Paparazzi chapter 3

A/N: Tell me if Jace is changing too quickly but I couldn't think of anything else that happens before he changes. From now on until summer I'll only be able to update on the weekends but...(read A/N at the end to find out) btw thanks so much for the review and the great response to this story. I really appreciate it. And excuse my attempt to sound wise. :)

Love is inevitable. The weakest become stronger. The strongest of us become weaker. And yet those are the ones who seem to fall the hardest.

Jace's POV

I woke up to the sound of my alarm clock and looked around confusedly. When had I fallen asleep? I sat up and examined the delicate necklace that I still clutched in my hand. I felt a sudden pang of happiness, something I had not felt since I became Jace Lightwood the A-list celebrity instead of Jace Lightwood the kid who got picked on.

After getting dressed and everything, I went down to the kitchen. Tanya, the maid as you would call it was setting the large dining room table that was rarely used.

"Morning." I said to her. She almost dropped all the plates and gaped at me. After a moment, she snapped out of her trance and said,"Good morning, "

"Call me Jace," I said and gave her one of my used-to-be world famous smile. She looked like she almost fainted at my sudden niceness, I must've been rude. Without a word, I slipped out of the room and into the awaiting limo.

Clary's POV

(Clary=Underlined Isabelle= Bold)

Hey wanna hang this afternoon? A moment later, Clary's phone buzzed with a new text message.

Can't, sorry

Oh ok another time then

Course

Clary entered the double doors and gasped.

With Jace

I'm gonna ask her out He thought as her got out of the building, texting the limo driver to pick him up.

Clary's POV

"Isabelle?" Clary gasped staring at her dark haired friend, "What are you doing here?"

"Oh I uh-" Isabelle started but was cut off by Maryse walking into the room.

"Clary you know, you don't have work today" She told me.

"I know, I had to pick up a few things" I responded,still eyeing Isabelle.

"Ok, I'll be in my office if you need me. Have fun girls," Maryse smiled and picked up some files from a nearby desk.

"How did y-" I started asking.

"Isabelle told me all about you." She winked at Isabelle as if to say Good Luck and headed out of the room leaving me and Isabelle staring at each other awkwardly.

"So, care to explain?" I asked. Silence. That's what filled the room for minutes which seemed like hours. I took this time to put the puzzle pieces together in my head. Isabelle is Maryse's daughter. Maryse is Jace mother. So Jace was Isabelle's brother!

I broke the silence by yelling (considering that there was no one else here) "You're Jace Lightwood's sister!" My eyes were as wide as an owl from the astonishment of my new discovery. "Why didn't you tell me?" She motioned for me to sit down.

"I didn't want you to judge, just cause I'm Jace's sister, in a good or bad way. You were the only friend I've had in a while." She explained. I sympathized her. I got where she was coming from after listening to her side of the story. It must've been obvious in my eyes because she breathed out a sigh of relief.

"Forgiven?" She asked just to make sure.

"Forgiven" I agreed and she gave me the biggest hug ever. I later found out that they kept their relationship to Jace a secret because they wanted a normal life.

Third person

Clary and Isabelle were happily chatting away when Jace arrived at the building.

"Izzy?" Jace stood in the middle of the two of them interrupting their talk. Isabelle stared and gaped when she heard the familiar voice call her by her nickname. She hasn't let anybody call her that since he became a jerk.

"J-Jace?" She questioned not knowing if she was seeing things.

"I want to apologize for the last few years and no, I'm not drunk. Now if you'll excuse me, I would like to talk to Clary for a minute." He said.

"Um, ok" said Isabelle distracted still taking in the events that happened in the past minute and moved aside. Jace motioned Clary to a nearby room.

"I'm sorry for how I acted , do you think we could start over?" Jace apologized.

Clary looked into his eyes and could tell that he was truly sorry so she replied, "Sure, I'm Clary," And stuck out her hand.

"Jace" he introduced himself and shook Clary's oustretched hand. Then he gave his dazzling smile and asked hopefully, "Would you like to go out with me?"

"Of course" answered Clary happily.

"Great, I'll pick you up at 10" He handed her a piece of paper with his phone number in it which Clary put in her pocket.

"But how will you know where I live?" Clary asked.

"Trust me, I have my ways" With that, he winked and led her out the door. Before he exited the building, he turned to Isabelle "And Izzy, tell mom to expect me to dinner tonight." He knew it would make them happy as they have been begging him for a year now. He flashed Clary a smile and walked out of the building.

A/N: (continued from top) As I was saying, I'll update on the weekends but... If everyone reviews I might update before the weekend. So basically the point is ( you've most likely heard it before)

Reviews= hyper author= faster chapters

I would write this chapter longer but I wanted a chapter of fluff about the date. :)
