Chapter 6: Hello Brother

CPOV:

My father finally took my advice and left well enough alone and stopped asking about Jace and me not checking through the peephole. I couldn't exactly say I thought it was my professor Lucian Greymark whom is also my boyfriend that was coming to argue with me because I basically told him off a bit because he was being slick. My father would lose his top and drag me to back home kicking and screaming. After the slightly awkward dinner of chinese food, my father went to the spare bedroom to shower and change while I got comfortable on the couch waiting for my father to come out the bathroom, but as I continue to wait I feel my eyes growing heavier and heavier.

I awake feeling myself being lifted and carried off. I open my eyes and I am greeted with the sight of my brother Jon carrying me to my bedroom. He places me on the bed and kisses my forehead.

"Hey clarebear?" He whispers kneeling my bed and stroking my hair. I smile at him lovingly and poked his nose.

"When did you get here?" I ask my voice covered in so much sleep that I barely notice it.

"Ten minutes ago. Jordan let me in with his spare key and I found you on the couch fast asleep. I have to ask though Clary, what were you thinking?"

"I wasn't thinking, I told him no multiple times before I stormed off and came home. Half an hour later I am waiting for food and he shows up."

"Clare I don't know about leaving you here by yourself, why don't you come back with me? You will have your space from pops, a great school, and free to be yourself and when you get into trouble I will be there to back you up." I close my eyes tightly taking a deep breath and exhaling before opening them.

"I can't…. I like it here Jon. I stand on my own two feet here Jon. I don't want to be known as Jon's little sister or Valentine's daughter, or Jocelyn's daughter. I want to be known as just me." I whispered keeping my eyes low to not see his disappointment.

"I know sweetie. Trust me I know." Jon kissing my forehead and stands to his full height. "I'll sleep on the couch, see you in the morning." I grab his arm before he can make it far.

"No, just stay here. I have plenty of room." I scoot over and pat the spot beside me and watch as Jon takes off his hoodie and throws it in the hamper.

"Alright. Move over Clarebear." He whispers sliding into the bed as I grab my phone and move over and checking the time. But before I can see it, a message caught my eye.
