Hey guys! Thanks for reading my story! I hope you all are safe, be careful.

Also from now on, I'll feature anyone who reviews on this story, from the last chapter I post.

So for chapter 10:

fanfvn18:This is really good. A bit cliche on the part of the jaw drop and looking like he seen a ghost. But that is what makes it funny as well. When can this next be updated? Thank you so much for your review! You're right, this story is a little cliche, but its fun anyways.

UnWrittenSunflower :Jace finally meet Jason, Omg. Great chapter Thank you! :) I appreciate your review!

Jling: So did she have to get a ride home from Jace? That must have been an awkward drive. I am dying to know what happened between those for the update! Your review actually inspired me for this chapter so thank you!

Annabel Jones: Nice! Keep up, I think it's nice to see Jace's arrogant attitude, he sounds more like himself. Also yesss, finally the first meeting between Jace and Jason! Thank you for your kind words :)

EmmaCBlackstairs: Great story Thanks :)

To these beautiful people, this chapter is dedicated to you.

Its a little chapter filler, before the real shit happens. Enjoy :)

I sigh and rub a painful spot just above my left eyebrow. Yesterday, when I left with Jason, I was so mad I hadn't even realised that my car was still stuck in the snow, halfway home.

"Mom, where's our car?" Jason asked.
I turned around and face-palmed. Shit.
Jason tugged on my arm. "What happened?"
"Uh, mom had a little accident," I said.
Jason narrowed his eyes at me. "What kind of accident?"
I gulped. "Nothing you need to worry about." I took his arm. "Come on, I'll call for a taxi."

I took my phone out to dial a tow truck first. I walked away so I wouldn't be under the gaze of Jason's observing, watchful one.
The man on the phone was pissing me off. "I said I need a tow truck now!" I argued.
"Its too late for us to be able to send a tow truck. You'll need to wait until morning," the man replied.
I pinched the bridge of my nose. "Don't you understand. I don't have time!" I huffed and ended the call.
I was going to call every single tow truck company in this city, until one would be able to come.
Whilst I was on the phone, it had started snowing again, and my hair was covered in small white snowflakes. Perfect, I sighted. Now my hair was going to be wet.

I turned to Jason. "Looks like the car is going to be stuck for a while. Don't worry," I added, seeing his worried expression. "I'm going to call a taxi so we can head home."
After a while, I had been waiting for five minutes but nobody was answering. God damn it.
"Do you need a ride home?"
I whirled around, Jace Herondale staring at me.
"Nope," I said. I tried to call one more time, Jace still staring at me. No one answered. I looked up to see Jace staring at me with a triumphant look. I glared back, sick of him.

I softly walk to the kitchen to pour myself a glass of water. Jason is still asleep. A glass in my hand, I think back through the events of last night. I was so mad, I remember. But once again, I had to have a ride with Jace Herondale.

"Come on, mom," Jason said. "Please?"
I could tell he was tired, and so was I. I took a deep, deep breath. "All right."
I turned to Jace. "Can you give us a ride, please?" I tried to put as little sarcasm as possible in my voice, but truth is, the acid dripping out of it was not helping.
I was a mother, a responsible adult. I wasn't going to act like a teenager over it.

The ride was awkward. I originally had wanted to ride at the back, like last time. But Jason was sitting there, next to Adele. So, I was left sitting in the passenger sit, next to Jace. I looked out the window, the only thing that made this all slightly bearable was that Jason and Adele seemed to be getting along well.
"Jason and Adele seem to really get along," Jace said, as if he could read my mind. I glanced sharply at him. He was staring straight ahead, focused on the road.
"You can bring him with you, if you want. I'm sure Adele will be glad to have some company," he added.
I looked suspiciously at him. "I'm serious," he laughed. "I am often busy and Kaelie isn't home much," he added darkly. I wondered why he was telling me this. We weren't buddy-buddy. He was my boss, for goodness' sake!
"All right," I said. "Jason doesn't have school on Wednesdays."
Jace nodded and pulled to a stop. I hadn't even realised we had arrived. "Terminus!" Jace said, earning a giggle from Adele and a smile from Jazz.
I unbuckled my seatbelt, and got out the car. I opened Jason's door. "Bye!" he said to Adele.
I took his arm and smiled at her. Turning back to the passenger door still open, I quickly said to Jace "Thanks." I closed the door and we walked to the lobby.

It's Sunday, tomorrow I have to go babysit Adele. I crawl back into my bed, wanting nothing more than to close my eyes. I still have two hours before Jason wakes up. Two hours of sleep.
My eyelids drop heavily. I turn around so I'm lying on my side, and tuck the covers up my chin. Comfortable.
Then, I fall asleep.


Of course it was never going to last.
My eyes shoot open and I stare into Jason's playful face. "Hey mom," he grins.
I groan and roll over. "Let me sleep. It's early," I mumble in my pillow.
"Its 10 and you promised you'd make pancakes today."
I sigh. "Okay I'll be down in five minutes." I turn over and rub my eyes open. Yawning, I get up and stretch. Jason smiles, kisses me on the cheek and darts out of the room.
I take a five minutes shower, the water dripping on my face and leaving me refreshed. Drying myself up quickly, I change into an old pair of jeans and a sweater.
A ponytail in my hand, I walk to the kitchen, effortlessly putting my frizzy hair into a messy bun, at the top of my head.
As I make my way to the kitchen, I remember when I first told Jason we were moving houses.

"Jason, what do you feel about moving to another apartment?" I had said.
He stared at me with wide eyes. "We're moving homes?" he asked carefully.
I smiled. "Yes!"
He laughed.

It had gone surprisingly well, more than I had expected. Now, Jason had a big room with plenty of space to have a lot of toys. Now, with my new salary, I can afford so much more than I used to. Jason and I go out to the restaurants a lot more than we used to do. It makes me so happy to see Jason with a sparkle in his eyes. Since Christmas is coming up, I was finally able to buy the Lego Harry Potter Hogwarts Castle, the one he always dreamed of making. Jason loves legos. He loves building things.
I crack two eggs in a bowl, add a tiny bit of oil and three tablespoons of sugar. Then I mix it all. I preheat the pan with another drop of oil, and add baking soda to my mixture. After that, I add flour and mix it, then add milk. If the dough is too liquid, I add more flour. If its too thick, I add more milk. It has to be a mixture of both, thick and liquid.
I spoon some of the dough on the pan and wait for bubbles to appear. Once they start to pop, its time to turn them over.
The smell is so good, I take one of the pancakes on the plate and start eating it plain. It's pure bliss.
Jason comes in the room. "Yum, it smells so good."
I smile and ruffle his hair.


Hope you enjoyed. Review :) Also did you see how I just gave you my pancake recipe? Its just so good! :)

I know it was short and frankly a little boring but, hey, my teachers give us a LOT of hw.

Also I know its hard rn. With the corona virus a lot of schools have been shut down, countries have been into lockdown. I hope you're all okay. Stay safe.
