Hey guys I'm back :) So I don't know what to say other than I did get 72 reviews this time I am not going to worry about the reviews though I will post again even if I don't get any reviews at all. I didn't realize that the reviews don't really matter. I am writing for myself so yes I enjoy the reviews and I even enjoy the negative ones but I am writing for my own enjoyment thank you hopelessromantic1599 for making me realize that. :) Anyway here is the next chapter :) ~M


Jace's POV

My fingers are laced with Clary's as we make our way outside to greet my mother. I don't know why I am so nervous but I am.

I feel myself start to shake and I try to stop but it won't. Clary must realize cause she squeezes my hand.

"Hey it will be ok Jace." She tells me.

"I know. I don't know why I am so nervous I mean it's just my mom but I am Clary." I tell her letting go of the tuft guy act.

"It will be ok Jace. We are in this together now ok?" Clary says pulling me to a stop just before we went outside.

"OK. Right we are together." I say letting out a shaky breath.

"It will be ok I promise." She says and gets on her tip toes and kisses me lightly.

When she pulls back she gives me a sweet smile and in-twines our fingers again.

"Let's go." Clary says and we start walking again.

When we get outside I see two medium sized moving trucks and a car. I know the car is my mothers.

"Come on Clary that's my moms car." I say and we walk over to the car where my mom had just pulled up.

She gets out of the car and didn't see us at first. She turns around and she sees me and a big smile spreads across her face.

"Jace!" She screeches.

"Mom. How have you been." I say as she runs around the car and wraps her arms around me.

"Good, how have you been Jace? Do you like the school? Have you made friends already? Oh who is this Jace?" My mom says in a rush.

"Mom how about you breath a little. This is Clary we have been dating since well three days after I got here. The school is nice but like most high schools. Umm and yeah I guess I have made friends I mean I have meet and played a game of truth or dare with some of Clary's umm friends and not so friends." I tell her smiling a little.

"Well have the family that is keeping you nice and am I going to meet them?" My mom asks me.

"Oh well they are actually going to be our neighbors their house is right there. Plus you have already meet one of the people who live there." I say and my mother looks at me then at Clary and back again.

"Wait you live next door?" She asks Clary.

"I do now as of like a week ago. My parents were murdered about a week ago and all of my siblings are dead and same with aunts and uncles and grand parents. So I moved in with my best friend and her mom decided to adopt me so now I have a new mom, sister and two brothers." Clary explains also pointing at the house.

"Actually if you want I can go get my little brother and my sister. My mom and older brother aren't here right now." Clary says.

"Ok that would be great." My mom says. Clary nods and turns to leave.

"Wait let me go with you if that's ok with my mom." I say grabbing Clary's hand again.

"Sure go ahead just come right back." Mom say smiling and going over to the moving guys.

Clary's POV

"Jace your mom is really nice." I say as we walk back inside my house to get Izzy and Max.

"Yeah she is. She can be a bit mean when it comes to work though." Jace answers as we stop at the bottom of the stairs.

"Yeah hang on." I say then turn towards the stairs.

"ISABELLE, MAX GET DOWN HERE SO WE CAN GO MEET OUR NEW NEIGHBOR. WHICH IS JACE'S MOM!" I yell.

"OK CWARWY I BE DOWN IN A SECOND!" I hear Max yell back.

"CLARY I WILL BE DOWN IN A SEC LET ME FINISH MY HAIR! OH AND ALEC IS STILL HERE SO CALL HIM AS WELL!" Izzy yells.

"OK THANK YOU! ALEC IF YOU AREN'T AWAKE GET UP WE NEED TO GO MEET JACE'S MOM WHO IS OUR NEW NEIGHBOR!" I yell again. I look to Jace and he has a hand over the ear that is closet to me.

"God Clary I think you busted my ear drum." Jace says.

"Oh sorry baby let me kiss it better." I say and lean up and touch my lips to his ear. Then whisper, "All better now right?"

"Yes. Thank you." Jace says while a smile creeps onto his lips.

"You are very welcome." I say as Max comes running down the stairs.

"I'm ready!" Max says with a big smile.

"Good Max will you go get Alec for me?" I ask him and he nods and runs off again.

Izzy comes down the stairs a minute later.

"OK I am ready where is Max?" She asks.

"He went to get Alec." I answer.

A minute later Max comes running downstairs again.

"I got him he is coming." Max says out of breath.

Alec comes down the stairs and from the looks of it he just woke up cause he still had a bed head.

"Alec for god sake brush your hair." Izzy says running over to him and fixing his hair.

"Isabelle stop. I look fine." Alec says pushing Izzy a little.

