Waking up, never a fun thing. Clary got out of bed and went straight for a shower. Washing her hair. She tried to avoid her shoulder but still tried to wash it. She stepped out of the shower and brushed her hair. She covered her neck with her hair to cover up. She didn't want to know what her father would do if he saw them. She looked it the mirror, her eyes were red and swollen. Her pale skin contrasting it more than anything else.
Clary got dressed jeans and the same shirt. She packed a pair of shorts as well as other things she might need. She picked her phone and sent away a text to jace telling him she was awake. She walked down the halls and The stairs. as she started for the kitchen she heard voices "Well she's upset, wouldn't you be" She paused and listened "no, it was just a date!" Clary heard her brother's voice and she rolled her eyes. "John, if you weren't allowed to see me, would you not be upset" Her brother paused and said "But, we dated for a long time before you met my parents" Clary sighed and she heard aline gasp at him "Exactly, she doesn't get the chance to date, because you watch her like a hawk. she doesn't get to live normally. you know how many times i have comforted her because i could her her crying" Clary sighed and walked in thru the door way.
Her brother opened his mouth but before he could say anything aline saw clary and said "Clary, you're up?" Clary nodded and grabbed her cup and turned on the coffee machine. She sat down on one of the high chairs. Aline glared at her brother and clary watched john ignore it. in the end john sighed and said "What is it?" Aline shook her head and said "you're so thick" John looked at her and then glanced at clary and aline scoffed "oh please she won't save you, I can guarantee she heard us from the stairs as she came down" Clary got up poured herself a big cup of coffee.
She sat back down and her brother looked at her and asked "Did you hear?" Clary nodded and said "I didn't need to hear i knew your opinion" Aline crossed her arms over her chest and john shook his head and said "Babe come on, she knew. It's a know fact" Aline hit him on the arm and said "It's wrong, like i asked would you be mad or upset if you couldn't see me" John nodded and said "of course i would, but don't be like that it's not my fault" Aline shook her head "didn't say it was i was telling you to stop saying she was overreacting about this" John shrugged and said "She is" Clary wiped her eyes and said "im not" he looked at her and his eye softened and aline grabbed him by the hair janking him back and hissed "She needed to cry to get your attention!, that is wrong" John narrowed his eyes and said "I don't agree" Aline scoffed and said "you can call me when you do, until then you may find someone else to screw" She watched appalled as aline turned on her heel and her brother stood there shell shocked.
Aline held her hand out for clary and said "Come on, i'll be with you" Clary took her hand and let her pull her away from the kitchen. They walked up the stairs and aline said "Is jace coming to pick you up" Clary nodded and said "he should be here soon" aline ducked into her brother's room and came out with her bag and left it inside clary's room and said "mind if i stach this here, i think he'll last at least the entire day" Clary grabbed her bag and asked "you sticking around?" aline shrugged and said "you parents like me, I'll just ignore him" Clary nodded and washed her face again and said "I'll be going then"
Aline led her down the stairs and her father stood by the door talking to jace. Clary smiled slightly and said "goodbye father" her father gave her a small hug and noticed aline "are you leaving as well dear" aline shook her head and said "no your son is being difficult and i said that he may find someone else until he changed his ways" Her father looked at her appalled and said "I'll set him straight" Aline shook her head and hooked her arm with him and said "he can suffer for a bit, I'll just be your company" her father nodded and said "my son will not treat you wrongly, you tell me if he does" aline smiled and waved to clary. Clary closed the door and smiled at jace.
Jace put his arm around her shoulders and said "what happened?" clary shook her head and said "Aline just told john that he either changes or he will have to find someone else" jace nodded and said "what did he do" Clary sighed and said "He said i was over reacting and then he made me cry" jace stopped and tilted her chin up. Clary shook her head and said "it's okay" jace opened the passenger door for her and said "makes me mad anyways" clary smiled and said "i'd kiss you but they are watching thru the window" jace laughed and closed the door and glanced up as he stood on his side and waved to her mother in the window.
They made their way across town and he parked at his house and asked "did you shower again?" Clary nodded and said "helps me sleep" jace nodded and said "my parents will be home soon" Clary nodded and jace let the way to his room and set her bag down. Clary turned the light off and turned to jace and he looked at her sadly and said "I shouldn't have left you" Clary shrugged and said "do you have anything you have to do?" Jace shrugged and said "work out?, keep you company" Clary nodded and opened her bag up and pulled out she shirts and undid her jeans and jace smirked and asked "straight to bed?" Clary pulled the shorts on and said "i'll come with you"
Jace smiled and wrapped her up in a hug. Clary relaxed and wrapped her arms around his neck and said "don't leave me alone" jace shook his head and kissed her forehead and said "never" Clary let go of him and said "now change so you can go train" Jace smiled and kissed her cheek.
Clary sat down on his bed and waited. He came back wearing sweats and grinned as she started at his chest. Clary stood up and held his hand as they walked to the basement. Clary looked around at all the equipment. and then stared at the padded floor and the swords on the wall. She walked over and looked over them.
Jace turned all the lights on and started up the speakers. Clary lifted one of the long swords and held it in her hand. Jace walked over and said "have you trained with these" He put his arms around her and held the her hand around the swords. Clary shook her head and said "too heavy" Jace nodded and said "more push ups for you" Clary laughed at the fact. She knew he was right, she couldn't do many push ups.
He put the sword back and put his arms around her once against and placed his chin on top of her head. Clary smiled and said "Why do you do that?" Jace smiled and said "because you're short" Clary huffed and jace stepped from side to side just lifting his foot and then putting it down. Clary closed her eyes and covered his arms with her own and said "this is nice" jace hummed in approval and whispered "it is" Clary turned around in his arms and reached behind her holding his hands behind her back.
