To the guest who asked for Clary and Kaelie to be best friends, that will be next chapter, I promise!

This is based on the Taylor Swift song, You Belong with me. Well done to those who guessed! ;)

Chapter 4: Neighbours

I WAS SITTING ON MY BED, FACING THE WINDOW. My window was directly facing my neighbour's son's bedroom. Jace Wayland. They had a nice family, you're typical, kind neighbour.

Jace was pacing back and forth on his phone. Probably with his girlfriend, Seelie. They've been together for a year and a half now. She's most likely going off about something Jace said. She has no sense of humor and takes things way too seriously… I wish they'd break up already!

It's a typical Tuesday night. I was studying while listening to the music that she doesn't like.

I finished an equation, then I felt eyes on me. I looked up to see Jace staring at me. I smile and wave at him awkwardly. It caused him to laugh and then he pulled out a black Sharpie and a notepad. I took out my notepad and Sharpie too.

He turned his pad around.

Hey :)

I smiled and replied to him.

Hai :) You doing okay?

Just tired of all the drama in the world.

Then he opened his window, he gestured for me to do the same. I did.

"Are you gonna break up with her?" I asked.

"I don't know yet, love."

"Well, I'll be here for you."

He smiled at me. "I know. You always are."

"I have to go. Night." I said.

"Good night, love."

We both closed our windows then drew back the curtains.

I was sitting on a bench, reading a book when Jace came along and sat beside me.

We started to talk about his relationship with Seelie. She always flirted with other guys, even in front of him and she pretty much ignores him. He was getting sick of it, I could tell. I changed the subject by asking him about his game. We talked and talked. His smile that I absolutely loved came back. It's been a while since Seelie was always stressing him out.

The sun was shining on his golden hair. He's so beautiful, I know guys aren't supposed to be described as beautiful but he was the definition of it.

"Hey, do you want to come to my game on Friday?" He asked.

I smiled, "Of course."

He grinned then put his arms around me. "Thanks so much, love." He said into my neck. I realised that I was the only person that he called 'Love'. Not even his girlfriends.

I was sitting on the bleachers, watching Jace's football game.

Sebastian Verlac, one of my childhood friends, kicked the ball the Jace and he dodged three people who tried to tackle him. Jace stopped briefly, pulled his right leg back then kicked the ball.

The goalkeeper only just missed the ball and three quarters of the crowd cheered. All the other players picked Jace up and started chanting his name.

Then I saw one of the players talking to Seelie. They flirted and flirted though I didn't know what they were saying. Jace finally came over to them and I saw that the other guy was Meliorn. I thought he was Isabelle's boyfriend…

Seelie and Jace just began to have a full on heated argument, I couldn't really hear them but I could see that Jace was about to break. I hurried down the stairs of the bleachers then I saw Jace walk away from Seelie.

"Jace!" I tried to call out to him but he just kept walking. I finally got off the bleachers then ran to the car park.

I looked around. No sign of Jace or his car. Damn.

"He left." Said a deep voice behind me.

I turned around it was Sebastian. I hadn't talked to him in forever.

He walked towards me. I was suddenly in his arms. I'd been friends with him since I was four. I missed him so I hugged him back. He was all sweaty and slightly out of breath but I didn't really care.

"I've missed you Clare. It's been years since I last hugged you like this."

He pulled away. I smiled. "I missed you too."

"You should go talk to Jace." He said.

"Me? Why me?"

"Because I know you care about him. You are… perfect, you know that? I know you'll be able to help him, hun. I just know."

"Um, okay."

"Great." He kissed my cheek, which made me blush big time. "I'll give you a ride."

I stood in front of Jace's house. I walked slowly towards it. His car was parked there so I knew he was home.

I was about to reach the porch when I chickened out and speed walked to my house. God, Clary.

I got to my room and shut the door. I looked in my closet and found an oversized t-shirt. I removed my top and put it on. It was a Mayday Pride Band tee, it was my brother's. I glanced at the window then saw Jace staring. Crap I didn't draw the curtains!

I went over to the window then opened it. "Did you see that?"

"See what?" Then he winked at me.

I scoffed. But when I looked into his eyes my eyes softened. "Do you want to come over?" My parents are on some business trip and my brother's probably asleep." I offered.

He smiled, only slightly though. "I'd love to."

Jace closed his window then disappeared.

I walked down the stairs then opened the door, to reveal Jace. He was shirtless but he had shorts and flip flops. I let him in and we went up to my room.

"So, are you okay?" I said while closing the door to my bedroom. I turned around then Jace surprised me with a tight embrace. I wrapped my arms around him and hugged him back.

"No, Clary. I'm really not."

"Talk to me about it."

He lay on bed and I lay beside him. "She just keeps flirting with everybody… I hate it. So so much. I tell her about it then she just yells at me."

I turn to face him. Jace looks like he's on the verge of tears.

"Hey," I attempted to get him mind off Seelie. "Do you remember that time that Sebastian was trying to climb that tree but then Isabelle came and said hi to us and he just lost concentration? That was funny right? It was a miracle how he didn't break anything." We spent the whole night reminiscing. It was fine since it was a Friday today so we could stay up late.

I made Jace laugh a couple times. It was great. I fell asleep in his arms with my arm draped over his chest.

And now it's been three weeks. It's prom and I'm studying. I know, pathetic.

I glanced out my window, like I always do and see Jace, putting his blazer on. Boy, does he look hot.

He opened his window and I opened mine.

"You going to the dance?"

"No, I have to study."

"I wish you there with me."

I smiled then he said goodbye.

I looked back at my closet and saw something silver and sparkly slightly sticking out.

I walked over to it and pulled the dress out. "Oh, by the Angel…" I whispered. There was a note attached to it.

Clary, I know there's a forty sixty percent chance
that you'll wear this or even go to prom but please,
if you're thinking about not going think about it again.

I smile to myself. "Jonathan!" I shout, hoping he was still here and not out at a night club.

Then Jon comes rushing in.

"What is it? Are you okay?"

"What's this?" I ask softly, gesturing to the dress.

"Oh, um…" He rubs the back of his neck awkwardly. "I saw it. It looked pretty. So I bought it."

I hang the dress back up and hug him. "Thank you thank you thank you!"

"It was no problem, sis." Then he walked away.

I put the dress on since I showered just half an hour ago. I found some white high heel pumps from my mother's wardrobe. The dress was all patches of sparkling silver, it had a sweetheart neckline and a three foot slit up the skirt. A large piece of silky grey fabric covered most of the back part of the dress. Then I put mascara and some make up on.

I leave my hair down and put it in these beautiful curls. I go to Jon's room. He opens the door after I knock. "Can you take me to the dance?"

"Sure."

I walk into the school gymnasium. Heads turn to face me. Then I see Jace. He's talking to Sebastian. I catch Sebastian's eye. They widened and Jace looked over. He looked stunned then began walking towards me.

Then Seelie comes over in a tight, short red dress. She pulls Jace back. "What are you doing?"

"Look, Seelie. I've already told you we're over." Jace pulls his arm back and placed his hands on the sides of my head.

"Hey," I say.

"You look beautiful." Then he bends down and kisses me.

WOOOOO! Done! Hope you enjoyed it!

Please comment/review.

Leave any suggestions and I will make a story out of them ASAP, I promise!

Love you all ~ Liz Ashley xxx
