Fifty Ninth One Shot:
Actress
Clary POV:
I got my big break when I was 13. It wasn't anything too over the top, but I got a job to act in a commercial, and I was over the moon happy. I wanted to start getting jobs a lot younger than that, but my mom always told me that it would have been hard to get a job as a child actor, and I trusted her. But once I turned 13 she had allowed me to go to a couple auditions, and by sheer luck, I got a call back, and I've been in the business ever since.
My acting career took off after that commercial, but my life also changed dramatically, and it kinda threw me off as a person. I kept acting, and pursuing my dreams, but there was definitely a difference in jobs that I got. I stopped getting jobs that required me to be extremely peppy, and got more of the roles that were suited for characters who were shy, and quiet, or characters who basically said 'fuck you' to the world, and lived a very lonely life, but I wasn't complaining. I had jobs, and I was still acting, so it was all the same to me.
When I was 18, I was offered a part in a movie series that was being adapted from a book series. It was my first job that had a very promising future, with potentially huge box office numbers, and a following that exceeded my wildest expectations. That movie changed my life, but not purely for the movie, but also in my personal life. My character was a girl who lived a seemingly ordinary life, who had two loving parents, a sister, and friends that everyone wanted. My character got straight A's, and was the captain of the soccer team, and basically a shoe in for a scholarship to a major university. My character had it all, until the new boy moved to town. He was mysterious, and the epitome of a bad boy, but something intrigued her about him, and vice versa.
The movie went from the time I was 18, until I was nearly 25. It had taken along time to make, especially considering there were 5 movies that needed to be made, but there was such an incredibly response from everyone, that working on a project for that long was totally worth it. My relationship with my co-star was another thing all together. We were love interests in the movie, but at one point, it moved beyond the screen and into real life. He was kind, and funny, and smart, and athletic, and pretty much everything every girl wants in a man. The only problem? We lived in two different countries. I lived in America, and he lived in England. The long distance was tough, but we made it 4 strong years together, until one day, it was just over. It had been my first official heartbreak, and it took me some time but I got over it.
Since our ending, I continued to work on movies, but not just acting. I had actually been getting into the directing side of things, and he started dating some model. Our lives were clearly at two different stages, and hey, maybe we weren't made to work out, but that doesn't mean I didn't enjoy the time we had. It's been about 5 years since that movie wrapped, and 5 years since I've spoken to him, but I still wish him the best of luck in everything he does, and I do go see his movies, and whatever show he ends up in, and he's still just as fabulous of an actor that he was during the movie, which didn't surprise me at all.
Which brings me to present day. I was currently in the middle of directing an original screenplay that was supposed to make box office history for a director on their first film. To say I was shocked when this idea was picked up would be an understatement. I wanted to make a story that was relatable, and depressing, and kinda seems like the main character can't catch a break, but also make it inspiring, and when I pitched the idea, everyone was immediately drawn to it. They couldn't wait to start writing the script, and casting everybody, and to know that a piece of my work was making people this excited, was mind blowing.
The thing about this piece was, it was an autobiography of my life. The events, and the feelings, and the struggles were all pulled from my personal experiences. Nobody knew that though. I kept that a secret because I didn't want anyone to have that kind of pressure on them when creating this film. I wanted them to give me their best work, and I don't think they would have performed up to their abilities if that weight was hanging over them.
The script was finalized last week, which meant that we were about to start the casting process, and I was a nervous wreck. I wanted to cast the perfect people, and part of me was afraid that I wasn't going to find them. I was sitting in the office with my producer, my executive producer, my production manager, and my script supervisor all waiting for the first person to be brought back. The door finally opened and in walked the first girl.
"Hi, what's your name?" I asked.
"My name is Helen Blackthorn." She responded.
"Hello Helen, can you just give me a little background on yourself and your career?" I asked and she nodded.
"I started acting when I was around 11. Nothing big, just commercials, and small appearances on shows. This is actually the first big audition that I've come too, so I'm a little nervous." She admitted, and I felt like I would have kept that part out, but I was happy with her honesty.
"How old are you Helen?" I asked.
"I just turned 18." She said and I nodded.
"And how would you feel if we cut and dyed your hair?" I asked.
"I wouldn't mind it at all. I've always wanted to do something different, but never really had the guts." She said with a smile.
"Okay Helen, this movie is pretty dark, and deals with a lot of heavy topics. Do you feel like you are mature enough to handle that?" I asked.
"I've always been told I'm mature for my age. I feel like whatever you throw at me, I'd take and do my absolute best to portray what you wanted on set." She answered and I nodded.
"Okay Helen, I'm going to have you read off a few lines for me." I said as I handed her the script. "Page 56, line 13." I said and she flipped through and found the page. "Begin."
Helen began to read the lines, and I was impressed that she only looked at the script a couple times, which shows that she picks up the material easily. After she was done I took the script back and she left the room. I looked around at my staff and took a deep breath.
"I like her." I said and everyone laughed.
"She's only our first girl Clare, we have many more to go." My producer said and I nodded.
Time Jump – Three Weeks Later
Clary POV:
Throughout the course of 3 weeks, we had auditioned hundreds of girls. But for some reason, I couldn't get Helen out of my head. There was an innocence to her, that I had when I was a young girl, and I felt like she portrayed exactly who I was growing up, and I felt like she could really dive into whatever role I give her, and express those emotions perfectly.
The next morning I walked into the office and gathered my staff. We all met in the conference room and I after a moment I decided to speak.
"I want Helen Blackthorn to play the lead." I said and their eyes widened.
"Seriously?" My producer asked.
"When writing this script, she is exactly how I envisioned the main character to be." I explained, mainly because she reminded me so much of myself. "I think she could be absolutely amazing, and I want to give her that chance to shine and prove to the world that commercials, and little cameo's aren't all she's good for. It's a risk, but so is this movie, and you all believed in me."
"Okay, so Helen gets the job, now onto the rest of the cast." My producer said and I nodded.
"I'm going to go give her a call." I said as I exited the room. I pulled out my phone and dialed the number of her agent.
"Hello, Helen Blackthorn's agent, who am I speaking with?" The woman on the other end answered.
"My name is Clary Fray, and you client auditioned for my upcoming movie, and I was just calling to inform her that she got the part." I said and the other end was silent. "Hello?"
"You're serious?" The woman asked.
"Very. I would love for Helen to come in sometime this week so we could talk more, and get the ball rolling on this." I said and there was a scream at the other end.
