Okay I hope you like this chapter
warning:random musical outbursts
disclaimer: I just own the story
i also got more reviews then I was asking for so like I promised here is the next chapter.
A wedding invite? I numbly end the call I was so caught up in my new life that I actually forgot the reason I came here in the first place. My moms wedding.
"Um Jace we'll have to call it a day" I say.
"Why? Who just called" he asks looking concerned.
"Nobody" I say trying to convince myself.
"If it was nobody why not stay here with somebody" he takes a step towards me. So that he is now towering above me.
"I have to go home" I say and dart out of his reach. He grabs my wrist and spins me around.
"Stay" he pleads.
"I have to get home?" It sounds more like a question. He dips in for a kiss and I weave my fingers in his messy golden locks.
"Stay" he whispers before our lips meet. Our lips dance in a battle for dominance. I pull away for air and he rests his forehead on mine.
"Walk me home" I inform him. He nods his head and entwines our fingers together and we walk down the empty streets to my home. Some song comes to my mind and for no apparent reason I feel the need to belt out the lyrics. Jace starts making guitar noises and it feels amazing because we're here together. Not giving a damn at who looks at us funny or questions our motives.
"I walk a lonely road
The only one that I have ever known
Don't know where it goes
But it's home to me and I walk alone"
I'm not alone anymore.
"I walk this empty street
On the Boulevard of Broken Dreams
When the city sleeps
And I'm the only one and I walk alone"
I've been repaired.
"I walk alone
I walk alone
I walk alone
I walk a...
My shadow's the only one that walks beside me
My shallow heart's the only thing that's beating
Sometimes I wish someone up there will find me
'til then I walk alone"
He has found me.
"Ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah, aaah-ah,
Ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah
I'm walking down the line
That divides me somewhere in my mind
On the border line
Of the edge and where I walk alone"
There used to be a wall between us.
"Read between the lines
What's fucked up when everything's alright
Check my vital signs
To know I'm still alive and I walk alone"
I'm alive again.
"I walk alone
I walk alone
I walk alone
I walk a...
My shadow's the only one that walks beside me
My shallow heart's the only thing that's beating
Sometimes I wish someone up there will find me
'til then I walk alone"
There is two shadows now.
"Ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah, aaah-ah
Ah-ah, ah-ah
I walk alone
I walk a...
I walk this empty street
On the Boulevard of Broken Dreams
When the city sleeps
And I'm the only one and I walk a...
My shadow's the only one that walks beside me
My shallow heart's the only thing that's beating
Sometimes I wish someone up there will find me
'til then I walk alone..."
I finish singing and peck Jace on the lips then run inside. Smiling because I'm beyond happy. Then I remember why I came home in the first place and my smile fades like a eraser, erasing pencil lines.
I head to my room and open my laptop. A pinging alerts me to a new message.
It says that a wedding is coming up and I'm invited, its also next week! Wait have they been engaged longer than I thought? Was Luke the reason for my parents divorce?
A note at the bottom says I have to come alone. No way I'm so bringing friends. I feel like a very rebellious teenager for no reason now.

My stomach growls so I climb into the kitchen and grab a cheese string and walk back out. Of course I walk into a wall. Then I realize its Jon.
"Heyyy Clarryy" Jon slurs. Oh great he's drunk. "This is Ssss. . ." He points at the girl with him trying to remember her name by the looks of it.
"Mady" she says sticking out her hand and laughing when I don't shake it. Then they start making out. Right in front of me. Ugh you would think either of them would have a little bit of dignity.
So I shove them out of the way and they both land on their asses. Of course they start laughing again. So I stomp my way to the stairs and remember something.
"Moms getting married" I yell over my shoulder. I hope that gets through his drunken haze.
"So Clare what's up?" Izzy asks when I arrive at Taki's. everybody is here except Jace. I wonder where he could be. "You know you can sit right?" I laugh at my idiocy I probably looked really weird just standing here. Then I'm spun around and my lips become locked with another pair. I relax when I realize its Jace. It feels as if we're the last people on this earth. Of course Izzy ruins it.
