A/N: Heyy so if you haven't got it yet I'm English so in this chapter I will mention football and rugby, so if you don't know what they are, it's not important to the story-line so it doesn't matter but if you want to know look it up :) Also I will spell things the English way so some of the spelling may be different and the other mistakes are because I'm terrible at spelling :P

And just saying I know nothing about cheerleading so it might be wrong...

So guys review, favorite or follow if you like it :D I don't think I need to put a disclaimer since you should already know but just in case... DISCLAIMER STUFF ;)

Chapter 11:

All I see is darkness, it is as if I was plunged into a massive vat of tar, I can't hear or smell anything either. It has been like this for a minute or so now, before that at least I could hear and feel, there was a lot of what seemed like me being carried and I could hear voices but I could neither place them nor know what they were saying.

Suddenly a huge pain erupted in my head and I wanted to groan at it but any sound died in my throat, and bright white light fills my vision. I want to back away from it but it engulfs me and I seem frozen in reality: unable to do anything, see, smell, hear and feel anything.

So when I felt a tingling on my arm I am shocked. It wasn't a bad sort but in fact I liked it, I didn't want it to stop. The tingling started to move up my arm, leaving behind what felt like sparks behind in it's wake, towards my shoulder and up my neck. I want to shiver but my body disobeys me. The bright light seems to dissolve into black again, the pain in my head grows stronger and my eyes fly open.

0.o.0

Cris' eyes fly open, she was breathing heavily, when her vision finally starts to settle and she blinks the remaining fog away. She can just see a figure in front of her, through the haziness and when her full vision returns out of the corner of her eye she sees a pair of hazel eyes staring intently at her. She feels something warm in her hand, it was a bit rough and callused but she didn't mind. He was just about to take his hand away from hers, realising she was awake and that she probably wouldn't like it, when she held on to his hand not letting him take it back.

She moves her head to look at him better, when the pain in her head intensifies. She gasps at it and Jamie squeezes her hand and says "Don't move your head," quite protectively. "There goes my plan to sell it on eBay" She says with a sarcastic tone, which was a bit rough due to just talking for the first time since she blacked out, but she was smiling as she did so. He laughed at this and she thought of the others. "Where are the others?" she asks and Jamie smiles at this "I'm not good enough for you am I?" he says with mock hurt and Cris gives a throaty laugh. "They're out side, Izzy got sent out for shouting at the nurse's for being incompetent," Cris laughed at this, as it was normal for Izzy to do something like that. "The others went out to calm her down and I think Jem went to get you some water for when you would wake up," Guilt flooded through her at the thought of Jem. "Why are you still here then, shouldn't you be in lessons?" He gave off a mixture of a laugh and a scoff and said "And I thought my company would be highly appreciated, and while I knew people fainted in my presence, I never knew people could come out of one in my presence as well" This made Cris smile again. "I'm pleasured to be the first,"

He smiled and then Jem came in looking pale and, if Cris wasn't wrong, a little angry. "Jem!" Cris exclaimed a smile on her face and she let go of Jamie's hand, who retracted his almost reluctantly. He went to sit down next to Jamie and said "How'd you feel?" sounding concerned but his voice was a little hard. Because of this Cris looked at him confusingly but she decided to leave it and said "Yeah, I'm fine, my head hurts though," and at that she shifted and pain shot through her leg and she yelped a bit as the enormous pain shot through her.

Jamie and Jem both looked to her concerned "Dammit," Cris said, this confirmed that the guy broke her leg. Jem pulled at the blanket lightly to expose her broken leg, it looked perfectly normal apart from the lump sticking out slightly. Cris cringed away not wanting to look at the broken bone poking out covered by skin.

"How didn't they notice this?" Jamie questioned and Cris said "Can one of you bring Izzy and the others in," they seem confused at this but Jem got up to bring them in. After Jem disappeared out the door, Jamie asked with a smirk "Why?" Cris laughed at the answer but only told Jamie "You'll find out" Jamie looked at Cris with inquisitive eyes and she added, just to make him a little bit nervous "But if she passes out, one of you will have to help her," Jamie gives me a shocked expression and Cris smiles mischievously.

Just then they practically run into the room and Izzy and Clary give her a suffocating hug. The others seem to have some restraint and wait for Clary and Izzy to let go to give her a suffocating hug. After they're all done Jamie gets up off his seat and offers it to the group, so at least some of them could sit. Izzy goes pale and looks like she is going to be sick at the sight of Cris' leg, at this Jamie smiles knowingly at Cris. Clary then grabs Cris' hand and leans her head on the bed "You died Cris you actually dies," Clary says while sounding as if she is about to cry. Cris looked to the others surprised, most all of them bowed their heads and Maia nodded. "Clary its okay, it's going to be okay, I'm fine" Cris says reassuringly in a soft voice. "Fine, fine! Cris you nearly died, that is not fine" Simon nearly shouts and Cris fights the urge to face palm. Izzy gives him the meanest death stare while continuing to try and calm down Clary.

