I hope you enjoy reading this story as much as I enjoy writing it! Thank you to everyone who reviewed. Makes my day to see them! Oh and I am graduating from high school today! YAY!
It was weird to think that I had a boyfriend. I hadn't had one of those since 8th grade, and that lasted a week... and it was Simon.
Jace and I had only known each other a week, and we are already dating. We had also already said "I love you"
Everything felt like it was moving so fast, but at the same time it wasn't.
Jace and I connect on a totally different level, and every time I see him I am reassured about how I feel.
When our date was over and Jace dropped me off at my house. All I wanted to do was go to sleep, but when I walked inside my house I found my brother sitting in the living room watching TV.
"Jon?!" I said extremely confused to see him home. "Hey Clary!" Jon said while pulling into a hug.
Seeing my brother always made me happy, and I thought I couldn't be happier than I already was.
"Jon, Holy shit! Your home!" I said while still hugging my brother. "Yeah! My therapist said I could finally go home!"
"I'm so happy to see you!" I said pulling out of the hug. "I'm happy to see you too!" Jon said sitting back on the couch.
"How have you been" Jon asked picking something on Netflix for both of us to watch.
"I have been.. Well really good." I said shyly while walking into the kitchen to get a drink.
"Clary! What are not telling me!" Jon said trying to drag the answer out of me.
"I.. maybe have a.. Boyfriend" I said running back to the couch with my drink.
"Clarissa Adele Fairchild! You have a BOYFRIEND!...Wait! Just please don't tell me it is Sebastian!"
"ARE YOU INSANE.. Of course it isn't Seb.. that is the single most hilarious thing I have ever heard" I said while laughing hysterically.
"Well then who is it?" Jon asked looking relieved to hear that it was not Sebastian.
Once I was able to stop laughing I told him "Jace, you know the new guy at school"
Jon just looked at me with an enormous amount of shock on his face.
"What? You don't think I can get a guy like Jace to like me?" I asked jokingly
"No.. Clary that's.. That's not it at all" Jon said quietly
"Then what is it!" I said getting impatient with this bullshit that Jon was giving me.
"It's that he probably thinks I'm… that I'm not a good person to be around." Jon said with his head down.
"Jon… I.. Jon he doesn't think that. I promise." I said now worried that it was wrong of me to tell Jace the truth.
"How could he NOT! I was so horrible to you that day!" Jon said obviously ashamed that someone had seen him like that.
"Jon.. I'm..I didn't know what to do.. So..Jon...Jon please don't hate me." I said with tears in my eyes. "Clary, did you.. Did you tell him" Jon asked and I was unable to read his facial expression because of the tears coming out of my eyes.
"Jon.. I am so sorry!" I cried. Jon then went over to me and hugged me. "Clary, it's okay. I understand." Jon said while calming me down.
"Jon, I really am sorry. Jace was about to kick your ass. I had to.. I'm so sor-" before I could say anything else Jon said "Clary! It is fine I promise. I would have done the same thing"
"But Jon I told someone. You aren't mad" I asked still surprised that he wasn't even a hint upset.
"No. I'm just glad you found someone who cares enough to beat up someone for yelling at you." He said with a bright smile on his face.
"Really Johnny" I said with a slight giggle, he always hated when I called him that. "Yes really, Clair" I knew he would say that, because I hated Clair just as much as I hated Clarissa.
Having my brother home was the perfect end to the perfect night, even though I had cried a lot today.
We stayed up most of the night watching Doctor Who and Merlin on Netflix while talking nonstop. We talked about Jace and I and about Jon's recent therapy stay. It felt nice to have my brother back home again.
"I should probably get to bed, Izzy wants to come over and help me get ready for a party" I say before heading upstairs. "Party, you are going to a party?" Jon said mockingly
"Yeah and just for that you can't come!" I say shutting the door to my room. I could hear Jon yell at me through the wall "Oh yeah, try and stop me"
I went to bed with a big smile on my face.
The next day I woke up to Izzy jumping on me
"Iz, what the hell!" I said groggy and angry. "It is time to get ready, have you really been asleep all this time" Izzy said laughing.
"Well I did go to bed at like 5am." I said sitting up and looking at the time and seeing that it was 4:30pm. I checked my phone and saw a text message from Jace that came in at 9am.
Jace- Hey babe, good morning!
I smiled at this and then sent him a text
Me- sorry I missed your text, my brother and I were up all night talking
I then proceeded to tell Izzy about my date with Jace. She was so thrilled to learn that we were actually "together"
"About damn time" she said. "Right!" I said back. Then I heard my phone go off and saw a new text from Jace.
Jace- That's okay sweetness! And is he back already! That's great!
Me- Yeah and he is going to the party so you can finally see him in a better light!
Jace- I'm looking forward to it beautiful!
I smiled brightly at this and let Izzy read the last text from Jace. She thought we were adorable together.
Izzy yet again helped me pick out an outfit for the party, but this time she picked out an emerald dress that hugged me so close that I actually looked like I had boobs with golden flats. The dress matched perfectly with my eyes and I loved it.
"Iz, this is perfect! Thank you so much!" I said hugging her. "No problem hun! Now for the makeup" I then proceeded to groan out loud and Izzy just laughed.
When we were all ready Simon, Jace, Sebastian, Alec, and Magnus came over so we would all carpool together in the Lightwood van.
It was going to be a tight squeeze and I of course would have to be the person in the middle because I was the smallest of the group.
There were so many of us that someone even had to ride in the trunk which everyone decided that it would be Sebastian. Jace sat beside me in the back and Jon took the other side of me.
I was afraid the car ride would be awkward, but it was really funny. Sebastian was constantly complaining and we all had a blast making fun of him.
