Chapter 12
CPOV
Clary sat alone in her room. I just turned 18, and here I am like usual. Not much has changed. She sighed.
She had celebrated the rest of her birthday at home with her parents, Isabelle and Simon. Jace hadn't been there because of his mother had wakened up earlier today and he didn't want to miss her eyes open one more time. Clary understood that and she wasn't upset of his absence. He missed his mother and Clary wouldn't stop him for seeing him. They had celebrated with cake that had pink frosting and strawberries. It had an overload on cream but Clary didn't mind, it was her favourite kind of cake so she had eaten it with enjoyment. Clary had a fun time with her near and dear ones, they had talked about memories and random things, danced and played games. She had forgotten about the Sebastian incident during the evening but as soon as Isabelle brought it up Clary frowned. Isabelle had said that Clary had to tell her parents about everything he had done and Clary had said she would do that.
When Isabelle and Simon had gone home, Jocelyn began cleaning up and Valentine had some work to do, so Clary went to her bedroom where she was now. She sat by the window, drawing the silhouette of the buildings in front of their apartment. It was cold, and Clary wore her t-shirt and shorts pyjamas. She was in her own world, humming quietly to herself. She had been so angry at school, for what Sebastian had done. Why does he keep ignoring the whole thing? And the way he acted, so nonchalant. He's such a dick head.
"Who's a dick head?", the voice of her father filled the room. Clary froze and looked up.
"Did I say that out loud?", Clary asked stupidly. She didn't know her father would come in to her room and she didn't realise she had said anything out loud either.
"Yes and I still want to know who you are talking about", Valentine said demanding. Now I know why Jace is so scared of my father.
Clary hesitated before she answered. "It's this boy at school, Sebastian. He has been mean to me for a while and it simply pisses me off."
Clary saw her fathers face change, he was frowning. Nobody messed with his daughter. "I'll come by tomorrow and talk to your principal."
"Dad, you don't have to come", Clary tried to wave it off, "it's nothing."
"Has Jonathan done anything to help you?"
"Yes, dad, he saved me every time the boy tried to be mean", Clary said and felt her eyes burn. She was thinking about what had happened at that party. She didn't want to cry in front of her father, not now. Luckily she was strong and fought back the threatening tears.
"Good, good", Valentine muttered and Clary felt herself relax a bit. Maybe she had won the argument and he wouldn't come to school, "but I'm still coming tomorrow."
Clary went stiff didn't want him to come, it would only make everything into a bigger mess. "Okay." Was all Clary could say right now. She was defeated. No matter what she would say or do, Valentine wouldn't change his mind.
Valentine said "Happy birthday" one last time and left the room with Clary alone again. Then Jocelyn came in; she hugged her daughter in an embrace of motherly love. She was crying.
"Mom, why are you crying? Are you hurt?", Clary asked alerted. Ever since Jace's mother had fallen into a coma, Clary was worried about her own mother. She couldn't lose her like that.
"I'm just so happy to have you in my life, my sweet little girl. You're practically an adult now", Jocelyn said and smiled as she watched her daughter, "you've grown, but you'll still be my little girl."
Clary smiled and felt some tears down her cheeks. "I love you, mom."
"I love you too, sweetheart", Jocelyn said and kissed her daughter on the forehead before she went out of the room, turning the lights off, "goodnight."
"Goodnight mom", Clary whispered and the door closed again. She turned the small lamp beside her window on. Soon the whole house was silent, her parents had gone to sleep but Clary wasn't sleepy. She was still struggling with her coherent thoughts. She saw a flash of gold outside her window and began to think about Jace. She had kissed him and it felt right in every way. But he's your best friend.
Best friend. That word was twirling in her head. Jace, her best friend since kindergarten. She couldn't ruin this, not their friendship. I must end this thing now. She couldn't do this, ruin what they had for such a long time. It's just your hormones tricking you. She heard her phone vibrate, so she took it up and saw one new message in the inbox.
Open your door ~ J
Clary felt her heart beat faster as she opened her bedroom door quietly. She tiptoed to the front door and unlocked the door. On the other side was Jace. He had a genuine smile on his face and Clary felt her heart skip a beat. Seriously, stop doing that. It will be the death of me.
She smiled and took Jace's hand and pulled him to her room after she closed the front door. When they were in Clary's room he was giving Clary the Manhattan-look. His eyes went up and down her body and she shivered just by that. He smirked.
