Clary POV

I wake to a bright flash. It hurts my eyes so I nuzzle my head into my pillow. It moans. I quickly move me head and blink my eyes I look down and see that I was using Jace as a pillow. I look around to see what caused the flash and see Izzy grinning at me. I look at her and she takes another photo of me. I blink the flash light out of my eyes. "Izzy why are you taking photos of me?" I ask still half asleep. I look around the room and realise that everyone is gone, they must be in the kitchen. I can smell pizza.

"Well, Jon asked me to come wake you up, we ordered pizza and if you both don't wake up now then you get none." She says happily.

"Well that doesn't explain why you were taking photos Isabelle. So please tell us what photo you took and actually show us the photo." Jace says sitting up and rubbing his eyes.

"You both looked so adorable all cuddled up together with little smiles on you face I had to take a picture!" She exclaims and hold out her phone towards us to show us the picture and sure enough there is me and Jace, my right leg thrown over both of his, my arm across his chest and both of his holding me to his side. I look out our faces and see that we both have small smiles of contentment on our lips. Jace has his head so it looks like he's sniffing my hair and I'm led on his chest listening to his heart beat.

"Izzy you can't show that to anyone. If Sebastian sees that then he'll throw a hissy fit. I'll never hear the end of it." I say to her looking into her eyes so she can see how serious I am. She nods her head and tells us that the pizza will be getting cold then gets up and leaves. I look at Jace and see that he is already looking at me.

"That was a lovely photo of you red." He says reaching out and tucking a section of my hair behind my ear. As soon as his hand makes contact with my skin I feel an electrical pull towards him. He must feel it do as he drops his hand from my face. He looks into my eyes and I look back into his as well. Slowly we both lean forward and are inches apart when my phone rings startling us both. "Um yeah you get that I'll… I'll go… I'll go get pizza." Jace says and quickly gets up and leaves the living room. I sign and run my hands through my hair. Then I hunt down my phone.

I find it on the table next to the window. I look at who is calling and see that it's Sebastian. I sign again and answer the phone. "Hey Sebastian." I say answering the phone.

"Um Clary I need to talk to you. I didn't want to do this over the phone but I don't think I could do it if I was in front of you looking at you." He says. You can hear the tension in his voice.

"Um… Ok Sebastian, you can tell me anything you know that." I say to him. I hope this is going the way that I think it is going. Crap that makes me feel like a bitch. I feel so horrible for thinking it, but it's true. I hope it's him that will end it, I won't feel as bad then.

He signs, and I can just imagine him running his hand through his hair and tugging on the end of it whilst he does. "Clary I don't think it's the best idea for us to be together any more. I don't know what's going on between you and Jace but I can't be between it. I love you Clary but I don't think that I can be in love with you any more. I will always love you as one of my best friends and I give you the go ahead to get with Jace if that who you want to be with. I know that you wanted to try and make this work, but I can't and I'm so sorry. I'll give you some space so that you can think about what you want to do. But I'd like to stay friends with you, I can't imagine my life without you in it even this way." He says. I'm speechless on my end of the phone. Then I realise that he will probably want me to say something back to him.

"Seb I… I don't know how to thank you. I understand that it must be hard for you to do this and I'm sorry that I couldn't be the one that you wanted me to be. I'm sorry that it had to end this way, but it is better that it does now and not in a few months when everyone is used to us being together. I don't want you to miss out on being with your friends Seb, you can come over whenever you want, don't worry about me." I say to him. He signs again.

"I'm going to France for a few weeks with my Aunty, I'll be back in a few weeks, when school starts maybe." He says his voice strained. "I know we've broken up but can you come and see me before I go? I'm leaving in 4 hours." He asks.

"Yeah, I'll come over now let me just have a few slices of Pizza and I'll be over then." He agrees and we say our good byes. "Guys I'm going over Sebastian's for a little while." I say as I walk into the kitchen and grab a slice of pizza and my car keys off the side.

"Don't be too long Clary, we're going to watch another movie in about 45 minutes. Then it's games night!" Jon shouts

"Okay! I won't be long anyway 20 minutes! Goodbye." I call and slam the door behind me. I start the car and make my way over to Sebastian's house.

When I arrive he's sat on the porch talking to someone who's inside. I hear part of his conversation before he realises that I'm there. "… I don't know if she actually did anything but the way they act together doesn't help. They act like they've been together for years and its upsetting you know." He says and pauses to hear whatever the person on the inside. I cough so he knows I'm here. "Clary!" he exclaims and jumps up out of his seat and walks to by where I'm stood. "You got here fast." He looks over his shoulder as he speaks.

"Yeah we'll you said that you were leaving soon so I thought I'd come over now and say my goodbyes." I say shifting awkwardly from my right foot to my left.

"Sebastian, is this the girl that has broken your heart?" I hear someone with a French accent call, walking down the porch towards us.

"Kailee, leave her alone I told you to stay out of this. I know what I'm doing." Sebastian calls back and turns to watch her come down the steps. She marches straight up to me and slaps me in the face. My head falls to the left and she grabs hold of my hair and pulls it to the side. "Kailee leave her alone." Sebastian calls to her. She pulls more on my hair. I reach up and hit her back. My hand connects with her face and the sound echoes through my ears.

