Chapter 11

CPOV

"Jace, don't you even think about touching me", Clary warned him. She tried to back away, but because she was still in bed she fell off and landed on the floor. Her vision went blank for five seconds before it came back and she saw Jace evil smirk on his face.

"Oh little red, why not? It only happens once a year", he said in a low voice, "it's tradition."

"No. It's your stupid tradition. Leave me alone."

Before Clary could do anything Jace was sitting on top of her and began to tickle her.

"No, please stop", Clary begged between her laugh. Her face had turned a few shades red and she laughed quietly not wanting her parents to wake up to the scene they would see. It would be inappropriate for Jace sitting on her like that, even if he always did it. He leaned in, closer to Clary compared to a few seconds ago.

"Happy birthday, little red", he whispered in her ear. She shivered of the closeness and Jace could feel it. He smiled. He knew he could affect Clary that way. He didn't move away from his close position. Just looking at Clary with his gold coloured eyes. Clary felt the butterflies in her stomach when he stopped with the tickling. Just stared at each other, then Jace eyes moved to Clary's lip. She did the same as their faces came closer. Still looking at each other like they could see one another's soul. Their noses touched, Clary closed her eyes, not caring if Jace did it or not. She felt his soft lips brush against her own. As soon as they had shared the small kiss Clary felt fireworks. He sat up and looked shocked. Clary opened her eyes in surprise, she wanted more than a peck on the lips.

"Clary, I-I'm s-sorry", he stammered. He was blushing. Such a cute sight.

He was about move away when Clary couldn't hold it, she tried to sit but with Jace on top of her it was hard. She gripped his cheeks, pulled him closer to herself and kissed him. At first it was stiff and out of surprise kind of kiss, that was Clary's first thought. But it could be an imagination because he relaxed in her embrace and kissed Clary back just as fast. At first the kiss was slow and careful but then the kiss became more hungrily. He licked her bottom lip, trying to get an entrance and finally she opened her mouth. Clary gasped when he deepened the kiss with his tongue. I'm in heaven.

Jace had his hands on either side of Clary, trying to support them both from not laying on the floor. Clary removed her hands from Jace's cheeks and put them in his hair. Just as soft as always. Clary smiled to herself and she could feel Jace smile against her lips.

Suddenly they heard a knock on the door. Clary pushed Jace away in the same time as he darted away from Clary. It was like they had got an electric shock from each other. Jace was on the bed and Clary on the floor. Her face flushing and she was trying to catch her breath. In their embrace they had forgot their lack of oxygen and Clary could see that Jace was trying to catch his breath as well. The door opened slowly.

"Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday dear Clarissa", Clary's parents sang in unison," happy birthday to you."

They came in to the room like they did every year. They had brought her breakfast as usual with presents. They smiled to their daughter, it was a day of happiness. Then Clary's mom saw Clary's red and swollen lips. She raised a brow to Clary who was turning red. Damn I wish I could do that. No wait, that's not important right now. Mom can see that we kissed, why would she do that. Clary could only smile and try to hide her lips by sucking them in.

"Clarissa, why are you on the floor?", Jocelyn asked and gave Jace a short glance. He turned began to flush and turned his gaze away on a spot on the wall. He's blushing, so cute, Clary thought.

"I was dreaming and fell from the bed", Clary tried to explain. Now Valentine was giving them a suspicious look. He had realised that Jace was in Clary's bed and gave him a judging look before both of Clary's parents turned to Clary and smiled. They handed her two presents.

"Open them and then eat breakfast. You have 30 minutes before going to school", Valentine said and they went out of the room whispering to each other. They both gave Clary and Jace a quick glance before the door was closed.

"That was tense", Clary said. It had been an awkward moment. They didn't even wait for her to open her presents, so she put them aside and began eating her breakfast. Jace was sitting quietly on the bed and looked on one of their pictures from when they were younger. Both Jace and Clary had lost a tooth that day. He had a small smile on his lips.

"Jace, come here and eat", Clary said. He turned to Clary and smiled innocently. Clary felt her heart skip a beat. I guess this is how it feels when you fall in love.

