sorry this is late i completly forgot to update but here she is my little mundies.
clary*
it's the Saturday before we leave and I am already getting impatient. Jace and I have hung out all week so that when his foster father comes back he can stay there and not feel guilty about not spending enough time with me. which is ridiculous. on Thursday I went and got another tattoo of a daisy chain to cover the scar on my stomach and I love it. we are going to the abandoned bar tonight to start cleaning it up. magnus turns 18 this coming month and has saved up enough to buy it so we are going to start getting all the old furniture out so he can start refurbishing it instead of having to buy new furniture. he said me and Jace could take some of the old liquor with us to NC so we don't have to reduce Rafael's supply. Jace an I are going to start packing this week since we will be gone for so long. we have already set up a way for mags, Izzy, Alec, and Simon to come down to celebrate Magnus's birthday together. I pull on an old t-shirt and jeans so that we can leave soon. when I leave the room I find Jace still shirtless and I feel my knees get weak. he smiles when he sees me staring "like what you see?" he asks "I don't know the ego on top of it is kind of killing the mood," I say. he smirks and walks over to me planting a kiss on the corner of my mouth and moving down to the weak spot that he knows too well. I kiss along his jawline and make my way down to his neck then to his chest and abruptly pull away leaving little Jace awake. "we have work to do so go take a cold shower and then we can go" I tell him with a smirk. "I think you should join me" he says with a smirk of his own "too bad I already took a shower and we have to leave soon" I say grinning "you will be the death of me little red" he says "I think you mean ill be the death of little Jace" I say with another smirk. I plop on the couch "make your shower quick. we don't want to be late" I tell him. he grins and heads to the bathroom. I hear the water turn on and I take it as my chance to steal Rafael's cigarettes and have one before I leave. I do just that and sit on the couch after spraying fabreeze and perfume to cover the smell. I don't know how Jace feels about smoking and I don't plan to tell him anytime soon unless I see him doing so himself. he walks out of the bathroom fully clothed while drying his head with a towel. he sniffs the air. "whats with the fabreeze?" he asks "nothing I just like the smell" I lie. "I've got to use the bathroom then we can go," I say. I go to the bathroom and quickly brush my teeth and flush the toilet so he doesn't know I didn't actually use it. we go out on his bike and I shove his helmet on his head and pull my helmet onto mine. we ride to the soon to be a bar and see that Izzy and Simon are already there along with Magnus and Alec. we go inside and up the stairs and find them pulling big leather couch towards what used to be private rooms. "you have to turn it left no my left" says Magnus "why don't we just flip it" Izzy suggests "guys you know you can disconnect the two sides right" I tell them "and this is why biscuit is my favorite" Magnus announces "how do we disconnect them?" Simon asks "hold on ill do it,"I say and jog to help them. I gently pull the part they had gotten through, out of the doorway and tell Jace to help me flip it the right way so I can disconnect the parts. he holds it steady while I unhook them. when I'm finished one part of the couch slams to the floor right next to me. I let out a little scream until I realize I'm fine. "shit sorry are you ok?" asks Jace "yea I'm fine it just scared me. ok, you guys can take the parts into the backrooms and me and Jace will disconnect them" I say. they nod and start pulling the pieces into the backroom. jace makes me tell him how to disconnect the pieces so he can sit under the 'deathtrap' as he called it, instead of me. I hold the two pieces up and let him do his thing. we have all four couches disconnect by the time everyone else has gotten the first couch in the back room. jace and I start helping them and then we all get to work on putting the barstools in another room. there are two bars and 24 barstools but we get it done quickly. we go downstairs to start on the dance floor part of the place and get the barstools from down there. we finish with all the furniture and decide to take a break. we sit on a couple of crates of liquor. " you guys can take one of these crates when you leave" Magnus says "I think we will only need half a crate" I say "well if you think you start running low ill bring some down there when we come for my birthday" he insists "ok" I say with a laugh "well since we are finished with furniture I vote we use one of these crates as a reward" Izzy suggests "I am so ok with that" I say "me too" Alec says. Izzy passes out bottles and we drink and joke and have a good night. I wake up from nightmares the next morning and the first thing I notice is that Alec and Magnus are tangled in each other's arms and are both smiling in their sleep. I knew it. I snuggle into Jace and rest my eyes until I hear that someone else is awake. turns out its Jace. we sit in silence for a few minutes until I notice that he is smiling at Magnus and Alec. "those two are so bad at hiding there feelings" he says "damn right" I say. "I am so ready to leave," he says "how come?" I ask "because I'll get to be alone with you for a month," he says "is Jace Harondale getting sappy with me?" I asked sarcastically "no I just can't wait to be able to do this," he says kissing my neck in that sweet spot "anytime we want" he continues. "eww get a room" I here a whiny voice say "without interruptions" he adds "Iz just because you are hungover does not mean that you can use that horrid voice. you might make my ears bleed" I say. "shut up. we need food. very greasy food" she says "Takis?" I ask Jace. "yea the bacon might get rid of her whining," he says with a laugh. "let's go,"I say. I stand up and go wake up mags and alec. we go to Takis and laugh and joke while we eat and I know that this bond we all have is going to last for a very long time.
