A/n Umm… So yeah, I honestly have no excuse. Here you go. I tired to make it as long as I can make…
Disclaimer 1: As someone who has been bullied, I know that a love story between a bully and a victim can not be this easy. As seemed from the platforms name, it is just a fiction. But I also want to say, this love story between Clary and Jace is not going to be that easy. I also want to note that, Jace is not exactly a bully, but more of a tease. People like Sebastian are bullies. You haven't seen a lot of Sebastian scenes, but he gets physical with his victims, thus making him the real bully. But Jace being just a tease, doesn't mean that the relationship between Jace and Clary is going to develop that easily. Note that even though Jace is not exactly a bully, he and Clary are not the bestest friends. So there is going to be some drama between them. I just want to say this to people who got bullied: I have been bullied heavily since I even began elementary school, so don't take this story as disrespect, because believe me, I would have want every bully in the world to understand their mistakes and befriend or fall in love with people they did unfairness to; but life is not that easy, and as I wrote before, this is just a fiction.
With all respect,
The author of the story.
Disclaimer 2: I don't own the TMI, but the very stupid plot.
Clary was sitting in front of her mirror, without any emotion on her face. Only the tears in her eyes conveyed how she was feeling at that exact moment. She couldn't understand how someone could be this bad.
Bad enough to threaten you with your biggest secret.
Closing her eyes, letting a tear slip, she thought back to what Sebastian told her.
Flashback-
Clary silently and cautiously followed Sebastian, carefully putting a safe distance between them. She wanted to cry, scream or yell, do something to let the anger and frustration get better off her. But first she needed to know what Sebastian wrote that note for.
What was in that wicked brain of his.
Sebastian, however, looked really calm, unlike Clary who's shoulders began aching from tensing so much.
Sebastian turned the corner of the street, humming a melody and not looking back to see if Clary was following.
Clary stopped at the corner. She didn't know what Sebastian may have been planning.
But she collected all her courage, slowly inhaling as much as air as she could, as if she was entering a vacuumed space and wouldn't be able to breathe.
And slowly, she turned towards dark alley that Sebastian had led them to.
Sebastian, watching Clary, crossed his arm, his face overtaking with something between a grin and a smirk.
Unlike Jace, who's grin would look cool and collected, Sebastian's looked like he was planning on taking over the world.
She could see what people saw in Jace, he was handsome, cool, hot, and polite when needed.
But she couldn't see that in Sebastian. He looked like he sold his soul to the devil, she wouldn't be surprised if he hid a portrait in his attic, showing all the ugliness and crimes he did, with an ugly scowl, similar to something out of Dorian Gray's portrait.
"So?" Clary asked, surprising herself with strength in her voice; she thought it would be trembling, but she was too angry for that.
"So?" Sebastian mocked her. His smirk grew larger at Clary's frown that was more of an angry look, as if she was going to attack him like a cat. " Gosh, don't look at me like that, who got your knickers in a twist?"
Clary gave a murderous look to him before crossing her arms, Sebastian mimicking her.
"How did you get ahold of this information, ab- about my fath-" Clary stuttered a bit, " Valentine?"
The evil glint in Sebastian's eyes grew brighter if it was possible, giving him a look that suggested to stay away from him, preferably a few miles.
"Well, lets say I have a lot of connections, and with the snap of my fingers," he snapped his fingers in front of Clary's face to emphasize his point, " I get the information I want."
Clary scoffed.
"And the information you wanted, was about me, and my past?"
"Hold your horses woman," Sebastian said, talking as if they were discussing the economy and not the fact he was threatening her, and she didn't know what for.
"I found this information," he reached out his hand to touch Clary's hair, which she aggressively slapped, but it didn't make Sebastian frown, he didn't even seemed fazed by this, " to get to know you better, something innocent if you ask me."
"Oh well, that is called stalking, if you didn't already know. And for you, everything is innocent and pure, like raping." she spat "But I am not here to chit-chat with you or discuss your behavior with you. All I want to know is, what are you on? This topic is a sensitive zone for me, and I don't like discussing it. With anyone. Especially you. And I already have people hating on me for no reason at all, and I don't need people come for me, for m-my Father." She exhaled harshly, which sounded like more of a pant.