.o.O.o.

CPOV

Art was Clary's first lesson. She was sitting on her usual spot with Simon and Raphael. Both of them smiling wide and happy at her. She knew that they knew it was her birthday or else they wouldn't smile like two idiots.

"Cumpleaños feliz, pelirojo", Raphael said and hugged Clary tightly, "eighteen and just as loca."

"Yeah, so loca you'll be surprised", Clary giggled. She liked Raphael, he was always so nice and charming with his Spanglish. He let her go and Clary eyed him a quickie before Simon embraced her into a hug as well.

"Happy birthday, Clary", he whispered.

"Thanks Si", Clary answered. She liked her friends in art class, they both were nice and gentle to her. Always caring. They began their lesson and talked all the time. They were even scolded a few times but that didn't stop them from talking.

At lunch Isabelle had brought Clary a cake. Clary was eyeing the cake suspiciously. Did she bake it?

"Izzy, did you bake this?", Jace asked the question Clary was thinking about. She glanced at Jace and saw him focusing on the cake as well.

"Yes I did", Isabelle answered happily. Jace looked at Clary and tried to hold a laugh. He's so cute. "Now cut the cake, Clary."

Clary took the plastic knife Isabelle handed her, it was from the cafeteria and tried to cut the cake. It was as hard as a rock. Clary laughed. She was holding her stomach and tried to hold back the tears.

Isabelle looked at Clary with an apologetic look while everyone around the table was laughing really hard.

"Are you trying to kill Clary or what?", Simon tried to ask. Isabelle looked at Simon with an angry look and Simon stopped laughing, "I was only joking babe."

"Everyone, seriously. It was a really nice gesture. I appreciate your thought", Clary said and hugged Isabelle tightly, "you are the best, Izzy."

With those words Isabelle relaxed and everyone went back to normal around the table. They ate their food with the sound of chattering around them. Everyone had something to say to one another. That's when the speakers came on and everyone became silent.

"Hello students of Idris high", the voice of their school president said, Cheley-Sara. She was a nice girl and perfect for president. She had won the students heart because she wasn't one of those fake girls that tried to be on the top all the time by being mean. Even Clary had voted for her to become the school president, "today is a special day for one of our students. Why? Because it's her birthday. This is a request from Sebastian Verlac to his girl Clarissa Morgenstern."

Clary stiffed. No fucking way. She was furious now. Jace looked over at Clary with a concerned look. "Keep it cool" he mouthed.

"Can everyone stand up and sing to our birthday girl?" Everyone listened to Cheley-Sara and stood up. Then everyone began singing the birthday song, while looking at Clary who felt stupid and not knowing what to do. It wasn't Cheley-Sara's fault, she just did what she could to gain the students trust. I swear I'll hit him if I see him.

When everyone had sung the song they sat down. Clary's face turning into a new kind of shade of red. This was something she didn't like, something she didn't want. This kind of attention was a fear she had and now it became true. She was done eating and stood up to throw her things before the rest of her table had reacted. She turned around and faced Sebastian. Everyone was looking at them with excitement.

"Clary, my dear, happy birthday", Sebastian said and pulled her in and gave her a quick kiss on her lips. The cafeteria was so silent Clary could hear a needle fall. At first Clary didn't react at all, it was so sudden. However as soon as their lips connected for that brief moment her head began working again. The clogs turning fast. She pushed Sebastian away, hard.

"What the fuck are you doing? Don't touch me", Clary yelled. Everyone in the cafeteria turned to them with wide eyes.

"Clary babe-", Sebastian began.

"Don't babe me, you disgusting pig. After everything you did to me, you should be happy that you are standing here. Don't talk to me. Ever. Again."

Sebastian was startled. He just stared at Clary, he didn't expect that. She turned away before anyone could do anything and ran out of the cafeteria. She ran to the girl's bathroom. She was angry and paced in the bathroom back and forth with frustrating steps. The door opened and Isabelle walked in. Clary turned around and hugged her friend without a hesitation. Isabelle held Clary tightly to herself and stroke her hair. Isabelle was careful with Clary, like she was fragile.

