Bitter Changes

CPOV

What the hell was that? I try to rap my mind around what just happened. I ask the bar tender if he has a first aid kit. He brings it over to me and I start to treat Seb's wounds. He's got a black eye, a few scratches, and bruises. He really got banged up. I rub his head and he hisses out a groan. "Sorry, you ok?"

"Yeah, much better that you're here." he grins up at me. Same old Seb.

"Awe how sweet," I say very sarcastically. "Anyway what happened? Why did Jace beat you up?"

He scowled at me when I said that. "First of all he didn't beat me up. Second it wasn't my fault. He just came and started punching me." He throws his arms up in anger and he winces in pain.

I dab the cool wet towel on his shoulder. "Yeah but why?" I say trying to get more details.

"All I know is I head over to the bathroom and there he is talking to Seelie. I hear her say she wants him and then he says only if she does him a favor. He tells her to distract me and flirt with me. So that he can bring you over and see what's going on. Blame me, we fight and then he comforts you and tries to get into your pants." he looks super angry at the thought. "Clary that guy is no good. You've might have known him years ago but he's changed. He's just an ass trying to have sex with you. He's nothing more than playing piece of shit. Promise me you won't talk to him anymore?" he looks at me pleading.

"Let me talk to him, ok? I want to see why he's doing this. Please?" I ask him kind of scared of what he's going to say or do.

"Clary." he grabs my wrist lightly. Please no. "I don't want you anywhere near him." he grips my wrist really tight. It hurts. "Just be careful ok?" he starts to release my wrist.

I pull my arm back a little and put my hand on his face. "Ok, I promise." I pull him into a kiss. After a moment I wrap my arms around him. "I love you, you know that right?" I whisper into his ear.

"I know. I love you too." he sounds tired as he responds. I decide it's time to head home and gather everyone.

Me and Jon finally get home and I run upstairs to my room. I get changed in my pjs and jump into bed. Literally. I lie down and let sleep carry me away into my dream.

I get into the car and say hi to Seb. I try to give him a kiss but he turns away and I end up kissing his cheek. "What's wrong Seb? You're not feeling well?"

"I fine." he says kind of harshly.

"Seb?" I lean closer to him. He keeps ignoring me. "Sebastian!?" I raise my voice. Next thing I know he grabs my arm vigorously and pulls hard. "Sebastian that hurts let me go." I start getting scared when he doesn't release me. I try to pull away but it's no use. His eyes are as black as coal. His body is tensed and his jaw is locked. I've never seen him so angry before. This is really terrifying. His grip is getting even tighter it hurts so much I start crying. "Sebastian please? What did I do?" I'm almost hysterical.

"You know what you did. You were getting all touchy with Jordan yesterday." He's speaking calmly but harsh.

"I wasn't. You know he doesn't really have any close friends since he moved here only a month ago. (Jordan came into their relationship after 3 months so he's a newbie.) Besides he's in love with Maia. Now please just let go." He releases my wrist and I feel a stinging pain across my hand. I stared at him in shock and terror.

"You're mine, not his. I will hurt you and whoever if this happens again. Be sure to remember that, got it?" I shake my head not wanting to go through what just happened again to me or anyone else.

Huff huff huff. What the hell is with all these dreams? First the night when Jace left and now this? What is going on here? I rub my face and for some reason my face feel wet. Was I crying? Great just great. I can't let this happen again. I just need to sleep. I close my eyes and wait for this weekend to be over.

I finally get home and run up to Jace's room to beat the crap out of him. I get to his door and don't even bother knocking, I just barge right in. I see him sitting on his bed playing fingers. "What the fuck is your problem! I just make new friends and you meet your old friend! Then you decide, what, that punching the crap out of one was the best way to be welcomed into the group!" I realize that he hasn't even turned around to look at me once. "Jace look at me!" he finally turns around and I open my mouth to say something but stop.

"Whatever Iz get out." He just stares blankly at me. "I don't even care."

"Fine." I just exit and go to my room. What just happened? He's back to that again. I start to think about the first time Jace came to our family.

