I am so glad people enjoyed my last chapter. Yes I know it was short but this one won't be. As promised something explosive will happen that is worth the wait. Also I would like to thank the nicest people ever who messaged me and reviewed my chapters. You inspire me to keep writing. I still doubt myself when it comes to this story since it's my first but you guys only encourage me so thank you so much.

Izzys P.O.V.
(After chewing out Alec for not picking her up or keeping her company while Jace practiced Izzy is in her room picking out an outfit for Saturday)
I finally have a girl friend (AAAAAA) Clary is awesome. We are all going to have the best time ever tomorrow. God how to I dress? I don't want to look like an idiot going over dressed or underdressed. 'Like that's ever possible.' I don't want to mess this up. Clary and Maia are the first girls I have EVER felt comfortable with.
Flipping through all the clothes in my closet I try to find the perfect outfit. They said we would just be hanging out but I know we are going to the mall. How can you have a girl's day without going to the mall? Clary will probably put up a fight since shopping isn't her favorite activity but she needs to dress up her assets. Jon is a huge jock in school and his popularity can transfer to her if she just socialized more.
I'm going to make sure she does, besides I have to help her make her mystery guy jealous. I wonder why she won't tell me who it is. Maybe she doesn't trust me. No, that can't be. I have to prove to her that she can trust me.
I finally pick the perfect outfit for tomorrow. Now all I have to do is get my beauty sleep. I know tomorrow will be amazing.
O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O
Alec walks into his room after dinner and with a huge grin on his face. He just took his dream girl out on a date. He never thought he would feel this way about a girl let alone actually take her out. Alec had been on a few dates before but they weren't with girls. Of course he never told anyone out of fear.
The first time he ever went out on a date with a guy was during 8th grade. They agreed to go to a nearby restaurant and then a local park. Something simple. Alec liked him and had his first kiss that day. He really liked him and wanted more but he was afraid of people finding out. His dad has always been very anti-gay. Alec never wanted his father to hate him so he never said anything.
In his last school Alec was on a date with a guy at the aquarium downtown near the business center. When they stopped for lunch they ran into Robert. His face said everything, even though they played it off as two 'bros' hanging out, Robert knew. Alec broke things off and a few months later they moved. Robert may not be a great husband and father but he is great at maintaining our family image. The moral Christian family with deep rooted values image.
Alec sighed
He didn't like to remember that. He always thought he was gay, but now, Clary changed everything. He doesn't know what he is but he doesn't care as long as Clary is a part of him. He walks to his window and is overjoyed to see his angel in her room. She's on the floor probably doing her homework.
Alec is transfixed with the beautiful girl who a few hours ago was next to him. Her arm brushing against his. Her profile a glance away. The warmth of her laughter every time something funny happened. Her laugh was like twinkling little bells that resonated over the movie. She looked so angelic in the dark room. All he wanted was to hold her closer when he put his arm on her chair. Her hair was so soft to the touch. Alec twirled a lock of her fiery hair during the movie. Thankfully she never noticed. Being so close to her was a dream come true.
Speaking of which, it's time to go to sleep. Otherwise he will watch her all night. That is too creepy for his tastes.
Goodnight Angel.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O
(Saturday Morning)
Clary wakes up to her phone blaring by her ear. She looks at it and its Maia calling her. Its 10:14.
"Shit Shit Shit. I over slept." She throws off the covers and answers her phone. "Hello."
"Clary what the hell. I've been calling for like 20 minutes." –M
"I'm sorry I over slept." -C
"Figured. Look I'm almost there. My mom is dropping me off early. Don't forget to text Izzy the address ok." -M
"Ok let me just get ready. Wait for me in the kitchen if you get here before I'm ready." -C
"Ok I'll be there in like 5. Bye." -M
"Ok bye." –C
She rushes to get ready
(five minutes later)
Maia arrives at her house and Jon lets her in as he heads out. She goes to the kitchen to make them something to eat. Clary just finished throwing on some clothes and heads downstairs to eat with Maia.
