I realized after posting the last chapter that I really missed writing the story. I was so happy after I posted it, and excited when I read the comments. Also, I went back and read my whole story, and I have to admit they were pretty bad. I was missing a lot of words, my grammar was kind of off, and I didn't really have the right spelling of some words. I was glad that I seemed to have improved a bit in my writing. But I feel like because of the way my earlier chapters were written, not many new people are going to read my story. Anybody have any ideas as to how I could solve this.
Not even a minute after it occurred to me I was stuck having dinner with Jace, I got a text from Izzy.
Isabelle:
U do know that Alec did that on purpose right?
"Are you kidding me!" I said aloud.
"What?" Jace asked trying to look at my phone. I showed it to him and he smirked. "At least me and my brother are on the same page." I rolled my eyes.
Me:
What the hell?! I'm gonna kill him!
Isabelle:
U should thank me Alec wanted 2 leave you guys like an hour away with no car, I came up with this
Me:
What?! This is ur fault y? I thought you hated me and Jace together
Isabelle:
O I do but I didn't want u 2 to hate each other
Me:
Well now I hate you
Isabelle:
;)
"I can't believe Isabelle helped with this!" I said annoyed.
Jace looked shocked. "Are you serious? There's hope for her yet!"
I laughed at him and suddenly there was a corona in front of me. I looked up and saw Daniel smirking down at me.
"Happy now?"
"Very."Soe
"So, you think you'd be willing to go on a date with me sometime?"
"Ughhhh." Jace groaned. "Hello, remember me over here? This is literally painful and boring to watch. If I can't get a laugh out of me flirting with you and you pretending to not be interested what is the point?"
Daniel and I both rolled out eyes and ignored him. "I'm free next Friday."
"I'll pick you up at seven. You can text me your address later when we talk." And with that he winked at me and left.
"Finally, now can we talk about something interesting!" Jace exclaimed.
"No! No! No! How can you even say that!" I exclaimed.
"Because it is the truth."
"I can't believe you! Iron Man is so much better than the hulk."
"The hulk is a geeky looking guy that then turns into a raged, huge, and strong green monster when he is mad. How cool is some small geeky guy turning into this huge awesome monster! Iron Man is just a man in a suit."
I couldn't believe Jace right now. "Like he said in the avengers when you take a way his suit he is , 'a genius billionaire playboy phliantrophist'. Plus, how can you not love how sarcastic and witty he is, so like I said much better than the hulk. I would just stop there Lightwood, because this is so not a fight you are going to win."
And then our waitress came back with our Jace's card and we got up to leave. I had wanted to split it, but he had insisted. I was surprised seeing as how I thought Jace was almost incapable of being a gentlemen. But I have to admit it was kind of sweet. Especially since I'd heard he wasted as very little as possible on any girl he went out with. But yet here he was even offering to take me to go to the movies or something like bowling, on him.
I smiled to myself. I don't know why but the thought of Jace actually trying to put effort into being nice to me and making sure I didn't spend a dime made me feel strange. It was like butterflies in my stomach. But that couldn't be, after all Jace Lightwod does not give me butterflies. I mean, alright maybe he is decent enough to hang out with. The thought of me and him is strange and unimaginable, right?
"So you wanna go do something, or just head back home?" Be asked me once we were in the car, pulling me out of my thoughts.
"Um.. I don't know. What do you want to do?"
" I don't know! That's why I asked you. So what do you want to do?"
"Like I said, it's up to you."
"Yes, but I'm trying to be a gentlemen and let you decide."
"Jace, I'm not going to do pick something!"
"No! I told you you were going to choose!"
"OH MY GOD JACE! Do we really have to fight about everybody!"
"We don't fight about everything!" He argued with me.
"You see what I mean! How about we just go back to your house if we're going to fight."
"Okay." He sighed seeming disappointed.
"Wait." Jace said unexpectedly holding his arm so I wouldn't pass. We had just gotten back and we were about to go in.
"What?" I asked not knowing what was going on
"It's quiet." He says tells me. "Too quiet. The only time it is ever quiet in that house is when nobody is home, something bad happened, or We're trying to pull a prank."
Jace put his ear to the door and shook his head. "It doesn't make sense. Be careful walking in, we don't know what we will find when we go inside."
"Oh stop being ridiculous!"
He ignored me though, and opened the door slowly before peeking in. He turned left and right to see if he saw anything, but shrugged his shoulders. Jace even made me follow behind him quietly and slowly.
We checked the living room first, and even I had to admit it was a mess. There were throw pillows scattered everywhere and a spilled juice and water bottle. Jace bent down to examine it. "There was a fight here." He says all mysterious like. He motions for me to follow him into the kitchen where we find nothing. But as we go throughout the house we find more things all over. Things like a whole stilleto, a broken off heel, what I think is extensions ( I hope ), and a sweater.
This makes Jace even more crazy, and even more cautious. As we were going up the stairs I heard something that sounded distant, like screaming.
"Jace do you hear that? It sounds like it's coming from the other side of the floor." I tell him once we made it upstairs. He listened for a bit then started walking faster.
"YOU'RE DEAD!" I heard.
Then we just started running and following the screaming which led us to Isabelle's room.
"Oh my god!" I screamed once I saw what was going on. And Jace looked like he was going to faint.
