I woke up next to the most beautiful head of black hair id ever seen. he flips over and I look into his beautiful blue eyes. "for only being with one other guy you are sure damn good in bed" I say. he blushes and I can feel little Maggy wake up. and from what I can see Alexander is having the same issue. "wanna go for round four?" I ask with a laugh "is that even a question" he says and slams his lips to mine. when Alec reaches his hand towards little Maggy I hear the door slam downstairs. "shit shit shit. you gotta go" I say pushing him towards the window and shoving his clothes into his hands "ill call you later,"I say "mags come with me," he says "I cant," I say "yes you can and if I have to see another cut or bruise on you because I left I won't be able to forgive myself" he says "fine ill meet you outside but you need to go now" I say and shove him towards the window. he leaves and I pull on my boxers and skinny jeans with a galaxy t-shirt and shiny leather combat boots. I put on my rings and bracelets then slip out the window with my secret makeup bag. I walk down the street to alec's car and open the mirror to start on my makeup. he laughs and says he's taking me to breakfast then he'll give me a ride to work. he drives us to java jones and we eat breakfast and drink coffee while he makes a stupid joke about glitter. I give him a death glare and explain to him how many people could die without it. then he drives me to work and I zone out for the rest of the day. until he texts me to invite me over to his place

'only if we can finish what we started this morning ;)'-m

I can assure you we will finish that and hopefully start a few more rounds ;)'-a

he is so much bolder in texts and it is adorable. after that, I zone out and go on autopilot for the rest of the day.

izzy*

I wake up next to a brown head of hair and last night rushes back to me.

clary went to hang with Jace and I couldn't sleep. I decided to text the nerd and talk to him on my new phone that clary and I picked up yesterday.

'hey it Izzy'-i

'oh hey whats up'-s

'nothing much what about you'-s

'my friends dragged me to some club called pandamonium and I'm bored as hell'-s

'wait you're at pandamonium'-i

'yea why?'-s

'im upstairs'-i

'shit can I hide out with you'-s

'hell yes I'm bored'-i

I hear a knock at the door and ask who it is. simon pops his head in and gives me a goofy grin. I grin back and pull him to the bed and make him sit down. we talk for hours and tell jokes. we eventually fall asleep talking and I wake up a couple times during the night to see his glasses in a different position every time .i pull them off his face and set them on the bedside table. I didn't wake up till the next morning.

I grin at the memory of his stupid jokes and passion for star wars. he eventually wakes up to the smell of bacon and we both rush downstairs for breakfast.

clary*

I wake up the next morning still in Jace's arms and I can't help but smile. I gently remove his arm from my waist and go downstairs to start on breakfast for everyone. I cook the bacon and eggs then hear footsteps coming from upstairs. then three faces peep into the kitchen from the entrance and then another from Rafael's office. I laugh at there eagerness and start fixing plates. I set them at the bar then go back to fix my own and plop onto the stool next to Jace. I don't ask how Simon got here because I don't really care I'm just glad Izzy looks like she got a good night sleep. when we are done with breakfast we chill for a few minutes in the VIP lounge since there's a tv in there. rafael says he's about to go to sleep until there is a pounding on the entrance to the bar. "Rafael we need to talk" at the sound of that voice I freeze. "shit Izzy take her upstairs and make her show you to top floor and don't come down unless I come to get you" Rafael half-whispers "Jace come with me Simon stay here," he says. izzy puts her hand on the small of my back and rushes me to the stairs. I flinch a little but I don't care. I lead her to the top floor that has been set up as a penthouse like an apartment for Rafael. I pull her into the guest room and tell her to hide in the closet. I grab one of the many guns that Rafael has from under the guest bed and go hide with Izzy. I pull back the hammer until I hear the second click then aim at the door. I don't dare make a sound and neither does Izzy

jace*

I walk with Rafael to the door and when he opens it I have a feeling I know who I'm looking at and I don't like it at all. rafael puts on a fake grin but I just cross my arms and try not to start choking this guy. "hey Jonathan it's been a while" Rafael says "where is my sister?" asks the dark-eyed boy. " I don't know Jon, she didn't show up for her shift last night I had to call in mark here to fill in," he says gesturing to me with his thumb. "let me know if you see her. dad wants her home and you know how he gets when he doesn't get what he wants" Jonathan lies. "yea but listen me and mark have to finish cleaning up the bar but ill catch up with you later" Rafael says "yea" says Jonathan then he walks down the street. I can't believe I managed not to kill him as soon as I saw him but if I ever see him again I will make sure he doesn't have a leg to stand on. me and Rafael head upstairs to get clary and Izzy and all I want to do is hold her and make sure she is ok but when I get her I don't get the reaction I expect.