"Helen! Get in here!" I heard and I couldn't help but laugh. "You got the part!"
"No way!" I heard in the background. "Ahhhhhhh!"
"I'm glad you're both excited, and I can't wait to meet with you, and I look forward on working together." I said.
"Thank you so much. This means everything to Helen." The woman said.
"I'll have someone email you with details, and when to met." I said. We said our goodbyes and I took a deep breath. I felt good about this. Really good.
Jace POV:
I was sitting on the couch looking up possible job opportunities and auditions that I could go to. I haven't had a project in about 6 months, and I figured the best way to get out of this funk was to go and audition and hope I get a call back. Most of the TV shows, or movies coming out weren't really what I was interested in, until I came across this one description that instantly captivated me.
Nowhere Girl:
This story follows a young lady by the name of Catie, who at a young age realizes that life isn't all rainbows and butterflies. Her life takes a hard hit when she starts viewing herself in a negative light and heads down a path where few have been able to escape. On top of dealing with self-esteem issues, her mother is fighting a battle all her own, and when a certain bad boy enters her life, will she be able to handle the pressure or will she ultimately be another victim in life's cruel and unfair game.
I couldn't help but want to be play that bad boy, I may be older than what they wanted, but I still looked incredibly young, and was able to play young parts. I thought the plot was incredibly intriguing, and I couldn't believe that Alec hadn't heard of this job yet. It was set to be one of the biggest movies of the year when it comes out, and Alec was always in the loop when it came to big blockbuster hits like this. I closed the laptop and went upstairs to find Alec and figure out who I needed to call in order to get this part. When I knocked on his door, I heard the footsteps and a minute later it was opened.
"What's up Jace?" He asked.
"I found a movie that still casting that looks absolutely amazing, and I just need you to call and set something up." I said as we walked downstairs.
"Which movie?" He asked.
"It's called 'Nowhere Girl' and I read the description and I have to be apart of it." I said and he sighed.
"I already told them no Jace." He said and my jaw dropped.
"Why would you do that? You didn't even ask me." I said a little annoyed.
"Did you happen to read anything else about that movie?" He asked and I shook my head. "The director, it's Clary."
"Clary Fray? She's directing it?" I asked and he nodded. "Since when is she a director?"
"Since she wrote the script for the movie." Alec said and my eyes nearly pop out of my head.
"She wrote it?" I asked and he nodded.
"I got the email last week. They were looking to cast the bad boy, and I emailed them back with a polite decline, and they said thank you for considering and there were no hard feelings." Alec explained.
"That sounds like Clary." I said as I rubbed the back of my neck. She was always really understanding.
"I should have told you, but I figured I wasn't going to open that can of worms again." Alec said and I nodded.
"I appreciate it man, but that role just sounded so good. And that movie sounds amazing." I said and Alec smiled.
"Yea. I don't know if I'm really allowed to tell you this, but Magnus is her Executive Producer, and he says the script is one of the best he's ever read, and this movie will without a doubt win an Oscar or a SAG Award." Alec said and I took a deep breath.
"It's that good?" I asked.
"Magnus can't really tell me much, but he was reduced to tears when reading it. And Magnus doesn't cry." Alec said and I couldn't believe it. "It's one of the most depressing stories Magnus has ever worked on, but he thinks the message is the most powerful thing he's ever read."
"Wow. I guess that means I'm going to have to go and see it." I said and Alec laughed.
"Magnus is taking me to the premiere. Maybe he can snag an extra tick or two for you and Kaelie." Alec said, and just the sound of my girlfriends name wasn't pleasing. We had been dating for about a year and a half now, but I didn't know why. She was constantly traveling, and when she was around all she did was complain. It made no sense why we were still together, but we were.
"Yea, or I could go with Izzy." I said and he glared at me.
"Break up with her dude. You don't even like her." Alec said and I sighed.
"We're never together long enough to bring it up. And I'm not going to be that douchebag that breaks up with a girl over a text." I said and Alec shook his head.
"I get it man, but you aren't happy, and we knew she was never going to be the one you settled down with." Alec said.
"Please don't start with this again." I said.
"I'm just saying Jace, you had a good thing, and you ended it." Alec said referring to Clary.
"We were young. We weren't thinking about settling down." I explained.
"Yea, and you're 30 years old, and not getting any closer to that dream family you've been wishing for since you were 10." Alec said. "Look, I'm leaving for LA tomorrow night. I'm meeting with Magnus, and I'll try and find you some work out there for right now. You need to get out of this funk."
"I appreciate that man." I said and he nodded and went back upstairs.
I took a seat back on the couch and turned on the TV. I wasn't looking for anything in particular, but I just wanted to distract my mind from Clary. Alec was right, Clary and I had an amazing relationship, but in the end we just didn't work, and I don't know if I'll ever regret not trying hard enough, but I haven't been able to find someone who made me feel like she did, and that was something I missed more than anything.
Time Jump – One Year Later
Clary POV:
"Okay everyone, this is the final scene!" I yelled and the whole cast and crew cheered. "Okay, ready, and action!" I yelled and they started filming. I was incredibly proud of all the work that had gone into this film, and I couldn't wait for it to be in the theaters, and getting the recognition that I think it deserves, especially with the serious topics that people don't like to talk about in society. "AND that's a wrap! Good work everyone!" I yelled and the whole place started cheering.
I walked over and gave Helen, and Julian a hug. They had truly been the best lead roles that I could ever imagine and I was happy that I gave them this chance to break out of their molds, and do something different, and show the world that they are capable if they give them a chance.
"Thank you two for bringing this story to life, and giving it meaning, and making it heart wrenching and inspiring." I said as I pulled away. "You made this movie what it was supposed to be, and what I imagined when I wrote it, and I couldn't be more proud of how far you two have come."
"We couldn't have done it without you." Julian said. "You pushed me farther than I thought was possible. You gave me a shot to prove that I can do this, and you taught me more about myself, and who I am as an actor than anyone has ever before."
"You gave me a shot in this industry." Helen added after Julian was done. "I was forever known as the girl in the cheerio commercial, and the random girl who was in every episode of every drama for 10 minutes." She laughed. "You believed in me, and you allowed me to grow as a woman, and as an actor."
"You two are extremely talented, and I can't wait to see what you accomplish in the future after this movie. I know whatever it is, will be absolutely amazing." I said and they smiled. "If you ever need anything, don't be afraid to give me a call."
