When Jace said party I was not expecting this. Instead I was expecting explict music blasting and people dancing all around. Teenagers drinking alcohol in plastic red cups and long lines for the bathrooms. And I was expecting to not have to talk to or even look at Jace. But I defiantly wasn't expecting Jace and my brothers to have become friends. Especially when they were ready to kill each other on Monday. I mean, how could someone possibly go from hating someone one day, then being best friends with them the next? It was just impossible to believe. Mainly because I'm pretty sure one of them still had a black eye that must have been covered up with makeup, Isabelle's idea no doubt.

If I was being honest, I'd have to say that I was quite disappointed. The whole week when I was bored in some class, I would think about how all I had to do was make it through the week, and then I would be rewarded with an awesome party. It help that I heard the Lightwoods threw the wildest parties. But now I was stuck here. And to think, I went through hours of torcher with Isabelle for nothing,

Five Days Earlier

Jonathon! Sebastian! Slow down. You don't even know if it was him." I screamed.

My brothers ignored me though and continued walking to the stairs of the school. After a few more times of me screaming at them, John finally stopped and turned around causing me to almost walk straight into him.

"Oh please. It was him and I know it. He is a jerk. And if you're defending him, you are an idiot." And with that Jonathan turned around and started walking again, Sebastian walking behind him.

I knew what Jonathan was about to do, and thankfully I knew Sebastian would have no part in it. John was the tough and scary type of guy. But Sebastian however, was the type that looked big and scary like a wolf or bear, but was really all sweet and cuddly like a teddy bear.

Once I got to the hallway, I stopped trying to follow them since it was useless. I did ,however, keep screaming at them.

"Jace is an idiot! I know that. Think about! He is so much of an idiot he probably wouldn't even know how to photo shop. But he isn't stupid enough to get you two pissed off." My attempts are worthless because John and Sebastian just keep walking. Ass hats I thought to myself.

You see the thing is, over the weekend someone posted a picture of me in a racy dress and wrote 'Compliments of an Alicante'.

All of a sudden I feel a hand on my arm, and I look up and see Jace with a face of mock hurt. Crap.

"Do you really think that low of me red?"

I sighed, this was so not the time to be joking around. "Jace your really need to-" I was about to tell him to run, but was to late. What I hadn't noticed was that Seb and John had heard us from down the hall and had walked over here. Then, before me or Jace even had time to comprehend what was happening, John had Jace pinned up against the lockers. Jace was to shocked to do anything.

Jonathan punched him, and that is when Jace snapped out of his trance. He quickly got out of Jonathan's hold and punched him. Finally, after a couple more hits, I realized a crowd was quickly growing and I had to do something.

I managed to squeeze myself between the two disgraces of mankind and tried to calm them down. I gave Jace a look and he nodded then backed away. Jonathan however wasn't so easy to calm down. It took me having to punch him a few times whilst yelling his name to finally look at me.

Then he looked at Jace, then back to me, and then to Jace again. After, he avoid our eyes and looked to the ground, cursing under his breath. When John was done with that, he turned towards the lockers and punched one of them.

By this time, it was obvious Jace had figured out why he was attacked. Even though there was no way I would admit it out loud, I knew Jace was no idiot. At the end of the day he got good grades, worked good under pressure, and could think fast most of the time. You could tell just by looking at the face he had on it wasn't him who post the picture.

You could also tell that Jonathan had just figured it out. '"Listen, Jace" he started "I'm really sorry. I just kind of assumed it was you. You just kind of looked like the jerk type. I didn't even have any other reason for thinking it was you. And I shouldn't have just attacked you without hearing what you had to say about it. Maybe if I'd just talked you before I did this, we could have saved ourselves the bruises. No hard feeling?" John held out his hand too Jace, hoping he'd forgive. But before Jace could do, they were interrupted.

