My Hidden Self
Chapter 6: Familiar
Izzy POV
On the phone with Jonathon (Izzy/ Jonathon)
Hey
Hey, so what's up?
What makes you think something is up?
I know that we're friends and all, but you never call me unless you need something, you just come over if you want to hang out or most of the times come with me after school since I hang out with Alec a lot.
Wow Jonathon that hurt, really.
Sorry, but it's true. Anyways what did you want?
We need to talk. It's important.
My kind of important or your kind?
Well, I'm saying that it's important so how about you just shut-
How about I what? Shut up? Haha, okay Izzy, but if it is about trying to get me to let you take me shopping then-
It isn't! It isn't! This is way more important, which is saying something coming from me.
Yeah, it really is. Okay what is it?
EEEEEEK! Okay. So you know my brother Jace?
Yes….
Well… you know how he is homeschooled and totally lonely and how we keep talking about how he needs a girlfriend, but anytime that we would try to tell him, he would insist that no girl would understand what he is going through and no girl would accept him?
Yes… Izzy what are you getting at? It's late I want to go to bed.
Well.. I was thinking and I realized that you know the perfect girl for him, and even though I haven't met her yet I know that she is just perfect for him!
Really, and who is this perfect girl?
Well, out of everyone that I know you are closest to her.
Izzy…
Jonathon, its Clary. She is perfect for him.
No, she isn't Jace and Clary aren't going to be together.
Jon, think about it, look at the facts. They both have scars, they both have depression, they both don't like being around other people a lot, and they both feel like no one else understands. Jonathon we have to try. I can't just keep looking at Jace with a blank sad look in his eyes. It is obvious that he is missing something, someone. I'm sure that Clary is too.
Izzy, what if it only makes things worse? What if them being around each other only make their depression worse?
Jonathon, I honestly don't think that there is much that could do that, and both of our parents want them to be around other people their age too, and you know that it's true, so don't deny it. I just… I think that they can help each other, and what's the harm in trying? I'm just asking to arrange something, like a party or something for them to meet. It doesn't really have to be a party but I just think that they need to meet.
We can have a party; I'll get permission for it here. If we're going to do this, I'm going to get something out of it.
Cool, I'll be over tomorrow morning to take Clary Shopping, then you can spend some time with Jonathon, oh and we need to have the party tomorrow night.
If I agree then can I go to bed?
Yes, after you get permission for us to have the party tomorrow and for me to take Clary out.
Alright, deal. I'm going to go do that, then go to bed. Goodnight.
And then the call ended
YES! Is all I can think. I get to meet Clary. I've wanted to meet Clary for a really long time, ever since Jonathon told me about her actually. I have literally been longing to take her shopping; I really want to give her a makeover and she will be totally perfect for Jace, I just know she will. I have to make sure that they get introduced tomorrow, and then they can hang out at the party! She has to be totally stunning when they hang out, and Jonathon is going to help Jace learn how to talk to girls, while I teach Clary all about boys and shopping, it's going to be great tomorrow. I realize that I should probably go tell Jace, just so he has some time to prepare himself both mentally and physically. I get up and go to his room so I can tell him, I don't hear any music so that is probably where he is. When I reach his room I knock on the door and listen for his response, he tells me to come in so I open the door and walk into his room.
"Hey Izzy what's up?" He says
"Why do people always assume that something is up when I talk to them?" UGH I mean seriously? He just asked the same thing as Jonathon, why? I talk to Jace.
" Er- Well Izzy I don't know who else you're talking about, but I asked that because it is kinda late, it's 12:00, and we normally don't talk this late, plus you look like you have something urgent or important to tell me, so out with it."
"Okay, you want me to be blunt, I'll be blunt. Everyone is leaving the house tomorrow and you know that you aren't allowed to be home by yourself, so I made plans."
"Plans Izzy what plans?"
"In the morning you are going to wake up and get yourself ready. We are going to go over to my friend Jonathon's house and you are going to chill with him and he is going to teach you some stuff while I take his little sister out shopping and give her a makeover for that night-"
"A makeover? Izzy why would she need a makeover?"
"Because Jace, we are having a party tomorrow night at their house, and you have to go, and she is one of the hosts so she has to look amazing! Now, prepare yourself and be ready in the morning because we are leaving at 8."