"Thank you Clary." They both said in unison, and I smiled and walked away. I was making my way to the office when someone linked arms with me. I looked to my right and there stood Magnus.
"You did it Biscuit. You created a masterpiece." He said and I smiled.
"I had a lot of help along the way." I said and he smiled.
"Yes, but without you creativity, and your determination to pilot this movie, it wouldn't have been made." He said and I just nodded. They still had no idea it was a true story. That I lived all of those tragic events, and I was going to keep it that way for as long as possible.
"I couldn't have done it without support." I said to him and he smiled.
"I can't believe it's over." He said as he took a deep breath.
"Me either. Seems like just yesterday we shot our first scene." I said and he laughed.
"This is going to change lives Biscuit." He said and I smiled. "Well, I have to go. I'm meeting with Alexander tonight."
"He's in the country?" I asked.
"He flew in last night." Magnus said with a smile.
"Go get your man. I'll see you around." I said and he kissed my cheek and left. I smiled as I watched him go and than sank into my office. My little fetus was finally finished, and soon it would be played throughout the country, and I couldn't even begin to imagine how insane that was going to be.
Time Jump – Six Months Later
Jace POV:
I was asked to be one of the actors that announced the Oscar nominations, and I couldn't be more privileged to have this honor. It wasn't every day that this happened, and I couldn't wait to see all the talented people who were up for Oscars this year. I had gone and seen most of the movies nominated and I was floored by all of them, especially 'Nowhere Girl'. Clary truly was a genius, and I hope I get the opportunity to tell her that one day because she deserves to hear it.
"Alright everyone, I'm going to be handing out the cards that you'll be reading and what category you'll be getting!" The man in charge yelled and everyone nodded. He started walking around handing out the cards, and when he finally got to me he only had one left. "You'll be announcing the nominee's for Best Director."
"Wow. That's an honor." I said and he smiled.
"You'll be the last to announce, so just sit back and relax." He said and I nodded. "Alright everyone, places. We go live in 5 minutes!" He yelled and I took my seat.
To say I was nervous would be an understatement. I was given one of the most prestigious award, and that was a huge deal. The camera turned on and everyone immediately got into character. Listening to all of the movies, and the people that were nominated was amazing, especially considering that the main girl in Clary's movie was nominated for Best Actress in a leading role, and the boy was nominated for Best Actor in a supporting role. It was insane because they were new comers. Clary picked them specifically because they weren't known, and now they were. When it came time for me to present, I stood up and took a deep breath.
Clary POV:
The nominations for the Oscars were on and I was already freaking out because Helen and Julian were both nominated, and I couldn't be more proud of them. I knew they had it in them, and I couldn't wait to see what happens when the award show rolls around. I was shocked to see Jace on the screen as one of the announcers, but they always did like to have other actors read the nominee's so I guess it wasn't that weird. It was the final category and Jace stood up, walked up to the podium and took a deep breath.
"Good morning, my name is Jace Herondale, and I'll be announcing the nominee's for this years Academy Award for Best Director." He said and I took a deep breath. "Sebastian Verlac 'Wasted'. Raphael Santiago 'Crowns'. James Carstairs 'Better In Debt'. Henry Branwell 'SmokeScreen'. And Clary Fray 'Nowhere Girl.'" He said and my jaw literally dropped. I was nominated for an Oscar, and I was a female in the Best Director category. My dreams literally couldn't have lived up to this moment because it is far better than I could have ever pictured.
Time Jump – Award Show
Jace POV:
I was currently sitting at home with Izzy, and Alec watching the Oscar's. Due to scheduling conflicts I wasn't able to go, so watching them from home was the best that I was going to get. After announcing the nominee's I couldn't believe that Clary was in the running to be Best Director, but I also saw her movie three times, and it was absolutely spectacular.
"I can't believe we have the opportunity to watch Clary win an Oscar. She'll be the second girl in history to win one if she does." Izzy said.
"It's a pretty extraordinary thing." Alec said. "Especially because her film was one of the most moving pieces of work I've ever seen."
"I hope she wins." Izzy said and I laughed. "What went through your mind when you saw her name on that card Jace?"
"I thought 'it's about damn time'. I saw that movie like three times. I couldn't get over how impeccable it was." I said.
"It made me cry. That girl had the roughest life ever." Izzy said and Alec and I nodded in agreement. "Oh it's starting!" Izzy pointed and turned up the TV.
Time Jump – A Couple Hours Later
Jace POV:
It was almost the end of the show and the final award to be given out was for Best Director, and I was actually pretty nervous for her. I wanted this for her. Even though we haven't spoken in years, there isn't a person on this planet who could convince me her movie didn't deserve an award, especially this award.
"….here are the nominee's for Best Director." I heard from the TV and I focused all my attention to it. "Sebastian Verlac 'Wasted'. Raphael Santiago 'Crowns'. James Carstairs 'Better In Debt'. Henry Branwell 'SmokeScreen'. And Clary Fray 'Nowhere Girl'." The woman said and I took a deep breath. "And the Oscar goes to….Clary Fray 'Nowhere Girl'." The woman said and I think I lost the ability to function. The camera cut to Clary and she had the biggest smile on her face. Izzy was freaking out, and Alec looked proud, and I was still trying to catch my breath. She got up to the microphone and smiled.
"First off, I would like to thank the Academy for seeing the beauty in my movie when I didn't give it all the beautiful aspects of life." She said with a smile. "I would also like to thank my incredibly talented cast and crew, without you, this movie wouldn't have been possible, and I am eternally grateful for everything you've done, and believing in me and this movie." She said and she took a deep breath. "There is something about this movie that I didn't disclose to anyone, but I'd like to make it known now." Clary said and that caught my attention. "This movie is an autobiography of my life." She said and there was a collective gasp from the TV and from my living room. "By the age of 14, I had completely given up taking care of myself and let it lead me down a path of eating disorders, and scales. When I was 15, my mom was diagnosed with cancer, and it just paved the way for my life to spiral out of control even more." Clary explained. "By the time I was 19, my mom had died, and I stopped taking care of myself all over again. I was a mess, and it lead me to harming myself in ways that never left scars, and I continued to go down this path of destruction and carelessness for years." Clary said and she was holding it together remarkably well because I heard Izzy crying next to me. "By the time I was 25 I experienced my first real heartbreak, and I finally broke." She said and I knew she was talking about me. "I had gone off the grid for awhile. I checked myself into rehab, and I got the help that I needed to make sure that I didn't end up dead the next time I did something reckless." Clary explained and she looked down at her Oscar. "There are many things in life that we can't control, and I know that sometimes there doesn't seem to be an ending, but I want every person out there who relates to my movie, and who relates to those feelings. Anyone who feels trapped, and lost, and forgotten, this Oscar if for you. You aren't alone. I am right here with you, and I can tell you from personal experience that it will get better." She said and everyone started clapping. "There was a quote that I lived by when I was in rehab, and throughout my journey to get back on my feet. 'Difficult roads often lead to beautiful destinations.' I didn't know exactly what I meant until this moment, because this is definitely a beautiful destination. Thank you." Clary ended and started to walk away as she got a standing ovation from the crowd. Clary and I may have been together for years, but she was extremely private, and I never wanted to push her, and this was shocking to me. All I could think about was her movie, and how incredibly sad and depressing it must have been to live that, and there she was letting the world know she made it, and I couldn't be prouder of her.