"Ugh PDA" Izzy exclaims and Jace and I break apart.
"Hey Clare" Jace smirks at me.
"Hello to you too" I grin up at him.
Kaelie comes and takes our orders while basically shoving her chest in Jace's face. But he's not paying attention he's so preoccupied with me. Once I get my pancakes I decide to break the news.
"I have to go back to L.A" I say. And at the exact same time everyone exclaims "what" except Jace. His eyes are locked with mine looking, almost sad.
"When?" Simon asks.
"Next week" I answer.
"You can't leave" Magnus tells me. Kaelie as if sensing Jace's mood comes back and flirts with him. I'm expecting him to ignore her again, but he doesn't he flirts back. I feel a weight land on my chest and my walls come back up.
"It's only for my moms wedding" I stand up. "But now I don't want to come back" I glance back at Jace then walk out of the restaurant.
I can hear my name being called but I keep walking. I fell for him again and he only broke my heart again. Maybe he isn't worth it, I'll never give my heart away again.
I fling the door to my house open. Jon is standing there, he looks sober. He probably wasn't as drunk as he acted. When he sees me he opens his arms and I run into them. Everything falls down and I fall apart sobbing into his chest. He doesn't ask, I think he knows. He just holds me letting me cry when there's a knock at the door. He sits me on the couch then goes to answer the door.
"What do you want Jace?" I can hear Jon growl.
"Is Clary here?" Jace asks.
"So it was you" Jon speaks again.
"What was?" I can almost picture Jace's confused face.
"You broke her heart not once, but twice" Jon replies.
"Wha—" Jace's confusion is cut of by a smacking sound. I look up off the couch and see Jon's fists into tight balls, and a bruise forming on Jace's jaw. I leap off the couch and grab Jon's hand before he punches Jace again.
"Come on Jon he's not worth it" I say loud enough for Jace to hear. Jon relaxes then walks back to the living room leaving me alone with Jace. "Good bye Jace have a happy life" and then I close the door curling into a ball and rocking back and forth tears streaming down my face.
This green dress I wear makes me look different, not myself, Izzy bought it for me. I look like my mom. But my moms wearing white and walking down an aisle. I'm wearing green and sitting on the sidelines. With my brother, from onlookers we probably looked like lovers. We may be siblings but we are nothing alike at all.
My mom and Luke say there "I do's" and everyone gets up to mingle. People compliment me and Jon then go and congratulate my mom.
"Congratulations you guys" I exclaim and hug my mom. I take a step back when she doesn't hug me back.
"Jonathan you've grown" my mom points out completely ignoring me.
"Hello Jocelyn" Jon gives her the cold shoulder treating her the way she's treating me.
"This is—" Jon cuts her off.
"Luke I know" now Jon is glaring at both of them now.
"Oh right the invitation" Mom says.
"No"
"Then how?" Mom asks.
"Just because I was young doesn't mean I don't remember all the times he came over" Mom pales. What is Jon talking about? "Just cause Dad didn't notice doesn't mean I didn't" I look at my Mom was she cheating on Dad the whole time. "Congrats Mom have a good life" and then Jon is pulling me away, towards the dance floor. I glance back at Mom and she doesn't seem fazed by Jon's speech.
We sit down at the tables and watch the couples dancing softly across the dance floor. Mom looks happy, she doesn't want me anymore. I can't go back to New York because Jace is there. I don't know what to do.
"Want to tell me what happened the other night" Jon says to me.
"We broke up"
"I'm pretty sure there's more" he tells me.
"He started flirting with another girl right in front of me"
"He'll always be a player little sis" then Jon gets up and joins the dancing crowd. Maybe I can't change Jace.
And that's when the hall doors burst open. A group of dark figures shuffle in, it's more like a strut though from where I'm standing they all look pretty confident.
That's when they come towards me.
mwah ha ha I hope you liked and its sort of cliffs again oh damn. R&R I love you all.