When we got to the party Jace took my hand and started walking me inside.
Before we got inside something caught my eye. Sebastian's face, he looked angry. He was looking at Jace and I, and he looked really upset.
Like the upset I felt inside when Kaelie would even look in Jace's direction. Then I remembered something Jon said when I first said I had a boyfriend.
"Please don't tell me it's Sebastian"
I was too excited to think twice about what Jon said, but now I was. Why would Jon think I was dating Seb. Seb doesn't even like me...or did he.
Before I could think any further Izzy was handing me a drink that smelled like strawberries. At this point I really could use a drink, so I took it.
The night was going great so far. Or at least I thought it was. I had been dancing with Jace all night long. I was keeping my distance from Seb and Jon, because I was definitely drunk and if I was near either one I would say something I would regret.
Jace was trying to get me to slow down on the drinks, but I was downing them as fast as I could. I wanted to get away from the thought I had earlier today.
"Jaceyyy! Let's dance some more!" I said while practically falling on Jace. "Oh, no drunky. You need to get some water in you. Or some chips" Jace said while dragging me over to the drinks that were non-alcoholic.
"NooOoo. I want to dance with my HOT boyfriend!" I protested "Well yes I am very attractive, but you need to sober up a little." Jace said giving me a water.
I put the water aside and sat Jace on the nearest seat and took a seat on top of him. Jace was a little buzzed and he didn't protest this action.
We started kissing and it was certainly not a light kiss. Before I knew it we were making out harder than ever before.
Jace's lips moved to my neck and then down to my shoulder. I could tell that Jace was holding back because we were under the influence. I was done holding back. I shifted myself so I was straddling Jace's waist, and began kissing him even harder.
"Clary...Clary. We need to slow down.." Jace mumbled in between kisses. I pulled out of the kiss and looked around.
I realized what was going on, and I knew that we were moving VERY fast. I got off of Jace and straightened myself out and tried to walk, but I fell flat on my face.
Someone helped me up, but it wasn't Jace.
"Sebastian. Hello" I stammered. "Clary..Jace" he said sorta rudely. "Sebastian." Jace said as he grabbed me and held me up.
Before I knew what I was saying I blurted out to Seb "Why.. Does Johnny think I would date you?"
"What?" was all he said as he and Jace stood there in shock.
"What are you talking about Clary?" Jace asked me quietly but very intensely. "Johnny.. He said.. He asked me if I was dating Sebastian." I said giggling.
Before Jace would say anything Seb walked off. Jace's grip on me loosened to look at me "You are really drunk you know that right" he said softly with a smile.
"I'm not as think as you drunk I am" I said while giggling into Jace's shirt.
"Okay, you need to get home. Come on we need to find Jon. He is the DD tonight" Jace said looking around for my brother.
"FOUND HIM" I said pointing to the corner where my brother and Sebastian were talking.
Jace's POV
Clary was REALLY drunk, but I couldn't judge because I used to get even more wasted on a weekly basis.
I needed to get her brother to drive her home, but he was talking to Sebastian.
Sebastian, even his name made me cringe. He had been making longing eyes at my girlfriend all night, and I was sick of it.
When I got over to her brother Sebastian took one look at me and Clary and walked away in a huff. Then Clary passed out in my arms.
"Hey, Jon. Clary really needs to get home and I'm buzzed and I can't drive" I said. Jon then came up to Clary to inspect her. She had already passed out and needed to get home.
"Alright just let me get my stuff. Meet me out at the car will ya?" Jon said "Yeah. of course" I said trying to drag Clary out of there.
She kept slipping out of my hand so I gave up with support and picked her up in my arms and carried her out of the party.
In the car ride home I couldn't help myself so I asked Jon about the elephant in the room "Why would you think that Clary was dating Sebastian?"
After I explained what happened at the party Jon finally told me what it meant.
"Sebastian has.. Well he has kinda always liked Clary. And I was afraid that when I was gone that he had asked her out." Jon said while pulling into his driveway.
"Why would you be scared. I mean your best friend and your sister. Must be every guy's dream right?!" I said bitterly.
"I was afraid because I know him.. He doesn't treat girls.. Right" Jon said turning off the car.
"What do you mean" I said while carrying Clary inside and onto her couch.
"Last year he was dating this girl, and they got into a fight one night.. And" Jon was trying to avoid the question, but this was for Clary so he knew I wasn't going to let this go.
"And what!" I said getting angry. "He hit her.. And after that he told me that he liked Clary and I made him promise that he would NEVER pursue her"
"Oh, I'll make DAMN sure of that" I said getting angry at the thought of someone harming my emerald light.
"Thanks man.. You know for looking after and what not. But be warned if you even THINK about hurting her. I will kill you" he said very seriously.
"You will never have to worry about me. I could never hurt her." I said smiling at Clary passed out on the couch.
Jon decided that he wanted to go back to the party. Not to mention he took the Lightwood's van back here. So after we got done talking he left me alone with Clary.
I turned on the TV and sat on the other side of the couch with Clary's legs outstretched on me.
She was so beautiful when she was asleep/passed out.
Clary woke up halfway through me watching the first Avengers movie.
"Wha..what the fuck. I have such a headache." she said
I laughed a little and gave her a glass of water and some pain meds. "You got drunk and passed out at the party babe" I said helping her up into a sitting position.
"Holly hell. I hurt. Everywhere." she said holding her head in her hands.
"You need to get to bed. Come on I'll carry you" I said while lifting her up and carrying her up to her bed.
I put her on her bed and tucked her in. I kissed her forehead and started to leave when Clary whispered something to me "Stay"
And so I did.