Jace placed their forehead together and asked "how's your head?" Clary nodded and said "don't talk, you're gonna ruin it" Jace smiled and they stood there swaying. Clary stopped and let go of his hands and said "you're supposed to be working out" Jace grinned and gestured to his chest and asked "you think I need improvement" Clary looked at his chest and shook her head and said "i think you should keep it up" jace grinned and said "thank you, now sit down or go to bed" Clary sat down on one of the machines and leaned against the backrest and said "I'll wait" jace nodded and played the music.
Clary watched him move around while still keeping her eyes on the door. After about an hour jace turned the music off and said "I'm done" Clary got to her feet and said "you smell" Jace smirked as they walked up the stairs. As soon as they reached jace's room clary crawled into bed as jace took a shower.
She stood up and fumbled with the clasp on her bra. The strap kept pressing against her shoulder. She got it undone and removed it under her shirt dropping it on her bag. She closed the door and crawled into bed again slipping under the covers. Jace came back and looked at her before turning the main light off and turning the beside one on. He reached out to her and pressed them together. Clary rolled over and tangled their legs together jace held her waist underneath her shirt and said "this it my shirt" Clary nodded and said "I know" Jace circled his arms around waist stuffing his face in her neck. Clary ran her hands thru his now damp hair. Jace fell asleep after a few minutes while clary stayed awake.
She couldn't sleep, she was exhausted, she couldn't keep her eyes open but sleep wouldn't come. Clary let her mind wander to the guy holding her. He was the picture perfect image, He looked like a heart breaker. Clary smiled as she thought of how they were earlier, Body to body, swaying from side to side. Her heart melted everytime he kissed her head and it almost burst every time he kissed her lips. not to mention she got arrhythmia every time they kissed. His eyes, she loved them. His hair dried straight but curly when wet. His grip on her when he slept was one of steel, like he was scared someone would take her away. She felt her heart clench at the thought of someone finding out. Someone forcing them apart.
And then she cried again. She held him closely and let her tears flow. Once again the door opened. And yet again clary closed her eyes. "Oh look they are doing it again" Celine, clary couldn't stop the flow of tears. "Darling leave them be" Stephen clary let out breath. "She's crying" She heard her walk in and sit down on the bed. "Darling don't wake her" Clary opened her eyes and stephen looked eyes with her. Celine turned to her and reached out brushing her hair away from her face and asked "Why are you crying?" Clary looked down at jace and whispered "I-I can't say" Celine frowned and said "okay, may i ask why you're cuddling my son" Clary sighed out and whispered "I-I was upset and he was comforting me and i just wanted someone to hold me and he fell asleep" Celine nodded and said "don't cry sweetie" Clary wiped her tears and said "did my parents call?" Celine nodded and said "I won't mention this, i have a feeling it's frowned upon" Clary sighed in relief and said "Why don't you wake him up and come down and have some food, since you didn't eat anything today" Clary nodded and celine stood up pulling her husband away.
Clary leaned down and kissed jace on his forehead. nothing. She kissed his eyebrows and eyes and he released his hold on her waist and looked at her. He frowned and said "you've been crying" Clary breathed a laugh and nodded and said "you mother wants us down for dinner" Jace raised his eyebrows and asked "She saw us like this, and left" Clary smiled and said "i said you were comforting me and you fell asleep" jace nodded and smirked as his hands moved over her back asked "when did you take your bra off" clary smiled and said "when you took a shower" Jace grumbled and said "damn, i would have taken advantage of that" Clary sighed and said "well to late" Jace wiggled his eyebrows and disappeared under to covers.
Clary giggled as he kissed over her abdomen and clary shook her head and said "not now" Jace laughed against her skin and making her laugh loudly. clary pushed him off her and went to retrieve her bra. Jace pulled a shirt on and kissed her softly before opening the door.
They arrived in the kitchen and settled down by the round table with four chairs. Clary pushed her hair behind her ears and looked down at her folded hand. "Clary?" Clary looked up and saw celine looking at her strangely "are you okay?" Clary nodded and said "im fine" She nodded and handed gestured to the food in front of her. clary picked up her fork and started eating making celine smile.
They all sat in the living room later and as soon as her head touched jace's shoulder she was out. Jace looked at her and laid her head in his lap while putting a blanket on her. His parents looked at the two and his mother asked "Is there something we need to know" Jace shook his head and said "we are just friendly" Celine sighed and said "you know we saw how you slept when she stayed here, half naked and spooning" Jace looked down at her and said "She's involved" celine shrugged and said "she couldn't be with the way she looks at you" Jace sighed and said "and how is that" celine shrugged "like she's falling in love" Jace shook his head and said "She's upset. probably not thinking straight"
Stephen looked at him and said "it's okay to like someone who doesn't like you back" Jace shrugged and said "I never said i didn't like her" his parents smiled and jace said "I have a feeling her father would have my head, as well as her brother" they shrugged and said "it will work out" He looked down at clary and sighed and said "is it normal to sleep this much" Celine nodded and said "as soon as i met her i knew she was exhausted, she's stressed, the concussion was a blessing for her" Jace frowned and said "why would she be stressed" They shrugged and said "we don't know what she does, you strike deals and hunt people down, Her brother is someone who hunts people down and makes them pay, we don't know what she does"
Jace looked down at her and said "she doesn't look like she could hurt fly" His father nodded and said "That scares me, did you watch her at dinner, She had a smile on her face and the man ran out of there, he gave up what he was willing to pay a fortune for and then ran from her" Jace brushed his fingers thru her hair and said "There's just something about her, i can't just ignore it" His parents nodded and said "don't get caught in a crossfire, I have feeling she'll lead you to one"
Did you like it? tell me what you think?
