Hello, my lovely readers. I hope you had a happy Easter, I sure didn't.
I'm STILL reading Pride& Prejudice, and I'm STILL confused. I'm going to have to read it again, if I ever finish it the first time. I'm starting to think that I should have gotten the version with all the footnotes and everything. Oh well.
So I hope you enjoy this update, because I sure enjoyed writting it.
Anyways, I own nothing, all rights reserved for Cassandra Clare.
Enjoy!
Jace's POV
"Jace, I need you to run to the store for me." Mayrse yelled from downstairs.
"Why can't Isabelle or Alec do it?" I ask.
"They're both out on dates."
"Alright let me put on some shoes." I grabbed my black Nikes and some socks before slipping them in my feet and running downstairs.
"Here's the list and some money."
"Alright I'll see you when I get back." I grabbed my keys off the hook and got into Alec's black dodge charger. I mean is he really going to need it if he's on a date? I opened the garage door before slowly backing down the driveway and taking off to the store. Ten minutes later I was walking through the door at the store and grabbing a cart. I read the first few items on the list and walked over to produce. I grabbed the items and went over to the meat section. Once there I was frozen in my spot. Standing there was Jocelyn Morgenstern.
"Jace? Is that you?" She questioned.
"Um, hey Mrs. Morgenstern."
"On no sweetie, it's just Fairchild now. Valentine and I divorced a few months ago."
"Oh. So, uh, is Clary here?"
"No, she's still in California with her dad and brother."
"Oh, well I better let you go, but it was nice seeing you again Ms. Fairchild."
"You too Jace, you too." She smiled sadly at me and gave me a hug. A minute or two later she let go, waved and walked toward check out. I quickly finished my shopping and went home.
"Mom, I'm home." I shouted from the door.
"Oh, do you need some help dear?"
"Oh, no, I was hoping you were just going to stand there and watch." I stated sarcastically. That earned me a smack on the back of the head. We finished bringing in and putting the groceries away when someone knocked on the door.
"Oh, honey will you get that for me? It's probably Jocelyn."
"Sure." I opened the door to a happy looking Jocelyn.
"Hey Jace. Your mom invited me over for dinner tonight."
"Hey Ms. Fairchild." I replied. "Come on in, mom's in the kitchen if you want to talk to her."
"Thanks." I nodded and walked back up to my room. I flopped down on my bed thinking about Clary. God I missed her so much.
Clary's POV
"Clarryy, answer your damn phone." Lilly shouted from the other room. I rolled over and answered it.
"Hello?"
"Hey sweetie, you won't believe who I ran into last week." My mom exclaimed.
"Who?"
"Jace! I bumped into him in the store, and then I found their number in the phone book and called Mayrse. She invited me over to dinner, and I got to see all the Lightwood siblings again. They look so much more mature."
"Y-you saw Jace?"
"Yes and the other Lightwoods."
"I've missed them so much." I whisper with tears forming in my eyes.
"I know you have sweetheart, but remember you leave for New York in less than two weeks."
"Yea and I can't wait to see him again." I began. "Oh, and the others of course."
"Alright, well Mayrse and I are going shopping for furniture today, so I've got to go, but I'll call you tomorrow."
"Love you."
"Love you too sweetheart."
She saw Jace and the other lightwoods?
"Jon! Come here!" I heard some stumbling and cursing followed my running. Jon burst into my room with a baseball bat gripped in his hands.
"What happened?"
"Mom saw Jace and the Lightwoods last week."
"She did?"
"Yea. She said they looked really good."
"Did she tell them that we were going to be there in less than two weeks?"
"I don't think so."
"Alright, well get dressed. The girls want to go shopping." I nodded my head and walked to my closet. I picked out a pair of denim short shorts and a loose pink blouse. I grabbed my white lace pantie set and walked into the bathroom. I quickly stripped and hopped in the shower. I quickly washed my hair and shaved. I grabbed one of the towels for my hair and the other for my body. I stepped out and plugged in my straightener and blow dryer. I dried off and got dressed.
