Okay, first I would like to thank Katherine for bring me so much and for buying me the new MORTAL INSTRUMANTS along with all the chocolate and flowers she's been bringing me =] love you girl ! I finally got my laptop into the hospital and I would like to thank all the amazing people who wished me to get better soon, and everyone who keeps reviewing, they mean the world to me while I'm stuck in a small room. They brighten my day.
JaceLover4eva - there's a reason that he says it, but you'll just have to carry on reading won't you ;)
I'd like to thank everyone who gave me idea's for what to put in the previous chapter and to Night Wolf who helped with all the gaming help. It was greatly appreciated. But I was a little brought down when I only got 4 or 5 reviews on the last chapter, I was hoping that maybe I would get more this time.
So with out further ado … I give you chapter 10
TEARS
CHAPTER TEN
Clary's POV
I hummed when I was in the car on my way to school, Simon was watching with slightly narrowed eyes.
"Why are you so happy?" he asked.
I shrugged, flashing him a grin as I drove into the school car park.
"just happy I guess, why?" I asked.
"Because I'm starting to think it should be made illegal for someone to be this happy before midday. It's him isn't it?" he grunted and unbuckled his belt and threw the door open, getting out and then slamming the door, making me jump slightly, a couple seconds later, I received a text.
What's the nerds problem this morning? - Jace x
I smiled and quickly wrote back that he was PMS-ing because he made me smile instead of him. I sent that with a kiss on the end and got my iPod out of my pocket, threading it through my top (it's something I do, even if I don't plan on listening to it) and pressing one bud into my left year.
Roller Coaster by Blink 182 came on and I smiled
Breathing deeply
Walking backwards
Finding strength to call and ask her
Roller coaster, favourite ride?
Let me kiss you one last time.
I nodded my head from side to side while walking into the school with my hands in my hoddie, humming along to the tune. I saw a smiled on Jace's face and started to move my shoulders. And I saw him chuckled while talking to one of his friends.
Cause I had that dream
About you again
Where you drive my car
Right off a fucking cliff
And now I'm,
Breathing deeply
Walking backwards
Finding strength to call and ask her
Roller coaster, favourite ride?
Let me kiss you one last time
Make me promi….
And then the bud fell from my ear as I went crashing to the floor, landing hard on my hand and spraining it. I hissed in pain as screechy cackling faded into the distance.
"Clary!" I deep voice called. I tried to push my self up and I saw Jace flinch and then falter as if he made to come over to me. He looked so confused, I shook my head slightly, as I pushed up, my hand gave out and I went crashing down to the floor, spilling the contents of my bag on the floor. Laughter echoed around the halls and I blocked it out as I felt arms wrap around my waist and lift me up, setting me on my feet. I saw black hair flutter around as he collected my stuff.
"Thanks Seb" I smiled from the corner of my mouth.
"Anytime, and your late" he smirked at me. "You said half seven, and it's ten past eight"
"I completely forgot, I'm so sorry." I apologised "How about we talk on the way to the nurses office" I said, wincing as I rested my arm on my bag. He nodded, then took my book bag off me and told me to hold my wrist close to my chest. I nodded and we walked and talked.
"Listen, I have a cousin coming to school tomorrow, and, well, I don't want her to get pulled into the wrong crowds, you're the most down to earth person I know, the most un-fake, if that's even a words. So could you maybe, I don't know, take her under your wing." he said, rubbing the back of his neck and looking uncomfortable.
"That's what the big news was?" I laughed.
"Well, yeah, that … and … um … I though, uh, maybe …" I stopped and looked like he was trying to figure out what to say.
"Maybe?" I prompted.
"Will you have coffee with me" he blurted. For someone so cute, it was cute to see a joke nervous around me, quite comforting actually. "I mean, just as friends" he amended, I smiled at him as we neared the nurses office. I turned to him and smiled.
"Sure, as friends" I kissed his cheek as he placed my bag on my other shoulder. I swear I saw him blush as I thanked him and then waved with my good hand and walked into the nurses office.