"Please tell me she didn't just say all that, and I just imagined it." Izzy said after a moment and I looked at her.
"Nope. She said it." I said.
"Did you know?" Alec asked and I shook my head.
"She was an extremely private person. We barely talked about family, and I noticed that she always did this thing with her hands when a topic came up she was uncomfortable with, and I never pushed her." I explained.
"You were together for like 4 years." Izzy said.
"I know, but half the time we were in two different countries, or working on a movie. I would say we spent 2 years apart, and 2 years together, and when we were together we were having fun. We weren't talking about topics that were sad." I said.
"I can't tell you how many times I cried during that movie." Izzy said. "And now knowing that Catie, is Clary, it makes me even more emotional."
"It's a dark movie." I said.
"That makes Jason you." Alec pointed out.
"I guess it does." I said.
"Maybe that's why I was so conflicted by him during the movie." Izzy said.
"What do you mean?" I asked.
"In the beginning of the movie, Catie is puking her guts up in the bathroom. She had just eaten lunch and she binged. You could see it in her eyes that she was empty. But once Jason entered her life, she seemed lighter. Maybe not happy, but definitely not depressed like the rest of the film. For once it seemed like everything was working out and than poof, he was gone. It made me angry. How can someone just up and leave someone he cares about." Izzy said. "You did that to Clary."
"No I didn't." I said defensively.
"Yes you did. You were out in LA working on a new project after the movies wrapped, and Clary decided to take a break, and when you were getting ready to come home you asked her to come with you, and she said no because she was planning on working again, and it ended." Izzy said.
"You make it sound heartless." I said.
"It was. Clary is an actor. You can't expect her to give up her life, and any jobs she has in LA so she can come be your groupie." Izzy said with a little anger in her voice.
"That's not what I wanted." I said. "I just wanted to spend more time with her, and I thought while she was between jobs she could come here."
"So your solution to spending more time with her was to break up with her?" Alec asked.
"That's not how I intended for it to go. I was pissed, and I made a rash decision." I said. "I wanted to be with Clary."
"But you made it seem like you never even cared about her." Izzy said.
"Of course I care about Clary." I said.
"Still?" Izzy asked and I was confused.
"Huh?" I asked.
"You said you care, not you cared." Izzy said. "So you still care about her?"
"I never stopped." I admitted. "Clary isn't the type of person you stop caring about."
"So what the hell are you doing with Kaelie?" Izzy asked.
"We broke up. Was I not supposed to move on?" I asked and Izzy shook her head in disbelief.
"You don't give up on someone you care about Jace. Who cares if you live in two different countries. People who want to be together make it work." She told me.
"We did make it work. For four years." I reminded her.
"And look at you now. In a relationship with a girl who travels basically every other week for work. The one girl who I truly saw you care about is off winning an Academy Award for a movie that is based off her life, and guess what, you are part of that story." Izzy said.
"I know Iz." I said.
"So what are you going to do?" Alec asked.
"I don't know." I said honestly.
"Well first you're going to break up with Kaelie." Izzy informed me.
"She's in Madrid this week." I said and Izzy grunted.
"Why can't you just be a dick and end it over text?" She asked.
"Because no girl deserves that." I said and she shrugged.
"Well break up with her when she gets back, and than go crawling back to Clary and see if she'll even take you back." Izzy said.
"No. I'll break up with Kaelie, and see where life takes me. I'm not going to charge into Clary's life and practically demand or beg for her to take me back. She doesn't deserve that either." I said and Izzy huffed.
"Sometimes I wish you were just as big of an asshole as the characters you play on screen." She said and I laughed.
"If it's meant to be Iz, it'll be." I said. And I truly believed that. If Clary and I were truly meant to be together, than we would find our way back to each other, but for right now, I wasn't going to interfere at all.
Time Jump – Two Weeks Later
Jace POV:
Kaelie was finally home and we were going out to dinner tonight. I planned on breaking up with her tonight, and finally getting it over with. I know that sounds horrible, but it was time. We barely ever saw each other, and being away was really stressful on a functioning relationship and ours stopped being that a long time ago.
We got to the restaurant and were immediately seated. I wasn't going to bring it up until the end of dinner so that way she could have a nice meal before everything went down. Kaelie had a tendency to be dramatic, so I was trying to lesson the number of plates that ended up being casualties. We talked about her trip to Madrid and than how she had to make a quite stop over in Paris. She really loved what she did, and I could see that in how her eyes lite up when we talked about it, and I didn't want her feeling like I didn't support her, but I couldn't keep doing this to myself, or to her.
"There is actually something I wanted to talk to you about." I finally said after we were both finished our dinner.
"What's on your mind?" She said and I could tell something was up.
"Well, as you know we've been together for almost two years, and I really enjoyed them, but I don't really know what we're doing anymore Kaelie." I admitted and her jaw dropped.
"You're….you're breaking up with me?" She asked and I nodded. "I thought you were going to purpose." She said and now it was my turn for my jaw to drop.
"Why would you think that?" I asked.
"Jace, we've been together for 2 years, and you brought me to this really nice restaurant. What else was I supposed to think?" She said angrily.
"Sorry, was I supposed to break up with you in the parking lot of a McDonald's, or should I have texted you?" I said.
"You're such an asshole Jace. Why waste these two years of my life?" She asked.
"You think they were wasted?" I asked and she sighs angrily.
"Of course. People date for one reason Jace. To get married. That is the end goal for every single person who is dating. We aren't teenagers anymore, we don't casually date for the hell of it." She said.
