CPOV-
It had been two months since me and Jace have officially been dating and I couldn't be happier. We have been taking in slow due to the fact this was my only relationship I have had and Jace was being a real charmer. He didn't like me calling him charming saying he was no prince but all his flaws made him more perfect. We still haven't talked about the box I found under the bathroom tiles which is really worrying me but I don't want to ruin the Christmas spirit. It was Christmas tomorrow and I wanted to get into the spirit but I just couldn't because of so many things. I was so stressed because of worrying over jace and I got a new job at a little café because I refused to sponge money of Maryse and Robert that was not going to happen. They both looked shocked and said that none of their children biological or adopted have ever got a job and said they were proud of me.
Proud I had actually made someone proud and I haven't got a slap or a kick for it. I was super happy at the lightwoods house I nearly slipped up the other day nearly calling Maryse mum and she looked chocked and said if I wanted to call her mum I could because she was more than happy to be the mother I deserve. I think now I can even say I trust this family with my everything. I was walking up the stairs to Jaces room because I can't wait any longer I need to know he is ok because even though he smiles with me they are not full happy smiles and it kills me. I knock on the door and wait for a response. The door swings open with my price standing there is a dark T-shirt and black jeans hanging loosely on his hips. Just the sight of him was mouth-watering but I needed to get my mind in focus.
'Hey Angel what do I own the pleasure' he winks and moves away from the door to let me in. the room smells intoxicating like Jace almost like sunshine and aftershave. I felt so peaceful. I smirked at him and jumped on his bed and felt how comfy it was. 'Mmmmmmm your beds so comfy' I turn to Jace to see him frozen and I sit up confused when he comes and sits next to me breathing hard and says 'Please don't moan in my bed I can't handle it' I start to giggle at him such a teenage boy. I remember what I need to say and feel a weight on my shoulders. He turned to me and lifts my chin so I look into his eyes and says 'Angel whats the matter I haven't seen you this sad in a long time' I suck in a breath and said 'Have you always been honest with me?' I see the confusion on his face. 'Well there are some things I haven't told you but they aren't really important'. I nod my head feeling more sadness rest on my shoulders.
'They say you found me in the bathroom a few months ago I was really upset and shaken but it wasn't because of the fact I had to go to school I found something out and I wanted to tell you so badly but I thought you hated me and would have gone mental at me when it was a pure mistake and I have a feeling curiosity is going to kill the cat and….' Jace grabbed my hands and shook his head in confusion. 'Wait wait Clary you are babbling and ranting I'm not following where you going with this?' I sighed and took his hand and lead him to the bathroom. 'This is what I'm on about' he smirked and said 'If you want you wanted me to take my clothes of you should have just asked' I huffed in frustration and was getting angry he didn't have a clue. 'Jaces it's not funny it's serious and you don't have a clue' he looked and my and shrugged his shoulders. 'I know about it'. I turned to look at him his handsome face scrunched with confusion. 'About what I have nothing to hide'. 'Really?' he nodded and I took a breath and went to the middle of the bathroom and kicked the carpet out of the way and saw the terror wash over Jaces face. 'We need to talk' I said.

I felt every nerve in my body go numb as fear washed over me like a big cold salty wave. She had found the box. The pictures weren't the issue has she found the blades?. I stood frozen watching he pull a pin from her hair setting all her flaming curls cascading down her back I just wanted to run my hands in her hair but with the situation I couldn't. She picked the tile from its place and pulled the Herondale box from the space it was living in and sat crossed legged on the floor. Finally I walked over to her and sat in front of her my eyes firmly on hers. She opened the box and pulled the flap back revelling four blades three used one new. One single tear slid down her perfect proclaim face and she looked into my eyes looking so broken and whispered 'why'. I couldn't form any words but then she took my arm and pulled my sleeves up to revel old white lines criss crossing over my arms. She gentle traced over the little lines.
She looked mesmerised by then and brought them to her lips and place a soft gentle kiss to my arm and said 'I'm not sure of all the reasons you have been doing this but I understand life can get tough' she hiccupped 'but I'm always her and if you ever feel sad or have the blade just hovering on your skin come to me you're not alone we are in this together and I care about you and will support you with everything. If you need a shoulder to cry on or have started to hurt yourself I will help you to heal and will use all my strength to keep you strong because I love you' I was shocked she actually said the L word the word she told me she hated and didn't mean anything to her to say and she said it to me. Tears started to sting my eyes and I couldn't believe she so understanding and I was crying in front of a girl. 'Clary your word mean so much to me and I love you so much even if there is a life after this I will love you because your worthy of an eternity of love .care and devotion and I plan to give you just that. I pulled her up and place's a tender gentle kiss on her lips and was so happy. 'Will you stay with me tonight its Christmas eve and I just want to hold you in my arms and wake up knowing you're not a dream' she smiled and pulled me to my room. She pulled her jeans and T-shirt of and pulled one of mine over her head and got into the bed. I put my PJ buttons on and crawled into bed and pulled her into my arms. 'I love you Clary' I kissed her forehead and she kissed my cheek. 'I love you Jace'.
-Christmas eve!-