"Oh well I know, my dear, it is something that you would want to stay with unknown by others, and you would do anything to keep it a secret," he slowly said, his breath tickling her face. She hadn't even realized that he had come closer "and that is the exact reason why I chose it."
At his words, Clary slowly became frantic, afraid of his next words to come, " And if you don't want anyone to know about it, we can make a deal. You do things I am going to tell you next, and your secret will stay with me." Clary opened her mouth to tell him to fuck off, but Sebastian shushed her.
"Now, now my dear. Even if you refuse to obey my rules, I am afraid I will have to be harsher. When I want, I can be really persuasive."
Clary shivered from terror of his words, but hugged herself in order to make it look like it was from the cold.
"And-" she realized her voice was trembling at this point, " are your stupid rules?"
Sebastian seemed to be satisfied with Clary's reaction so he simply began listing his rules.
"First," he said putting his index finger up " you need to date me."
As Clary was opening her mouth to protest, half frozen with terror, a strong voice, much stronger then Sebastian's, echoed through the brick walls of the dark alley.
"Enough. I heard everything."
Jace.
"I heard everything Sebastian, and I knew you were a big bastard, but didn't know you were this big of a bastard. Threating her to date you, with I don't know what kind of family secrets? Really?" Jace looked at Sebastian with fire in his eyes, and boy did he looked pissed.
Sebastian, who's face had been changed into an ugly shape, looked at Jace with disgust.
"Ah, the knight in shining armor arrived to save the day, lovely." He pointed at Jace. " You won't be able to change anything in my –what I like to call- master plan of sort. You always," he added with venom in his voice "got what you wanted, and now it is my queue! And you think you got Clary too? No, I won't let that happen. Clary is going to be fucking mine!"
Before Jace could response to that, Clary began yelling. She couldn't believe this motherfucker had the audacity to talk like this, telling how who she would 'belong to'.
"You look here son of a bitch! I don't belong to anyone, and will never belong to any man! And if you mean by dating, first of all, I am not dating Jace, and he does NOT want me! Second of all, you will never even have a chance with me, even if you cut your arm for me!" Clary spat at him, finally finding a release to her anger that was built inside her.
"Oh well then Clarissa, then you are stupid-"but before he could finish his words, Clary kneed him in the balls, not forgetting to slap him across the face, satisfied with the red spot her hand left behind.
Sebastian shot his head up, and lifted his hand. Clary suddenly stopped breathing, he was going to slap her.
But even before his hand could come down, Jace was suddenly there, and he took hold of Sebastian's lifted hand and punched him in the stomach. Sebastian looked like he wanted to fight back, but he knew in his current state, he could just defend and not attack. So he slowly backed up from the alley, back to the street, but with one last disgusted and venomous look to Jace, and said his last words to them.
" Clary, Clary, you are really oblivious, huh? You can't see that Herondale is pathetically in love with you? And You Jace Herondale! I am going to kill you." He smirked, which was surprising after his current state, "and maybe you can meet Clary's father there, huh?"
With on last wink at Clary, and a hand movement that showed "I will be watching you", he disappeared. And with that Clary's brave persona melted away, leaving a very angry and frightened Clary. She slowly backed away to the wall and began crying. Jace stayed there with her, hugging her tightly all the time Clary sat there, having a panic attack, unable to hear Jace's comforting words.
End of the Flashback—
Thinking back at the last two hours event wasn't the best thing to do after all, Clary found out. But it was too late. She had already started hugging her knees to her chest, unable to breathe or see. She was again having a panic attack, but this time Jace was not there.
A/n I honestly did NOT plan this chapter like THIS. SO I was planning that Clary would be forced to date Sebastian for the next 2 or so chapters, but I changed my mind as I was writing. Now I have to make some changes in my summary of this fanficiton, but I think it is worth it. But this was needed to improve Jace and Clary's relationship, and bring them together. If you don't like something, please note it in the reviews, I want this story as good as it can be. Thankss :)