"Bitch loose me go!" I say to her. "What happens between Sebastian and I is our business not yours. So let me go!" She pushes me on to the floor and rolls my over so she's sat on top of me. She pulls on my shirt and whispers in my face.

"Sebastian would have been the best thing that could have ever happened to you! Now leave. If Sebastian want to speak to you then he can call you when he gets back from Paris with me." She gets up and walks back into the house. As soon as she's in the house Sebastian bends down to help me up.

"Clary I'm so sorry about my cousin, I didn't know she would do that I'm really sorry. I think it will be best if you leave now. Please don't tell Jon what happened, he'd have my balls on a silver platter. And look I am upset about what happened but I do still want to be friends with you all I just need some space, do you think that will be okay? When I get back from Paris can we still hang out?" He runs his hands through my hair untangling the bits of grass that caught in it.

"Yeah Seb, of course I still want us to be friends. Your still one of my best friends." I say I reach up on my tip toes and kiss his cheek. "Goodbye Sebastian, I'll see you when you come home. Have a great trip."

"Thanks Clary." He says and then turns to walk back into his house. I turn and jump into my car. I turn it on and drive the short distance back to my house. I stop outside my house and turn the car off. I sit and wait for a few minutes to get my breathing and blush under control. I get out of the car and make my way back up to the house.

"Hey I'm home, anyone alive in here?" I call and hear a few moans of yes coming from the living room I walk in and see everyone sat down trying to decide what movie to put on. "Hm how about that one." I say pointing to 'house at the end of the street'. Jon looks up at me then back down then back up at me.

"Jesus Clary what have you been up to? You have terrible sex hair and a blush so bad over your cheeks. Is that why you went over to Sebastian's is it? Finally decided to lose your V card?" He asks looking up and down at my appearance.

"Oh shut up Jon nothing happened." I say. "I'm going to put my pyjamas on. I won't be long don't start without me." I turn on my feet and make my way up to my room to put my fluffy red pyjamas on. On the way out of the room I hear Jon mutter, 'She definitely went to Sebastian's for a booty call'. I quickly get dressed and walk down stairs. There's a space for me between Jon and Jace so I climb over everyone. As I pass Jon I smack him over the head with my hand.

"Ow Clary what was that for?" He asks I glare at him in my 'you know what it was for' look and he laughs. "Ok so house at the end of the street?" Jon asks and grabs the remote ready to press play on the TV. We all mumble yes and settle down to watch the film. We spend the next few hours watching films and playing games.

At 10 o'clock I decide to tell everyone that Seb and I broke up.

"So guys." I say looking at everyone. Maia, Izzy and Magnus look at me where as the rest just stick to their game, or watching the game being played. They all mumble that they've heard me and for me to continue. I look over to Jace who has just picked up his drink. I better do it fast in case he drinks it fast. I put my head down and look at my hands. "Sebastian and I broke up today." I say. Izzy, Maia and Magnus all shout out 'What' Simon, Jordan and Alec all look over at me sympathetically. Jon pauses his game and turns around to gawp at me and Jace starts to choke on the drink he had in his mouth. I lean forward and awkwardly pat him on the back. Everyone starts asking me questions as I awkwardly pat Jace's back. Finally Jace stops coughing and turns around to face me.

"Couldn't have waited for me to put my drink down before you spoke?" He ask sounding as if he has a strained throat.

"Sorry." I say sheepishly. "Ok guys, so we broke up yes but we did it as friends. We both still want to remain friends. He's going to Paris for a few weeks, I'm not sure if he'll be back before school, he said he might, but we're not together any more. Just for you all to know and won't be weirded out when were not together or not kissing and holding hands and stuff." I say glancing at Jace most of the time during my speech. I can see by his eyes that he's thinking about our almost kiss earlier on. "Ok enough staring is everyone staying because if you are I think we should get some food and put a film on and get into out blankets. Is everyone ok sleeping on the floor?" Everyone mumbles their approval and Izzy, Maia, Magnus and I jump up to go get the food for the rest of us.

"Clary I'm so sorry about you and Sebastian." Izzy says when were in the kitchen.

"No you're not Iz, we all know you want Clace just like the rest of us." Magnus adds whilst opening the cupboard and grabbing two big share bags of Doritos.

"What's Clace?" I ask grabbing a few bottles of water and a few of beer for the boys. I place them on the counter then make my way to the fridge to get some chocolate. As I turn I see Izzy, Maia and Magnus all looking at each other all daring the other to tell me. "Ok guys follow up question. Why are you trying to hide what Clace is from me?" I ask. As I ask the question Jordan walks through the door.

"Clace? Isn't that the name you guys gave as a couple name for Clary and Jace?" He asks grabbing a beer off the counter.

"It's what? Why would we be a couple? He's my best friend. I don't think about us that way." I say gathering up the water and beer in my arms and walk into the living room to hide my blush. As I walk in Jace looks up and is about to comment on my blush but I send him a warning glare and he shuts his mouth. I set everything down on the table in front of the TV grab a beer and sit back between my brother and Jace again and pop the lid. I drink half of the beer before the others are even in from the kitchen. "Ok movie on now please! And yes I'm fine Jon let's just start the movie."

Jon shrugs and presses play on the movie. I lean back against Jace, the way we always sit when watching TV and we clink our beers and settle down to watch the movie.