With that I turn and I walk back into my room, I'm going to need every minute of the 5 hours of sleep that I can get.
The next morning
I drag myself out of bed at 5AM wondering what is so important on a Saturday that I had to wake myself up this early. I jump in the shower purely out of instinct because I know I wouldn't wake up this early if it wasn't important. After my shower I'm still tired so I decide to go downstairs to get some coffee and I realized that it was oddly silent for this being my house. Normally at least Alec is awake doing his workouts. Sometimes Jace is awake with Alec working out with him, but that isn't often. As I reach the kitchen and start to make the coffee in the Mr. Coffee, but when I thought of Jace something triggers my memory but I can't remember what, then I remember that everyone except for Jace and I are going to be out of the house today. AHA! That's it! I'm taking Jace over to Jonathon's today, while I take Clary shopping and give her a makeover for the party tonight! This makeover has to be perfect too, because Clary and Jace are meant for each other and I can just feel it and they are hanging out at the party! Jace can't be sleeping! He has to let me get him ready too!
I take my cup of coffee with me and go upstairs until I reach the floor with the boys bedrooms on it. I basically have my own floor because I have a room that is actually my closet because of my amount of clothes, my dancing studio, my makeup room, and my personal movie room for when I want to watch movies with my friends that stay the night, or for when I just want to watch a movie that the rest of them don't want to watch. We have 2 guest rooms up here and still about 5 rooms that don't really have anything in them since I'm the only one on this floor.
I pound on his door, everyone else is already gone, and so I can't wake anyone else up. "Jace! Wake up and open this door now! Hurry up! Jace!"
The door suddenly opens; I guess I didn't hear him coming to open it. I almost fall forward. I look up and I see Jace smirking at me, he obviously found this funny. "Hurry up and shower, I need to get you ready." I say in my no nonsense voice, which obviously didn't work on him.
"Get me ready for what exactly?"
"You're meeting my friend and his sister today, and it's going to be the first time that you've talked to someone your age in a really long time, so you need to make a good impression."
"Izzy, all of your friends are a year older than me."
"I know that, but there still is going to be one person your age."
"Who is that exactly?"
"Jonathon's little sister is your age, and you are going to meet her so no more whining or questioning, go shower and let me pick out your clothes."
"Okay fine."
Jace POV
At first the only thing I can think is thank goodness my closet is the room next to my bedroom, or else this would never work. I sigh and I walk into my shower, why was my family suddenly so into me meeting other people? I decide to take a longer shower because Izzy is going to no doubt need the time to put my outfit together with as picky as she is. After about 20 minutes in the shower I decide that she has had enough time and get out and dry off. A note has been slid under my door and I look at it and see that it is from Izzy telling me that she is going to be in the hallway for when I get changed, and that the clothes I will be wearing are on my bed. I wrap my towel around my waist and go to change. I see that she has given me a white v-neck with my black leather jacket that she got me a year ago. She has also given my dark wash jeans and white converse to wear. I put these on and go out to see what else she has in store for me, I mean seriously I'm a dude, how much could she have. When she sees me she looks me up and down, I assume deciding if she wants to change anything.
"I approve, now let's do your hair." I follow her to her room where she blow dries my hair and then brushes it so that it looks messy but in a good way. She sprayed some texturizing spray in it; at least that is what she told me it was. She then sent me downstairs and told me not to mess up my hair or clothes. I say okay and then leave. I decide on watching a movie while I wait for her to get ready, I watch Corpse Bride. She finally comes down dressed in her normal shopping style, which is shorts, high heels, and a crop top. She grabs her keys and gestures for me to follow, I do. We get in her car and drive in silence until she tells me to make a good impression on this girl, because it would make mom and dad happy. I prepare myself once again before we walk to the door and wait for them to answer. I don't really look at the boy that answers and invites us inside. Once we are inside we get introduced and all that I can see is that there is a girl with fire red hair and emerald green eyes, she is beautiful. With a shock I realize that she is the girl that I saw when I was trying to imagine what my dream girl would look like. Jonathon introduces her as Clary and then she leaves with Izzy. At least I know that I will see her tonight.