"Jesus, Simon, can't you think before you speak," Tessa says, her and the others are clearly annoyed by Simon setting off Clary again. "I'm sorry but I don't know…" He stammers then as if he doesn't want to say the words. "Cris if you died, I don't' know what I would do…" and before he could carry on, as this was clearly a conversation for another time with less people listening and he was going to make Clary become dehydrated at this rate, Cris said "Simon come here" as she gestured towards the other side of the bed from the girl. She put her free arm up, since the other was now obtained by Clary, and pulled him into a hug, "Simon" she breathes so only he can hear what she is saying "I promise, you won't have to put up with me dying because I swear on the angel, you are dying before me" Cris finishes as Simon gives her a small laugh and sits on the edge of the bed.

I squeeze Clary's hand and she stops crying "I'm sorry, it's just…" she pauses then and before she can speak again Cris says "Clary, you have nothing to apologise for, if anything I'm quite honoured you care that much," Clary gives Cris a smile at this. "We all care that much," Tris says and all the girls nod. Cris smiles and Clary squeezes her hand, let's go and says "I'm going to find Jace," Cris is shocked at this "Jace?" They all look with amusement, "Jeez, you guys didn't tell me they got back," she looked at the girls and the girls looked sorry but had smiles on their faces. "Literally the first, thing you should've said coming in to this room is 'Oh, hey and Will and Jace are back'" Cris had been friends with Jace and Will since she was small, and had practically grew up with them and Simon, no wonder I'm not much of a girly girl she thought.

So Clary and Tessa went off to find them "Jeez any other secrets I should hear?" she said jokingly but the others looked to one another as if questioning whether they should tell her. "What is it?" Cris asked them but looked at Simon who was still sitting on the edge of her bed; she knew Simon couldn't keep anything from her. She sat up painfully and Jem said "Cris, you don't want to know" At this anger rose from within her "You can't tell me what I do and do not want to know!" she shouted and Jem seemed shocked by this outburst.

Suddenly she didn't want to be in the room anymore; she wanted to be alone, outside and away from the smells from the hospital. She pulled the blankets from over her and pulled out the IV line, it hurt and started bleeding immediately but she didn't care anymore. They all seemed to be shocked as Maia protested, being the only one not shocked. She swung her feet off the bed; one foot had a sock and a shoe while the other was bear. She leant on her covered foot and stepped forward and as soon as she put weight on the broken leg, which she had totally forgotten about in her anger, she tumbled forward only to be caught by a pair of strong arms.

She looked up and saw Jamie's face staring down at her with concern, she was caged in Jamie's arms but she didn't mind. Abruptly she lost it, she swung her arms round Jamie's neck and buried her face in his shoulder and cried. She let out all emotions she had in her: anger, sadness, frustrated-ness. She bunched up his blazer with her fists and continued to cry. He didn't seem to mind it; in fact he wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her closer. Jamie didn't bother whispering phrases like 'it'll be alright' or 'its fine' because they both knew that he doesn't/couldn't know that. If he did whisper them it wouldn't have made any difference because to Cris they were lies, just ways to empathise with her. And she liked him that little bit more that he didn't say them or push her away.

She didn't care what the others thought and at that moment she didn't care how they felt about it. She had stopped crying by now but didn't let go, "Cris" Jem says softly he puts a hand on her shoulder, as if to comfort her, but she flinches at his touch and shakes him off. Jem removes his hand and she feels him step back. Right now Cris doesn't care if he's offended or not, she knows she should but she just doesn't. She feels Jamie shrug beneath her. "Cris," Tris says lightly and, since it's one of the girls, she looks up, removing her head from Jamie's shoulder.

Cris let go of Jamie and he helped her stand on her own. Then the girls all hug her in one massive hug. "Cris, you might want to rest that leg, it needs to get a cast" Simon says and she takes his hand and she hops to her bed. She then hugs Simon and whispers "I'm sorry," against his ear. She feels him shiver and he lets go. "Don't be," Simon says.

At that Jace and Will run into the room, with Tessa and Clary smiling behind them like they were looking at their children playing. Her mood immediately rises at this. Will gets to her first and picks her up, bridal style, he swings her round while Cris screeches and shouts at him to put her down. "Crisi" he says mockingly, he was the only one that ever called her that because she really didn't like it but she couldn't stop Will and Jace calling her that. "You know that's not going to happen," Will says smiling so Cris says "Tessa, keep your boyfriend on the lead, he goes wolf mode when he isn't" Will scowls at this and they laugh. "Okay I really didn't want to do this but you left me no choice," Will says with a smirk and he stops spinning her. Cris suddenly realises what he is talking about, "No, no Will please no" she screams with glee but she was kind of scared as he handed her to Jace, Cris was thrashing with her good leg and beating his chest with her arms. "Oh, Will," she heard Katniss sigh and Maia says "Will, Cris will probably kill you," Cris nods her head and Jace smirks at her "Don't you dare, Herondale" Cris says narrowing her eyes at him.

