AN: Thanks you to my two reviewers, and for the three favorites and twelve follows. All that for one chapter pretty nice feedback.
PLOT INFO: I wrote up ages last night because I found myself a little confused
Clary: 16 years old, in her sophomore year of high school.
Jonathan and Sebastian: Both 18 years old, in their senior years of high school.
Jace: 17 years old, in junior year of high school.
The month is currently May and Clary has one more weekend visit with her dad before being there all summer. Also wanted to mention that all characters are going to be OOC.
CHAPTER TWO
Clary's POV:
My head was pounding and my face felt sticky with all the tears I shed the night before. I had dozed off at some point during my sobbing and when I looked at the clock it read four in the morning. I rolled over and sighed, my pity party was official over since it was now technically Monday morning. I bottled up my feels and everything bad that ever happen was pushed from my mind, until next month anyways. I stretched and decided to get up and get ready for school, knowing I would never fall back asleep. I stood up and started heading for the bathroom, as I was leaving my room my eyes caught a picture sitting on my desk. It was a family picture, Jonathan was 7 and I was 5. It was the last family picture we ever took together. A month after the picture mom found out dad had cheated on her. I still remembered the fight they had, even if I was only five and none of it really made sense until I was older. I remember hearing my parents fighting and the yelling woke Jon and me up. We snuck down and sat on the stairs and listening to them.
Flashback-
"Valentine this is the fourth night this week your home late, and drunk!" Mommy yelled at daddy, I looked at Jonny confused. I wasn't sure what drunk was, I started to ask Jon but he shushed me.
"Jocelyn what do you want from me!?" Daddy yelled back at mommy and she sighed angrily.
"I want the truth Valentine! You smell like cheap whore!" Mommy whisper yelled at daddy and I was confused again, none of this was making sense to me.
"Fine! You want the truth? Here it is, for the last year I've been fucking my secretary. I've just gotten sloppy at hiding it from you because I don't care if you know anymore! I am done pretending to love you, you stuck up selfish bitch! We are not the perfect family you make us act like. I want a DIVORCE!" Daddy screamed all this at mommy and I started crying while Jon jumped up and ran after dad who had stormed out of the house. Mommy had fallen to the floor crying so I ran to her and jumped into her lap and she hugged me tightly. A minute later Jonathan came bsck sniffling, trying to pretend he wasn't cry.
"He left mommy, he told me I couldn't come with him." Jon turned and ran up the stairs to his room slamming his door.

I sighed heavily, I hated thinking about that night my mom was so hurt. It didn't help that he deiced to do that three weeks before Christmas. Most awful Christmas of my life. But thankfully my mom found someone else; she was currently dating a nice man named Luke. They have been dating three years and I think he's awesome.
I deiced to take a quick shower and then I got dressed. I then decided to get my stuff ready for school before wandering into the kitchen and finishing some last minute homework. While I was sitting at the table it dawned on me that Jace hadn't called last night. I rapidly blinked back tears trying to keep it together; my breakdown day was over so I couldn't let this happen. Get. A. Grip. I scolded myself. Jace and I used to be very close, only the last couple of months he's been kind of flaky. I was getting worried that he didn't even want to be friend anymore. I pushed the thought out of my head not wanting to think about it. When I looked at the clock it read 6:30am, school started in about an hour so I threw my shoes on as Jon exited his room.
"You finish your project?" I asked him as he limped past me like a zombie.
"Yeah but I only got about three hours of sleep last night, I feel dead." He whined as he started the coffee pot before grabbing himself a bowl and filling it with cereal. I left the kitchen not wanting anything for breakfast, so I sat on the couch to wait for him to drive me to school. I decided to call my best friend Simon to see how his weekend had been.
"Hey C. how was your weekend at Valentines?" Simon asked as soon as he picked up.
"Oh wonderful of course." I said back sarcastically with an eye roll that he couldn't see but I am sure he knew I was doing it, he knew I loathed my dad and only went every weekend just to see Jace.
"How is golden boy?" Simon asked with a sigh. He wasn't a big fan of Jace; he met him a few times when he would visit me at my dad's house during the summer.
"Ugh I didn't even get to see him this time, he was busy." I decided not to tell Simon that he ditched me because I knew he would be mad and I didn't want him to dislike Jace more then he already did.
"That sucks, but you missed it Magnus threw a huge party, everyone was there." Simon said excitedly.
"Of course the ONE weekend a month I am gone and all the fun things happen." I comment and Simon starts telling me about the party. I half tuned him out not really interested but having to at least pretend so Simon wouldn't worry about me. My mind drifted to my weekend, which had been pretty awful. Not only had Sebastian hurt me but I didn't even get to see Jace. Thankfully Sebastian was only around Friday night so I didn't have to try and doge him all weekend.
-Flashback
I was hiding it my room with the door closed and locked. I was sketching a picture of Jace using my memory of when we would go swimming last summer, and wondering how different he would look this summer then the last two. Suddenly there was a knock at the door and I looked up, wondering who it was. I knew Dad was at work and that Jonathan was hanging out with a couple of friends of his that he made down here. I wasn't sure if Susan was home or not but I knew Sebastian was.
"What!" I finally called when there was another knock at the door.
