Hello guys! So Here is the real chapter 5! Hope you guys forgive me :). And Thanks to my new Beta reader EmeraldEyes1994! Sweeeet! Also guess what! Today I woke up at 7:50 am ate an Orange and ran to the Mall, went Michael Hill the Jewelry store they were havin a raffle ticket contest to the first come, first serve people (moi) and I Won a pair of Diamond earrings! YAY! It made my day xD.
I went past their store 2 days before and saw a sign sayin they were have a HUGE SALE on Oct 27, with a raffle ticket contest. hehe
Also 1 more thing I don't remember if I mention their ages in the beginning, if I didn't Clary is 17, Jace 19 and Oliver 18. So everyone is around the late teens. K? Ok.
Clary's POV 4 days later
I haven't seen Jace since the night in his room. I figured that we should take things slower after the looks Alec gave me, and I was a mundie anyways. Well, at least for now since I don't really know if I am or not. So I avoided Jace when I saw him at the Café; and I kept my curtains closed so I wouldn't be tempted to peek through my window to see him.
Simon and I were in Eric's garage, for band rehearsal. "Guess what, guys?" Eric said, "I booked a gig at Beanz and Beyond, they have bands' night every week. So this Friday night at 7 we got a spot to perform." The other members whooped in celebration.
"Awesome, you're coming right?" Simon asked me.
"Of course, I wouldn't miss it."
"Sweet, my first gig with the band," Kyle said.
"Hey Simon, can I request a song? Please?" I gave him my best begging-child voice.
"Fine, which one?"
" 'You Make Me Feel' … by Cobra Starship."
"Fine," Simon said grudgingly. Everyone else groaned.
"I already made flyers and I'll post them anywhere I can." Eric said.
"Cool," I said.
They started playing and I had to admit they were not bad at all. And ever since Kyle joined the band they've had some sex appeal to attract some more female fans. Simon said they changed their name to Millennium Lint, which is better than their previous name choices. Haha.
Jace's POV
We all sat at the table in silence. "So who was that girl the other night?" said Isabelle, breaking the silence.
"There was another girl here, when?" Max looked up from his cereal and comic book.
"Just eat your cereal, Max" I said. After a moment I decided to answer his question, "Her name is Clary. Besides, can you blame her? No one can resist my glorious body." I wiggled my eyebrows.
"She had no right being here, she's a Mundane," Alec said.
"Mundane…maybe not, she can see through glamours, and a Forsaken almost attacked her, but I killed it before it could get to her."
"Is it possible that she's a Shadow Hunter and doesn't know it?" Isabelle's eyes lit up. "It would be great not being the only girl! You should totally bring her over so we can hang out," she said.
"Maybe she got brainwashed," said Max.
"Brainwashed?" Alec asked.
"Hmm…brainwash. Who could be capable of that sort of thing?" I said.
"Maybe Magnus Bane? The High Warlock of Brooklyn?" Isabelle suggested.
Isabelle could be right; he is The High Warlock of Brooklyn. Clary would be thrilled that we have some sort of lead on what she is.
Isabelle got up and walked toward the kitchen and said, "I'm going out shopping. I'm gonna find me some new boots." She grabbed her keys and stopped in the middle of the door way. "Hey guys check this out," she yelled.
"Millennium Lint band playing
At Beanz and Beyond
7pm Friday Oct.28, 2011
Discount on coffee and biscuits
To everyone who comes"
"We should check it out…get some coffee. I like their coffee." I said.
"That sounds great!"
"Sure, why not," Alec chimed in. "Isn't that tomorrow?"
"It sure is."
Clary's POV
"Simon, you ready for tonight's show?" I called into the dressing room aka unisex bathroom.
He opened the door, his dark hair ruffled with the Rocker look. "You bet, it's pretty cool that there's discount on coffee." He chuckled.
"I know! Well, it's 6:50, you better get up there," I said, pushing him towards the stage.
"Good Luck! Whoop, Whoop." Simon shook his head and laughed.
I was pretty surprised by the number of people in the place. It was probably the discount coffee. People will do anything with a bribe. I took a seat by the window. When I saw a vaguely familiar shape out of the corner of my eye, I turned slightly to get a better view. It was a guy with brown hair slightly curled. He noticed me staring at him and he looked back at me. When I saw his green eyes with that little tint of orange in the middle, I knew exactly who it was.
The band started playing then- a song I recognized as "Sparks" by Coldplay.
"Did I drive you away?
I know what you'll say,
You'll say 'Oh, sing one you know,
But I promise you this,
I'll always look out for you,
Yea that's what I'll do
I Say oh...I say oh…"
"Clary?" Oliver said.
"Oliver! Oh my God you're back! When did you get into town?"
