Hello my lovelies! I'm so so so so sorry for not updating sooner. I just couldn't get myself writing, but now I'm here with a new chapter! I want to thank every one of you for reviewing, it means a lot to me! Anyways; here's the chapter three!

Disclaimer: I don't own any of Cassandra Clare's characters!

CPOV

My heart pounded in my chest as I lifted my phone. One new message. From Isabelle. I sighed as I opened the message. She just wanted to make sure Jace was okay with her coming to his house.

Yes, that's fine. I'll see you tomorrow.

-Clary

I replied to her. The phone beeped again and I was ready to snap to whoever had sent it. Will. I took a deep breath and opened the message.

Hey Clary, I do remember you ;)And I do want to meet! Tomorrow? I could take you out to eat or something?

-Will

I smiled widely as I read it. Yes! I thought.

Oh yeah, tomorrow's fine!

-Clary

I replied. I did a little happy dance and tried to keep myself quiet. I threw the phone onto my bed and skipped down the stairs.

"What do you guys want to eat?" I asked happily.

"Oh you don't have to make anything to us. I'm sure we'll find something to eat on ourselves. But thank you." Jace said smiling, Valerie curled up against his side, watching the TV. I nodded and went to sit next to Alexandra.

We watched the TV for a while before Jace told the girls to go to brush their teeth and go to bed.

"I'll come just in a second to say good night." He promised. The girls got up and slowly climbed up the stairs.

"Could you tuck Valerie in? I'll come to say good night to her later?" Jace asked and rubbed his eyes.

"Sure." I said and got up, Jace following me up the stairs. I went into Valerie's room and she was brushing her golden hair, already in her dotted pyjama.

"Hey." I said quietly as I closed the door behind me. She just smiled and continued brushing her long hair.

"Do you want me to read something for you?" I asked as she climbed into her bed.

"No." Valerie shook her head. "Could you tell me about yourself?" She asked.

"Sure. What do you want to hear?" I asked and sat on the edge of her bed.

"Ummm.. Do you have any siblings?"

"Yeah, I have a 12 years old little brother, Max." I smiled " And I also have a 24 years old big brother, Jonathan. Thought he lives in England with his wife and kids."

"Oh, okay." She thought a while before asking "Do you have a best friend?"

I laughed and thought about Simon. "Yes, I do. His name's Simon and he lives in New York."

"You have a boy as a best friend?" Valerie wondered.

"Yes, he's been my best friend since primary school." I laughed. We talked a little more before Jace came to say good night to Valerie. I left them alone and went to check the other girls. Jennifer was already asleep but Alexandra was still awake.

"Good night Alexandra." I whispered to her.

"I can't sleep." She whispered back. "Could you stroke my hair for a while?"

I nodded and went to sit next to her. She put her head on my lap and closed her eyes as I began stroking her hair. It was ver silky and smooth. 10 minutes later her breathing was steady and calm so I started carefully getting up to not wake her up. I looked up and saw Jace standing at the door, smiling at us. As I tiptoed back to hallway Jace turned off the lights in Alexandra's room.

"Thank you Clary." Jace said whispering, walking down the stairs. I nodded and followed him downstairs silently thanking myself for turning off the volumes in my phone as it started buzzing.

Isabelle Lightwood

was on the screen.

"Hey Isabelle." I said as I flopped myself down on the armchair.

"Clary, hi! I'm coming to your place tomorrow, right? Well I thought that I could show you what I do in my free time! Other than shopping, of course. Is that alright to you?" Isabelle asked.

"Umm.. Sure?" I said unsure of what it might be.

"Great! I'll be there at 9 o'clock! I'll see you!" She chirped and hung up.

"Oh shit..." I murmured as Jace walked into the living room, holding two cups of hot chocolate in his hands. He gave the other to me and sat on the couch.

"What happened?" He asked.

"Your sister. Your sister happened." I said, putting my head into my hands after lowering the mug on the table. "She's going to show me what she does in her free time."

Jace bursted out laughing, putting his mug on the table as well so he could grab his stomach.

"I'm glad you think this is funny." I said drily.

"I'm sorry, but you'll going to hate her after tomorrow. Or day after it." Jace laughed.

"Come on! Tell me where she's going to take me!"

"Nope." He said, still laughing. I shook my head and turned my attention back to the TV and some movie. We sat there together for a while before I decided to go to bed. I said my good nights to Jace and climbed up the stairs. After changing into my pajamas I buried myself under the covers and closed my eyes.

"Clary come on! Wake up!" Someone shook me hard.

"NOW!" The same someone yelled.

"Yes, yes I'm up!" I quickly got up and rubbed my eyes. Isabelle was at the end of my bed, her hand on her hip, looking irritated.

"Put these on and come downstairs!" She commanded.

"Yes Ma'am!" I muttered. I looked at the clothes she had picked for me from my closet.

"Oh god, no." I breathed. "No, please no." I didn't know who I was talking to but I needed to get the words out of me.

I grabbed the clothes angrily and stormed into my bathroom. I washed my teeth and face, then taking off my pajamas. Sighing I changed into black tight running tights and neon pink sport bra. I pulled a black t-shirt over the pink bra I hated so much. I went back into my room and looked at the shoes Isabelle had picked. I wasn't actually surprised when I saw my pink Nikes on the floor. I cursed Isabelle into hell in my mind as I walked down the stairs and into the kitchen where Isabelle already was with her nieces.

"Oh Clary! You look great!" Isabelle cheered and threw an apple towards me. Let's just say that my hand and head don't play well together and I lifted my hands to cover my face. The hard apple never hit me and I dared to move my hands away. Jace had grabbed the apple just before it hit my face and was now eating it. He took another from the bowl and offered it to me.

