And I'm back!
I've decided I'm a generally slow updater and am going to try and fix that.
Yeah I did leave this on quite the cliff haven't I?
Also I've only got 11 chapters up... I have some writing to do.
On to the chapter!
I wish I could describe the look on his face when I saw him. He wasn't furious or sad, he just looked hurt.
And I know, I was the one to hurt his feelings, stupid, idiotic me.
That sudden feeling of tiredness within me was long gone. Shoving Jace away from me, he finally realized who had showed up.
"What the hell?" he turned to look at Will.
"Nice seeing you two here." Will eyed us both.
Seriously this had to happen of all the times...
"Please Will, sorry. Jace was just dancing with me, I asked him to." I chirp.
"Of course you'd ask Jace to dance with you. You want to be with Jace don't you? I'm not blind Clary."
Shocked, stunned, emotional crazed.
"Will stop please. We're friends." I plead.
Jace looked angry but kept calm, seeing my state must've worried the hell out of him.
"Clary..." Jace began,
"No; stop Jace."
Stop acting like a wimp! I yell at myself inside my head.
Pushing my hair back from my face I look around to make sure no one has noticed the scene we've caused, and luckily only Isabelle has her eyes on us.
The two of them are looking at me to say something and that's just what I plan on doing.
"That's it." Grabbing both of their hands I drag the two of them out of the room and into the kitchen were no ones at.
Releasing my grasp on both of them I turn around to start talking.
"I've had enough with the both of you. You know that I love you insanely too much and you're pushing me to chose one or the other; and you know what; I can't and I won't."
Dumbfounded I continue, surprising myself for speaking up so loudly.
"Jace I know you want to fix things and we can... as friends. Will I'm sorry I blocked you out its just hard, to be around you," and it feels like Jace. "And talk to you sometimes."
"Clary's right." Will says rubbing his eyes.
"We came here for a shadowhunter's reunion, not this."
Both of them look a little awkward being so close and having me with them, but I don't care, Will's right.
"From here on out we're friends. Everything that happened in the past is in the past so forget about it. Now I need to go find Tessa and sleep... so goodnight."
I march through them and go upstairs and fall against the wall.
Sighing I know I'm way to tired to stay up any longer and open the door to mine and Tessa's room.
"CLARY!" Isabelle scares the hell out of me.
"God Izzy! You scared me!" I push her aside and see Tessa sitting on her bed smiling at me.
"What the hell have you done?! Jace was begging on his knees for you!" Isabelle exclaims.
I groan. "How much did you see?" I knew I saw her watching.
"Well when Will showed up it looked like they were about to go at each others throats for you!" she yelled.
Flopping down onto my bed I close my eyes. "Listen I'm tired and dealt with them. There to stay away or be my friends," I open my eyes and look at Izzy, "and only my friends."
"But why!" she shrieks.
"Gah! Izzy I'm tired and have been put through way too much stress. Can we talk tomorrow morning? Ha. That'll be perfect, my mother and everyone else for breakfast. Gotta love the Carstairs for hosting this great event." I roll over and here Tessa laugh.
"Wow sarcastic Clary. It's been awhile since I've heard you talk like that." Isabelle chuckles.
Before I literally fall asleep I yell at them, "Sleep now, talk later, goodnight!" and I'm out like a light.
I hate mornings more than anyone else in the world.
"Umm... Clary?" someone speaks.
"Huh?" I sit up and almost knock my face right into Tessa's.
"Sorry!" Tessa looks embarrassed but I know my cheeks are turning red as well.
"Oh, oh my god what time is it?" I look for a clock and see it's roughly eight.
"I really didn't want to have to wake you, but everyone's having breakfast in a half an hour. The bathrooms right there to get ready in, I'll be downstairs if you need me."
"Thanks Tess." I say to her as she leaves.
Quickly getting up I run over into the bathroom and see a monster in the mirror.
"Well well, looks like we meet again." My red hair is messy curls surrounding my face and my body looks like a mess of black dress, which I regretfully did not take off last night after collapsing onto my bed.
After the fastest shower of my life, and some minor makeup for my face I feel as if I'm presentable enough to head downstairs.
Flatting out my new white top and jeans I realize I look very casual, and normal compared to yesterday.
I wonder if the black dress made me look provocative...
"Clary?"
"What?" I react to the sound coming from the door to our room.
"It's just me." Will's face appears.
"Oh, hey I'm coming down in a minute I just need to..." realizing what I was about to say Will looks at me differently.
Overnight my own created rune wore off, showing all of the runes I'd been so desperate to hide.
"Clary you're runes are back." He didn't look surprised.
"Yeah." I said quietly.
"Are you ever going to tell us how you've been hiding them? Or at least will you tell me?"
Awhile back when I told people that Magnus got rid of my runes I had been lying; and Will knew.
"I've... well I created a rune." I walk over to my bag and pull out the Steele.
On my arm I start drawing and Will watches me carefully.
After a couple seconds all of the black ink on my body was gone.
"Clary that's impossible." He looked stunned but happy at the same time.
"I know; I'm the only shadowhunter in existence that can create runes. It's not an easy process though..."
Walking around the room I grab my few belongings and make sure there all in my bag.
"Listen about last night..."
"Will I meant what I said. You should go downstairs, I'll see you in a few." My expression turned to stone in a matter of seconds.
I didn't want to be cold, or mean; just I needed some space. I didn't need any of that romantic crap; not yet anyways.
"Fine." He walked out of the room.
Sighing I sat down on the bed and pulled out my cell phone.
Calling Simon...
"Hello?"
"Hey." I spoke.
"Clary! Damn, you're up early. How's the visit going?" I know he thinks this is hilarious but I seriously need someone to talk to.
"Oh you know. Will, Jace and me all in the same room at the same time. Oh and not to mention Will knows how I've been hiding my runes. What about you?" I grin even though he can't see me.
"Well Ms. Fray that sounds fantastic, the sky is still blue here and no dramatic events have occurred... are you coming back now?"
"Breakfast with the "family" then I'll be back, popcorn and a movie tonight?"
"Hmm, sure. Listen I gotta run to class, later?"
"Alright later, love you." I make a kissy noise into the phone and Simon makes one back.
I wish it were easier saying I love you to other people in my life. Guess that day will take some time to achieve.
Walking over to the door I feel the cold metal up against my chest getting warm; my clockwork Angel.
Time for breakfast.
Alright! Well then this perked up my mood!
