Im so sorry for not having been able to update in so long. I feel so bad...I honestly did not have any time.
I had originally attend to write this for christmas but did not find the time to complete this. (So please pretend its winter and that we're back for the christmas feels!)
And I only found the time bc I am sick and off school. I just remembered how much I love writing fanfiction. And altho I cant promise u that i'll keep on updating regularly, I do promise I'll try to finish this story. Please dont hate me. Love, Addy. (Thanks for the support!)
Part One
Clary
I shake my head and rub my eyes, trying to erase the black circles under them. I am so tired. Yawning, I check the time on my watch: its 7:30.
Its currently December 18th and Jason's play is gonna be in two days. Needless to say that Jazz is pretty excited. He's been practically talking my ears off of every little detail. Still I smile, seeing my baby look so happy just makes me feel happy as well.
"Mom!" I hear Jason's voice before I see him. He's running, his blonde hair tousled, his expression frantic. Speaking of the devil, I think. But a very cute one, to be honest.
"What's wrong?" I ask just as he flops down on my bed, next to me.
"Have you seen my sceptre? I can't find it," he looks around.
"I'm sure I've seen it somewhere," I reply, frowning, and get out of bed. "Lets look for it, okay?"
He nods and together we search our (now big) apartment. We cover nearly half of our apartment, when I see something shine under the couch. I crawl and stretch my arm under it, trying to reach the cursed stick. "I have it!" A smile breaks on my face as I retrieve the golden ornament.
Jason hugs me and yells: "yay! You're the best!" Then, he darts away with the sceptre to put it back in his room.
"Jason!" I call.
"Yes," comes his distant reply.
"Didn't you promise me to help with breakfast, today?"
I can hear him groan from here, and smile.
Two Days Later
We are at Jason's theatre club, and the play is only minutes away. I smile at the buzz of people, coming by to watch it. Adele had promised to come. Jason and I arrived hours ago to prep everything.
"Mommy! Mommy!"
I turn around to see Jason running towards me. His eyes are wide and worried.
I take his hands. "Whats wrong?"
His eyes fill with tears and he looks two seconds away from sobbing.
He looks down. "I forgot my sceptre."
"Oh, no."
I stay silent whist Jazz sniffs loudly.
"What do you want me to do, buddy?" I ask.
"Can you bring it, please?"
I chew on my lip."I'm not sure there is enough time."
"Please, mom, I really need it."
He grabs my hands. "Mom, please. You need to get it!"
His puppy eyes do the trick. I sigh, "All right. Do you know where you left it?"
Jason's smile is huge. "I think I left it on my bed."
I nod and grab the car keys, heading towards the door.
"Be fast! It starts in thirty minutes!" I hear him shout.
The snow has thickened around the cars, and I stumble to the small one closest to me. When I put my feet down, they sink until the snow nearly reaches my knees. That's great.
Its freezing and my toes are going numb. I put my arms around myself to try to stop my shaking.
Finally I've reached my car. Opening the door uses all my strength as the snow is piled against it. There we go.
I insert the key, the engine rumbles and off we go! i clench my jaw all the way because driving on ice is dangerous, and I'm not exactly comfortable with the fact that the car could slide and lead me to my death.
Ten minutes later and I'm there, running out of the car. Unfortunately, I slip and fall on my butt, the ice soaking my jeans. Perfect, I sigh. It would have been funny if I wasn't in a hurry.
Quickly, I get in the elevator and press the button to my floor. The doors are just beginning to close when a heavily manicured hand shoots in between them, resulting in them opening again. I want to groan. A short lady with a scowl and so much make up on her face that I could paint a whole painting with it, enters. Oh, good. The insuferable Mrs. Lind. She is my nosy neighboor, always looking down on me.
I set my jaw and press the button that closes the doors.
"In a hurry, Ms Fairchild?" the horrible lady asks. She has one eyebrow raised, a sneer on her face.
I know that she disaproves of me being a mother and not married.
I grit my teeth. "Yes."
She soffs. Good for her.
The ride up is silent. I release a huge breath -one I didnt realise I was holding- when I got off thr elevator. I check my watch. Shit.
I run to my apartment, fumble with the keys and nearly fall on my butt. Again.
I probably look crazy running around Jason's room. He said it was on the bed. There are definitely no golden stick on this bed. What am I going to do?
Turning around to leave his room, to try searching in the living room, mt foot caught on one of Jason's toys and I sprawl on the florr. My elbow is bruised. It was really becoming a habit. Wincing, I kneel and find myself staring at the gold sceptre underneath Jason's bed. I almost laugh at loud.
Driving back, I feel like I'm missing something. I dismiss the feeling quickly, but it makes me uneasy.
A car going full speed drives past me, so fast it startles me. The wheel in my hand begin to turn and I stare in horror at the mass of snow on either side of the road. The one my car is currently plumeting to. I scream.
The shock throws me back, the seatbelt digging against my ribs. Ow. That hurts.
When I look at my window, its covered in snow. Which means that the car is stuck in it.
My tears threaten to spill. I am horrible. I cant get Jason's sceptre for him. I cant see his play. Hell, I cant even drive in the snow!
I unbuckle my seatbelt and wriggle to the back. Hopefully I can get out from there. With some pushing and tugging, I finally manage to pry the door open, and stumble in the snow.
I stare at the wreckage of the car, its actually not so bad, all things conisedere. Its just the mess I made.
A small cough startles me and I turn around.
"Excuse me, uh, do you need a ride?"
There. A small cliff hanger (pls dont kill me!) I promise that Part Two will be released soon.
I wrote the first AN, a couple days ago, when I started writing this chapter. At that time it was all true, I just want to update u guys. Well, now Im better but my school is closed for weeks bc of the corona virus. Its seriously making everyone crazy. Anyways I hope everyone is okay. (I also hope that my teachers will stop giving me so much work to do at home, its a pity) Have a good day!
