It was currently 2am in the morning. I spent a few hours at Magnus's. He was that gay friend that made you feel like you had a sister. I walked home. My plan was to avoid Jace for as long as possible. All my secret exits weren't visible in broad daylight but at night it's like they don't exist. I had to enter the main doors. I took off my shoes so I don't make noise. I lightly open the doors I was in the clear for a solid 2 minutes. Until I was in the front steps.

"And where were you!?" He spoke with venom. I start walking past him but he grabs my wrist. "You heard me!"

"At a friends." I pulled my wrist back and continued walking. I walked to the bathroom where I left my pajamas. I runned a hot shower. I let the hot water hit my back for I while. I was crying dryly. I had no more tears. My face was red and puffy. And my eyes. Don't get me started my eyes were another story. They looked swollen.

I heard a light knock on my door. "Clary open up." "Please." I was silent. "Please open up I have no problem kicking this door down."

"Jace not now please anytime that's not now."

"Okay."

20 minutes later

I exit the bathroom. Jace was on the bed he got up. I turn around so he wouldn't see my red and puffy face. "Do you need anything if you must ask Izzy she handles appointments and outfits." I said as straight as possible.

"Turn around clary." He was calm. I didn't so he lightly turned me around himself. I didn't look up so he lifted my chin to reveal my swollen face. "Why were you crying?"

"You know let's be honest do you want this wedding?" He sighed and smiled.

"Clary you wouldn't believe me but yes."

"Why?"

"Because unlike you I see the good in this."

"Right well you can go to bed." I sniffed.

Jace's POV

There I saw Clary crying. Her face looked swollen. She didn't understand how important this wedding was. She was scared. Commitment. Freedom loss. Control loss. I promise myself that clary is too feel safe in my arms always and forever. I want this to work.

"Right well you can go to bed." Clary said sniffling. Make this work. I walked over the the bed in the room. I sat down and patted the bed.

"Clary come sit."

"No." She crossed her arms. I let out a dry laugh.

"Clary what are you scared of."

"This."

"Commitment? Freedom loss? Control loss?" She nodded. "Well I promise to be faithful not let you lose control let you do whatever your heart desires but I all I ask in return is to be a true fiancé and fiancée."

"Like what?"

"Sleep together, kiss, dance, let yourself have feelings."

"Sleep together?"

"Lay in bed with our eyes closed together and clary keep in mind I would never make you do anything you are not comfortable with."

"Okay…" she said cautiously. I laid down. Clary soon crawled into bed after cursing at herself constantly. She was curled into a ball. She refused to share the covers with me so when she wasn't looking I upped the AC so it was freezing. I laughed and looked at her who was now shivering. She put on a hoodie still shivering. She looked at me. I was looking straight at her smiling.

"Give me part of the damn blanket." She grumbled. I laughed giving her the blanket. She tried to sleep far away it was currently 4:51 and we both were still awake. She rolled over to face me. She scooted over the tiniest bit. I wrapped my arms around her to pull her close. She kept trying to push me off. In the end gave up. She laid her head on my chest and we both closed our eyes. Now 5am we were unconscious.

1pm

Izzy's POV

"Clary wake up!" I enter the room she ran into the night before. Her and Jace were unconscious in that bed. His chest was red probably from clary resisting him. The room was freezing. I laughed the age old trick. Freeze the room to share a bed. A boyfriend has done it to me. I turned the AC off and walked out.

"Isabelle where is the couple?" The king entered the hall.

"Sleeping."

"Together?!" The king face was shocked.

"He did the age old freeze the room trick."

"That's my boy!" The king laughed and walked off. I sometimes was freaked out by our king.

Jace's POV

Clary was still sleeping. I woke up around 1:24. I poke Clary. Who rolls off the bed. She got up and said nothing. She ran out of the door. I got out after her. She was in a oversized T-shirt and I was only in pajama pants. She walked into her closet then locket herself. I knock on the door. "Clary?"

"What the hell do you want!?" Clary yells.

"For you to unlock this closet!"

Clary's POV

I locked myself despite Jace's words. I picked out a deep V neck burgundy dress while the bottom dragged at the bottom. It was short in the front and long in the back. I felt happy I could keep my fashion sense. I put on a burgundy cut crease with a killer cat eye. With that I add a deep red color to my lips. I tie lace around my neck and wear black thin heeled combat heels. I walk out of the closet. Jace opens his mouth to argue. Before he could I walk out of the door then down the stairs. Then out the door. I had called Magnus to go to lunch with me. We met up at a restaurant.

"Hey biscuit! Fiancé problems?"

"You have no idea."

"This is why I'm gay!"

"That does not work in this case mags." Magnus laughed at his mistake.

"Well I do know what will cheer you up!" He pulls out a packet of glitter and dumps it on my head.

"Thanks your glitter makes my day." We both laugh. We order food and drinks.

"Mags you know it's only 2pm it's too early to get a cocktail my friend."

"It's happy hour somewhere my dear!"

"And this is why you are my best friend my dear mags." I clinked my Pepsi glass with his cocktail glass.

After lunch.

I made my way to my room. Jace was sitting on the bed his phone was bright. "I hate when people keep the brightness up high." I mumble mostly to myself.

"I hate it when my fiancé runs out to have dinner with other guys!" I turned around laughing. He obviously didn't know Magnus was gay. "What the hell?! You smell like a cocktail. Glitter? Clary were you at a strip club because I swear!" He yelled while I fell off the bed laughing. "What the hell Is so fucking funny?!" He yelled again.

"Magnus is gay he drinks cocktails on end and Carries around packets of glitter that he dumps on people when he feels like it." I was still laughing. Jace let out a awkward oh. I take off my dress. "Stop staring." I squeaked. He laughs and continues to stare right at me. I changed out of my heels. I pull on a oversized hoodie that went to my knees and the sleeves were massive. I flopped on the bed and turned to tv on. Jace just stared at me.

"So are we going to ignore the fact you ran out of bed this morning and how you locked yourself in the closet and got ready there for god knows why reason?"

"yup." I say popping the P.

"K thanks." He says his voice dripping with sarcasm.

"Your very welcome why aren't you leaving?"

"Because my dear your father has agreed if I moved in with you." I bolt up and look around there were clothes around the place. I got up to check my closet. Jace sat there with a smug look. My head was fuming only to see he took off a few of my dresses and tossed them on the floor.

"You have the nerve to do this with out my consent?!" I yelled picking up my dresses. I started throwing his clothes at him. He got up to stop me. Before he reached me I started sobbing and I put the clothes down. Jace wrapped his arms around me. He rubbed circles against my back.

"It's okay clary Your okay I'm so sorry." He whispered as he held me tight. I couldn't stop crying. I don't want to go on like this. I wish Mom was here I miss her. In that moment I didn't care fiancé or not I needed a hug. I wrapped my arms around Jace just as tight.