"Mrs. King is coming!" somebody yelled. And with that everybody scrambled to get out of the hallway. Some stayed though, trying to make it look as if they were just hanging out by their lockers.

Seb and John went one way while Jace went another. I watched them walk away not sure what to do.

I knew I should go see how John was. I knew I should want to see how John was. He was my brother after all. But ,I don't know why, but there was a big part of me that wanted to check on Jace. To see how he was. I cursed at my self and turned my back to my brothers' and ran after the devil in disguise.

Why the hell are you doing this? You should be going after John and Seb. Defiantly not goldilocks!

I ignored my thoughts and made my legs keep moving. Something told me that I was thinking with my heart, and not my brain. Of course I pretended I didn't know that and kept half running towards Jace.

I was pretty fast, but Jace had gotten about a 2 minute head start so it took me forever to catch up.

"Jace! Slow down." I yelled trying to catch my breath so he wouldn't know I had decided to follow him there.

He turned around with a look of shock and confusion. I'm shocked and confused to buddy!

"Wha- Clar- Why-" Jace couldn't quite say a sentence or even a full word.

"I don't know. I guess... Maybe I feel guilty since it was kind of my fault. They're my brothers after all. I don't know, I just feel guilty." Lies, I thought to myself.

I didn't feel guilty at all. It wasn't my fault John attacked him. I had tried to stop too. But I couldn't tell him the real reason I was here because even I didn't know.

He gave me a sympathetic look and told me there was no way that was my fault. We talked for a bit on the bleachers for a bit. Mostly about things like how Isabelle couldn't wait to take me shopping, and how Max wanted me to come back, and Jace told me about how Alec kept muttering that he wishes I was there to save him from the chaos.

"You've made quite the impression on the my family Red ( I hope those were the right words to that saying )"

"It seems I have." I said with a little laugh.

I grabbed his face and leaned in a little closer to examine his eye.

"That is defiantly going to become a black eye. Might want to have Isabelle cover it."

He looked at me and shook his head. "It'll only make me look hotter, like I got into a big fight instead of one with only a few blows. Chicks will love it, they'll be all over me."

I shook my head and rolled my eyes. "They're already all over you. I don't see why though. You're an idiot."

We both laughed and I realized that even though I let go of his face, I was still very close to him. I looked at his face and had to admit even with a black eye he was still hot.

He leaned in a little closer and what I saw on his face wasn't the usual Jace. He didn't look cocky, rude, or arrogant. Instead he looked gentle, sweet, and caring. Like a version of Jace that I could actually imagine being friends with or maybe even more.

Our faces were now inches apart now. Suddenly the bell rang and that is when I realized I had missed all of first period. I stormed away, down the bleachers, and ran inside.

Finally! It is complete. You guys don't know how long I've been working on this one chapter or how many times I have had to rewrite this. When I got halfway through my first time, most of it got deleted and a bunch of random words were left. Then I kept forgetting to save it or accidently deleted all of the work I had done. So you cannot imagine how happy I am that this is finally finished and uploaded. I should have another chapter done by Monday since I have almost nothing to do this weekend, but I'm sorry if I forget or something.

Also I tried to make this chapter a little longer, and I hoped you liked it. And for those of you that thought that they were going to have their first kiss now, sorry to tell you but that is not going to be for at least a few more chapters. I want them to get to know each other a little more before they truly find out the feelings they have. A lot of people have been asking me if they'll be Sizzy in this, and don't worry there will be along with Malec too. Probably even before Clace happens. I absolutely love Sizzy and Malec so me not putting them in this would just be wrong. I'm a little upset though because I am still on the beginning of heavingly fire but I've heard rumors that Male is broken up. Is that true? But I hoped you enjoyed it and tell me what you think I should put into the story. Oh and next chapter will be Clary and Isabelle's shopping trip. The party wont be until after that. Sorry id you were looking forward to finding out about the party. But I will tell you that there will be games like truth or dare in that one so it'll probably be split into two chapters.
