Authors Note: Sorry once again for the slow update I've been really busy again which was unexpected but anyways Here the update!!! Oh btw I know nothing about poker so if things are wrong I'm sorry but this is going to be Called Megan's style of poker okay?
Recap:
"Nothing just had to come up and get something." I told her staring at the wall behind her knowing perfectly well that I would tell her everything i heard. I didn't know why but I just felt like she shouldn't know. "Oh well the popcorn is popped the movie is on the title menu and now all we need is some tissues." I playful rolled my eyes. "Yes! Sappy Chick-flicks HERE WE COME!!!" I stood up and linked my arm into hers as we walked back down into the living room laughing at my "Dorkness" as she politely called it. It was kinda hard not thinking about what Jace and his buddies were talking about. All I know is that no matter what... I'm going to find out.
Present DAYYYYy:
Jace P.O.V:
"So how are you exactly planning to ditch her at the dance?" "Seriously I mean I think she's going to notice if you aren't really dancing with her you know what I mean?" "I still can't believe you are going with the bet still...I thought for sure you would have quite by now." They all started questioning me at once. I held up my hand as if to say stop.
"I have a plan when I'm supposed to pick her up I'll already be at the dance and she won't have another ride there." I said while I dealt the cards for the game. "She's going to be crushed." The voice in my mind whispered to me. I just scowled and pushed the thought away. That's what Jace Wayland does. Breaks hearts. Why should clary be any different right?
"What are you planning to do about Izzy?" Roy asked while grabbing the pile of cards in front of him and started sorting them out into his hand.
"Izzy has like 40 dates she will be to busy to remember clary and she won't notice me." I put the rest of the cards down in the middle.
The game went on throwing money in people losing all of it. I smirked as I laid the rest of my cards down. "Full house!" I said while grabbing all the money from the middle. Danny, Derick, Cody, Alex, Frank and Roy all mumbled and threw their hands on to the table. I stood up to go to the kitchen. I grabbed my phone out of my pocket and looked at the time. 10:00 flashed on the screen. All of a sudden wave tiredness dawned on me. I walked back into the room to find everyone just small talking.
"Well guys I think I'm going to head out." I said while grabbing my jacket and taking one last drink of coke. I swung my jacket on and grabbed my keys out of the pocket.
"All right man. See ya." I said my goodbyes and headed out. Knowing as soon as I got home I would probably collapse on my bed. I started the car and let the headlights lead me home.
Clarys P.O.V:
I woke up to something getting in my feet's way. I lifted my head a little to see what it was. I saw Izzy laying there using her arms as a pillow. I slowly picked up my phone to see what time it was. It read 10:20. I opened the phone texted my mom I was staying here even though I knew she already figured that but if she didn't I didn't want her to worry. I saw head lights flash through the window but as soon as I did they were gone. I slowly but quickly got up and unlocked the door as I saw jace get out of his car.
"Shh Izzy's asleep on the couch." I whispered when he got to the door.
I saw him roll his eyes in the moonlight. "Yeah yeah yeah let Izzy get her damn beauty sleep." He swiped past me and I shut the door and re locked it. We stood in front of each other for a little bit. "Well good night clary." He said and headed up the steps almost jogging. I cringed at how loud it sounded but knew it was probably because everyone was asleep. I glanced back over to where Izzy was and saw she was undisturbed. I walked back into the living room grabbed my snuggie and went over to the other couch to give both of us room to spread out.
I laid back down and as soon as my head hit the pillow I was out.
I was swaying in somebody's strong arms. I didn't know who they belonged too all I knew was somehow it was right like I belonged there. I looked up and saw a familiar pair of golden eyes. I saw me in them. My red fiery hair was curled with my bangs pulled back into a bump. I was wearing my black dress I just got earlier and I had this glow of happiness on my face. All of a sudden the room went black with everything fading away. "Jace?" I asked in a questioning tone. "Izzy?" "Come on where are you guys?" I looked around furiously. "IS anyone here?" still no answer still no light. I saw Simon up ahead. I ran towards him. His eyes were looking at the black and white speckled tile looking crushed. I gave him a hug and when I didn't feel him respond I pulled away. "Si what's wrong? Are you okay? What happened?" He looked up at me his eyes looking lifeless. "I guess they both played us." I looked at him with questioning eyes "Played us? Who? What are you talking about?" I searched his eyes but they never changed. He never said anything else. Just kept repeating. He started fading away to.
I jumped up to find my body covered in a cold sweat. I looked around and saw everything the same. I laid back down and softly groaned. I once again grabbed my phone and looked at the time. 3:00 a.m. I rolled back over allowing sleep to retake me any second when it wanted to. Nut not without think what the hell was that dream about?