"It's your fault, Isabelle, if I die today." I said to her.

"Oh don't worry! Your not going to die today!" She waved her hand. "But tomorrow's a different story!"

"Oh sweet baby Jesus." I said, more to myself than to her.

"Okay! Let's go now!"

"You got to be kidding me! I can't do that!" I whined, trying to stand with my shaky legs.

"Don't be silly! Of course you can. Here, let me show you once more." She took the TRX ropes from me and did the move easily. Too easily.

"Come on! Try!" She commanded. Sighing I grabbed the ropes again and leaned back. My arms were on fire and my legs barely carried me. I pulled myself up with my hands and back down, feet on the ground all the time.

"Good!" Isabelle cheered next to me, her black hair in a high braided ponytail. Her super long legs were covered with gray training tights and she had a black top pulled over her sport bra. Where I was dripping sweat and my face was as red as my hair, she barely was breathing little harder than normally.

"Now, do it again. Twelve times."

"Oh no, no, no, no. My arms are going to fall off right now." I whined again. Isabelle just looked at me, commanding with her eyes.

"Fine. It's completely your fault if I can't get up tomorrow. Will's going to laugh his ass off tonight 'cause I can't stand on my feet." I spat at her playfully.

"What did you say? Will? As the Taki's Will? The Will?"

"That's him." I said blushing, though I was sure it didn't even show itself on my face since it was already flaming red.

"Okay, we have to get out of here! Now. Come on Clary! I need to get you ready!" She rushed.

I couldn't decide which was worse idea; being at the gym with Isabelle or getting ready for a date with Isabelle. But I followed her as quickly as my legs allowed me to. She dragged me to her car after getting our stuff from the locker room.

Soon we were at the Herondale's and Isabelle told me to go grab something quick to eat before going to my room where she's be waiting. I dragged my feet towards the kitchen and slumped onto the chair.

"Oh I see your alive!" Jace laughed as he walked into the kitchen.

"Somehow, yes. Where are the girls?" I asked, looking around.

"They're with our neighbour. The old lady wanted to spend this day with them. Her own grandchildren never visit." Jace said and I nodded.

"I better get to my room, Isabelle said she would get me ready for the evening." I sighed.

"Oh? Are you going out tonight?" Jace asked as he opened the fridge.

"Ummm." Suddenly I was nervous to say that I'd be going out on a date."Yeah." I finally answered.

I climbed, painfully, up the stairs and into my room, where Isabelle impatiently waited for me. She pushed me into the bathroom and told me to wash and shave myslef. I did as I was told and 20 minutes later I was wrapped into a fluffy white towel, my wet hair hanging against my back. I opened the door to my room and looked for Isabelle. She was digging in the closet, throwing my clothes at me as she saw me stepping out of the bathroom. I lifted something black from the floor and sighed. Of course. It was the sexiest and most-Isabelle-styled panties; Black and lace. I put them on before taking something else black. Bra. My black strapless bra. Right. What the hell is she forcing me to wear.

"Oh, good you've got those on. Now, sit down and let me take care of your hair and that cute little face." She said pinching my cheek. Who does that?

It took her 3 hours to get me ready. I mean I know I'm slow with everything I do, but wow, this beats every record I have of being slow. But I wasn't complaining about the results. She had somehow managed to get my usually unruly and tangled curly hair, into smooth and shiny waves. I had just a little make-up, which I for grateful for, but my eyes were dark and mysterious.

"Oh, wow. Thank you Isabelle." I smiled at her and she went back to my closet to get my dress. I had just stood up from the vanity table as the door opened and I spun around to see who it was.

"I-I uh.. I j-just.. I just c-came to s-see if the girls-s were.. here." Jace stuttered, his eyes roaming up and down on my half naked body.

"Jace, they are at the neighbour's house." I said through my clenched teeth.

"Oh yeah, right." He said, eyes still on my body.

"Jace, get the hell out of here!" Isabelle screeched from the closet. "NOW!"

"Oh, I'm sorry. I'll just go.." He muttered and closed the door again.

"I'm glad that you had something on you, my darling." Isabelle said, gesturing at my body. "Now, get this dress on and I'll get your shoes!"

I took the dress she was offering me, thanking her silently. It was one of my favourites; black maxi dress with long split on the right side. I pulled it carefully over my done hair and wiggled myself into it. Isabelle brought my 5 inch black classy high heels and helped me to get them on.

My phone started to ring and I picked up, seeing it was Will.

"Hey Will."

"Hi Clary, are you ready?" He asked.

"Yeah, I'm ready. Where are you?"

"I'm in front of your house. Come out." He said and hung up.

"Right." I muttered. What's wrong with these people and hunging up on me?!

Isabelle helped me down the stairs and to the front door.

"Where are you going while I'm not here?" I asked her.

"I'm going to spend time with my big brother Jace of course!" I heard Jace groaning. I laughed and opened the door.

"Well, have fun!" She chirped as I walked out of the house.

"You too." I smiled and turned to walk to Will's car. He climbed out of the black Mercedes-Benz and ran to me, offering his arm which I gratefully took and helped me into his car. He was dressed in a nice suit, with a few buttons left open on his white dress-shirt.

"You look great!" I said as I took him in.

"I know." He said and smirked. "just kidding. But you look beautiful. Really." He said smiling.

"Thanks." I blushed and smiled at him. "So, where are you taking me?" I asked as he pulled out of the drive way.

"It's a surprise!" He said mysteriously. "I hope you're not afraid of high places."

Oh no.. And I have a dress..