"Oh you did not just full name me did you Alexander?" Iz says stressing his name.

"Yes I did Isabelle now if we can please stop with the names Iz." Alec says.

Izzy nods and I roll my eyes.

"Ok guys we are going next door to meet our new neighbor which just so happens to be Jace's mom so please don't be arguing in front of her." I say and I see Izzy and Alec roll there eyes.

Together they said, "Yes mother." I roll my eyes and laugh a little.

"You know if you were two years younger or if Iz was two years older ya'll could be twins." I say and this earns me a punch to the arm from Alec and a smack from Izzy.

"Come on." I say and Jace grabs one of my hands and Max grabs the other.

I smile and together we walk outside and over to Jace's driveway where his mother is telling the moving guys where to put things.

"Mom come meet the rest of this bunch." Jace says nodding to us.

"Oh yes hang on." His mom says and she comes over to us. Izzy and Alec were standing behind Jace, me and Max. Now Max is hiding behind my leg like he did the first time he meet Jace.

"Hello my name is Cecilia nice to meet ya'll if you wouldn't mind introducing me Clary." She says to me.

"Of course. This one is Max he is a little shy and my youngest brother. The guy behind me is Alec he is my over protective older brother and then the girl next to him is Isabelle but she prefers to go by Izzy and she is my sister and best friend." I tell her.

"Well it is nice to meet ya'll and how old are each of you?" Cecilia asks.

"Well I am seventeen and so is Izzy. Alec is nineteen and Max is nine." I answer.

"Wow ya'll aren't that far apart other than Max are ya'll?" she asks.

"No mam we aren't." Alec says with a nice smile.

"Actually if Clary hadn't just told me your ages then I would have asked if you and Izzy are twins." Cecilia said with a small laugh.

"Yeah we get told that a lot. Sorry but I need to go my boyfriend is waiting on me. Clary I will be at Si's house if you need me. It was good to meet you Cecilia." Izzy says then she runs off to her car and leaves.

"I actually need to leave as well. Cecilia I'm not here often but it was nice to meet you." Alec says but he doesn't leave like Iz.

"Why aren't you here often Alec do you have a house of your own or are you in college?" She asks and I turn so I can see Alec.

"Well Cecilia I actually live with my boyfriend. Now if you will excuse me Magnus is getting worried he has texted me like twenty times. Max give me a hug." Alec says and Max leaves my side and hugs Alec then returns.

"Clary I am glad I can say you are my sister now. I have always thought of you that way anyway. I will visit again soon or you can come visit me and Magnus." Alec says giving me a hug.

"And Jace be good to my sister and remember if you hurt her you are dead. It was nice to meet you Cecilia." And with that Alec turned and got in a car that had pulled up. I can see Magnus in the drivers seat and I wave then turn back to Cecilia.

"Well it was nice to meet ya'll but can I ask something?" She says.

"Sure." I answer and look at her.

"So Alec is...gay?" She asks and I sigh.

"Yes he is but please don't judge him he has had a ruff life." I say.

"Oh no I would never. Can I ask a couple of questions though?" She asks me.

"Sure."

"How old was he when he told his parents, and how long has he been gay, and how long has him and this Magnus guy been together?" She asks all three.

"Well I have known Alec was gay since I was in seventh grade and he was in ninth. Izzy found out a year after I did. He told our parents when he was a senior in high school almost two years ago. He told our mom on his eighteenth birthday. Alec and Magnus have been together hidden since Alec was in eleventh and Magnus was a senior. So about three years now." I say smiling at the end.

"Wow why did he wait so long to tell her?" Cecilia asks and again I sigh.

"Well he was scared of what people would think and he was scared our mom would kick him out. I only found out cause I asked him about it." I say and Max pulls on my sleeve.

"Cwarwy I hungry." He says in a baby voice.

"Well if you talk like a big boy maybe Jace and I will take you out for lunch." I tell him smiling down at him.

"Ok I promise no more baby talk...well for now." He says smiling and jumping up and down.

"Well mom it looks like I am taking my girlfriend and her little brother to lunch. I will be back soon have fun with the moving guys oh and I want the room that has that window." Jace says pointing to the window on the third floor that faces my room.

"Ok sweetie ya'll have fun." Cecilia says giving Jace a hug.

"It was nice meeting you Cecilia." I say.

"Same for you. Jace, Clary if ya'll wouldn't mind later I would like ya'll to help set up whatever the moving guys don't." Cecilia says smiling slightly.

"Of course mom see ya later." Jace says and he grabs my hand and again Max takes the other.

"Come on boys lets go get some food. We can take Alec's jeep since we won't all fit on the bike." I say and together we walked off to Alec's car.
