Dad sat mom down and they looked at me closely. She looked like she was about to cry and I didn't know what to do. They wouldn't tell me anything but i wanted to know. This was my life and I was going to be told what this all was about. All they kept saying was oh it isn't you birthday but once again didn't know what that meant. "Come on tell me!" I begged them. Mom shifted her gaze to dad and fiddled with her finger. He nodded and took her hand in his squeezing it. Oh god that's how you knew it was going to be bad or different.
"When you were in preschool sebastian called he was your student teacher and not a very nice one at that he threatened to touch you and hurt you and but he said when you turn sixteen he has a surprise for you and us but looks like he let it out five days early"
I stayed quiet for a moment.
"Why?"
"What do you mean?"
"I mean why is he doing this?"
"Because when i tricked him to think i shot your mother i shot him and sent him to prison almost"
I thought about this long and hard. I could save my mothers brother who she cried over and wanted back so bad. Or I could stay here and do nothing have a boring life and deal with Mr. Verlac everyday. Finally I decided I would take my chances I was joining the morgenstern/fray mob. Nothing they said could change my mind.
"I'm doing it"
"NO you are not joining a mob!"
"Come on mom! you did it when you were my age and im just like you i'll have magnus and everything to help me!"
"Absolutly not!"
My dad butted in. "Clary" he said "just think about it." She looked at him in shock. "You seriously aren't going to let out daughter do that are you?!" she screamed at him her tiny build shaking. Dad looked at me and it looked like he was trying to place his words carefully. "WHO CARES ABOUT JONATHAN" she shouted "VERLAC IS A LIAR AND CHEAT!". Im going to do it now and i was sure. Mom looked at me with pleading eyes, "please baby promise me you wont." Nodding i promised.. with my fingers crossed behind my back. Smiling I ran upstairs ready for the weekend. Quickly I packed my bag stuffing the duffle under my bed right as my mom came in. Quietly she came over and sat down on my bed.
"Thank you for caring princess"
"Your welcome my queen"
Getting up she smiled and kissed my forehead. I felt slightly guilty but I had to do this. Closing the door I called my uncle magnus. Instead alec picked up. "Give the phone to your husband you gay lover boy" I held in a giggle just knowing he was doing the look on the other end. A moment later magnus's voice filled the phone. "You interupted a very important event" he said displeased and I scoffed at him. "yes" I replied "because doing it with my uncle is very important." He sighed heavily "what do you want Laken" so he was onto me. I smiled even though he couldn't see me.
"I'm joining the mob and I need your help please"
I heard a click and looked at the phone. That gay sparkly homo lizard hung up on me like a little brat! Grumbling I put my phone on the bedside table and ducked myself under the covers. I was going to have to tell drew to I guess. Groaning I wipped my hands down my face and snuggled deeper.
I woke up in the morning by light shining in through my window. Yawning I got up and walked out of my room. Slowly making my way down stairs I checked the time and smiled. They had let me sleep in till ten thirty. The T.V was blaring Jason's favortie show as I pulle the orange juice from the cartoon and chugged it down. My mom came in at the same time and smacked me softly.
"Gross don't be like your father!"
I wipped the drop of orange juice from my chin and shrugged. Speaking of the devil he came in and took the carton from me drinking whatever was left. Mom glared at him and took it throwing it away.
"What about me?"
He smirked and grabbed her close kissing her intimatly. I gagged and turned around trying to find some warm up pancakes. They acted like sex crazed teens. That was my job not theirs.
"Mom im going shopping with Magnus today"
"That's nice honey now go get dressed if you are"
I nodded and ran up the steps into my room. Sleepily I pulled my over sized sweater and tribal leggins on. I crawled on my closet floor for what seemed like forever untill i found my brown boots and hot bun thing for my hair. Walking over to my bathroom I slipped on my boots and picked up my phone my mint blue nail scrooling through things. I texted Drew back from last night and turned on wires by the weekend. My hands worked at my hair as I called uncle Magnus yet once again. He picked up and groaned at the sound of my voice.
"What do you want shorty?"
"Were going shopping today come get me in ten"
"Really?"
"YES now bye"
I hung up and smiled while putting in the last bobby pin. Sometimes I thought i should feel bad about sassing Magnus but honestly who cares? he was magnus the sassiest man alive that i knew. Mom called my name and i ran down the steps throwing my scarf and purse on as i ran out the door. Snow was falling so I was anxious to get in away from the cold. He unlocked the door and i jumped into the heated mercades. Pulling out he looked at me amused
"We aren't going shopping today only are we?"
The corner of my mouth quirked unvoulentarily.
"Oh my dear uncle magnus how you know me"
"Well you are your fathers and hes a crazy sarcastic asshat to"
I put my hand to my heart in mock hurt smirking.
"Oh my dearest magnus how you have wounded my fragile young soul oww sob cry cry boo fucking hoo"
He laughed and I smiled at him smugly. "Yep" he confirmed to me "you are of a herondale blood line."