friday (trip)
Jace and I shove the crate of alcohol that Magnus insisted we take into the back of Rafael truck and push in our bags behind it. I turn to your friends who came to see us off. simon and alec are smiling and Izzy is crying while Magnus is shooting suggestive glances at me and Jace. "Izzy, stop crying. you have my brothers bike that you can take to visit us whenever you want" I tell her "but call first" Jace adds. I roll my eyes and grin at his suggestive look. "ok guys we have to hurry so we don't lose our room" I say. magnus gives me a bear hug and picks me up "put this boy in his place while you're gone" he whispers in my ear. "ok" I whisper back. I see Alec and Jace do a bro hug and he and Simon clap each other on the shoulder. I see Jace wince slightly at this but no one else does. I make a mental note to check on him at the first gas stop. I hug Izzy and Alec, then give Simon a hug as well. I get on my bike and Jace soon follows after saying goodbye to Magnus and Izzy. rafael hops in his truck and we drive towards NC. we make our first stop in Pennsylvania and I immediately make Jace follow me into the men's room. I lock the door. "take your shirt off" I say "clary this place is filthy we can't do such things here" he says "Jace take off your shirt" I demand. he takes off his shirt with a sigh. I see newly formed bruises on his stomach and I feel the tears pricking my eyes. I go to the other side of him and see more on his shoulder and back and four whip marks running from his shoulders to his hips. they don't go deep but I know from experience that it still hurts like a bitch. "come on we can grab you some pain pills and I'll take a better look when we get to the hotel" I say as Jace pulls his shirt on looking ashamed "don't be embarrassed, Jace" I tell him "its embarrassing clary. it is embarrassing for you to see it" he says "do you think I don't get embarrassed when you see mine. do you think it's not embarrassing to admit what my brother did? because it is"I say "yes but I should be the one helping you. you shouldn't be helping me" he says "why because I'm a girl? well, don't you know in the war that the women were taking care of the injured men? but guess what the men still saved us. just because you have help doesn't mean that you aren't helping" I tell him "so it's my turn to play doctor. when I cut my foot on a shell at the beach you can carry me back to the hotel and patch me up if it will make you feel better" I say "well that definitely sounds like a plan" he says with a smirk. "come on we need to hurry up" I tell him. we grab the strongest tylonol packs they have and continue our drive to NC. we get there by around 5:00 and checked in. we told Rafael he could stay until tomorrow but he said that he needed to get back to the bar. I picked up a first aid kit at Walmart when we had to make a quick stop because we forgot beach towels. I pull it out of the compartment under the seat of my bike and took it inside. I made Jace take off his shirt and I cleaned out the marks on his back. I covered them with gauze pads and replaced the ones from last week. I made him lay down and nap with me but he said that he was taking me out tonight so I set an alarm. we woke up around seven and he told me to put on a bathing suit under my clothes. "I can't go swimming,"I tell him while shaking my head like a madwoman "hey look at me," he says. I look at him with nervous eyes "we aren't going anywhere with a lot of people and we are going out to eat first. we both need to get over our embarrassment" he says. I still feel nervous and he can tell. "hey take off your shirt," he says "that's only for when I'm drunk and don't care," I tell him "clary please" he begs. I swallow hard and slowly take off my shirt and immediately cover my torso with my arms. Jace gets on his knees and gently moves my arms. he kisses his way up making sure to plant a kiss on every single bruise, cut and scar then he tangles his fingers in my hair and kisses me soft and hard all at once there so much care and passion in every move we make and I don't think I've ever felt this cared for before. we both pull away for air and he smiles showing off his perfect teeth except the one little-chipped tooth that only seems to make him more perfect. I get ready and we go out to eat on the pier. we brought two water bottles filled with vodka with us for later so we can drink and not look suspicious. jace convinced me to wear a short-sleeved shirt because it is scorching hot outside. we finished eating and he leads me to the end of the pier that usually has a bar but its closed for tonight. he takes me to the top deck and hands me a bottle. I take a swig and he follows. "ok now take off your clothes" he says with a grin. he strips off his shirt and I follow his lead. he pulls himself onto the railing and pulls me up with him "Jace we can't do this it's illegal" I say "so is underage drinking" he points out. I sigh feeling defeated. I look down feeling like I'm going to vomit. "scared?" he teases "no" I lie. come on clary you have seen far scarier. I jump without thinking and feel my stomach drop. I hit the water and barely make a splash. I stay under and hold my breath. I wait for Jace to jump in and soon enough he does. he surfaces and I can see him looking for me but it's blurry. I hear him call me and I want to laugh. he dives under and finds me then drags me back to the surface. I play dead and want to laugh so bad. "shit. shit. shit. shit" he says pulling me towards