I'm sat sandwiched in between Sebastian and Jace, not that I really mind. We all decided to play a drinking game whilst waiting for the other guests. My mother told the bar tender that he can serve me, my brother and our friends as a treat to say thank you for helping with the wedding and putting up with her stressing about it for so many months. I'm drinking a vodka and Coke, so are Magnus and Isabelle. The boys, being manly men that they are, all have a pint of something or other, none of them feeling secure enough in their masculinity to have something other than a pint. We'll accept Magnus but he is an honorary girl anyway.

"Ok, so never have I ever had sex." Magnus says, then pulls the drink up to his lips along with everyone at the table but me and Simon.

"Serious Clary? I understand Simon but I though you would have put out by know." Jon says with a nudge to Seb's side.

"Actual Jon I have more dignity than that I want to wait until I feel ready and I don't want to rush my first time." I say out loud, on the inside I add, and I don't want my first time to be with Sebastian. Jace who's able to read me because he's known me long enough, and I'm sure is a mind reader, begins to cough into his hand to try and hide his laughter. I glare at him and smack his leg under the table, I'm sat close enough to him to do it.

"I'm sorry Fireball but even I thought that you'd have given it up by now." He says and slings his arm over the back of my chair, I huff and say, "Never have I ever had sex in my parent's bed." I say and eye up both Jace and Jon. The both drink, as do Magnus and Izzy. "Izzy! When with who?" I ask unable to keep my surprise in.

She grins at me, "Can you remember Meliorn? You know the one…."

"Oh Isabelle my love for you grows bigger each day, I love you more than I love my garden." We both imitate. And burst out laughing the rest of the group just look at us with confused faces.

"Well anyway," she continues, "It was him a few weeks back. We all know I'm no goody two shoes like you two." She says sending a wink in Simon's direction causing his cheeks to glow red. "Ok my turn! Never have I ever had detention with Mr Smith and hid it from my siblings." She looks at me and I glare back at her.

"Oh so Clary does have a wild side!" Jace snickers. Poking me in the side and grabbing his drink and drinking some as well. Izzy eyes him, silently questioning him. "I had detention with him the same day Clary did. Technically speaking it's my fault she had detention in the first place. I just didn't tell you that I had it technically didn't hide it but it's all the same." He says.

"Yeah if you hadn't stolen my sketch book I wouldn't have had detention. Stupid Mr Smith not understanding the importance of my sketches." I grumble under my breath so only Jace and Sebastian can hear me. They both start laughing.

"I was very disappointed to find no drawing of me on my own in your sketch book. It almost broke my heart I thought we were best friend!" He states a hand over his heart.

"Oh don't worry dearest I have a sketch book dedicated to you, your big head and ego wouldn't fit in a normal sketch pad so I had to buy a bigger one." I say, trying to keep my face as serious as possible. I do actually have a sketch pad with drawings of Jace on his own but it's not just him that one is more like a diary to me than a sketch pad.

"I bet you do." He says and laughs at my attempt at deflating his ego. "Ok my turn. Never have I ever had a crush on someone at this table, doesn't count if you're dating them." He says and picks up his drink, along with me, Simon, Izzy, Alec and Jon. "Ok question to everyone, who was your crush." He says looking at Izzy first. She goes bright red and whispers "Simon." And then drinks more of her drink. Simon looks shocked but Jace asks him who he had a crush on, he states that he had a crush on both me and Izzy and also drinks the rest of his drink. "Ok Jon, it's obvious you fancied Izzy because it would be wrong if you fancied your sister. Alec, who did you fancy?" he asks. Alec manages to cough out that he had a crush on Jace and downs the rest of his drink like Simon and walks to the bar to get another round. "And my dearest Clary who did you fancy?" He questions a gleam in his eye.

"Screw you Herondale you know I was like 12 when I had that crush on you!" I say to him and cross my arms over my chest whilst he and Jon burst out laughing.

"Wait, you had a crush on Jace?" Sebastian asks. I just nod my head. "What about you Jace everyone told who they had crushes on who did you?" he questioned, you could hear slight anger in his voice that his girlfriend had a crush on his best friend.