"Miss. Morgenstern, what can I do for you?" the plump old lady asked me.
"I sprained my wrist." was the only explanation I gave her, she knew I wasn't clumsy, she caught on and bandaged it up.
"I'd be careful of those feet in your way, tricky things to avoid" she winked at me. I nodded and gave a timid smile and then left. I saw Jace watch me all day, and even in gym when I couldn't do it, I jogged the track, well sprinted around it a couple times before I stopped to a walk and watched the players on the field. They were playing soccer and Simon was playing ref because he couldn't play soccer. I saw Sebastian look over and wave at me, then jog over and start to walk with me.
"Hey" he said when I didn't say anything.
"Hi" I nodded with a tight smile. I looked at my watch, then sneaked a peak at Jace, he was scowling at Sebastian. I looked away and then looked back at Seb. "Listen, I need to go, so, just point your cousin out tomorrow and I'll keep an eye on her. Bye" I waved with my good hand as I ran off, smiling softly at Jace as he smirked. I ran back to the changing rooms, not missing the glare I got off Simon either. I rolled my eyes at him and made my way to get changed. I saw Kaelie and ignored her.
"Aren't you going to say hi" she walked up to me and pushed me away from my locker. I clenched my jaw and squeezed my good hand.
Don't hit the skank. Don't hit the skank! I chanted over and over in my head.
"No" I said stiffly as I tried to get around her to my locker but she kept moving in front of me and blocking my path. I sighed in frustration. "I'm not going to hit you Kaelie" I glared.
"No, but I will" then a fist shot out past me and connected with her nose, the crunch was satisfying. I turned and smiled.
"Thanks Aline, you know you didn't have to." I said.
"I know, I've just been wanting to do that for a while, I did it for both of us." she squeezed my shoulder and walked off, I rolled Kaelie out of the way with my foot and started to get changed. when I was back in my jeans and sweater, I waved bye to her on the floor and walked off.
Art last, great. When I got there, since I could do any work, she made me go get a text book from the library and read about different artists. My phone beeped and I looked down, I had a text.
You okay? - Jace x
I smiled and looked at him over my shoulder, he smiled at me and I turned back to my phone.
Yeah, I'm fine. Kaelie's nose might be broken, Aline rocks! =] - Clary x
He chuckled a little loudly and I heard rapid typing.
I'm glad your okay :D she disserved it! I like seeing you smile, it makes my day - Jace x
Thanks - Clary xx
I smiled into the book and waited for the bell to ring. Since I couldn't drive home, Simon had to drive me home and then walk home, good! He didn't even sit with me at lunch, so I thought he disserved it. the rest of the day was normal, I did homework, I text Jace, Sebastian and I got an apology of Simon, I made my self dinner and sat at the empty dining room table, Luke was out on a date, not that I minded all the peace and quiet.
I decided to have a bath, I even lit a few candles and sunk into the bubbles. The stress just melted from me and I needed it. After being in there for a countless number of hours I heard the door slam. I sighed, getting out and drying off, I got dressed into the flannel pyjamas I had brought with me, throwing the towel and my clothes into the hamper. I padded into my bedroom, I turned all the lights off and lay down in bed, I was just about to drift off … when my phone rang. I picked it up and answered it with a very tiered hello.
"Hey beautiful" the melodic voice practically sang into my ear. "Did I wake you?"
"Five minutes later you would have, I was just dropping off" I said.
"Then I'd bid you good night my fair maiden. Sweet dreams, Ginger" I heard his soft chuckle as I hung up and drifted off silently to the dark abyss called sleep.
So this was mostly a filler to get the ball rolling for the next chapter where Sebastian's cousin comes into it. I'm not sure weather to create a new person or to have another character, let me know, the best description or reason will win and I'll dedicate the next chapter to you =]
Love you guys
Don't forget to review, they make me happy, and reviews are way better then Jace calling you beautiful. =]
Thanks guys