"I think the roof is too low in here," Will says smiling, Jem and Jamie look confused but the rest know too well what is going to happen. Clary the tries her go at it "Motion that she can't because of her leg," Clary says hopefully, they know Cris hates this and normally gets bruises, but since last time did this Jace got concussion, not during it but after when Cris 'accidently' pressed too on one of his pressure points, they thought it was worse for the boys than Cris but for some reason they loved to do this. Cris had no clue why. "Counter?" Will asked Jace who smiled, "I won't hurt her," was all Jace said un-reassuringly. Will seemed to ponder this but we knew he knew the answer "Motion denied" Will said to Clary, who looked sympathetically to Cris. Jace smirked at Clary's expression. Cris, unfortunately, knew this smirk way to well.

"Charmander, don't you dare," she didn't often use that nickname for Jace but it was funny to name the Herondale's after Pokémon because Jace, although he did like Charmander, did not think he resembled it, whereas Cris did, and he also didn't think he had a personality like Charmander, Cris did. Though Cris thought Will was Pikachu, because he could be all cute and sweet one minute and the next, if he was angry, he could get dangerous, not that Will ever hurt her but he had quite seriously hurt Cris' ex, the guy deserved it though.

"Just for that it's going to last longer," He said smirking and then he sprinted outside, with Cris still in his arms. "No" Cris screeched. Jace flew out the doors and rushed outside. The school day must have ended as the school was deserted, even the classrooms they rushed past were empty.

"Jace?" Cris asked, now curious "Yeah, Annie" Cris sighed, normally only Simon called her that, she didn't need more people to do it. "What's the time?" Jace seemed confused but answered nevertheless "Um, like half one why?" Now it was Cris' time to be confused "Why is no one here?" Cris askes "The police sent everyone home but since you had to stay here, we did to," A warm feeling spread through Cris, aw that is so sweet.

"I would 'awww' if you weren't going to do what you are," Jace laughs and they reached the outside, the brisk wind hit her but she was lucky to still have her blazer on, huh first time I've said that. Cris smiled at the thought. The others flooded through the doors, Will came up to Jace and held his arms out. "Herondale's I will set ducks on you!" Cris threatened, she had tried all else but it wasn't good enough, she was pulling out the big guns.

Both of them paused, and looked at each other, then at Cris to see if she was lying. She started at them closing off all thoughts so they couldn't see them. She heard the collective gasp from everyone. They knew what both of them thought of ducks and Cris decided to use that to her advantage. Amusement crossed the Herondale's faces and they smiled. "Dammit" Cris cussed knowing it had failed. "Now Cris are we going to do it properly or are you going to fall head first on to Will," Jace asked and smiled. "That's for me to know and you to find out," Cris winked to Will who laughed slightly but she could see a glimmer of anxiety.

Jace leaned it and whispered "Now because of your leg, you'll need to reverse the move so that you land on your hands instead of feat, okay?" Ugh I hate cheerleading she thought as Jace stood her up, lifting her lightly off the ground do she didn't stand on her leg. Cris breathed in and nodded, Jace threw her up into the air, Cris did a double axel then put her arms out over her head.

Her hands collided with Will's and she bent her arms a little, to create less tension in her arms, so, you know, they didn't break. She was no looking at Will in the face, her being upside down with her legs pointed straight into the air. Will smirked at her, deliberately keeping her up longer so everyone could see her underwear. She smirked back as he was yet to realise she was wearing shorts under her school skirt. He flipped her again, she turned so that she if she landed on the ground her back would hit it, and her back crashed into Jace's arms holding her bridal style again.

Jamie, Jem and Simon were all staring at her in wonder, although Simon had seen her do it a million times before. "Cris that was amazing, you should so do cheerleading!" Izzy squealed and Cris had only had this conversation with her a thousand times. "Firstly, our school doesn't do cheerleading and it would be a bit weird if I were to do it at a football or rugby match" Cris started, it was true, while our school excelled at nearly all sports, they never had cheerleaders at the games or did it in school, I guess it's an American thing she thought as she wondered if American schools really did that.

"Secondly, if our school was to do it, I wouldn't because of uniforms," Izzy made a noise in the back of her throat of disapproval, Cris and most of the other girls in there group hated wearing short skirts and tight tops, which Izzy lived in. "Thirdly, if I was a cheerleader I couldn't be the person thrown, I'm too heavy," Everyone scoffed at this, Clary or Tris should've been the one being thrown around, they're small and skinny, Cris considered herself neither and Cris asked "What?" Will replies rhetorically "How come all the boys here can carry you then?" Cris smiles and says "I don't know, are you x-men?"

They all laughed as Jace and Will simultaneously said "Dibs on Wolverine" They started of walking back to the room when Cris said "Jace, you can put me down now," He simply smiled at this, although Cris hated being picked up people seemed to do it a lot lately, and said "What kind of gentleman would I be if I did?" Cris sighed and she heard Will scoff, Jace couldn't really be described as a gentleman to anyone but Clary, she really brought out the best in Jace, since Cris knew Jace for a long time she knew how he changed when he met Clary. He actually started being nice, only some of the time though, and funnily enough Tessa had the same effect on Will. Herondale's: a weird species that think they don't need anyone else but is lost without their girl, huh she thought with a smile.

"A less annoying one," Cris said sweetly and she heard Will bark a laugh, Jace frowned but she could tell he was smiling.
