A./N. Well hi! The amount of views from yesterday went up by two hundred, and the reviews, follows, and favorites all went up as well! So thanks! It means sososososo much! Anywho, here is chapter six. I thought since I kept you on the edge of your seat (Well I hope I did) I would give you the next chapter! School starts for me in a couple weeks, then dance starts soon after that, so soon I'm going to be able to update only once a week probably. Which I'm sorry about.
Anyways, on to the story!
After this disclaimer: I don't own anything but the plot. All things TMI go to Cassandra Clare.
Clary p.o.v.
I am woken by soft voices murmuring. I notice quickly that Jace is still asleep, so I, as best as I can, detangle myself from him, and walk out into the main hallway, being as quiet as I can.
When I get out there I see something that both surprises me and angers me. I guess what I thought was murmuring was something else.
There, in the hallway, is Simon and Izzy, playing tonsil hockey with each other.
I kind of just gape like a goldfish for a few seconds before I clear my throat, deciding I didn't need to see my two best friends invading each other's mouths.
The both sprung apart from each other like they were poison; their faces turning red.
I just stood there with my arms crossed and an expectant look on my face.
"Clary! I- uh can explain!" Simon stuttered; his classes crooked.
"We- we were uh…" Izzy's attempts at trying to explain their actions no better than Simon's.
"Look, I don't care that you two are together, every single one of us have been waiting for this to happen. It's that neither of you thought you could tell me! I'm your best friend!" I say to them.
They both averted their eyes from both me and each other.
Simon speaks first. "It's not like we didn't want to tell you, Clary. We just wanted to wait until we'd been together longer. We've only been seeing each other a m-…" Then he gets cut off by Izzy jumping on him, stopping him from finishing.
"A MONTH!? You've been seeing each other A MONTH!" I try not to raise my voice too loud, I didn't want to wake anybody.
"Simon!" Izzy hisses. "I'm sorry Clary, we know we should have told you earlier, but we knew once we did, everyone would find out. And right now it's just easier if only we know. Now you as well. So could you just pleeassseeee not tell anyone?" She looks at me, making puppy eyes and I can't resist.
"Agh, fine. I won't tell. But if Alec finds you two one night and the next morning Simon doesn't have a head, well, I warned you." I say, before going into the kitchen for something to drink.
The both smile at me and nod before resuming making out.
Once in the kitchen I get some water. Hoping that it will help me clear my thoughts.
I shiver from the chilly air, noticing now how cold I am without Jace warming me.
I jump and almost scream when a hand touches my arm, lost in my own world I didn't even notice someone come in here.
I turn around, trying to calm my racing heart from my mini heart attack. Though it doesn't do much when I see who it was.
Jace, with his hair ruffled from sleep, his sweat pants hanging low on his hips, smiling at me, actually smiling with amusement dancing in his eyes.
I try and laugh to disguise my open staring, and set my glass down before glaring at him, albeit playfully.
"You almost gave me a heart attack! Who goes around scaring people!?" I whisper scream at him.
"I wasn't being any sort of quiet; you just have a habit of zoning out." He says back to me.
I glare at him before letting a small smile crack through.
He just stares at me, a lazy smile on his face, some emotion I can't describe in his eyes.
"You know, we really didn't get to finish what almost happened earlier. It would be a real shame if it never did." He says, getting closer to me. I notice his voice got lower, and quieter.
"It really would be…" My voice nothing more than a breathy whisper.
He gets closer and closer to me, our lips almost touching before:
"WHAT THE HELL IS THIS!?" I hear Alec yell.
We break apart, yet again. And quickly go out into the hallway, both of our faces flushed.
Jace p.o.v.
Sleeping with Clary in my arms was probably the best thing in the world.
Except for kissing her, which might have happened if Alec hadn't yelled.
We both rush out into the hallway; I hope my face isn't as flushed as hers is. We then notice a very guilty looking Simon and Isabelle and a very enraged looking Alec. Now Alec is normally quiet, but when he gets mad, he gets mad. And he is very angry at the moment.