"Guys I want to introduce you guys to Jace. Jace will be your new brother from now on." Mom brings home a boy with blond hair. He's kind of cute but not my type. "Jace this is your new brother Alec and sister Izzy."

"Hey Jace I'm Izzy. Want some cookies? I have some left over." I hand him one and he gladly takes one. Just as he's about take a bite Alec speaks up.

"I wouldn't do that if I were you. Well unless you wanna go to the hospital." I shove him and I see a little smile on Jace's face. It's vanishes after I see, like a blink of an eye. I don't know why but I get this off feeling about him. It's like he's trying to hide himself from us. Maybe he just needs to get use to us. Oh well, let's just give him some time.

Yeah, that time took 3 years. Even though he's opened up I still felt like he wasn't completely here. But when I saw him with Clary and Jon he looked like he was willing to open up. Now, I don't even know anymore. I guess I'll have to see how this plays out. Speaking of, I wonder what kind of girl Simon likes? Ooh if we go out I wonder what our couples name would be. Izmon, no. simbell, ew gross. Hmmm, oh I got it! Sizzy! That's so cute! I hope he likes me.

Finally the weekend is over! I still have to go and confront Jace. Ugh. This is going to suck. I get up, changed, and head out for my jog.

It's cold outside, I'm glad I brought a sweatshirt today. It's been getting clod really fast this year. The leaves are falling even quicker than usual. I wish I could just freeze time and draw this moment. The leaves, light, and the emotions all around us. It's peaceful, energetic, vibrant, lively, and something else. It feel like anger or unwanting. Something off.

I haven't seen Jace today or even yesterday for a matter of fact. I'm happy but I still have to see him today anyway. I make my way home so I can take a shower and meet Simon at Java.

I jump out of the shower and head to my closet. I decide to wear blue jeans and a t-shirt from Fairy Tail that says "MY SPIRITUAL ANIMAL IS ERZA SCARLET." Plus my black combat boots to complete the outfit. I throw my hair up into a ponytail, text Simon I'm on my way and head out the door.

I meet Simon in our usual spot and realize that we're here really early today. I see that he already got our order. "Hey Simon."

"Hey Clary, what's up. You ready to talk to Jace?"

"No and I don't want too either." I put my face in my hand hoping that all of this is just a bad dream.

"Clary I love you and all but I don't even think you need to talk to him. You should just trust him and dump Sebastian." I stare at him in awe. I always that Simon liked Seb. "No I haven't always liked him." Did I say it out loud? "Yes you did. Clary I know he's hit you."

"wha…how…"

"Well since I'm closes to you I pay more attention to things. Like that sometime you have bruises on your arms."

"It's not like he does it all the time. It's been at least 2 months. Don't worry about ok?"

"Fine Clary. Just be safe ok and don't do anything stupid." He gives me a hug.

"I won't I promise." I hug him right back. "So when is your 'band' going to play next? Have you guys even decide on a name yet?"

"We're playing this Saturday at Willing Wallow and yes we did. We're called the SHADOWHUNTERS!" he does a little jazz hand thing. He is such a kid. I love him anyway.

"Well Mr. Shadowhunter, the name is cool but the jazz hands don't really match." He shoves me a little and it can't help but laugh. "Come on let's go to school."

We get to the school and head our separate ways. After I get to my locker I head to class and sit down at my desk. Just before the bell rings Jace comes into the room. Here comes the end for a friendship, maybe?

JAPOV

I have to keep but my wall. I can't let this go again. She is probably going to hate me now. I head into class and see her red hair. I avert my eyes from her direction and sit down at my desk and wait till class is over. Here comes hell.

SePOV

I walk into school and head all the way to the back of it. I get there and see a tall pale blond girl, Seelie. "Hey babe did you wait long?" I don't even give her time to respond and kiss her. God I love being me.

Hey guys! I know, I know. You all hate me. I would too if I were you. Here's a chapter for you guys though. I hope you like this. I'm going to try to make more today, hopefully. I am sorry though. Please forgive me.

Anywhore, if you guys have anything you want me to put in or suggestions don't feel afraid to tell me. Either tell me through pm or reviews.

Review and keep reading!