"Don't cry Clary, I'm here."

"Izzy, I never told you this... But at your party… Sebastian. He tried… he forced himself on me", Clary stuttered. She didn't know how to break the secret to Isabelle.

"Did he?", Isabelle was in shock.

"No, Jace was there in time, to save me." Isabelle looked slightly relieved to hear that.

"Oh God. Have you told your parents about this? You have to report this", Isabelle said with a concerned voice. Clary knew it was a serious case, but she couldn't do it.

"Not yet, Izzy. I can't."

"Clary, seriously. You have to tell someone. He can't get away with this like that." Isabelle was very serious by now. She had let Clary go from the hug and held her shoulders.

"Clary, you have to talk to someone, or else I'll do it."

"No, I'll tell. Just don't. I'll tell my parents. When the time is here. Just not now", Clary pleaded. She wasn't ready for her parents to know about this, not yet.

"I hope so Clary, I really hope so. For your own good"

.o.O.o.

JPOV

Jace had boiled when he saw Sebastian kiss Clary. Who did he think he was? He never had a chance to hit Sebastian hard in the face before everyone in the cafeteria was moving. It had been an awkward situation for Sebastian after Clary's little outbreak. Nobody knew where to look, it was anywhere except at Sebastian. Right at him.

Now Jace was sitting beside his mother who was sleeping. She had wakened up earlier when Jace was at school. Luckily Michael had been next to her. She hadn't said much. Just "I love you" and then drifted to sleep. Jace sighed. It was hard for him to see his mother in bed, but when the doctors had said she was recovering it had been a relief for Jace. She's going to be all right.

He began to think about Clary, this morning they had kissed. It wasn't something he had made her to do. Jace might have seduced Clary, but she had done the same thing. She was in the kiss as much as Jace had been. He had felt the sparks when they kissed. It was like fireworks played in a distance. Her soft lips against his. He shivered from the thought of her lips. It had been so nice and the kiss had been better than he expected. My dearest, little Clary.

"Are you cold, darling?", the nurse asked sweetly. Her name was Chloe, Jace read from her nametag. She gave him a caring look, like Jace's mother gave him when she wanted to comfort Jace.

"No I'm fine", Jace said politely.

"I must say visiting hour is over, but you can come back tomorrow", Chloe said, "It's very kind of you to come here and visit your mother. My years as a nurse I've seen much. This is probably one of the few things that make me smile. You are a very caring son. She is a lucky mother to have you as a son."

Jace smiled to the nurse. It meant more to him than he actually thought it would do.

"Thank you, mam, it's nice to hear something like that", Jace said. His voice had faltered a bit. He wanted to cry, his tears close to the edge. This was too much for him, it had been weeks without his mothers love. He had only his father's cold love to comfort him, which wasn't much.

Chloe came closer and gave Jace hug. It was a hug he had missed a lot. A motherly kind of hug he hadn't got since his mother had fallen in coma. Jace appreciated Chloe's effort and caring. The hug meant a lot. He had missed these kinds of hugs.

"It's going to be alright."

.o.O.o.


I couldn't just pick one name, it was really hard and I felt really mean to do that, so I'll just try to put all of the names I got somewhere in the story. At least I'll try. To all of you who guessed, it was Clary's birthday ofc. The story is OOC and I always had a problem knowing when Clary's birthday was in the book so I just made it up after Halloween instead.

JaceHerondale17 - I love the engagement there, for remembering the birthday tradition. :D

Boredsowritting01 - sorry if it looked like I accused you or something. I just wanted to say my thought, didn't mean to look it so harsh. Questionability is probably a word, or else it can be a new word! :)

Nira Avalon - I speak Swedish, Persian, Spanish and English, fluently on all of them except Spanish. I almost speak fluently on Spanish, not yet tho. And I'm learning my fifth language which is Russian.

AnonMOTHAFUCKA - I laughed so much at that comment! Funniest comment for the moment! :')

I have some other stories in my mind, do you want me to update a new story? (I'll keep writing this one as well)