"I'm not ready for that yet Kaelie. And I'm not going to hold you back if you are." I said truthfully.
"Is there someone else?" She asked and I opened my mouth to say something but nothing came out. "There is isn't there."
"Not in the way you think Kaelie." I said.
"That doesn't make any sense." She said.
"I dated my co-star years ago, and we were together for a while. But we broke up pretty quickly, and that was that. One minute we were together, the next minute we weren't. It was a fast change, and a couple years later we met, and I figured it was time to start dating again."
"But you never got over her." She said and I nodded.
"I'm sorry Kaelie, but you deserve a guy to give you 100%, and that guy isn't me." I said and she sighed.
"I understand. It just sucks." She said and I laughed.
"Break ups are never easy." I said and she nodded.
"Well, thank you for the dinner." She said after a moment of silence and I smiled.
"It was my pleasure." I said and we got up and left the restaurant. I was glad that tonight went pretty smoothly, and that we were both leaving on civil terms.
Time Jump – Three Months Later
Magnus POV:
"Magnus, are you sure this is going to work?" Alec asked me.
"Of course it will work." I said and Alec gave me that look. "You said it yourself, Jace will always care about Clary, and I know that when they broke up she was heartbroken. We aren't forcing them to get married, we're just putting them into the same room and seeing where it goes."
"Clary isn't going to be happy." Alec said and I laughed.
"Trust me, I know. But she'll get over it." I said and Alec laughed.
"Okay, I have to go meet with Jace, and talk. We'll meet you at the restaurant at 1." Alec said.
"Good. I told Clary to meet me there at 1:30." I said and Alec nodded. He gave me a sweet kiss before leaving and I couldn't get the smile off my face. I just hoped this plan worked.
Time Jump – Lunch
Jace POV:
I was having lunch with Alec, Izzy and Magnus today. Alec finally got me an audition for a new TV series, so I've been in LA for a couple weeks for casting and meetings, and Izzy didn't want to be left back in England alone so she tagged along. We got to the restaurant but Magnus told us we couldn't order because we were waiting for a friend, so I decided to step out and have a smoke.
"Those things will kill you." I heard and I turned around and saw Clary standing there. "I thought you wanted to quit."
"I have." I said and she laughed. "A couple times. I just get really stressed."
"I understand. Can I have a hit?" She asked and I nodded and handed the cigarette over to her.
"When did you start smoking?" I asked as she handed it back to me.
"Rehab." She said and I nodded. "They said I needed to find a better alterative to self destruct. Which I found oddly weird at a facility that was supposed to help you get better. Smoking was something that helped. I don't do it often. Only when I'm stressed."
"What are you stressed about?" I asked.
"I just got done an audition and it didn't go well." She said and I nodded.
"That sucks." I said and she shrugged.
"There will always be more work." She said and I nodded. Being back in her presence was rather calming, and I never wanted that feeling to go away. "I'm assuming we aren't here by coincidence?" She asked and we both looked through the window and saw Alec, Magnus and Izzy's eyes on us.
"Highly unlikely." I said and she laughed.
"Well, lets not keep them waiting." Clary said. I stomped my cigarette out and we made our way into the restaurant. When the door opened Alec, Magnus and Izzy all scrambled to grab a menu and look like they weren't watching which caused Clary and I to laugh. "Really smooth guys."
"I don't know what you're talking about." Magnus said and Clary laughed.
"Please. You guys are so busted." I said and they all put the menus down. "If you wanted us to have lunch, all you had to do was say so."
"You wouldn't have shown up." Izzy said.
"Not true." Clary said. "Jace and I have a history, but that happened years ago. I hold no grudges against him."
"Really? You don't want to rip his throat out?" Izzy asked and Clary laughed.
"Not at all. We're all adults. We can be in the same room without petty shit going on." Clary said and I nodded along.
Lunch went by smoothly. We talked about our potential upcoming projects, and the success of Clary's first movie, and I had truly felt like a void had been filled in with Clary around. One that I didn't know existed until I realized it was full.
Time Jump – Two Weeks Later
Clary POV:
I didn't know exactly how I felt seeing Jace for the first time in years, but there was something so familiar about his presence, and for that it made it a lot easier to be around him. Not that we hung out on a daily basis, but when Magnus, Alec, and Izzy were getting together, Jace and I normally got lumped in and spent time together. He had really matured since that last time we saw each other, and it was nice to see how far he's come.
I was currently sitting in my favorite coffee shop reading over the script that I had. Turns out the director of the show really liked me and wanted to give me a second chance so he let me audition again, and I got the role. To say I was blessed would be an understatement. It meant the world to me that he saw something in me, and is now allowing me to show him what I can do.
"A bit of light reading?" I heard and when I looked up Jace was standing right there.
"Just trying to prepare myself for the first day of shooting." I said.
"Mind if I take a seat?" He asked and I shook my head and he sat down. "I guess the audition wasn't that bad if you got the part."
"He let me do a second audition. He really liked me, and decided to give me a second chance." I said and Jace nodded.
"What's the show about?" He asked.
"About a girl who is dealing with a midlife crisis at 32." I said and he laughed.
"That's a little young to be dealing with a midlife crisis." He said with a laugh.
"Her fiancé of 5 years broke up with her, and she was so dependent on him that she kinda has to learn how to be her own person again, and it's a lot harder than she expected." I explained.
"Sounds challenging." He said and I shrugged.
"I'm no stranger to heartbreak." I said without thinking.
"I see you're still holding onto that." He said and I looked at him.
"I meant it when I said I wasn't holding a grudge. You did what you did, and I can't change that. It might have taken me a couple months to fully grieve the end of our relationship, but that doesn't mean that it didn't still hurt." I said.
"Sounds like you're holding a grudge." He said and I closed my script.
"It hurt. A lot." I started to explain. "Our relationship was one of the few things holding me together, and when it ended, it seemed like all of my seams were just ripped apart. I didn't understand why you did it, and I never got real closer." I said and he looked like he felt kinda bad. "It wasn't until I went to rehab that I learned that I can't possibly have an answer for everything. I had to let go of the constant nagging in my head about what happened between us that made you end it. It wasn't until I heard you were dating that model that I finally realized that I was over it."
"It took you three years?" He asked.
