodded my head, unable to say anything while trying to work out what we could do.

"Ok, so besides us and Jace, Alec and Kellan noticed something, but we're the only ones who know it's true." Anni said trying to work things out. "Yeah but we don't know exactly what's going on, so I say we talk to Rob about it." "Ok, I like that. Maybe we can help him! Like I dunno about you Clare, but I don't like Jace." "No, I don't like him either, Mel deserves better." I said agreeing with her.

"But wait, what about Mel? I mean she really loves Jace" Anni said. Yeah that would definitely be a problem, I mean I love Mel and I would never want to see her get hurt but, I just feel that if she stays with Jace for much longer she's really gonna regret it. Call me crazy, but I have this feeling in my gut that Jace is gonna hurt her badly, the fact that he was a jerk to almost everyone was beside the point. I just couldn't shake this feeling that I had, it was making me nervous.

"Ok how about this, we won't say anything today. Let's just keep an eye on them, see if anything happens and then we will talk to Rob tomorrow" I really didn't know what else to suggest, I mean there's not much else we can do right now I've still got to talk to Mel. It won't be that hard to tell if she likes him, I've known her for so long it's like I know her better than she knows herself.

"Ok, let's go back I'm starving!" Anni walked out the door and I followed her back to the table. I sat down between Alec and Anni when I noticed something wrong, Rob and Jace were missing. Our table was round so everyone could see each other. Beside Alec were Taylor then Lizzie, Jackson, Kristen and Nikki. Next to Anni were Kellan and Mel, then there were two empty seats in-between Mel and Nikki which must have been for Rob and Jace. I wonder who the idiot was that let them sit next to each other; this was going to be interesting. I turned around in my seat to see if I could spot the missing boys, Anni was doing the same thing. "Clare, they're over there" she pointed toward the bathrooms where Jace and Rob were just stepping out of the door. I watched as both glanced at the empty spot next to Mel, who was currently in deep conversation with Kellan, and before I could blink Rob started walking a-head of Jace so he could make it to the chair first. And he did.

Jace looked like he was going to punch something, or someone namely Rob. But as if that wasn't bad enough, what happened next was worse. "Hey baby- Oh" Mel turned to Rob breaking away from her conversation, and of course assumed it was Jace sitting next to her. To say that she was shocked was an understatement. "I'm right here babe" Jace was standing behind Rob, glaring daggers at him. I couldn't help but sink into my chair, this is very bad.

Mel looked up, completely confused as she furrowed her brow at him. By this time the table was silent, all eyes were on them. Mel began to stutter as she looked awkwardly from one boy to the other. "Sorry, umm…Rob? Do you mind just moving down one?" She starred at him apologetically. "Oh ya, sorry. I didn't realise what I was doing" Rob smirked as if he was trying to laugh off the awkwardness as he moved over.

Jace took his seat and opened his mouth to say something but before he could our waitress stepped in. "Hey everyone, my name is Sophie and I'll be your server today. Would you like to start with some drinks, or is everyone ready to order? Sick costumes by the way" Thank you baby Jesus! I don't know Sophie, but she just became my new best friend!

Lizzie was the first to answer her "Thanks so much, we'd just thought we'd have a bit of fun today. And ya, I think we're all ready to order"

After that, lunch was uneventful. We ordered our food, and talked about random things including where we would go today. No one said anything about what had happened. Then we went sightseeing. We saw the lakeshore boardwalk, the amazing shopping on queen's st., the U of T campus, Dundass square (or as Mel likes to call it, the mini me of Times Square) and of course, the CN Tower.

Being a Torontonian, I've seen all this stuff a million times and therefore was more interested with our little scandal in the making. We were in the CN Tower gift shop when Anni and I cornered Rob next to a shelf of mini towers and a stand of post cards.

"Ok, we really need to talk" Anni decided to dive right in, and Rob just stared back at us with a confused expression on his face "About what?"

"Your little stunt at lunch today, and in the car, it's become obvious that you like Mel" I cut right to the chase; this was going to be interesting. "Oh, that" Rob started rubbing the back of his neck looking more than a little guilty. "Look, Rob, we're not mad at you." Anni was trying not to make him feel bad but it didn't look like it was working, so I cut in. "Ya, we both hate Jace, he's a jerk and neither of us think he deserves Mel"

Rob looked like he could have caught a couple of flies with his mouth if he hadn't decided to speak "Really? I thought you were going to tell me to back off."

"No, no, no, no, no, Rob we are here to help because we are completely on your side. But before we do anything we need to know exactly how you feel, because we're not going to help you if you're gonna get bored after a week of Mel and then find someone new" Anni said, and I nodded my head in agreement.

"Plus even if you did do that we'd chop of your balls and sell them on e-bay to the highest paying fan girl" I smiled sweetly up at him, while he just stared back with a look of horror on his face. I tried not to laugh. "Umm, ok, noted." He nodded looking away from me (hehe, I scared him) before he got a hold of himself.

"Honestly it's kind of hard to tell you how I feel cause I'm not really sure myself. Look, all I know is that Mel is different; she brings out these emotions in me that...I don't know it's just" He stopped as if to clear his head trying to form a proper sentence. "Look, all I know is that I'm falling for her, hard, and maybe that sounds cheesy but it's true. To be quite honest, I wouldn't have it any other way." He finally finished and all I could do was stand there like an idiot with my mouth hanging open.

"OMG! I feel like I'm in an episode of one tree hill! That was very Lucas Scott of you Rob" Oh God, way to ruin a moment Anni.

"Listen Rob, we want you to be with Mel but you need to be more discreet about it. You want to Mel's heart not a black eye from Jace" I was proud of the way I worded that, Anni could tell because she started to giggle. "Ok, so, don't do anything stupid for the rest of the day and we'll talk about this properly tomorrow, sounds good?" Anni and Rob nodded, and we went to go join the others.

It was getting close to 7:00 and everyone was pretty hungry, so we decided to grab something to eat before heading off to this club that Lizzie wanted to go to. Dinner was a lot of fun; with my instructions Alec was purposely talking to Jace and distracting him so Rob and Mel could talk. Everything about these two was adorable, I mean the get ups were bad enough; they matched perfectly, emo boy and scene girl.

So we had finally made it to circa, Lizzie's idea of a "proper club". Mel had always liked Pandemonium better, but to be honest I agreed with Liz on this one. We got in right away and the first thing I heard was "Sexy Bitch" blasting on the speakers. This was going to be so much fun!


I'll try to update sooner than the end of the month, but if I can't you all know why.