the sand. I can't take it anymore and laugh so hard I almost pee. "dammit clary I thought you were dead" he shouts. he grins soon after I accidentally snort. I get embarrassed and blush but it's too dark for him to see. "aww I'm sorry I didn't mean to scare you" I say wrapping my arms and legs around him. he must have pulled us in rather far because he can touch the bottom. "can I make it up to you?" I ask with a pout "you damn sure can" he says pushing me against a pillar. he kisses me hard and I kiss back harder. I run my hands down his arms until I reach his hands and I discretely guide them away from a bruise on my lower back. I glide my hands back up his arms then down to his chest. we are forced apart because we must have been standing in a sinkhole and we drop under the water. we both resurface laughing and giggling. I wrap my arms and legs around him again and he walks us back up to the pier with me still wrapped around him and his hands cupping my ass to hold me up. he expertly maneuvers me into his arms bridal style before I know whats happening and he carries me all the way down the pier refusing to let me walk. he sets me down long enough to put our stuff in my bag. I try to pick it up but he grabs it first and smirks at me. we walk back to our room with people staring at both of us. I notice a couple of sympathetic looks and a couple of rich looking couples look appalled. Jace suddenly picks me up and carries me over his shoulder. "if they don't like us for it then fuck them don't be embarrassed ok?" he says "how come you get to be embarrassed when i patch you up"I ask "because you are a 4 foot tall redhead with anger issues" he says "if I have to tell you that I am 5'2 one more time we are going to have a problem" I say "and there are the anger issues I was talking about" he says. we reach the hotel room and he sets me on the bed along with the bag. I look around the room. there are two neatly made beds. one is covered in our bags and a couple of the bottles of liquor. there is a door leading to a small bathroom and a tv. it looks just like it did when my family and I came here for a beach trip when I was little. Jace kisses my forehead and looks at me with sweet eyes. "I call the first shower," he says. he darts to the bathroom before I have time to make it halfway across the small room. I laugh as he shuts the door and I lay down on the bed with a huge grin. he exits the bathroom in his boxers and a towel over his head that he is shaking vigorously. I giggle at him and grab my night clothes. I go into the bathroom and strip down while I let the water reheat. I stand under the hot water and let it cascade down my back and chest. I bathe and wash my hair. when I get out I look at my monstrous hair in the mirror. I run a brush through it and put on my PJs which consist of a baggy t-shirt that reaches my knees and a pair of black underwear. I leave the bathroom and pounce on a half-asleep Jace. he doesn't even open his eyes. "clary you weigh like 90 pounds. pouncing on me only brings dirty thoughts to my mind" he says with closed eyes and a suggestive grin. I slump over beside him and crawl under the covers while snuggling into his chest. he grins and wraps his arms around me. I lift my leg and let it rest on top of his. we fall asleep like that and I fall asleep with a smile. but the smile quickly turns into a frown in my sleep as the nightmares take over my brain and I dart awake around 3 in the morning. I look to my side where I see Jace sleeping with a frown. he groans and flinches slightly in his sleep. I snuggle back into his chest and the frown and the flinching soon turn to a smile and his arms wrapping around my waist. I stay there staring at the wall, thinking. my mind travels everywhere from tonight to the other parts of the week and suddenly they stop abruptly on my father. he always had a temper but when my mom left he just got plain furious and took it out on me and my brothers. sebastian always tried to protect me and Jonathan but he either got beaten until he was unconscious or to injured to move. the boys never had to go to the attic. the attic is where Valentine kept his belt and whip. I've taken 5 trips to the attic. one for being home late. one for trying to run. one for giving Jonathan a bloody nose. and my last one was for hitting Valentine back. the other I hate talking about. needless to say, I never tried doing any of these things again. my mind wanders to the things he might do if he finds me. he probably doesn't care that I'm gone but Jonathan does. I carefully untangle myself from Jace and go down to the beach. I sit in the sand and look out onto the dark ocean. I love this. its peaceful and I feel like all my worries are gone. no one is on the beach. it's just me. I think about me and Jace and how much better my life has been since I met him and my new friends. it's awesome. it has never been this good. I don't think it could ever be better than this. I'm not in that hell hole with those two. maybe I should call Sebastian and tell him about how much better everything has been. when he left he would tell me something great he always apologized for telling me but I didn't mind. he's happy and that's all I wanted for him. now we are both happy and getting on with our lives. maybe not together but it is still great and I love it. I go back inside around 4:30 and I still have the happy thoughts that I never thought could exist. I was so wrong. and the fact that I was wrong makes me smile ear to ear.