"No. It took me about a year to come to that conclusion, but I was in rehab for about 2. I was trying to find myself again, and I was trying to fix so many more issues than just my broken heart." I said and he nodded. "It was by accident that I heard you were dating her. My roommate got the privilege to order her favorite magazine, and you were one of the top stories."
"I want you to know that if you would have asked me why I did it, I wouldn't have had an answer to give you." He said after a moment.
"What do you mean?" I asked.
"Our break up was completely spontaneous. I didn't plan it, and I wasn't thinking. It was in the heat of the moment when you declined my offer to come to England with me." He explained.
"All because I said no?" I asked.
"Our relationship was mainly spent away from each other, and I hated that. I wanted some time with you and I figured that since you were on a little break from acting that you could use that time to spend with me in England and when you said no I kinda lost it." He said.
"You should have let me explain my reasoning." I said and he hung his head.
"You said your break wasn't going to be long. You told me you were going to start looking for work." He said.
"Yes. And I meant that, but there was so much more to it than just that." I said and he looked up at me.
"Like what?" He asked.
"Well for one, the timing was all wrong. It was coming up on the anniversary of my mom's death and I never leave for anything when that time comes around." I explained. "I also needed to stay in the area because my manager told me that my name was being thrown around when it came to playing a huge role in a movie, and I should stay in the country in case they wanted to meet with me."
"I guess I should have listened." He said and I laughed.
"It would have been beneficial to our relationship if you did." I said and he sighed.
"I'm sorry I'm such a hot head." He said.
"You're passionate, and passionate people tend to feel things full throttle and act according to how they are feeling in that moment. You were hurt, so you hurt me." I explained.
"I never wanted to do that to you Clary." He said and I smiled.
"I know that now." I said and he smiled. He opened his mouth to say something when my phone started ringing. I reached into my bag and pulled it out and I saw that my good friend Jordan, who I met in rehab, was calling me. "I have to take this."
"Of course." He said.
"Jordan! I'm so glad you called!" I said and he laughed.
"Me too Clare, it's been a while." He said and I smiled.
"It really has been. What's up?" I asked.
"Well as you know, our little girl Adrianna turns one in a week." He said.
"How could I possibly forget." I said with a laugh.
"Maia and I wanted to invite you to come to dinner with us to celebrate." He said and I pulled out my planner.
"When would it be?" I asked.
"Wednesday night. Probably around 8." He said.
"I can totally do Wednesday." I said as I put it in my calendar.
"Perfect. We can't wait to see you." He said.
"I can't wait to see you either." I said.
"Love you Clare." He said and I smiled.
"I love you too." I said and we hung up. "Well, this has been great Jace, but I have a meeting in 30 minutes." I said as I stood up.
"Of course." He said with a hint of anger to his voice.
"Thank you for clearing things up for me." I said as I gathered my things.
"No problem. We should do this again soon." He said.
"Maybe. See ya." I said and I walked out of the coffee shop. I really did have mixed feelings about having Jace back into my life, but after today I finally felt like I had closer, and I didn't know how much I really need that.
Jace POV:
After Clary left I instantly felt horrible. Especially after hearing her on the phone with Jordan. I hadn't heard anything about her dating, and it threw me off. She looked so happy talking to him, and I knew that at one point in time that person was me making her smile and laugh like that. I shook my head and left the coffee shop. I had no right to be jealous of Clary moving on, but I was, and I hated it.
When I finally got back to the house I walked in and everyone was home. Magnus and Alec were on the couch watching TV, and Izzy was on the phone in the kitchen, most likely talking to Simon. I took a seat in the living room and leaned my head back against the headrest.
"You look like you've had a tough day." Magnus said.
"I ran into Clary at the coffee shop." I said.
"Were latte's thrown?" Alec asked.
"No. We actually had a really nice conversation. We talked about the way things ended, and we finally cleared the air." I said and they looked impressed.
"Wow. That's pretty cool." Alec said and I shrugged. "You don't seem happy about that though."
"That's because I'm such an idiot." I said.
"We all knew that." Magnus said and I glared at him.
"She looks so happy." I said after a minute.
"And that's a bad thing?" Alec asked.
"No. It's amazing. I forgot how infectious her smile was." I said as I remembered it.
"But you aren't the one making her smile anymore." Magnus said and I nodded. "She wasn't always like that. It took her some time before she no longer had to fake happiness."
"I know, and I'm the one to blame for that." I said.
"As much as Clary says you aren't, you totally are." Magnus said and Alec elbowed him. "What? He is. You should have seen her after he broke her heart. I found her in her apartment crying on the floor. She was so distraught she passed on that movie she was going to be cast in."
"She gave that up?" I asked in disbelief.
"Yea. She told the director that she needed to take some personal time." Magnus said. "The next week she was in rehab, and spent a little over 2 years there."
"Damn." Alec said. "I didn't realize she was there for so long."
"She really needed help, but she also really wanted to get better. She knew she was on a destructive path, and she knew it was time to get some help for it." Magnus explained.
"Clary was also really good at accepting help when she needed it." I said and they nodded in agreement.
"Yea, and I think that she finally grieved and accepted her past as her past when she created that movie and she was finally able to move on." Magnus said.
"God I'm so stupid." I said again.
"Yea. You are." Magnus said. "You might be Alec's brother, but Clary is my best friend, and I'm not going to lie, I hated you for years after what you did to her."
"I don't blame you." I said.
"Good, because Clary finally convinced me to let the anger go because you weren't worth it." Magnus explained further.
"She was right. I'm not worth it at all." I muttered.
"At least we're all on the same page." Magnus said and I sighed.
"She couldn't have meant that though." Alec said after some time. "I mean, she loved Jace, how can she say he isn't worth it?"
"I think she meant that holding in all that anger towards Jace wasn't worth it. Not him personally." Magnus said. "Look, Clary is a strong girl, who after she got out of rehab realized her own worth, and realized she didn't need a man to tell her she was worth it." Magnus explained. "If Clary thought you weren't worth it, she wouldn't have spent her time talking to you today. Trust me, she has completely let go of every person in her life that brings her down. So if she willingly talks to you, and allows you in her life, you clearly still mean something to her."
"Highly doubt it." I said.
"Believe me, don't believe me. I don't really care, but don't sulk if you aren't going to listen to what I have to say. You broke up with her almost 6 years ago. Move on." Magnus said.
"I don't think I can." I said honestly.
"Okay, than don't. But if you really want her back, my advice for you is to be proactive, not inactive." Magnus said. I stood up not wanted to be lecture by Magnus anymore and walked into the kitchen to get a snack. Izzy had just gotten off the phone so I was glad I didn't have to hear her talking to Simon.