"Today, actually. As soon as I stepped out of the cab some flyer flew in my face and I decided to come here."
"It's great to see you it's been so long." I say. Oliver was my best friend when I was little in elementary school. But in middle school he said his family was moving to Toronto, Canada. It was a sad day, but soon I met Simon and now we're best friends.
"Come here give me a hug," I said to him, reaching my arms out in the hug-me pose. Oliver hugged me hard, and I couldn't help but think that he looked great. He used to be scrawny, but now he looked like he worked out. Damn.
"Remember when we were in the playground and we'd have Monkey Bar races? And then all those times we were on the seesaw?" I said.
"We owned that seesaw," Oliver said, laughing. "Or when we chased the Ice Cream truck down the street?" Oliver said and we both started laughing hard.
"Or when we had movie nights with popcorn and you slept over."
"That one time when you overloaded the popcorn machine and the kernels were exploding everywhere…" I said laughing. "Good times."
"My heart is yours,
It's you that I hold on to,
Yea that's what I'll do
I know I was wrong,
But I won't let you down,
Oh yeah I will,
Yes I will"
That's when I saw Jace, Alec, and Isabelle walk through the door. Nervous thoughts floated through my brain, What are they doing here? Did they see the flyer? Oh crap.
"Hey Clary!" Isabelle said as she ran up to me. "I'm Isabelle, but you probably already know. Sorry I was a bit mean the other day."
"Oh it's fine really," I said nervously. "Did you guys come to see the band?" I asked.
"Came for the coffee, actually," Jace said.
"I said oh,I cry oh.
Yeah, I saw sparks
Yeah, I saw sparks,
And I saw sparks,
Yeah, I saw sparks
Sing it out,"
"So who is this?" Jace asked, glaring at Oliver.
"Oh! Sorry. Jace, this is Oliver Hathaway, we were best friends when we were little until middle school. We did everything together like chase Ice Cream trucks," I said, smiling.
"Until Middle school? Did you guys break up?"
"No. He moved away, and now he just came into town." I grinned.
"Oliver, this is Jace Wayland, my… my neighbor and his adopted brother Alec and sister Isabelle Lightwood."
"Nice to meet you all." Oliver said extending his hand out. Jace shook his hand and I saw Oliver wince by the shake; everyone was quiet all of a sudden.
"Well, this is awkward" Alec said. Yes it was, considering Jace and I were making out a few days ago.
"So Oliver, when are you leaving?" Jace asked. The saying 'If looks could kill' ran through my head.
"Uh… not sure, really. Just looking into some colleges."
"It's very crowded in here. Why don't we all just sit here with you two." Jace said and pulled out a chair and sat down, followed by Isabelle and Alec, who looked uncomfortable.
"So Oliver, where did you come from?" Isabelle said, flipping her hair and smiling sweetly.
"Toronto, Canada."
"How is it up there? Compared to New York?"
"It's like New York. Busy, lots of traffic. The CN tower is a great place to see, if you ever travel there." He winked.
"What's the most dangerous thing you've ever done?" Isabelle asked.
"Oh, come on. The most dangerous thing he could have done would be driving without a seatbelt," Jace said. I decided to kick him under the table. He was being an ass.
"Ow!" he exclaimed. I glared at him.
"Well I'm learning to ride a motorcycle. I guess you could consider that dangerous because there's no protection if you crash except for your helmet," Oliver said proudly. Jace snorted.
"This is a request song from Clary Fray" said Eric in the mike and at that everyone turned their attention when they heard my name. "…'You Make Me Feel by Cobra Starship."
"I love this song! Oliver, Isabelle let's dance!" I grab their hands and pull them toward the makeshift dance floor, and we start dancing as the song starts.
"La la la la la
La la na na na
La la la la la
La la na na na
"Girl I've been all over the world
Looking for you
I'm known for taking what I think I deserve
And you're overdue
"And if you listen you can hear me through the radio
In that bright white noise
What I been missing in my life
What I been dreaming of
You'll be that girl
You'll be that girl
You'll be-"
I turned around to see Jace talking to Alec. I saw him look over and scowl at us.
"Everything you want so let me get up there
I'm the baddest baby in the atmosphere
Tell me what you want so we can do just what you like
"You make me feel that
La la la la la
You make me feel so
La la la la la
You make me feel that
La la la la la
You make me feel so
La la la la la
You,you make me feel that"
Oliver was just swaying back and forth. Isabelle spun me around, then I spun her, she shaking her booty the entire time. Haha.
