Clary:
I love the feeling of when your in a plane, high up in the air, yet still low enough as to see the ground. It's so comforting, seeing your life from a different perspective, looking down at the once towering building as if they are toys. Seeing your daunting school as a speck in a blob of green. It's like you can take a deep breath and say "I'm okay." It's like your in a parallel universe, watching the your crazed life from above, from a viewing point
It helps you realize, that exam you failed doesn't matter, the world won't end. This is what's running through my head as I sit strapped in the plane, staring dreamily down at Earth from the cloudy mist. I feel Jace's hand wrapped loosely around mine, indicating he is still asleep. I have my white earphones in blaring Sleeping with Sirens on repeat, something about their lyrics is so relatable.
I lean my head back on the headrest feeling the familiar vibration of the engine, considering we are seated in the back of the plane. My high school is having a school trip to London, some shit about experiencing new cultures and seeing what the world around us is like. Pretty much the whole school will be attending, including Sebastian. Which is terrifying.
I still haven't told Jace everything, I told him it was an old boyfriend, someone he didn't know. I know Jace would freak if I told him, and try to murder Sebastian. And if he did that Sebastian would know I told, and I might as well be dead. I just want for things to stay simple, like they are right now.
My lips quirk up at the feeling of Jace's thumb rubbing soft circles on my hand; he's finally up. Opening my droopy eyes I lean over and kiss him, right on the lips, in front of everyone. Shit! I inwardly curse, about to push away when Jace pulls me closer, wrapping an arm around my neck.
His lips are fast and passionate against mine, as if we are out of time and we can't waste any, but they are also gentle and caring, saying he loves me. As he kisses me I melt into a separate world; a world of just me and Jace. I completely forget we are surrounded by gaping classmates who have no idea we are together.
His hand tugs at my hair, pulling it out of it's ponytail, and I feel myself involuntarily shiver, goosebumps rising on my skin from his intoxicating touch. I pull away abruptly, breathing short and heavy. We had to stop at some point. My lips are still tingling.
"We're on a plane.." I let out, still trying to catch my breath. "Yes, yes we are." Jace mutters, grinning goofily as if I am the funniest thing he's ever laid eyes on. "What? Do I have something on my face?" I blurt out, cheeks reddening with embarrassment. "No, I just love you so much." He whispers, but loud enough that others can hear, considering silence has overtaken the plane after our scene. He grins again, pulling my now even redder face back in for another kiss.
His lips barely brush mine before I push him away giggling. "Still on a plane, Romeo." I say, trying to withhold a smile. "And your point is?" He questions, quirking an eyebrow. I shake my head laughing before grabbing his hand and leaning into the seat again.
"Hah I always knew Fray was easy, but never would've guessed total whore." A voice queers from two or so seats behind us. I don't even have to turn around to know who spoke, the voice driven into my head. Seelie. I want to curl in on myself, hide myself from her, from everyone.
"Oh Seelie, don't think I've forgotten about earlier this year when you said you'd pay me to sleep with you." Jace says sarcasm and fake happiness lacing his tone. The whole plane breaks out into laughter, the whole plane except four people: Seelie, me, Jace, and Sebastian. He sits diagonal from me, face hard, hiding whatever it is he is feeling.
He's onion I think, discreet and unreadable on the outside, but once you pull away a couple layers you're left with a smell and stinging sensation bad enough to bring you to tears. He is staring directly at me, stare unwavering, hard. I almost wish he looked angry or upset, not this emotionless stare. He looks lifeless, as if he's empty inside and all is left is the corpse.
I know he isn't empty though, there is fury running through his every vein, there always has been.
Simon:
They kissed. Clary and Jace. Jace the boy who has tormented me and Clary all year, who made her cut, who caused more sob sessions than I can count, who made her feel worthless. And she just kissed him. I was waiting for her, waiting for her to open her eyes and see we are meant to be. I feel like my heart has just been run over and torn to pieces. I waited too long.
I feel an unfamiliar sensation run through me, something like jealousy. Bitterness. I hate the way they are looking at each other, I hate him, I hate myself. I close my eyes as I feel them fill with watery sadness.
I love her. I always have. I just let her slip between my fingers, and now she's out of my reach. I have to get her back, if I don't I think I might die.
Sebastian:
She's looking at me. I'm still looking at her, masking my raging emotions. I smirk at her, as if saying: get ready. I'm getting her back no matter what it takes, I have to feel what it feels like to hit her again, to control her, to own her. She belongs to me, and if she thinks she can escape than she is sadly mistaken. Still staring her dead in the eyes, I crack my knuckles and lick my lips, smiling falsely at her before turning back to face my seat.
She has no idea what's coming her way.