"Making you nervous?", he whispered and took a step forward.
Clary swallowed. "Yes", she breathed out.
"Why would I do that? We've been in these kind of situations before", he said calmly and took another step forward. Clary took automatically a step back. She didn't want to be near him, afraid of what she would do if he were standing to close to her. Those situations were different, before what I felt for you.
"Are you afraid?", he asked and took another step. He was closer to Clary know. She was breathing faster.
"N-no", Clary stuttered. Jace smiled, showing his white teeth.
"You're too cute when you are nervous, do you know that?", Jace asked and took the last step to Clary. She was backed up against the door and he put his hands on both of her sides, caging her like he had done in school. He leaned in, coming closer. Clary lifted her chin and tried to come near as they shared a light kiss. Neither of them went deeper than that. Clary repelled.
"Jace, we… I… I can't do this", Clary whispered and looked at Jace with her reindeer eyes. Jace didn't let her go from the cage and just watched her.
"Why not?", he whispered back.
"Because you're my best friend, I don't want to ruin this", Clary said. She felt her heart sink in her chest. I want more than friendship.
"Clary, I can't keep it like that, I can't be your friend anymore", Jace said with sad eyes. She knew he wanted more than just friends, she felt the same.
"I-", Clary began but Jace put a finger on her lip.
"Let me finish, little red", he said, "I can't be with you anymore if you're with other guys that isn't me. I hate to see you with someone else, kissing someone else. When you were with Sebastard I had to pretend liking him when I actually hated him. I don't want to be near you if you have someone else in your life. I love you, Clary. I love you too much to let you go to someone else."
Clary stared wide-eyed at Jace. She didn't want to hear that, his feelings for her.
"Jace, it's just a crush. You'll get over it", Clary began. What could she say?
"No, that's the problem. At first I thought it was a crush, but as I grew up my feelings developed. I don't want anyone else but you. I love you."
What should I say? This is as hard for me as it is to him. I don't want to ruin anything. Maybe I should give us a chance. Clary was puzzled about what to say. She didn't know.
"I know that you feel something for me as well, maybe you love me too. Because today, our kiss this morning. Our kiss now. I could feel the spark as much as you could. We are meant to be together", Jace continued. He seemed afraid for something. Maybe rejection.
"Jace", was all Clary said when he looked up at her with hope in his eyes, "just don't hurt me."
Without hesitation Jace smiled as he attacked Clary in a kiss. Clary gasped for the sudden attack and kissed him back. She closed her eyes and enjoyed their lips connection. She felt his hand coming down on her waist as she put her hands around his neck. He licked and sucked her bottom lip for an entrance and Clary opened her mouth. His tongue exploring her mouth. He pulled Clary closer to himself, trying to close the distance between them and in the same time pushed them both to the door. Clary enjoyed every second of being with Jace and this was something new and unexplored. She loved it. Clary put her left leg up on Jace's waist and he helped her up, locking her legs around his waist. He held her thighs and moved to Clary's bed. He put her down gently and broke the kiss, he lay beside her. Both of them trying to catch their breaths. Clary smiled to herself.
"Jace, I love you", Clary whispered. She needed to say that, because it was the truth after all. She loved her best friend before and she loved him now.
Jace chuckled. "I know." Was all he said before he began kissing her again. It was a passionate kiss, he was careful and Clary liked that. He put one hand on her waist and the other one cupping her cheek. Clary moved her hand under his shirt, feeling his stomach she wanted to touch for a while. It was harder than she expected.
"Take it off", Clary mumbled when he gave her butterfly kisses. Then with a little help from Clary his shirt was thrown across the room. She gazed at him in the moonlight. He was shining in the light, "you are beautiful."
"My sweet little red", Jace said and saw Clary yawn. She was tired. It had been a long day and now she needed sleep, "tired?"
"Yes. We can end this some other time", Clary said sleepily. She felt the bed move and the empty space from where Jace had laid was cold.
"Happy birthday, little red", Jace whispered and kissed her forehead.
.o.O.o.
CPOV
Clary was waiting outside the principal's office with her father and Sebastian. She was thinking about last night, about Jace and his lips. He had slept beside her all night and they went to school together arm in arm as they did when they were younger. She had been happy the whole day and walked around with a huge smile on her face. Whenever someone asked what it was for, she just waved them off and said she simply was happy.
