TMI is never gonna be mine.
Evah! Have fun!

Ever since then, I had always visited her. We became fast friends.

Her family treated me like how they treated another family member.

I stayed in their house most often. I was always there that they had the idea of giving me a room of my own.

I was grateful. They told me it was nothing.

After a few months, my parents had a very big fight and they burnt the house down and died with it. I received nothing from them but bad memories. I hated them.

Clary's family took me in since I didn't have any relatives. Both my mom and dad had no siblings.

They provided for me. Gave me food, money, clothing and shelter. They paid for my tuition.

I schooled with her. Treated her like my own sister. But - of course - with benefits.

We had a relationship going on. We were happy. It was awesome.

But all relationships end.

She wanted to go to college in abroad.

I stayed. And waited. For 5 years.

Then I heard she was engaged. I was so heartbroken.

I tried to find someone more than her. But I couldn't. She was too unique.

Her mom – who I called Aunt Jocelyn since they adopted me – and Luke, her stepdad, were worried sick about me. I was beginning to lose hope.

They constantly tried to help me. There was no point. I just couldn't take it.

A year passed, I heard she was coming back. I didn't want to see her. So I tried to be busy. I worked hard.

The day came of her arrival. I went to a club called Pandemonium. I was with another girl who tried flirting with me but I just was not into it.

She caught me. I told the girl to scram but she was persistent. She thought that I was also flirting back. But I wasn't. But Clary thought differently.

She ran away crying the minute I tried to explain. It was all too fast for me. Clary being in the club, seeing me with another girl and running away crying.

I ran after her but failed. She got into a cab before I even had time to tell her to stop.

I got home as soon as possible. Aunt Jocelyn asked me what was wrong. Why did Clary lock her door and cry?

I told her I didn't know but I'll find out.

The phone rang. Aunt Jocelyn answered the phone. She put it down the second I went upstairs. She called out to me. She said Luke needed her in the hospital. Luke was a much respected doctor and she was a famous surgeon.

I told her I'll deal with Clary and she with Luke. She was very grateful. Thanking me too much.

She left and I ran straight to Clary's room.

I knocked. She didn't answer. I knocked several more, telling her I wouldn't leave as long as she didn't talk to me.

I waited. This went on for a few more minutes.

Then suddenly the door opened.

She really cried herself. She was a mess. "Your hair is so messed up it looks like a bird's nest", I said.

She didn't laugh. "What do you need? Leave me alone."

"Your eyes are all puffy and red." I told her, removing a strand of hair from her face.

She just stared at me. "Aren't you going to let me in?"

She stared some more and then moved a bit to give way. I went inside.

She closed the door and sat down on her bed. She waited.

"What was that all about?"

"What do you mean?"

"It's easy enough to understand." I answered spiteful.

"Excuse me?" She practically screamed at me.

I inwardly smiled. I was making her mad. "You may not be excused."

She looked at me incredulously. "I can't believe YOU!"

I smirked. "Believe it."

She shook her head in disbelief.

"I hate you." She told me.

'Ouch', I thought. But I still held my façade. "Well, yes. We all just hate me without a reason."

She looked surprised.

She mumbled something.

"Huh?"

"I said, 'I don't hate you.'" She told me, a little louder than the first.

I was surprised. "Then what was with the running away and crying."

She sniffed.

"Well?"

She shook her head. "I was just away a few years and then I come back and see you with another girl."

"So?"

Her head jerked up suddenly. "SO? IS THAT THE BEST ANSWER YOU COULD EVER THINK OF?" She screamed.

"YEAH, SO. IS THERE ANY OTHER ANSWER LEFT TO ANSWER?" I screamed back.

She was seething with anger but I was too mad to even calm down.

"After all of these years we've been through, I've always told you everything. Freaking EVERYTHING! And you go on flirting with what? Another girl. Wow! Thanks for 'NO SECRETS'."

"Yeah. Well, how about me?"

"'How about you?' What's that supposed to mean?"

"You know what it means."

"Tell me."

She looked at me with so much pain, betrayal and sadness. "You kicked me away from your life. I called everyday ever since I came there. You never answered."

"I did."

"Yeah, the first few ones. Then you stopped."

"Why wouldn't I?" She looked blank.

I sighed in utter frustration. "You were engaged. God, why wouldn't I stop? You tell me 'no secrets' but apparently this does not apply to anything, does it?"

She was speechless.

"I thought so too." I turned to leave but she stopped me.

She hugged me from behind. "Who told you that? That's a lie." She cried to me.

I turned around to face her and kissed her non to gently. I wanted to let her feel my passion, my desire, my hurt and my love for her. All of those just for her.

We broke for air. "I love you too much, Clary. You break my heart and now I'm letting you in. Don't you understand how much I love you?"

She cried, tears running down her sweet, beautiful face. "But I do. I do understand and I love you too."

I hugged her.

"I thought you didn't love me. I mean, you were with that girl. I saw the pictures." She murmured against my chest.

I put my face in her hair. "You mean, the stolen pictures. She was stalking me, you know." I told her softly.

"Really? I thought -"

"Well, you thought wrong." I cut her off.

"We were both wrong. And for your information, I never agreed to any engagement. Ever." She clarified with a laugh.

"I love you."

"Well, I love you too, Jace."

After a few days, you probably know what happened. I proposed. She said yes. We got married the next month.

So to make my life story short, I'll put it like this. On Christmas eve, I met a girl who kissed me underneath the mistletoe. She and I became friends, fell in love and got married. I'm lucky, aren't I? To have a family that I always wanted, get the girl and be with her for the rest of my life.

Review please.
Hope to hear from you!