Clary doesn't even look surprised by this, she probably already knew.
"I can't even- I don't- what the hell is going on!?" He can't even finish his thoughts basically, this is bad.
"Simon and I have been seeing each other, secretly, for about a month…" Isabelle says, looking at the floor.
"A MONTH!?" Alec all but screams.
"That was my reaction too, I just found out a little earlier. I warned you two." Clary says, looking at the pair with an "I told you so" expression.
"We just didn't want everyone to know… We knew everyone would make a big deal out of it, which is true." Simon says, also looking at the floor.
"Well maybe you should have thought about that before making out IN THE HALLWAY!" Alec yells, I just notice he has his jacket and shoes on, along with is holding his car keys.
"You're also being sneaky! Going out for a late night rendezvous with Magnus, hmm?" Izzy shoots back at him.
"Well- I uh…" He stammers, caught red handed.
"So we're all keeping secrets! Jace and Clary have a little secret of their own as well." She says, evil mischief in her eyes.
My eyes go wide and my face pales; I know Clary's is doing the same.
"Wha-what are you talking about Isabelle?" Clary says, her eyes narrowing.
"Just the almost kiss you and Jace had earlier today, along with probably one in the kitchen." She says.
I just stare in horror. This is not happening. Please let me just be dreaming and wake up.
"You- you and Clary?" Alec sputters.
Simon is staring at us similarly to the way Alec is.
"Well nothing actually happened!" I say, trying to defend us.
"I- uh, I'm going to bed." Clary says, before rushing off.
"Me too…" I say, and then all but run away.
Clary p.o.v.
I run into the guest bedroom right next to Izzy's and lock the door. Then slide down the wall and sit against it, my head in my hands.
Someone knocking on the door makes me get up. I unlock it to find Izzy, holding the hand of Simon who's behind her.
"Look Clary, I'm sorry to throw you under the bus like that. It's just; I needed to diffuse Alec before he did something drastic, like call our parents. I'm sorry." She says, sincerely.
I sigh, and then answer. "It's fine Iz, it would have happened eventually. But I'm tired now, so I'm going to sleep. You to go enjoy… Whatever it is you're going to do."
They both smile and nod before going into Izzy's room. I close the door and walk over to the bed. I take off my spandex then I get in and try and fall asleep.
An hour later I decide enough is enough, and I go to Jace's room.
I knock, and then when nobody answers, I walk in.
Jace is asleep, on top of his covers. I notice he decided to ditch his sweatpants, leaving him in only boxers. Again I try and fail not to stare at his six-pack.
He doesn't stir when I close the door, and only moves a little when I get on the bed with him. I turn on my side so I can see him better, and just stare at him for a bit.
His carved chin and cheekbones, the angle of his nose, the curve of his mouth. How the light coming in from his window dances across his golden hair. I notice his face lacks its usual hardness, sleep softening his features.
I scoot closer until I'm touching him. He stirs just a little before opening his eyes.
He looks surprised at first, but he also looks like he expected this. He doesn't jerk away, just brings his arm around me to pull me closer.
"Jace, I…" I start but he cuts me off by kissing me.
And it's everything I've been secretly, and not so secretly, been hoping for.
He moves so he's over me, and I wrap my arms around his neck, tugging at his soft hair.
It's passionate, and I never want it to end. And when it does, we're both out of breath.
"You have no idea how long I've wanted to do that." He says.
"I think I can guess." I say, biting my lip before bringing him back down to me.
A./N. HEYYY! I hope you liked it! I was going to be a meanie and not let you get the Clace you've been waiting for, but decided against it. And to all you Sizzy lovers, that was for you. I had decided to do that yesterday while I was writing chapter five, and thought it would be a great idea. Soooo, yeah! Rate, review, follow, favorite, all of that good stuff.
Always,
Mari