The waiting room was grey and red, it only contained one plant among the four black chairs and table. She was still smiling to herself, but more discreetly. She didn't want her father or Sebastian to think she was she was smiling out of malice. Especially Sebastian who was glaring at Clary with cold eyes. They were both brought out from their English lesson from the principal with Valentine behind her. It was better like that, their rehearsal was quite dramatic with Clary not wanting to kiss Sebastian on the scenes they did and her bitching against him all the time.
"You can come in now", Olivia Penhallow said, the school's principal. She was a middle-aged woman with fair, brown hair and brown eyes. All three of them in the waiting room rose up from their chairs and walked in to the small office. They sat down on the three chairs. Two on the left and one on the right.
"So, what's the reason of this meeting?", Mrs Penhallow asked tiredly.
"My daughter here says that this boy is treating her badly and I don't think that's a right thing", Valentine began, "it's the schools job to help their students against these kind of situations."
"Yes, that's right Mr Morgenstern, but your daughter hasn't reported anything so we couldn't stop anything that we didn't know about", Mrs Penhallow said calmly.
"I know that. That's why I'm here to change that", Valentine said sternly.
"Dad, seriously I don't want to be here, it's nothing", Clary said. She didn't feel comfortable to be in the same room as Sebastian and her father.
"Listen to Clary, she doesn't want to be here as much as I want to be here", Sebastian put in. Clary glared at him annoyingly.
"Shut up, I wasn't talking to you", Clary snapped.
"Well, it's because of you I'm here, right?", Sebastian smirked wickedly. Ugh I hate that look on his face.
"My ass it's my fault. If it weren't for you and your disgusting behaviour we wouldn't be here", Clary said. She realised she had said too much, almost revealing her secret.
"Clarissa, think about your language", Valentine said, "and what do you mean with disgusting behaviour?"
"Clary, you don't have to do this", Sebastian began, trying to save himself. Clary ignored him.
"No, you know what. I'll tell them what you did this Halloween. You couldn't even apologise for what you did, dick head", Clary yelled. She was angry and felt her veins vibrate. Her hands were shaking badly, but she ignored it, "you tried to fucking rape me and didn't even come to apologise."
Clary froze, she had said it out of anger. Olivia Penhallow sat in her chair with a serious face, looking at Sebastian with disgust. Valentine's face changed from blank to disgust to hate. He had heard everything. Clary could see how he tried to refrain himself from doing anything bad to Sebastian. Sebastian himself was sitting on his chair in shock, his face turning red.
"Excuse me", Mrs Penhallow broke the silence, "did I hear right?"
"No… Yes… Yes, you heard me once", Clary said angrily. She was still shaking out of frustration of Sebastian's rudeness. How dare that dick head behave like that?
"Sebastian, that's a serious crime you did, you know what that will mean to you right now?", Olivia asked Sebastian seriously.
Sebastian was quiet. "It's not my fault, Mrs Penhallow. I was drunk and didn't know what I did."
"Bullshit", Clary yelled.
"Clarissa your language", Valentine said before he turned to Sebastian, "you know that doesn't help you for what you did. The fact that you tried to rape someone is a crime. With or without alcohol."
"Yes sir, but I didn't know what I was doing. I don't even remember touching your daughter", Sebastian tried to convince Clary's father and their principal, "I would never touch your daughter without her permission."
Valentine and Mrs Penhallow glanced at each other, trying to communicate mutely.
"Can you two wait outside", Olivia asked, but it sounded more like a demand.
Clary and Sebastian nodded and went out of the office. They sat as far away from each other not saying a word. It was pure hate, Clary shooting daggers at Sebastian every time she caught Sebastian looking at her.
"This is your fault, bitch. You really had to say something."
"If you would be man enough and apologise what you did, we wouldn't be here, dick head."
Silence.
Valentine and their principal were sitting in the office for almost twenty minutes before Mrs Penhallow brought them in. Valentine was angrier than ever and didn't look directly at anyone. Clary and Sebastian took their seats. Clary hold her breath, they were waiting for the result.
"Sebastian, you'll be suspended from school until after the winter holiday", Mrs Penhallow finally said, "don't think we're going easy on you, you have detention for the rest of the school year as well."
Clary smiled.