clary*

I hear the door to the apartment open and shut then footsteps coming towards the guest room. then I see the shadows at the door to the closet. I keep my aim on the door and when it opens I am ready to shoot at anything with white hair. when I see that the only thing there are two very scared looking men with a gun in there faces I lower it and sigh with relief. I walk past the boys and put the gun back where it belongs after flicking the hammer back into place. then I run to Jace and hug him as tight as I can. he picks me up bridal style then sits on the bed and settles me in his lap. I let a few tears escape my eyes but get myself together soon after. I wipe my tears away and smile at Rafael and Jace "thanks guys for handling that" I say "anytime little red but next time he might end up dead" Jace says with a tight smile. I rub his back and smile at him "hey its ok. he doesn't know I'm here and I'm fine ok" I say trying to wipe away his anger. "ok," he says smiling at me. we go back downstairs and leave Rafael to get some sleep we all go chill in the VIP lounge and eventually decide that tomorrow after my tattoo session that we will invite Magnus and Alec and all hang out at the bar before it opens and upstairs when it opens. me, Izzy, Jace, and Simon decide to go refrigerator shopping for me and Izzy's suits. I saved up some money from working over the years so I have enough to buy mine and Izzy's. we go to Lowes and pick out our fridges then give the people the bar's address to drop them off. jace tell me that he can hook them up because it's really not as complicated as some people think so I didn't have to pay them for that. we go back to the bar, Izzy driving my bike with Simon on the back and me on the back of Jace's wearing his helmet which he forced onto my head. Izzy is wearing mine and Simon is wearing Rafael's I make them stop at the bike shop down the street and buy another helmet and force his on his head and put the new one on Izzy's head. I put my helmet on and tell them we can go now. Jace laughs and revs the engine. I hear Izzy rev the engine of my bike and we head back to the bar. where we find the fridge delivery truck unloading our fridges and bringing them to the door. I guide the men up to the two suits and then send them on there way. I let Jace hook them up then we all go downstairs to the VIP lounge. Izzy turns on the Kardashians claiming she hasn't seen what they have been up to in years. I look at my phone and realize its already at six o'clock. I force myself up and pull Jace with me to the kitchen. I start on supper for all of us and tell Jace to help by cutting potatoes so I can make fried pork chops and mashed potatoes. I remember my mom making them for us when we lived in North Carolina. we moved here when I was five and I remember hating having to leave but thank god every day that my very noticeable drawl wore off. yes, surprisingly North Carolina is filled with southern people and I was one of them when I was little (An: don't take it as an insult if you are southern. I happen to be a very southern person with a very big drawl) I start frying the pork chops after I'm done battering them then start helping Jace finish up the potatoes. I put them on the stove and grab a can of garden peas and start those. when the potatoes are soft I drain them and finish them up. I pull the pork chops out of the fryer and turn off the stove when the garden peas are done. I fix everyone's plates and tell them to take it upstairs because the bar is opening soon. I don't have to work this week because Rafael is the best boss ever so I get to hang out with them tonight. we finish dinner and laugh and joke. when we start to get bored Izzy decides its time that we all start drinking. we play go fish and turn it into a drinking game. the rules are you have to take a shot whenever you have to go fish. we are almost done with the game and I know I'm about to win. "Jace do you have any fives?" I ask knowing damn well he does "nope," he says. dammit. I take a shot and when I finish it Jace throws a five card at me and I shoot him a deadly look "if I die of alcohol poisoning I will haunt your ass till you die" I say to him. we stop playing and just start joking around with each other. we all eventually pass out on the floor with me and Jace in each other's arms. I wake up to a dark-haired girl poking me on the shoulder who I want to thank for pulling me out of a nightmare "clary?" she asks "yea?" I say "whats going on with you and Jace?" she asks with a knowing grin on her face. "he asked me to be his girlfriend last night and I said yes," I tell her. she whispers shrieks and then pulls me away from Jace and sits us both on the couch " so did you guys do it or was he all romantic and told you that you should wait? did you guys kiss? was it good? was there tongue? do you guys have a song yet or do we need to go dancing tomorrow so you can get one? I'm thinking June wedding" she doesn't seem to take a breath through her babbling but that's, not my concern unless she passes out. "we were gonna do it but I freaked out and he hugged me and told me it was fine and that he was sorry. he asked me out after that. and yes we kissed. yes, it was good. I can't remember if there was tongue. we made out to Smells Like Teen Spirit and Come As You Are if that counts and I don't think we have to worry about a wedding for a while" I say pretending her blabbering is normal. who knows it might be but I've never had a friend that was a girl so I wouldn't know. I just let her ask questions and I answer them to the best of my ability. I gently steer the subject to the topic of her and Simon and she starts blushing. " I really don't know what we are doing. we've only hung out twice but I think I like him" she says with a smile "hey Jace and I have only hung out a few times and we are together" I point out "yea but you guys just look like you are great together but I don't know. he just seems like the type that wouldn't date a former prostitute. but who really is the type to date a former prostitute" she