"Mom wants you." I hesitated, Sebastian has used the this parent or that parent wants to see you to get me out of the room to hurt me so many times it wasn't even funny. But the one time a parent really did want to see me and I refused to come out I got in huge trouble and I wasn't allowed to see Jace for two whole weekends and I was forced to do a thousand chores. So now every time he said it I usually believed him even if he was lying. I finally threw my note book on the floor and got up and opened the door.
"Where is she?" I asked but he just violently shoved me into the room and onto my bed.
"Sebastian please, I can't do this anymore." I cried into my mattress as he forced me to lay on my stomach.
"Shut up." He whispered harshly into my ear. Every weekend, summer and some holidays since I was fourteen this has happened to me. A couple of month ago I just gave up and stopped fighting him, I was sick of having to hide bruises and how much it drained me. But I felt sicker with myself when I didn't fight back. Sebastian punch me in the side and it knocked the wind out of me. He turned me over and pulled my pants down before I had a chance to think. He was out of his pants and inside of me before I could blink. I screamed at the top of my lungs and Sebastian put his giant hand over my month and kept it there while he pounded into me.
"Stop acting like you don't love this." Sebastian said in-between trusts. Tears rain down my face, he finished a few moments later and I sighed in relief as pulled out of me and left the room without a word. I pulled up my own pants as I stumbled to the bathroom to clean myself up. As I worked my way down the hall, I looked down the stairs and noticed that Susan was sitting on the couch watching TV. She looked up at me before turning back to the TV. I stood stunned for a moment, was she home the whole time? Did she ignore my screams for help and let her son rape me? I rushed to the bathroom where I threw up my dinner. What this really happening? I knew Susan hated me but was she really going to ignore what her son was doing to me? I spend the rest of the weekend locked in my room only coming out if Jonathan or my dad was home.
-End flashback
I shivered as Simon asked me a question and I snapped back to reality.
"Sorry what did you say?"
Jace's POV:
I just got home from school and I was now lying on my couch with a bag of chips on my lap and a can of soda in one hand. I was munching on my snack before I placed my soda on the coffee table, only to accidently put it on the ledge and it spilled everywhere.
"Fuck." I cursed as I quickly got up and grabbed some towels to clean it up. My mom would kill me if I ruined her new carpet. She still wasn't over the time Clary and I ruined her favorite carpet a couple of years ago. I laughed a little to myself as I thought about that day.
-Flashback
I am hungry, I complained as Clary and I got out of my pool. She quickly grabbed a towel and hid most of her upper body from me while I loosely wrapped the towel around my waist.
"Let's get some food." She commented as we both walked into my house. Both my parents were at work, we technically weren't supposed to be in the pool unless they were home or Jonathan was over but what they didn't know wouldn't hurt them. I walked into the kitchen and grabbed some chips and salsa.
"Come on let's get eat in the living room and watch some TV." She shrugged and we walked into the living room. We both sat on the floor and watched a random cartoon on the TV while we eat our snack. After the show was over I put the chips and bowl down and stood up.
"I am kind of cold, gonna get dressed." She nodded and we both went to head up stairs to change but we bumped into each other and we both stumbled before basically falling to the floor. I landed on my knees, one of my knees ended up in the salsa bowl. Clary ended up tangled in her towel and was laying on her back looking up at me. We both paused before we suddenly started busting out laughing. I pulled my knee out of the salsa bowl as she started to stand up. Salsa dripped from my knee onto the carpet and we ended up spending two hours trying to get red salsa out of my mom's brand new white carpet.
-End flash back
We did never get that out of the carpet, my mom was livid when she got home. It didn't help that we forgot to change out of our swim suits and got in trouble for swimming on top of the carpet. I shook my head as I finished cleaning up and chucking the towels into the laundry. I realized as I was heading to my room that I hadn't called Clary last night. I cursed myself as I grabbed my phone and quickly pulled her up in my contact list. Clary wasn't the type of girl to hover or stress if I didn't call her and stuff. But sometimes I wish she would at least call me if I said I was going to call and didn't. Sometimes it made me feel like she didn't care, but I knew that wasn't true.
"Hey red." I said when she answered on the third ring.
"Shut up Jace." She said with a light laugh.
"So I was just remembering that time we ruined my mom's carpet." I said and she started laughing.
"Oh my god I will never forget that moment, your knee in the salsa bowl and me on the floor wrapped up in a towel." She giggled and we started talking about other things that happened that first summer we spend together. That summer was the best, even though Clary was really quite at first I had to warm her up to being my friend but towards the end it was great. We would stay up late and have camp outs in my back yard and have waters fights. I wished often that summer that at the end she didn't have to leave. But of course two days before school was supposed to start she packed up and left back to her mom's house. I remember crying a little in my room about it, but then getting angry at myself for crying like a girl. But I really liked her, I still did.
Clary's POV:
Jace finally called, I was so happy. He didn't mention why he didn't call last night but he usually didn't. I was sitting in my room doing homework having just hung up with Jace. I couldn't get the grin off my face. We made plans to hang out the next time I was at my dad's and I couldn't wait.
AN:
Hope you liked, it didn't really move the plot along but I wanted to give some more background and a tiny bit of Jace and Clary cuteness. I hope you don't mine all the flashbacks, if you don't like you might not wanna read because I gonna be doing that a lot in this story! Next chapter will most likely start with Clary's last visit to her dad's before summer. This is gonna be a long story, longer then 'Always Mine' so get ready for a, long road with me!