While they are eating Clary looks through her phone and replies to Izzys texts. When she sends her the address her phone starts ringing.
"Are you kidding me Clary!" –I
"What's wrong? What did I do?" –C
"Please tell me this isn't your address because I don't believe it." –I
"That's my address. Why? What's wrong with it?" –C
(She hears rustling and then a knock on the door)
(Izzy is standing in front of her.)
"OMG!" –I
"Where did you come from? OMG do you live in the neighborhood?" –C
"Clary! I live next door. We're neighbors!" –I
Both girls squeal with delight and soon Maia joins in. They are jumping in the living room making so much noise.
"How did we never know? I mean I never saw you outside or on our way to school." –C
"I know. How did we not notice for a week?" –I
"We have to make up for lost time. Omg girls, sleepovers." All three girls squeal with delight at the thought of being closer.
The girls finished eating and began to plan their day. Izzy of course brought up the mall idea. Since they are going to spend the day together why not add a trip to the mall. After a long time of convincing Izzy managed to get the girls to agree. Clary said she was going to change into something more appropriate and Maia asked to borrow some clothes. They all went to Clarys room and Izzy said she would help her pick out some clothes.
"You call this a wardrobe? Clary there are barely any decent pieces to work with. Oh we are soo going to help you find better outfits." She smiles at Maia who gives her an approving nod. "It might even help you land that guy of yours"
"Oh no don't start. He is a secret and I'm not telling. So drop it." Clary says sternly to both. Maia grabs a cute jacket and goes to fix her hair. Izzy hands her an outfit and turns so she can change in the closet.
"Do you need to ask your parents for some money or do you have some cash at hand?" –I
(Clary laughs at her friends' question.)
"Izzy I have my own card with no limit. I just don't ever use it." –C
"What! Well that is going to change. Right Maia?" –I
"Yes. I finally have someone to help me get Clary to shop." –M (Izzy and Maia laugh while Clary rolls her eyes)
"So how are we getting to the mall anyways. Jon left and Clarys parents aren't home."
"Oh crap that's right, there's no one here to take us." –C
"Gimmie a sec." –I
Izzy walks out and starts talking on her phone. A few minutes later she comes back in with a smile on her face.
"My brother is home and he said we can borrow his car as long as we are super careful with his baby"
"Perfect." –C
"Yes" –M
"Clary Maia and I will go get the keys while you finish getting ready ok." –I
"Ok, I guess I'll meet you next door. Neighbor." -C
The girls laugh. Maia and Izzy go next door while Clary finishes fixing herself. She decides to add a little black eyeliner for a bolder look. Finally done she goes downstairs to meet up with her friends. Today was going to be great.
O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O
Alec and Jace were downstairs while Izzy made so much noise upstairs. Apparently 'getting ready' means making deafening noise if your outfit doesn't look right.
Jace and Alec were watching some TV show when they heard their sister yell and walk outside. They looked at each other with a puzzled expression trying to figure out what was going on.
"Do you think we should go after her?" –A
"No man she looks mad. I'm not getting in her way. Just let her calm down." –J
"You're right." –A
Moments later Izzy calls Alec and begins to beg him for his car. Izzy never begs but Alec loves his sister and decided to help her and her friends out. He knew how much it meant to Izzy.
"You're going to regret giving her your car." –J
"I'm not giving it to her. And she knows what will happen if she so much as scratches it." –A
"Sure she does." –J
Alec just rolls his eyes. A few minutes later they hear the door open and in walks Izzy with some girl.
"Alec Jace this is my friend Maia. Maia these are my brothers Alec and Jace." –I
"Hey." –J
"Hi. Nice to meet you Maia. Izzy you better take care of my baby." –A
"Yeah yeah yeah I will. Besides we're just going to the mall ok."-I
"Uh hu. It's not the mall I'm worried about." –A
Alec pulls out the keys front his pocket. He is about to hand them to Izzy when. . . .
(There's a knock at the door)
"Oh she's here." –I
"I thought it would just be you two?" –A
"No our friend Clary is coming with us." –I
Clary.