I picked up my brush and quickly brushed out my hair before I began drying it. It was a long process since my hair was so long and thick. Thirty minutes later my hair was completely dried and semi straight. I picked up my straightener and began straightening my hair.
Forty-Five minutes later it was straight. Since I knew I was running out of time, I just put on a little mascara and tinted lip balm. I grabbed my phone, wallet, and shoes before running down the stairs.
Sitting at the table were the girls, and sitting in front of the girls were three Starbucks drinks. I quickly grabbed mine and walked out the door with the girls.
We hopped in my cherry red dodge charger and took off to the mall with the music blasting the whole way.
"Okay since this is like our last day we need to get lots of clothes. Like as many as we can fit in this car." Carly says excitedly.
"Yea, that's a great plan Carly." Lilly squeals.
"Alrighty then, let's go."
We practically run into the mall. The first store we go to, of course, is Victoria Secrets. We each buy a bunch of cute bikinis and bra and underwear sets. Next we go to Aeropastale. WE each buy some more cute bikinis and a bunch of other cute clothes and shoes.
Hours later, Lilly starts getting hungry. We stop at the food court with our huge pile of bags and get chick-fil-a. After we finish eating, we make a quick trip to the car to drop of our bags. WE go back and finish shopping on the other half of the mall.
"Alright, I don't think we can fit any more bags in the car." I state tiredly.
"I don't either." Lilly says.
"Yea I think we better call it a day, and go back to the house." We all nod in agreement and walk to the car. We cram the bags in the car and drive back.
When we get to the house the guys are sitting on the front porch drinking beer.
"Jon, don't forget, tomorrow is a full day of driving." I say.
"Yea, I know, I just wanted this one." I turn and look at the girls.
"I'm going to miss you two so much."
"Actually you won't." They say with smiles.
"Huh?"
"We're going to Columbia!"
"Oh my gosh." I squeal and then hurl myself into their arms.
"Yea we are too." Drake and Jacob chime in from behind us. This causes us all to squeal and throw ourselves into their arms.
"You know what this means, right girls?" WE all look at each other. "Road Trip!"
The next morning we all wake up at four in the morning and drive to the nearest McDonalds. We're all still wearing our pajamas, so were basically all wearing sweatpants, tank tops, and t-shirts. At McDonalds, we all order Chicken Biscuits, hash browns, and coffee. We get about nine orders of hash browns and six extra chick biscuits. After we get our food we set off to New York.
It's been roughly sixteen hours since we left California, and we're almost to New York.
"Jon?" I whisper, not wanting to wake the others.
"Yes?"
"I'm nervous."
"About what?"
"What if they're mad at me for not contacting them? I mean what if they hate us?"
"They're not going to."
"How do you know?"
"I just do." I look out the windshield just as we're arriving in New York.
"Oh my gosh!" I squeal. Waking everyone up. "We're here!"
Twenty minutes later we pull up to our old house, which is right next to the Lightwoods. Jon kills the engine, and we sit there staring at our childhood house. Not too long after we kill the engine, mom walks out the front door. I squeal and quickly open my door. I jump into her arms, giving her a tight squeeze.
"I missed you mommy."
"I missed you too sweetheart, but I know someone who really missed you." She slowly turns me towards the Lightwoods where someone that I recognize all too well, even in the dark, is standing with wide eyes.
"Jace…" I whisper before throwing myself into his arms. He tightly wraps his arms around me and burys his face in my neck.
"Clary… "He sighs.
"I missed you so much."
"I missed you too shortcake."
We stand there staring at each other before he slowly covers my lips with his. As soon as his lips touch mine, it's like everything around us disappears.
So... you got a little bit, okay maybe a lot of Jace in this chapter, and little bit of Clace in this chapter. So did you really think that they were going to hate her? I guess we know now how they feel about each other. Hehe.
Love it? Hate it?