"Why do you look so pissed?" She asked.
"It's nothing." I said.
"You can fool a lot of people but you can't fool me." She said and I sighed.
"I talked to Clary today." I said.
"So?" She asked.
"It just made me miss her." I said honestly.
"So tell her that." She said like it was the most obvious thing in the world.
"She's seeing someone else." I said.
"How do you know that?" Izzy asked.
"I just do. Look, I don't really want to talk about this anymore." I said and Izzy nodded.
"If you decide that you do I'm always up for listening." She said and I smiled and nodded. I took my snack and headed up to my room trying to forget today even happened in the first place.
Time Jump – One Week Later
Clary POV:
I was currently sitting at lunch with Magnus, Alec, and Izzy and it was weird being around them still, but it was nice, and I forgot how close we used to be. I was currently looking at my phone when I heard someone snap in my ear. I looked up and Izzy was looking at me.
"Are you in Clary?" She asked.
"In for what?" I asked.
"Were you even listening?" She asked with a laugh. I shook my head and she smiled. "There is this new club that opened last week, and we were going to go check it out. You in?"
"Sure. Sounds like fun." I said and she clapped.
"Perfect!" She said and she started rambling on and on about that night. I knew Izzy was all about the club life. She was always looking to have a good time, and I guess I couldn't blame her for that.
Time Jump – Club Night
Clary POV:
I pulled up to the club and saw Magnus, Alec and Izzy waiting outside for me. The line to get in was incredibly long, but I figured that maybe I could persuade the bouncer to let me an my friends in sooner on account that I am a celebrity. I got out and greeted my friends and we made our way to the front of the line.
"Line starts back there miss." The bouncer said to Izzy, and I made my way to the front and smiled.
"Hi, I was wondering if my friends and I could get a little pass on the line." I said as I batted my eyelashes.
"Clary Fray, it's an honor to have you choose our club to come too." He said a little bit awestruck. He removed the red velvet rope and let us pass.
"Thank you." I said as we made our way into the club.
"You sure come in handy for these types of things." Izzy said and I laughed. The club was packed, and the music was blasting, and the atmosphere was insane, and I could see us having a great time tonight, and I was excited.
Time Jump – A Couple Hours Later
Clary POV:
Izzy and I were out on the dance floor when I felt someone come up behind me and start dancing with me. I had a couple drinks in me, and who says I couldn't have a hot guy dancing on me. I let him grab my hips and we swayed to the music together as I felt his hot breath on my neck. I was lost in the music when I suddenly felt all my heat leave. I opened my eyes and saw Izzy standing between us.
"She's got a boyfriend asshole." Izzy shouted and the man left.
"Izzy, why would you do that? We were having a good time." I said as she turned back towards me.
"I don't think your boyfriend would like you dancing on another guy." She said as she crossed her arms over her chest.
"Boyfriend? Izzy, I'm single." I said and her face changed.
"You're what?" She asked.
"I'm single. Have been for years." I explained. "Why would you think I had a boyfriend?"
"Jace told me last week that you were seeing someone." She said.
"Why would Jace tell you that? Jace and I didn't discuss my love life, not that I have one anyway." I said and she looked confused. "Where the hell did he get that from?"
"I don't know. He didn't want to talk about it." She said.
"That's so weird." I said and she nodded. "Well, now that you ruined my dance, I'm going to go to the bathroom." I said and she nodded once more. I made my way to the bathroom, and when I was done I walked out but I didn't make it far. I was grabbed my wrist, and pinned up against the wall.
"Why don't we finish what we started on the dance floor baby?" The man said and my stomach dropped. Dancing was one thing, but this was something totally different, and one of the things that I feared the most.
"No." I barely got out but he laughed and started roaming his hands all over my body. I felt disgusting.
"I know you want me. I can show you a great time." He whispered in my ear before kissing down my neck.
"Get off." I said and I felt him smile against my neck.
"I don't think you mean that baby." He said and I tried to move but he just pinned me harder against the wall. I looked around as best as I could but nobody was around. He was still kissing my neck and I did the only thing I could think of. I kneed him in the balls and he went down. "Bitch." He muttered and I ran away. I found Magnus and Alec sitting at a table and Magnus saw that I was distraught.
"Biscuit, what's wrong?" He asked.
"Man…..grope…gross." I could barely speak. I was so disgusted and I just didn't know what to do.
"Come on, we'll take you home." Magnus said.
"No. I don't want to be alone." I said as I started crying.
"Of course. Come with me." Magnus said as he helped me stand up. "Alec, take Clary's car." Magnus said as he tossed my key's to Alec. Magnus grabbed Izzy and led me to the car. I completely blocked out everything on the drive. I didn't want to remember, but my mind just kept overflowing with images.
Jace POV:
It was close to 3 in the morning and I was just getting home. Night shoots were always the worst, everyone was tired, and it was cold, and everything just took so much longer than expected that by the end everyone was glad to leave. I walked into the house expecting it to be dark, but when I opened the door lights were on. I made my way to the light source and found everyone awake in the kitchen.
"What are you all doing awake?" I asked and they looked at me.
"We were at a club." Izzy said.
"Right. How was that?" I asked as I put my stuff down.
"Fun, until the end." Magnus said.
"What happened?" I asked and they all looked over to the couch. I followed their gaze and my eyes met a sleeping Clary. "Why is she here?"
"Something happened at the club, but when we brought her back here she had a full blown meltdown and cried herself to sleep." Alec said.
"She's been asleep for about an hour." Izzy said. I was about to say something when we heard someone groan. We looked behind us and Clary was sitting up. Everyone made their way over to her. Her eyes were bloodshot, her face was swollen, and she looked absolutely drained.
"Clary, are you okay?" Magnus asked hesitantly. She looked over at him with empty eyes and just nodded. "Don't down play this. I know the memories it brings back….."
"Stop." Clary said before he could finish. "Don't talk about it."
"Clary, don't bottle this up." Magnus pleaded and Clary just shut down.
"Would you like a shower?" Izzy asked after a moment. Clary simply nodded. Izzy took her hand and helped her off the couch and they walked out of the room.
"What the hell is going on?" I asked.
"Yea, what was that all about Magnus?" Alec asked.
"I'm not going to explain until Izzy is back." Magnus said and we nodded. Almost 10 minutes later Izzy walked back into he kitchen.
