Good morning sunshine! The earth says hello! Errr… good afternoon?

After a good night's sleep, I have returned with the next chapter. I was reading the cliffhanger I made last night and can I just say that it was probably the cruelest thing I've ever done. FOR REAL THOUGH. If I was a reader, I probably would have thrown something. PLEASE DON'T THROW THINGS AT ME PLEASE MKAY.

BEFORE YOU SKIP THIS, THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR REVIEWS. They actually mean a lot to me and shows that people actually read this! I WUV YOU ALL. I bring you Chapter 7! 8?...

CLARY POV

Jace 'freaking' Wayland.

I feel weak at the knees. Jace Wayland is sitting on MY couch. His smirk drops and is replaced with a gaping look. We stare at each other until I hear my dad clear his throat. We both look at him as he speaks.

"Don't be rude. Introduce yourself." The tension sickens me but I am still in shock.

I mumble out, "I'm Clary Fray." I see Jace mouth something to himself which looked a lot like 'Clary'.

His manager then speaks. "Hello Clary. I'm Raphael." He greats me with a warm smile, as well as a confused look. I shake his hand before he continues. "And this is my client Jace Wayland." I simply nod before sitting on the loveseat, across from Jace.

My parents talk for about another half hour. All I can do is sit there completely shocked. Everyone once in a while, I see Jace looking at me. At around noon, they leave. I internally weep because he's gone. My parents don't even spare me a glance before leaving to the office.

I numbly walk to my room and pull out my phone, texting Izzy.

Hey Izzy, come over. Now

JACE POV

It's her. It's actually her. The girl driving me crazy.

We stare at each other for what seems like hours until the adults finish talking. I numbly leave with Raphael. We finally get in the car and I speak up.

"I've decided my host family. Them. Rig the contest or do something so that they win." I don't say anything else.

"Sure thing Jace… If that's what you want" He curiously replies.

It's exactly what I want.

CLARY POV

Isabelle arrives in record time and immediately comes to my room. We quickly apologize to each other before getting to the important stuff.

"So why'd you call me here?" Izzy cuts right to the chase.

"I had a client over today," She groans. "I know. Anyways, I had to meet him," Another groan. "Shut up. It was him."

"Who? Who was it?" She begs.

I take a deep breath before speaking.

"It was Jace Wayland."

HOST FAMILY YO. Sorry about the jumping between POVs but I had to.

IT'S SHORT I KNOW. CHILLAX. I'm writing the next chapter today because I didn't have time to yesterday. I PROMISE IT'LL BE LONGER.

HUGS AND KISSES MY PRETTIES! Thanks for the reviews!
