Sup Hobbitses! Here is chapter 2! Please make sure the review! I'm so thankful for all the views, follows, and favorites on this story and I couldn't be happier! Glad to see all the support!

After four dreadful hours and 17 stores, we finally return to my house to prepare for tonight. Walking through the door, I am met with a huge surprise. My parents. Sitting in the living room waiting for me. Oh dear god… I duck behind the sofa and run into the kitchen. I grab a glass and drink some water. Chillax Clary... I guess they finally had a break from running a record company. Nice to know they pretend to care about our childhood. I am broken out of my mental rant by Matt who is violently shaking my shoulders.

"Jeez Clary! Your parents are right here! Shouldn't you be ecstatic?" He says with concern.

"Let go of me." I struggle out of his grasp and act rude. I finally give up and sigh. "Why should I? Matt, you're more of a parent to me and you're just a few years older! They abandon me and Jon for months and then come back with a new client, expecting everything to be the same! When did their job become more important than their kids?" I finish my speech in a whisper after using up all of my energy.

Exasperated, I groan and collapse onto Matt who pulls me into a hug. "What am I supposed to do Matt?" I murmur into his chest.

With a sigh, he lets me go and holds me at arm length and says, "Clary you are going to go out there and try to fix this. You can't just keep holding in your feelings because trust me; they will come out at the wrong time. I'm honored to know you trust me enough to tell me this but I'm not the one at fault here." Concluding his speech, he gives me one last hug.

"That was deep Matt. Thank you. You're the best. Thanks for always being there for me, you're like family." After expressing my thanks, I head for the door. Here goes nothing…

UNNECESSARY PAGE BREAK, BUT NECESSARY AT THE SAME TIME.

The moment I enter the living room, I am engulfed in hugs. My dad is the first to let go and decides to cut right to the chase.

"Clary dear, we missed you" I'm sure you did… "We bring great news!" What a shock… why else would you be here, "We have a new client! He is an extremely talented young man who I bet you will love to meet!" I loved meeting the rest! NOT. "He is a bit busy tonight but he will be joining us for breakfast tomorrow. Please look presentable." Thanks dad… With that, he walks up to his room to put his bags away. My mother actually tried to act like she cared, so she stayed and talked to me for a few minutes before joining my father.

I slump down on the couch. So much for speaking up… My thoughts are interrupted by someone covering my mouth. I automatically attempt to scream but am defeated when I hear the assailant's voice.

"Oh relax Clary. I've been sent by Isabelle because she's complaining as to why you are not with her getting ready for something I shouldn't know, apparently."

It's just Jonathan. "By the angel Jon! Don't do that again." I grumble a few choice words and start up the stairs. Opening the door, I am already being yelled at by my friend.

"We have 3 hours before the 'party'!" She winks and starts taking out all of the makeup she brought. "Let's get ready!" So with that, I am swept off to the bathroom to begin the torture.

That's all for now yolks! Or folks… whatever! REVIEW FOR A FREE BUNNY IN YOUR PM BOX. As for the guests… FREE BUNNIES IN THE NEXT CHAPTER FOR YOU ALL TOO!

Just to clarify. HAHA get it. CLARify? No? Ok.

Just to clarify, Matt and Clary will NOT be a thing. Matt is a close friend to Clary who cares for her more than her own parents. We've all got that male friend, do we not?

3rd chapter may be out before you know it! ;) Tootles!