"Get a little closer to me girl
And you'll understand
'Cause if you want a guy that knows what you need
Well, then I'm your man
"And if I listen I can hear you through my radio
In that bright white noise
What I been missing in my life
What I been dreaming of
You'll be that girl
You'll be that girl
You'll be-
"Everything you want so let me get up there
I'm the baddest baby in the atmosphere
Tell me what you want so we can do just what you like
"Ooh Everything you know I'm flipping upside down
Take you 'round the world
You know I like it loud
Tell me what you want 'cause we can do just what you like
"Put your hands up
Put your hands up
Let the lights drop
Let the lights drop
Make my world stop
Make my world stop"
Everyone was throwing their hands in the air at this point. Then I saw a girl approaching Jace and start asking if they wanted to dance. I watched as Jace and Alec got up and start dancing. I started glaring at the girl. Soon enough Jace left Alec and the girl and began walking my way.
"You make me feel, oh
La la la la la
You make me feel that
La la la la la
You make me feel so
La la la la la
You make me feel that
La la la la la"
"Can I steal Clary from you Oliver?" Jace shouted over the music, but he took my hand anyway, not waiting for a reply. Then the song changed- "Shiver" by Coldplay.
"We might have a lead on your situation; Magnus Bane might have some answers." He held my hand with one of his and his other hand rested on my back as he spun me around.
"So I look in your direction,
But you pay me no attention,do you.
I know you don't listen to me.
cause you say you see straight through me, don't you.
"On and on from the moment I wake,
To the moment I sleep,
I'll be there by your side,
Just you try and stop me,
I'll be waiting in line,
Just to see if you care."
"Magnus Bane? Who is he?"
He leaned closer and whispered in my ear, "The high warlock of Brooklyn." I shivered at the feeling of his minty breath on my ear.
"Did you want me to change?
Well I change for good.
And I want you to know.
That you'll always get your way,
I wanted to say,
"Don't you shiver? shiver, shiver
I'll always be waiting for you,
So you know how much I need ya,
But you never even see me, do you?
And this is my final chance of getting you."
"So how many best guy friends do you have? First Simon now Oliver," he asked. Was that jealousy I detected?
"Well I never really had any girl friends you see… got a problem with that?"
"On and on from the moment I wake...
Did you want me to change? ...
"Sing it loud and clear.
I'll always be waiting for you. (x3)
Yeah I'll always be waiting for you.
And it's you I see, but you don't see me.
And it's you I hear, so loud and clear.
I sing it loud and clear.
And I'll always be waiting for you,
So I look in your direction,"
He spun me outwards and pulled me tight into his arms and looked into my eyes, and then released me into the previous position. "Were you trying to avoid me these past few days? I saw you in the café, and I'm pretty sure you saw me, but then you left?" He ended it on a question, like he wasn't quite sure.
"Not on purpose, I really didn't see you. I'm sorry." He looked like he didn't believe me.
"But you pay me no attention,
And you know how much I need you,
But you never even seen me."
He spun me outwards again and pulled me back and dipped me down. I gasped; his golden eyes were liquefied, they were so hypnotizing I could have gotten lost in them forever. I looked down at his lips, remembering how great they felt on mine a few days ago. The song ended, and we got brought to reality.
"Thanks everyone for coming! Have great night!" Kyle said in the microphone.
Jace then released me. I said, "Well, I'm going to congratulate Simon and the band… talk to you later?" with that I left Jace.
I made my way through the crowd until I got to Simon, then tapped him on the shoulder, "Simon that was great! The band sounded awesome; you guys are getting better and better."
"Thanks Clary it really means a lot; didn't know so many people would actually come, it's crazy."
"I know!"
"So who's that new guy you were talking with?"
"Oh, Oliver, he was my best friend when I was little, he just came into town." I saw his face fall a little.
"Don't worry, Simon, you'll still my Number One Best Friend." I nudged his arm.
He grinned. "Good," he said.
I turned to see if Jace was still there, but it looked like they had left already. Only Oliver was left; Jace didn't even say good-bye.
"Come on I'll introduce you," I said to Simon.
"Ok," he took off his guitar and put it in the stand.
"Oliver, this is Simon Lewis, my current best friend."
"Oh, I see; you replaced me." He grinned because I know he's joking. He's still my best friend.
"Nice to meet you," Simon said.
"You too." They both shook hands.
"Well I got to get going, Clary," Oliver said.
"Ok, if you want to hang out I still live in the same house."
"Cool, sure. Talk to you later, Simon."
"See you later." I watched him until he disappeared around the corner.
"Do you want to take a cab home together?" I asked Simon.
"Yeah sure, when we're done packing up."
Well, tonight was definitely a night to remember.
This is the longest chapter ever! Well maybe cause I put song lyrics, that's why its longer… HeHe… I hope you guys enjoyed it! Good nite!