It was Christmas day and I had all my family and my new baby sister to celebrate it with. I run out of my room and swing Clarys door open to find her bed empty. She must be in the bathroom I run to Jaces room and I mean I know a 19 year old running around like a kid but come on its Christmas day. I swing the door open and feel anger bubble up inside. Jace promised he would sleep with her while she was so young and scared and he did just that. 'WHAT THE HELL!' they both jolted up and shot out of bed Jace in nothing jut PJ bottoms and Clary in his shirt. Clary ran over to me and said 'John listen we just slept as in sleep no funny business I promise' I could tell she was telling the truth but it still bugged me I suppose it all the new protectiveness I fell for Clary. 'I swear' I point to Jace 'If you don't keep it in your pants I will castrate you' Jace nods looks scared which makes me laugh and I walk down stairs and get the mail. Me, Parents, Parents, Jace, Parents, Me, Parents, Clarrisa? That's strange. I put the letter on the kitchen table for Clary when she comes down.
I was really happy to see all the house looking Christmassy and it was snowing outside and amazing. And I had all my family. I walked into the living room to find the big tree glittering and Max sitting next to it. 'Merry Christmas. Max' he looked at me and ran and hugged me and said 'Merry Christmas John' I smiled and placed his back on the floor his glasses crocked on his face with his big ten year old smile beaming. Mum, Dad, Izzy and Alec where siting in the living room and said Merry Christmas we were just waiting for clary and Jace.

Me and Jace made our way down the stairs and wished everyone a merry Christmas and I felt so happy I felt part of a family. We all sat in a circle and eat open a present I had got John a dog tag inscribed best big bro and a number place saying big bro and he got all chocked up and hugged me really tightly. I got Max a box of comic books that he squealed about and I got Alec some books he wanted and in one of the books was a buy he is crushing on Magnus banes number which he blushed at and hugged me. I got Izzy a pair of classic 6 inch black Christian Louboutin heels which she screams at and hugged me and said I was the best sister ever. I got Maryse and Robert a picture frame that had a tree on it and a picture of them in the middle and on each branch a picture of Me, Jace, John, Izzy, Alec and Max saying either son or daughter and I wrote on the back to mum and dad thank you for you love I feel like a real daughter with living parent love Clary.
They rushed out of their seats and engulfed me in a be embrace and were crying and I was to and they pasted me a folder and I opened it and it was a birth certificate passport and documents saying they had adopted me and that my name was Clarrisa Adele Lightwood. I was so happy I kept crying and I could see it was painful for Jace because he couldn't kiss or hug me because Maryse and Robert didn't know yet. Well at least if me and Jace got married we won't have to change out name. Wait wow marriage bit too fast thinking. I give Jace his present and it's a platinum chair with a ring on it that is shaped like a small gold crown and he was beaming at me. To anyone else it seemed normal but there was an inception inside the crow saying my no so prince charming. He got up and hugged me and whispered 'I love you' I nodded and we sat back down. Jace gave me a necklace as well but with two angel wings on one Black and one white and I knew it meant I was an unperfected Angel and I loved it.
'I'm just going to get a Glass of water' I smiled and Jace said the same and we went into the kitchen and we locked in a passionate embrace lips locked onto each other and his tongue was mapping ever inch of my mouth and it shivered with pleasure. We broke apart and I said 'Thank you so much' and he gave me another gentle kiss and I noticed a witch envelope on the counter with my name on it. 'Whats that it had my name on it?' I pulled away from Jace and opened the letter. 'What the?'
