Hey guys, I know I haven't been updating my stories in quite a long time, but I've had many personal problems that have been going on in my life. I hope to update a little bit more now that I am finally done with High School and before I move onto going to college. Anyway here is Chapter Six of Saving Clary.

Here is what happened Last time on Saving Clary:

Clary POV:
Once I pulled myself together yet again, I nod my head toward the elevator almost saying that we can finally leave. I guess Jace's parents went to the police station without us and reported my father because I was in the attorney's office for over two hours. The police are now looking for my father and will arrest him, but no charges can be brought until there is a trial and the evidence is presented.

Clary POV:

There is one day before the trial against my dad starts. Their have been many pictures taken of both the house I was living in and of myself. Jace has been so helpful as the trial got closer. He has been there for when I had to undress for the police to the pictures they needed for evidence. He is also been supportive of me as I transitioned into Luke's house after the reading of my mom's will. Unfortunately he will not be able to be their for the trial and I don't know what I am going to do without him. I feel like something bad is going to happen.

Jace POV:

It is the day before the trial, I am helping Clary prepare as much as I can before it. I unfortunately won't be able to be their due to having to work. In the midst of all of this, I was forced to get a job. I tried to take off but, my manager said I would be fired if I didn't work. It is unbelievable that I try to take one day off and they threaten to fire me if I can't work. I may talk to Alec tonight and try to persuade him to help out Clary tomorrow.

TIME SKIP TO 9PM THAT NIGHT:

"Hey Alec, can we talk for a minute?" I said.

"What do you need to talk to me about Jace?" Alec responded.

"I wanted to ask you if you could look after Clary tomorrow during the trial because I can't be their for her."

"Will she even want me there? We aren't as close as you and her are."

"Alec, any support she can get from us is fine with her. She just needs someone to be there."

"I feel like I should have gotten to know her a little better when she first started to come around our place. What if she doesn't feel comfortable about me knowing what has gone on in her life?"

"Alec you will be fine. I just don't want her to get hurt because I am not there for her." I said,

Alec looks like he is actually considering going to the trial for me. I was pretty sure that he was going to say no because Clary and he are not that close. I was worried that Clary was going to have to go by herself to face her tormenter. I really hope he decides to go to the trial to support Clary.

TIME SKIP TO DAY OF TRIAL:

Clary POV:

This is it. The day that finally gets to decide whether that monster I have to call a father goes to jail or not. What is going to happen if he is found not guilty? I will probably have to move away from here so he can't take me back to his abusive ways. But if I have to move, then that means Jace won't be able to come with me. I really wish that Jace was going to be their but I understand that he has to work. What am I going to do without him there? Is something going to go terribly wrong? Or is he finally going to be put away for the crimes that he has committed.

"Hey Clary," Alec said

"Hi…Whats up?" I responded

"I just wanted to come by and wish you luck with the trial but also to say that I will be there for you since Jace can't."

I was really surprised with what Alec had said because we really don't know each other. I really wish Alec and I could get closer, its just that I really only opened up to Jace because we've known each other for a long time. I want to be able to trust Alec with my life story but I don't know if I can yet.

As we head to the court all dressed up, I start to get nervous about seeing my father once again. Alec looks at me with an empathetic look. He grabs my hand and gives me a tight squeeze. I don't return the squeeze until a couple seconds later. I'm glad that he came to support me as this is going to be a pretty tough day for everyone, especially me. My court time isn't until ten o'clock am but we have to be there an hour early to meet with my attorney and to prepare for all questions in the cross-examination.

Alec POV:

As we drive to the court house I notice Clary had gotten all tense and started bouncing her leg up and down. I reach over and give her a squeeze on the hand which she seems uncomfortable at first but then returns that same squeeze a couple seconds later. We have to be at the court house and hour earlier than her trial time due to Clary needing to prepare with her attorney. I can tell she really wants Jace there. I decided when we got to the court house and Clary went her separate way that I would call Jace and see if he could meet us for part of the trial.

Ring….. Ring….. Ring….

"Hello" Jace answered.

"Hey Jace, it's Alec."

"Hey… whats up, is Clary okay?" Jace questioned.

"Clary is okay for now, she got really nervous in the car ride over to the court house, but other than that she seemed okay. But anyway, I have a question for you."

"Well that good that she is ok for now, what is your question Alec?"

"Do you think you could make it for part of the trial today? She looks like she really needs you to be here."

"Alec I really wish I could. But if I even think about asking to leave early then I will get fired. I can't afford to lose this job."

"Oh okay, I just thought maybe having both of us here that she would feel a little bit better with how the trial is going to go. But I understand, look I have to go now we are walking in to the court house. Talk to you later."

"Alright call me when the trial is over. Bye…."

As we walk into the court house, there is an eyre silence that stuns everyone. Clary is sitting on the plaintiffs side while there is still nobody on the defense side. Clary is wide eyed and looks more nervous than ever. Clary's father must be in holding and only allowed to come out when the trial is started.

Clary POV:

As I walk into the court house my attorney comes up to me and pulls me into a conference room. But before he pulls me in all the way I see Alec take out his phone and call someone. Maybe he is calling Jace to see if he can make any part of the trial. I can only hope that he can but it is highly unlikely due to his boss being such a bitch toward him.

As the door closes to the conference room, my attorney starts prepping me for the cross-examination. What my father's attorney is allowed to question about, what he isn't, when I should answer the question, and what to do when my attorney calls an objection. This is so much information to take in I don't know if I can remember it all. My attorney must be seeing my facial expressions and tells me not to worry, to look at him if I get nervous.

After we finish talking in the conference room, we head into the court room and get seated. My father's attorney must still be talking to him because there is nobody at the defense table. As I sit down in the chair I see Alec walk in a little shocked and disappointed. I can only assume that if Alec called Jace that he can't come because he will get fired.

Finally all the jury and my father's attorney is here and now we are just waiting for the judge to come in as well as my father. When the judge finally walks in we are sworn in to tell the truth and nothing but the truth. The judge finally calls in the accused and the trial officially begins.

DUN DUN DUN…..

So the trial has officially started. What do you guys think is going to happen next. I hope you all like this chapter of Saving Clary.