Her name rang through both brothers minds. They looked towards the front door and in walked Clary. Their Clary.
"Clary these are Alec and Jace my brothers." –I
Clary looked horrified, confused and scared. Her eyes kept darting between both guys who started to wonder why she was looking at their brother. She stood there frozen not knowing what to do.
BROTHERS?! No. This can't be possible. The two guys I've been talking about are related to Izzy. And they live next door. Oh god kill me now.
"Clary your friends with my sister?" Alec breaks the tension by speaking first.
"Yeah." That was all she could say. Her word nearly chocked out.
"How do you know Clary Alec?" Jace said to his brother with a hint of frustration in his voice.
"We went out on a date." –A
"You what? You're lying." – Jace said nearly shouting. Disbelief plastered on his face. How could his brother have gone out with her? He's supposed to be gay.
"I'm not lying, we went out yesterday. And why are you getting so mad over it?" Alec asked getting to his feet. Anger radiating throughout his body.
"We went out Thursday! So why would she go out with you when she can be with me!" –Jace gets up and steps closer to his brother. Clenching his fists out of instinct.
"Now you're the one who's lying. Why would she want to date a guy who has been with more girls than Hugh Heffner." Alec clenched his fists glaring at his brother.
The three girls were watching in horror at the scene that was unfolding. Izzy couldn't believe Clary had lied about the guy. A guy who was actually two and both were her brothers. She decided to intervene before things got worse.
"Clary you dated my brothers? Both? They were the 'guy' you talked about? Did you know we were related?" –I
"I. . ." –C
"CLARY" –I
"No. I didn't know. I just didn't want to say anything until I knew. That's what I wanted to talk about. I didn't know they were related or that we lived next door. Had I known I wouldn't have dated them. Especially knowing they were your brothers. Izzy I'm so sorry. I should go." Clary turns to leave but Izzy grabs her hand and stops her.
"I believe you. But you're right we should leave." Izzy walks to Alec and yanks the keys out of his hand. "Let's go we need to talk."
Maia walks out with both girls leaving the two boys in the house too stunned to react. They get in Alecs car and high tail it out of there. No one says a word during the entire ride. Clary is grateful for the silence she needs the time to think of what to do.
Meanwhile back at the house Alec and Jace are at each other's throats. Yelling at one another without holding back but neither one crosses the line. They eventually go to their rooms after they couldn't yell anymore. Both have no idea of what to do next.
O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O
Alecs P.O.V.
She dated HIM!? Why did it have to be him of all people? Why couldn't it have been some other asshole? I'm going to lose my angel before I ever got the chance to make her mine. How could Jace do this? Why couldn't he just be happy with sucking Kaelies face again? I can't compete with Jace. Why does he have to want her? She isn't even the slutty type he's attracted to. Damn it! No! I won't lose her to him. Jace will not win!O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O
Jaces P.O.V.
HIM! She went out with HIM! I fuck up and she dates my brother. What the hell. I thought he was gay. I've seen him looking at guys. Omg, he is gay, he is just taking Clary away from me to hurt me. There's no way she would ever be interested in him. How did he ever even manage to ask her out? Why would he ask her out? Damn it I thought he was gay! The only good thing is that now I know she lives next door. She can try and avoid me during class but there is no way she can avoid me here. Izzy will give me all the info I need. Well after some begging, ugh I'm reduced to begging.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O
The girls make it to the mall and walk in to one of the sitting areas. No one says a word. They all just take a moment to take in all that has happened in the past hour. Finally after a few deep breaths Izzy speaks up.
"Ok Clary, spill it."
Hope you guys enjoyed this chapter. I know many of you have been waiting for it. If you did like it don't hesitate to tell me. Message me, review, follow and favorite.
That's it. Yes yes I know I'm being evil.
I get it. But this is me teasing you guys a little more. Hopefully for those of you still in school this chapter will distract you a little. I hope you all like the confrontation between everyone. I waited so long to write it. Next chapter will be about Clary spilling her guts about what has been going on to Maia and Izzy.
