Jace had asked Clary to homecoming. He had driven early to school for 'practice' with Alec and Jon. They decorated her locker with a bunch of hearts and bought chocolates for her and put them inside. Jace would be standing in the hallway next to hers with a huge teddy bear. I was to get her there on time and dressed nicely. The volleyball team had to dress up today so she was wearing a black romper with triangles cut out. (It was Jace's favorite outfit) Walking into school I kept her preoccupied as we walked down the hall. Jon gave the go for Jace to come out with teddy bear as Clary reached her locker.

She was smiling as she opened her locker and grabbing the chocolates out of her locker to inspect them. Malley's chocolate covered pretzels. Her favorite. She turned to look at me, noticing I had my phone out, taking a video. Her head turned towards Jace as he pulled out the poorly concealed giant teddy bear from behind his back. She smiled and nodded when he asked her to be his date for homecoming. Placing the chocolates back in her locker she ignored the bear and threw her arms around him. He just squeezed her tight before kissing the side of her head and than my video cut out.

We had gotten dresses the other day when we went shopping because she knew he was going to ask her, she just didn't know when or where. She had a huge smile on her face the whole day, but the chocolates were gone by third period. The teddy bear had been safely transported to her car, but the necklace it was wearing was now around her neck.

I hadn't known about that part. It was in the shape of a heart and the back was engraved with "I love you more than football" in small cursive letters. There was a football shaped silver pendant hanging from the front and it was gorgeous. She never took it off again, accept for when she got caught with it on the volleyball court.

Jace set the curve for homecoming. As soon as he asked, everybody else started asking. Raphael had asked me with roses and a sign the same week that Jordan asked his girlfriend Maia with a sign spelled out with candy bars. Nobody had topped the giant teddy bear though, or the smile on both of their faces.

Homecoming court was another story. You have to be a senior to be on court and Jace was a shoe in. Not only was he the most athletic but he was also liked by everybody, even more so since Clary opened him up a little. He got on court by a landslide along with a jerk named Sebastian, Alec, Jordan, Will, and a musician Eric. The girls were Aline, Kaylee, Maia, Tessa, Seelie, and Maureen. The race was between Tessa and Aline because both were popular for different reasons, but I didn't care either way. All of the homecoming court went in the same group so Clary was going to tag along with them and I would be in Raphael and Jon's group.

Homecoming was on us soon enough and I dragged Clary away from Jace, they had been watching a superhero movie with Max on the couch, and dressed her up.

Her dress was short and black, flaring out at the waist with sleeves made of lace, and no back. She wore her hair down in smooth curls, because Jace liked her hair down, and wore minimal make up. She also wore tall red high heels and the necklace he got her.

After helping me get into my tight red dress with a plunging neckline and 7 inch high black heels she straightened my hair into a black curtain and pulled some of it back. I quickly did my own make up before Raphael came to pick me up.

Jace was wearing a red vest and black pants and a black tie when I walked down. He kissed me on the cheek and told me I looked beautiful before he saw Clary. She literally took his breath away. Her head was down as she fixed the Pandora bracelet on her wrist as she descended the stairs.

I felt like I was watching an old fashioned movie when the guy is gobsmacked by his girlfriend's beauty, which is a pretty solid definition for how Jace looked right now. He was normally so smooth with the ladies, but Clary had him blushing like pubescent teenager, looking at a girl for the first time. He tried to tell her how beautiful she looked but couldn't form a coherent sentence so she just silenced him with a kiss, which seemed to wake him up.

All night long he clung to her like glue. He already posted a picture of him kissing her cheek when he was supposed to be smiling at the camera. His caption read 'the luckiest guy in the world' and I knew he thought he was too. Her smile was bright as they danced together. The only time they were apart the whole night was when he had to dance with Aline because they won homecoming . And the whole time he was looking at her as she danced with Aline's date.

That was their first night they ever went all the way. Her parents were out of town and Jon was spending the night somewhere else. Jace had never waited before in his life. Normally he had sex and asked questions later. But this time he wanted to do it right. So they did. He took her home and walked her to the door. She walked right in not even checking to see if he was following her. He shed his vest and loosened his tie as he followed her to the kitchen. They ate chips and laughed together before he kissed her.

One thing lead to another, and he didn't make it home that night. And when he did come home the following morning he was lighter than I've ever seen him. He took the teasing from Alec and I with a smile on his face and told us over and over how much he loved her. He loved her so much it hurt. But he didn't care, because it felt so good. He had never understood why guys had always looked in the stands to see if their girls were watching them. Or how they could tell somebody everything, but now he did, and he never wanted to let it go.