says "maybe he's an exception, I mean he is kind of different, maybe he likes prostitutes" I say "former prostitute" she corrects "former prostitute" I say. "hey what do you think about Alec and mags getting together?" I ask "they look awesome together. I'm pretty sure they are hooking up because Alec talks about him a lot and they are always hanging out before and after work" she says. we talk more and eventually fall asleep. I wake up the next morning and am about to go cook breakfast when someone grabs my wrist. "ah ah you are not cooking anymore. I am taking you to Takis for some of the best damn pancakes ever" he says. I giggle and start getting ready. I pull on a black Metallica t-shirt and skinny jeans with my converse and my black leather jacket. I walk out to find Jace pulling on a t-shirt and I see his rock hard abs and want to melt like butter. "like what you see little red?" he asks with a smirk "hell yea" I say smirking back. he chuckles and leads me out to his bike he is about to go when I shove his helmet onto his head. and buckle it "I don't feel like watching your brain matter explode onto the sidewalk if we get in an accident" I say at his questioning look. we go to Takis and eat the best damn pancakes ever. we laugh and joke and ask each other questions. when we are done eating Jace pays for the food and we head out to his bike. "Clarissa!" I hear. I turn and see my father down the sidewalk looking very angry "go to the abandoned building now"I say shoving his helmet on his head and getting on the bike. I decide to ignore my helmet and just let him go. when we get to the building a collapse onto one of the old worn leather couches and sigh. "I'm guessing that was your dad," he says "yea. he's looking for me and so is Jonathan I cant stay in one spot for too long or they will find me" I say feeling defeated "where the hell are you gonna go?" he asks "I have no fucking idea" I say "I've got an idea but I don't know how you'll feel about it" he says "anything is better than going back to hell" I say "my foster dad is going out of town next week for a month. what if we go on a trip while he's gone and by the time the month is up they will think you left the state and either give up looking or leave the state trying to find you but they won't know that you came back" he says "holy shit that sounds like a great idea" I say "alright we just need to figure out a place to go" he says grinning. I know the perfect place. valentine thinks I forgot about it. hell, he barely remembers himself. it would be amazing to go back "what about North Carolina," I say "we used to live there but Valentine thinks I don't remember it because I was too young and the beach down there is amazing," I say "well id love to see where my girlfriend was born and spent some of her childhood" he says with a grin "wait can we really go?" I ask feeling excited "hell yea," he says, his grin growing at the sight of my excitement. "holy shit when can we go?" I ask "next week on Friday," he says "shit this is awesome," I say and kiss him so hard it takes my breath away. he smiles and slips his tongue into my mouth. our lips melt together and I don't ever want it to end. we are forced apart by our need for air. "holy shit this is amazing you are officially the best person I know" I say "you seem excited" he says sarcastically "hell yea I have wanted to go back to North Carolina since I fucking left. you can actually see stars down there and the beach is amazing. holy shit what if I start getting my drawl back. that would really suck"I say and realize its already starting to come back "its ok you get it when your drunk and I just heard it when you were talking and I must say it is sexy" he says planting a kiss on my lips "dammit that is the one thing I don't like about North Carolina. almost everybody has a drawl and it will infect you" I say warningly. "well if you get infected I might not be able to keep my hands off you" he says with a smirk "well Jace harondale you might be in for a world of trouble" I say intentionally letting drawl come through "I think you might be the one in trouble clary Morgenstern" he says "ugh that is one thing I will be doing while im in the place that holds my birth certificate" I say "what?" he asks "changing my godforsaken last name" I say "that can be our first day trip" he says "Rafael would have to come down there to sign for a hotel room because you have to be twenty-one to rent down there" I tell him "well we have got to go ahead and get a hotel room" he says. "come on we can leave now and we can use rafaels laptop to find a room" I say "lets go" he says. we get on his bike after doing a full sweep around the building. he drives us to the bar and when we get there we recruit izzy and Simon to help us pick a room. we decided to look down near the beach since its still spring so they will be cheaper. when we found a nice room we took Rafael's laptop upstairs to his apartment where we found him awake eating cereal in his boxers. "what" he asks "me and Jace a taking a trip to North Carolina" I say "and why is that?" he asks "because Valentine saw me on the street and I need to go away for a while" I answer "shit clary are you ok" he says getting up and looking me up and down. "yea im fine but my point for this visit was that we need you to come down there to sign for the room and sign it out when we leave" I tell him "how long are you guys staying?" he asks. I look to Jace because it all depends on his foster dad. "a month" he says. "ok ill go down there. when are you leaving?" Rafael asks "next Friday" Jace answers "well you guys better get that room fast and then make sure you have enough alcohol to last through it because if I find missing bottles again I'm gonna be pissed," Rafael says "can we take some for real?" I ask "I don't even think you would have listened if I said no," he says "probably not," I tell him. jace and I have reserved the room and when Alec and Magnus get here Rafael closes the bar and we all celebrate me and Jace's trip. this is going to be the best month of my life.
