10. Chapter 9

I couldn't wait to make another chapter, which I'm not sure you guys mind anyway. So hopefully this one will be just as long if not longer. Review and let me know what you're thinking

Clary rolled over and looked at the clock. Ugh! It was only 3 o'clock! She had been tossing and turning since she got home from her date with Simon and for the life of her she couldn't fall asleep. She stared at the crisp white of her ceiling for a minute longer before groaning and pulling herself out of bed. If she wasn't going to sleep than she would at least make sure that she wasn't bored stiff. She yawned and stumbled down the hall to the living room. She plopped herself on the couch and grabbed the flicker, turning on the TV Clary made sure that the volume was low enough to not wake anyone else up. The TV filled the room with a flickering glow and a low buzzing. Clary put her head back against the couch and looked up at the ceiling watching the shadows from the TV dance across it.

'Clary? What are you doing up?'

Clary almost jumped out of her skin when she heard Jace's soft voice behind her. She turned around; Jace was standing behind the couch rubbing his eyes with the palm of his hands. His hair was tousled making Clary believe that he had just woken up, or, like her, was tossing and turning in bed.

'Can't sleep.' He nodded and sat on the couch beside her. She looked back at the TV and flipped through the channels pausing when 'The Amazing Spiderman' came on TV. Clary smirked, she loved Andrew Garfield. She shifted her position on the couch so that her shoulders were angled slightly towards Jace and her feet were up against the couch arm. She wasn't touching Jace but she could still feel the warmth radiating from him. They both turned their attention to the screen to watch the movie.

Before long Clary felt her eyes grow heavy with sleep, she struggled to keep them open but just ended up falling against Jaces' shoulder. Jace seemed to be falling asleep as well because he wrapped his arm around her shoulders and drew her into his chest. Clary curled one of her hands near her mouth and the other grasped the hem of Jaces' shirt. She felt the soft fabric of his shirt under her cheek as she nestled her head into his chest. Jace breathed in the scent of her as he rested his chin against the top of her head. Clary smiled sleepily and snuggled farther into his chest. The movie soon went unnoticed as they both fell asleep in each other's arms.
