Chapter eight

Isabelle POV

Ever since I met Clary I knew in that moment that we would be best friends and also considering that she turned down Jace in just one minute which also drew me to her because every time I have a friend they use me for my brother and Clary isn't doing that. Yeah sure I have Maia and Jordan but they never come up for air long enough to have a full conversation.

Over the past week getting to know Clary is so fun. Lately when I text her Jace has been asking how is she, what she doing etc I think I should warn her that Jace is being a bit stalkerish but then again once Clary has gotten here he has completely stopped his player ways which is strange. I have been watching them in class and at lunch they look so cute together and they should get together but then they can't because 1) Jace is keeping a secret and 2) he thinks there is something going on between Clary and Seb but I am going to put a stop to this. Isabelle Lightwood is getting Fray and Wayland together but then again their relationship is going to be based on lies; damn you Wayland!

Its Monday again and we are picking up Clary and Jace is acting so nervous in the car he is so love struck. Plan is in action. Clary opens the door and is half way down the steps then a women comes out and she doesn't even look like Clary and then Si and Seb say that the women isn't Clary's mum and we are all confused. During the car ride we are all singing and having fun and then a song comes on and I was about to change it but Clary stopped me and she leant her head against the window and I could see from the corner of my eye that she is crying. What is happening here?

The day is going really quick especially once you see Clary and Jace laughing and joking and also hugging so I guess they have made up. We stand at break again laughing and joking and then we all shut up and Clary is laughing. Then we tell her to turn around and she runs up and hugs the hot police officer I am so jealous of her. We all get introduced and Officer Jackson says "Clary your memory is coming back, I'm so happy for you and may be soon you can remember what happened that night and we can arrest the bastard that hurt-'' Then she pulls him away.

"Si and Seb what can you remember about Clary?"

"Everything that we have told you we don't know what that was about but I can tell she has been off edge lately that's it. Why?" Seb says and Jace doesn't look amused.

"No reason she's kind of a mystery isn't she?" Then Clary comes back and Jackson says his goodbye and then break is over and we all walk to class but we corner Clary before she goes into class and ask her what was that about but she says that she needs to talk to us at lunch and then she power walks away.

Lunch time comes around and we all meet up at our lockers and walk in to see Clary sitting at the table alone. We take a seat. Inhaled deeply and Clary started. How can someone beat up a helpless little girl who hasn't hurt anyone at all? Simon asks her about her mother and Clary cries and she says that her mother was murdered and now I feel like a bitch. I am shell-shocked and glued to my seat and I notice that no one is speaking so she stands up to walk away but Jace stops her and hugs her and she cried into his chest. I look over to Seb who looks like he's been punched in the face. Jace tells Clary about his father but he hasn't spoke to me or Alec about what actually happened. He is getting close to her and he is going to reveal his secret and not only would he be shit so will we but if he trusts her enough I will follow his lead.

After school ends I invite Clary to stay over and she agrees, I think it's about time her and Jace get a little alone time if you know what I mean. In the car ride home Jace looks anxious but excited but we know why. I drop Clary off at her home and she says she'll see us in an hour or so and she'll get Rose or Luke to bring her over to our house. Jace looks pissed.

Jace POV

What the hell was Izzy thinking? With Clary staying us all have to be extra careful in how we act and what we say. Izzy just made this the most difficult three days of my life.

"Izzy what the hell are you thinking? Have you gone mad or have you just got more stupid?"

"Jace seriously you knew this was going to happen. I and Clary are friends so don't let your feelings corrupt my friendship like the others"

"That's why you invited Clary to stay because you think I'm going to take her away from you, I wouldn't do that she's different the good different. I don't know what it is about her I feel like I can be myself and tell her everything"

"Well you can't Jace if she finds out you're going to be a whole lot of fucking trouble and she doesn't feel anything for you"

"Actually I think she does"

"How? Jace you didn't for god sake keep yourself in control" with that she stops the car and I fly forward and she steps out of the car and runs up to the house and slams the door in my face. The next couple of days are going to be fun.
