Chapter 10

Hello again my lovelies! Sorry for the delay on this chapter, my laptop (whom I have named Charles) crashed, and it took me awhile to get him fixed, but now he is up and running at full capacity. Yay!

I know that last chapter was short. It's just like I said last chapter, I haven't been feeling to hot. If you answer my chapter question at the end of this chapter I will PM you my snapchat username and I will add you.

Thank you to everyone who has viewed, followed, favorited, and reviewed. Yous all mean the world to me! I hope you like my chapter, enjoy!

PS. My hamster's name is not Pepe (Pep-ay), it is Ciel (C-L). Like Ciel Phantomhive (watch Black Butler (it's on Netflix))

Chapter songs:

Blow Me (One Last Kiss), P!nk

Hallelujah, Panic At The Disco

CLARY

Update. It has been three months since Jace has moved in, and in that time we have gotten way closer to each other. I am also officially eighteen years old! Oh and the Director of the Academy is still not back.

It is Halloween's eve (if that's even a thing), and I honestly can't wait. Even though Jace and I are not a couple we have decided to do a theme together, he will be the Devil and I shall be the beautiful, sexy, dangerous Angel.

Jordan and Maia have been going strong since Isabelle's pool party, I couldn't be any happier for them. Maia is the only one out of all our friends' who has any idea who we all are. We want to tell our friends, but we're scared of what the Circle might do to them if they ever found out about them. We will not put any of our friends' in danger.

Earlier I said that Jace and I have gotten really close. Closer than friends should probably be, we haven't kissed or anything, but there is definitely chemistry here.

Now back to now...

"Jace! Stop it!"

"No can do Angel."

"Jace I c-can't b-breathe."

"Oh shit. Sorry Angel." He finally stops tickling me. He just now figured out that I am extremely ticklish. Just my luck.

"It's fine Goldilocks. No harm done." I throw him a wicked grin because I know that he hates that nickname. I run giggling before he could do anything.

"You better run Angel!" he says through his own laughter.

This is it. This is the life. I have friends, a home, an amazing place that I feel safe. Well, as safe as I can be with the Circle still looking for me. This is the happiest I have ever felt in my entire life and I don't want it to end. If I could change anything about this I would change my "friends" relationship with Jace, I want there to be so much more than that. I have fallen hard for him and I just wish that we could finally do something about it.

DING DONG

The doorbell rings. "It's probably the gang. We have to start decorating for the party tomorrow." I say to Jace, he nods and goes to open the door.

Jace only cracks the door about an inch before Isabelle in all her glory comes storming in, and she looks in a way too good a mood for someone who has to decorate for an entire party.

"I. Have. Arrived!" she shouts dramatically.

"Yeah, we noticed." Jace snorts out.

"Watch it there Jace. Iz can kick your ass." Alec says as he appears through the doors.

"Alec!" I yell happily as I run towards him and give him a huge hug, he returns it just as enthusiastically.

"Hey there Clare. I missed you too." he says into my ear as we are still embraced.

"Hey! No love for the great and powerful Magnus Bane!?" Magnus yells at the sight of Alec and I.

"Of course not Mags." I step away from Alec and walk towards Magnus to give him a hug as well. "I missed you too Magnus."

"Now that's more like it." he says while giving me a bear hug so tight that I can't functionally breath.

Alec and Magnus have been on a trip that involved them to be away for nearly an entire month. (They've been taking online courses to keep up with school work.) I just looove Alec and Clary moments!

I slowly step away from everyone, and that's when I realize that while paying close attention to Alec and Magnus, I didn't realize that Maia and Jordan had stepped into the room as well.

"So who's ready to set up for a party?" Isabelle asks, everyone including myself groans. "Oh don't be like that. It'll be fun!" everyone just groans even louder. "Fine!" she hymphs. "Whoever doesn't help me decorate won't go to the lake house tomorrow after the party." That seemed to get everyone's attention. Everyone was looking forward to going to the lake house on halloween for weeks. Everyone groans once more, but in defeat. "That's more like it." she says with a triumphant smile. There is just no arguing with Isabelle Lightwood, even if you've had crucial combat training.

After hours of gruesome decorating and Isabelle barking orders, everything was set up and everyone was gone. All that was left was me and Jace in our large, empty penthouse.

"I'm going to bed." I say through a yawn. I'm exhausted.

"Same here." Jace replies. That takes me by surprise. Jace usually insists on sleeping in my bed and after refusing his "offer" when I wake up in the morning or the middle of the night he's in my bed. Tonight he must be too tired to insist, so I decide to do something else instead when I see him walking toward his bedroom.

"Aren't you coming?" I ask, he looks confused.

"What?" I roll my eyes at him.

I grab his hand and and walk towards my bedroom while still holding his hand. "Let's go to bed."

After we're in my bedroom Jace takes off all his clothes except his boxers, and I take off all my clothes except for my panties and my t-shirt, leaving my bra lying on the floor in a tornado with his clothes. It wasn't the first time that we've slept like this, and it wasn't a big deal to us.

Jace and I snuggle into the bed together and Jace wraps his arm around my waist while I press my back into his chest, and we cuddle. "Goodnight Jace." I smother through a yawn.

"Goodnight Angel." he responds, but I'm already more than half asleep. Jace said something else, but I must have been too tired to have heard him correctly because it sounded somewhat like, "I love you Angel."

I know that this chapter is short, but I have something awesome planned out for the next two chapters (mainly the one after the next one (chapter 12)), but the next chapter will be the Halloween party and everyone leaving on their way towards the "famous" lake house after sed party.

Until next chapter!

Kisses~~JayJ

Chapter Question: If you could only eat one meal for the rest of your life, what would it be?

ME

I would eat steak because it is my favorite food. (I know, probably not the healthiest choice, so what!

Remember, if you answer the chapter question I'll PM you my snapchat username.
