AN: Soooo 2 chaps in 3 days?! What? Yeahh, well I found another free minute, so I thought I'd write. Ermmm I got the Team Clary idea from my friend who has leukemia (talked about it while ago), sooooo yeah. Umm, I don't really have anything to say. So here. Enjoy.


Chapter 11: Team Clary

Jace woke up to his relentless alarm clock, feeling a warm body cradled next to his. He slammed his hand down on the alarm clock, effectively stopping it's blaring. He looked over, seeing Clary curled up against him. She was too upset about everything last night, so he just let her sleep over. He got out of bed as quietly as he could, grabbing some sweats, and headed downstairs to make breakfast.

He was heading back upstairs about 30 minutes later, with a tray of breakfast, when Robert stopped him.

"Jace, could you get Clary to come down here? I have to talk to her." Robert asked.

"Uhh, yeah. Sure. Just let her eat first, then I'll send her down." Jace replied somewhat wary.

Jace made his way up the steps, to his room, and opened the door. He saw Clary still in bed, and he realized with a start that they had school today. He glanced at the clock- 5:45 AM. School started in 2 hours.

He carefully set the breakfast on the desk next to the bed, and kneeled down in front of Clary. He kissed her softly, repeating it until she woke up.

"Jace..." She mumbled groggily.

"Morning, Sleeping Beauty. I made breakfast." Jace told her.

"Really? You didn-" Clary started.

"Ah. I wanted to make breakfast for my gorgeous girlfriend. So I did." Jace told her simply.

"Well, thank you." She said graciously.

"Also, Robert wanted to talk to you." Jace said, trying to sound nonchalant so she wouldn't worry.

That didn't work.

"What? Why? Did he say why? What if I o-" Clary started, rambling.

"He didn't look worried. I'm sure it's fine."

"Alright. I'll be back."

"I'll be here."

Clary gave Jace a quick peck, and then pranced out the door, her hair flying behind her.


Clary made her way downstairs, pausing when she reached the door of Roberts office. She hesitantly knocked, entering once he told her to do so.

"Clary! Morning. I just wanted to talk to you real quick. I was gonna have your parents come as well, but I figured since you're already here, I could just tell you, and you could inform them."

Clary gave a slight nod, afraid that if she opened her mouth, she'd lose her breakfast. Her hands were shaking, so she buried them in her lap, trying to cover it up.

"Now, we discussed we were going to do chemo, correct?"

Once again, Clary nodded.

"Okay, well, I was thinking we could start... next week?"

Clary's breath hitched, and she almost passed out again.

"So, I'd have to stop school?" She asked rhetorically.

"Well... Yes. Tomorrow will be your final day at school, before we commence with your treatment. But you can still get a tutor, and Jace will get your work from your classes. You'll still be doing school, you just won't have to go! That's a plus, isn't it?" Robert said cheerfully.

"Uh, yeah. Well, if that's all, I'll just head back upstairs."

"Yup. Seems to be it. Thanks, Clary. Don't forget to let your parents know."

"Yeah. Right." Clary said dazed.

She made her way back upstairs, stepping into Jace's room, before sitting down at the foot of his bed, her back turned to him.

"Hey, what'd Robert say?" Jace asked.

When Clary didn't answer, Jace got up and stood in front of her.

"Clary? Hey. It couldn't have been that bad. Right?" Jace asked, almost as if he didn't want the answer.

"Tomorrow is my last day at school. Starting chemo this week." Clary said absentmindedly.

"Y-Your, last, day? As in final?"

"Yes, Jace! As in, my last day of being a normal teenager. My last day to live at my house. My last day of seeing my friends everyday for at least 8 hours a day. My last day to be, Clary." Clary shouted, getting quieter at the end.

"You'll always be my Clary." He said sincerely.

"And, you'll always be my Jace." She said, before smiling sadly at him and heading to the bathroom to get ready.

Jace had an idea. He immediately sent a text to Sebastian, jittery with excitement.

Dude, I just got the best idea.~J

Less than 30 seconds later, his phone dinged.

What?~S

So Clary's been really down in the dumps lately, understandably. But I thought that we could help cheer her up. You know that thing, Relay For Life?~J

Yeahhhh~S

Well I was thinking that we could form a team. For Clary. And raise money. For her to go into remission. We could sell bracelets, and T-shirts, all that stuff. Team Clary.~J

Dude! That's awesome! We could get the whole school in on it!~S

Right? Okay, text everyone you know about it. Tell them all to wear orange, because that's the color for Leukemia.~J

Got it.~S

Clary walked out of the bathroom just as Jace was putting his phone away, seeing excitement written all over his face.

"What? What did you do? Is there something on my face? Does my outfit look weird?"

Jace looked at Clary. She was wearing the extra clothes she kept here, just in case she ever spent the night without packing stuff. She was wearing plain skinny jeans, with an orange short sleeve V-neck T-shirt, and royal blue Keds.

Orange. Perfect. He thought.

"No. You look cute." He smiled at her.

"Well why are you smiling like that?"

"No reason. Now lets go, we'll be late to school."


When Clary got to school, she immediately noticed it. It was like a huge blinking sign. No one could have missed it. It was everyone. They were all doing it.

Wearing orange.

Clary knew that was the color for Leukemia.

She slowly turned her head to look at Jace, who was smiling so wide, she was surprised his face didn't hurt.

"Surprised?" He asked.

"You did this?" She asked quietly.

"Anything for you."

Just then two arms wrapped around Clary, and she immediately knew who they belonged to.

"So, are you happy?"

"Of course, Sebastian. You helped?"

"Well, yeah. But it was your boyfriend's idea." Sebastian said, nudging Jace in the shoulder.

As Clary walked into school, it was like the parting of the Red Sea. Everyone formed a path in the center for her to walk, and then closed behind Jace and Sebastian, who were flanking her.

She reached her locker soon enough, finding all of her best friends surrounding her.

Jace, Sebastian, Isabelle, Simon, Jordan, and Maia.

"I love you guys." Clary said honestly.

"Good, because you're not getting rid of us." Simon joked, sending a wave of laughs through the group.

Clary turned and opened her locker, thinking to make the best of these last two days. Because they were just that. Her last days as a normal, popular girl. Then it would be living at the hospital, losing her hair, constantly throwing up. So, she decided to enjoy it.

"Let's go." She said with a smile on her face, turning away from her locker.