"I crushed on Clary bad for about a year and a half when we were 11. She was my first kiss, didn't you know?" He asks looking at Sebastian.

"No. I didn't know. I wasn't told." He says and gets up out of his chair and stalks out of the room. I get up and follow him out of the room.

"Seb slow down what's wrong, why are you getting all worked up about this it was years ago." I say catching up with him and pulling him to a stop.

"It's not just that thought Clary. Do you both think I'm blind to the way you act around each other? You are two completely different people with each other. I know what two people in love with each other act like and look at each other like and it's exactly what you and Jace look at each other like." He states tears in his eyes. "I love you Clary, and I love you enough to let you go and be with him if that's what you want. It will hurt like a bitch but I know it's what you want."

"Seb." I say and don't actually know what to say to him. I try again, "Seb… I… I don't know what to say, other than I'm not sure what you see is a two way thing. I want it so badly to work with you but I can't put that part of me away, I am really trying Seb and I really want you to be my person. Please don't leave me." I say to him tears in my eyes as well. He wraps his arms around me in a hug as I hold back the tears.

"I know you're trying Clary, and I'll tell you what we'll do. I want to help you in any way I can so we'll go back in there and act all in love, watch Jace's face when he sees you. He'll light up and then he'll dim down when he sees us kiss, just watch him. And after you do and you still want to be with me then you know that I won't complain, I'm in love with you Clary Fray, and always have been." He kisses me on the forehead and moves to take me back inside, he pauses a second and turns to me and wipes my tears off my face. "There you look beautiful."

Jace's POV

I get up to follow Clary and Seb hopefully to defuse the situation for her, it was only a silly crush, which has lasted for nearly 8 years. Damn how can one girl be stuck in my head for this length of time, I really need to get over her and her being with Sebastian is the best thing for it. I get to them just as they pass through the door. I hear them arguing and don't want to interrupt, but then what I hear shocks me.

"…Do you both think I'm blind to the way you act around each other? You are two completely different people with each other. I know what two people in love with each other act like and look at each other and it's exactly what you and Jace look at each other like. I love you Clary, and I love you enough to let you go and be with him if that's what you want. It will hurt like a bitch but I know it's what you want." Is she really in love with me, and are my feelings that easy to read, damn I hope not. I'm about to push the door and walk into them and tell them that it's not true that we are just really good friends when Clary speaks up.

"Seb." She says back stumbling on her words. "Seb… I… I don't know what to say, other than I'm not sure what you see is a two way thing. I want it so badly to work with you but I can't put that part of me away, I am really trying Seb and I really want you to be my person. Please don't leave me."

"I know you're trying Clary, and I'll tell you what we'll do. I want to help you in any way I can so we'll go back in there and act all in love, watch Jace's face when he sees you. He'll light up and then he'll dim down when he sees us kiss, just watch him. And after you do and if you still want to be with me then you know that I won't complain, I'm in love with you Clary Fray, and always have been."

I hear them shuffle towards the door and quickly make my way back to the table. I sit down and Jon looks at me questions in his eyes. "I couldn't find them they must have gone in a different direction to the way I thought they did." I say to him. I grab my drink and down it in one go. "I'm going to the bar do you want anything?" I ask him, he just shakes his head looking at me suspiciously. I go to the bar and order a large pint of Strongbow and 3 shots. The bar tender gives them to me, I down the shots one after another and grab my drink and make my way back to the table. I see Clary and Sebastian walk back towards the table and I call to them. "Come on guys your making us miss the game." And I drink some of my pint. I see Clary eye me suspiciously and I call them over. Seb kisses her on the lips before he deposits her in the chair next to me again. "Ok guys so I went last whose go is it now? Seb is it your go?" I ask looking towards him.

He looks at me and nods his head. "Never have I ever… eaten Izzy's cooking." He states almost everyone groans remembering what it tasted like and drinks their drinks. We play this for a few more rounds and then everyone comes in and we all stand ready for Jocelyn and Luke.
