Whazzzaa the update I promised! Surprised? Yeah, me too. My MMA class legit kicked my ass last night and I think I broke my sparring partner… Anyways CARRY ON NOW WAYWARD SONS AND DAUGHTERS THAT AREN'T ACTUALLY MY CHILDREN!
Clary's pov
Jace almost got his car totaled. Just saying. As soon as he realized what was happening, he got out of the car and rushed to mine. Errr.. Sebastian's. He started pounding on the window and shouting at me to open the door. I totally complied. Not. I locked the doors and stuck my tongue out at him. Childish? Yes. Did I care? No. Did I regret it? Nope.
"Clary! Baby! Open the door." He yelled. Rolling my eyes, I shifted the car into neutral and waited. He stared at my face for what seemed like forever. Then came trouble.
Two guards, one of them being Mr. Broken jaw, came barreling through the door I had exited not even ten minutes ago. The dude who I had hurt had a severely swollen face and a permanent grimace of pain etched on his face. The other guy was pissed. They looked sort of like brothers… whoops.
"Clary! We have to go! Get out!" Jace started panicking. I snorted and cracked the window an inch.
"Correction: You have to go. I can handle myself. Get in your car and leave so I can leave." I explained slowly to him. He was slow sometimes.
"I'm not leaving you. Get out and come with me." He pleaded. The guys were right behind him now and advancing faster still.
I nodded, playing along. He so fell for it. Relief flashed across his face. I opened the door and stepped out. His arm immediately grabbed for my hand. Before he could clasp my wrist, Cripple (Mr. Broken jaw was a mouth full) rammed into him from the back, effectively crushing me against the car.
I pushed Jace off of me and toggled my feet, hands loose around my lower eye area. Guy 2 approached like a raging bull and threw a punch for my face. I ducked and put a knee between his legs, one hand gripping the back of his left knee and the right grabbing the right side of his waist. I pushed my head against his torso and lifted. I used my right foot to shift to the left and dump him over. I immediately moved in and rolled my shoulder into his jaw, effectively squishing his face to the pavement. If he moved, his jaw would shatter like Cripple's. (AN: My personal favorite takedown right there. ) Jace had knocked out Cripple with a right hook that send him flying backwards.
"Remind me to never mess with you…." He muttered. Snorting, I got up and elbowed Guy 2 in the temple. I didn't do it hard enough to kill, just seriously maim.
"Then go away." I snapped. His eyes popped open in shock, regret flickering into the picture as well before disappearing.
"Clary, I can explain." He pleaded.
"No need. I don't know what happened exactly but I have a vague idea. You took advantage of my damaged mind, which is even more fucked up now. It seems like, well from what I've heard, something you would do. I want to see my mother and you won't stop me." I explained. My emotions were shut down. I didn't care anymore. I'm done with this crap.
"Here. Take this." I said, holding out my engagement ring to him. He stared at it as if it was acid.
"That's not mine." He whispered voice hoarse.
"Yes it is. You bought it, you take it back. I'm done. I'll be by your apartment tomorrow to collect my things. Whatever this was is now finished." Tossing the ring to him, I spun around to get back in Sebastian's car.
"B-but you can't just leave." He sounded broken. Tough shit.
"Watch me. I'll be in contact with the police. I'll try my best to keep you out of it." Choke on that one bitch. I hope guilt consumes him whole. Niceness is the best way to get to someone. Be nice to them when they're terrible to you and karma does the rest.
"No. You can't just leave me. I need you." Did he even hear the bit about the police? And since when did Jace need me?
"No you don't. You need a reality check. I don't want to be dragged around by someone who's lying to me and purposely keeping me in the dark. I don't play that game. Got it?" I had been sitting in the car for a little while. When will this hellish day end?
"I'm sorry! I know what I did was wrong! I want to take it back. Every single bit! I swear!" Was that a tear I saw, Mr. Crocodile?
"Like the itch powder in high school? Or the rumor about me having sex with Mr. Winston to get an A on my chemistry exam? You can't fool me this time. I won't let you." Pride? Check. Emotions? Check. Old memories resurfacing? Check. Huh. I guess emotional distress was the key.
"You remember?" He asked. I nodded. He didn't even deserve my words right now. Or ever. Ever works too.
"Clary! Let me explain! Please!" Whine, whine, whine. Jeesh just shush already.
"If you ever cared at all, even if it was just a small itty bitty inkling of a feeling, get in your car and let me go. Don't come around me again. Just leave me alone." My silence finally cracked. Maybe he'll actually leave.
It hurt. It hurt a lot. When I hadn't remembered anything, I had grown feelings for him. Now my heart was being ripped to shreds. But I couldn't let everything he did go. I couldn't. I was better than succumbing to these feelings. I was stronger than that. But even as I thought that, A tear drop made it's way down my face as Jace slipped into his car and backed away.
DUN DUN DUN. IS JACE GOING TO FIGHT FOR HER OR DO AS SHE ASKS? IS THE WEDDING REALLY OFF? IS IT LOVE SHE'S FEELING? HOW WILL CLARY MOVE ON? OR WILL SHE EVEN GET THAT FAR? DO I ACTUALLY KNOW THE ANSWERS TO THE QUESTIONS I'M TASING YOU WITH? NO! So I should update soon. Maybe tomorrow. I definitely plan to update sometime this weekend though. Tootles.