"Explain." Izzy said and Magnus sighed.
"When Clary got out of rehab, I almost didn't recognize her. She was happier and she smiled more. It was weird, but a good weird." Magnus started t explain. "It was a summer night, and it was late. Clary really wanted ice cream and there was a store right down the street so she walked there. On her way back she was corned by 4 men, and they started….touching her." Magnus said and my blood began to boil. "She tried to get away but they smacked her, and pinned her against the wall."
"Did they…..rape her?" Izzy asked.
"No." Magnus said and I let out a breath I didn't even know I was holding. "A couple walked back and Clary screamed. They came running, and the men booked it out of there. They took her to the hospital and called me. It took her a couple months to get over it. She was staying with me because she couldn't be alone otherwise nightmares plagued her."
"Oh my god." Izzy said and I couldn't believe it.
"I guess something similar happened at the club that caused that reaction." Magnus said. I couldn't take it anymore. I left the kitchen and walked right upstairs. I saw Izzy's light on and figured that's where Clary was. I walked into her room, and right into the bathroom to find Clary standing there in just her bra and panties.
"Jace. What are you doing in here?" Clary asked.
"Magnus told me what happened years ago with those men." I said and she paled.
"It doesn't matter." Clary said and I walked over to her.
"Of course it matters Clary." I said as I cupped her face in my hands.
"No it doesn't." She said and I tilted her head up so our eyes locked.
"Yes it does." I said once again.
"Why?" She asked.
"Because I love you Clary." I said and her eyes widened. Before she could respond I slammed my lips to hers and became to kiss her. There wasn't a feeling in the world that could compare to this. Kissing Clary always felt like a breath of fresh air. That was until I realized that she was seeing someone else. I broke the kiss and our eyes locked and I took a deep breath. "I'm sorry. I shouldn't have done that."
"Jace." Clary said but I was already walking away. "Jace!" I heard her yell but I was making my way to the front door. I didn't know where I was going, but I couldn't sty in this house with her. "Jace!" I heard again as I passed by the others. "JONATHAN!'' I heard and I froze. "Can we please talk."
"I can't Clary. I just can't be in the same room with you and not kiss you." I admitted and I turned around. Clary was standing there in one of Izzy's pink fluffy robes.
"Which is exactly why we need to talk." She said.
"I shouldn't have kissed you. Especially when I knew you were seeing someone else." I said.
"Here we go again." She said and I was confused. "I don't know where you got your information, but I'm not in a relationship. I'm very much single." She said and my jaw dropped.
"But what about Jordan?" I asked and she laughed.
"That's where this came from? My conversation with Jordan?" She asked and I shrugged.
"You went out to dinner with him." I simply said.
"You're right, I did. But I also went out to dinner with his wife, and daughter." She said and I sighed. "I met Jordan in rehab. We took kickboxing classes together and we got close. I introduced him to my roommate, Maia and they hit it off really well. Their daughter turned one this week, and they wanted me to celebrate with them since I'm her godmother." Clary explained.
"I'm an idiot." I said and she laughed.
"Yea, you are." Clary said as she made her way over to me. "Why wouldn't you just talk to me?"
"I felt like I didn't have the right to after everything that went down between us." I admitted. "I hurt you, and I don't deserve your forgiveness, or your friendship really."
"Jace, I've forgiven you. Years ago." Clary admitted. I couldn't look at her, but she put her fingers under my chin and forced our eyes to meet.
"I'm sorry. For everything I've done to you." I said and she smiled.
"It's all in the past Jace. It's time you forgive yourself." She said. "This guilt is going to eat you alive, and I would really prefer if you weren't dead."
"I really do love you Clary. I've never stopped." I said as I put a stray curl behind her ear and she blushed.
"I know. I love you too." She said and my jow dropped. "I never stopped either." She said and before I could stop myself I slammed my lips to hers again. This time around I wasn't going to let her go. I don't care how hard our relationship is, or how long we spend apart working on separate projects, we were going to make it work this time. There was no question about it.
Time Jump – One Year Later
Clary POV:
"…..and the nominee's for best actress in a leading role are: Camille Belcourt 'TomBoy'. Aline Penhallow 'The Great Outside'. Clary Fray 'Sounding Off'. Tessa Gray 'Wide Open'. And Seelie Queen 'Pottery'." The announcer said and I couldn't help but hold my breath. "And the Oscar for Best Actress in a Leading Role goes to….Clary Fray 'Sounding Off'." He said and my heart dropped. I stood up and made my way over to receive my award.
"Oh god, where do I even begin?" I said and everyone laughed. "First I would like to thank the Academy for this incredible honor." I said. "To all my fellow cast mates, and the amazing crew behind the set that deserves endless praise for all their hard work." I said as I looked down at my Oscar. "This movie moved me in way that I never thought was possible, and I felt like it told a story that many people needed to hear, and I am so incredibly proud that I was a part of it." I said with a smile. "And I wouldn't be here if it wasn't for my amazing husband." I said as I looked over to Jace. "I love you, and I can't even begin to thank you for all your endless love and support throughout this incredibly hard and emotional journey." I said as he blew me a kiss. "Thank you for being my biggest supporter, and my number 1 fan even when I didn't believe in myself, you were always there to pick me off the ground when I felt like giving up." I said as I tried to hold it together. "I couldn't picture journeying through life with anyone else by my side. Thank you for our life together, and the life that we have created together." I said as I rubbed my little bulging belly. "Thank you." I finished off and walked off the stage. I made my way backstage and got my picture and talked to a few people before making my way back to my seat. I sat down and Jace leaned over and kissed my cheek.
"I love you, and I am so proud of you." He whispered in my ear.
"I love you too." I said back. We might have taken some time to get here, but I couldn't picture my life with anyone else, and even though it was a difficult road, we sure made it to a beautiful destination.

I have no idea who requested one where they were actors, but here it is! I hope you all enjoy this one shot, and find it inspiring just like I did! Let me know what you think, and leave a review! I can't promise that I will be updating soon! I've hit another writers block and nothing is coming to me! This story alone took me almost a week to finish, and thats a long time for me when it comes to a one shot!
Also, I just binged Stranger Things, and I have to say, I am obsessed! I recommend it to anyone who loves the supernatural, and loves to laugh! Can't even begin to describe how incredible the show is, and how excited I am for Season 2! Okay, I'm off my soapbox! Let me know what you think! :)
