Love To
Chapter 9:
I woke up to something tapping on my forehead and I couldn't move my arms. My swollen eyes finally complied and opened slowly. Max stared down at me and I tried to reassess where I was. I was on the couch, in Jace's arms. I grunted and pushed him off; he stirred but turned over and fell back asleep.
"Can we go now?" Max leaned in close so as to not wake up his siblings.
"Sure. I need to go to my house first though. Let's get to Isabelle's room, the portal I drew last night should be there." I stood, taking Max's hand in mine. I don't care that Jace wanted to go, I was not in the mood for a talk with him. Max and I jumped through the portal landing in my living room. His stomach growled and he smiled up at me. Crackling and the smell of bacon came from the kitchen as Max and I approached. Mom was in the kitchen making bacon and pancakes. Luke was gone, probably at work. She smiled at me as I came in.
"Mom this is Max Lightwood, Max this is my mom, Jocelyn." I sat down at the table with Max.
"Hello Max, my you look just like your dad when he was your age." She smiled sliding a pancake on to his plate.
"Thank you!" He grinned at her. We ate quickly and I left Max with my mom to change. I found jeans and an old tee shirt, I slid into my boots and threw on a sweatshirt. I said goodbye to Mom and Max and I went down to Luke's truck. Max grinned as we parked in front of Forbidden Planet. He pointed down the street at a movie theater.
"What's that Clary?" He pointed at a poster of Chris Pine.
"Oh that's a poster for the new Star Trek movie, why?"
"It looks cool. What's it about?"
"It's hard to explain. How about we swing by my house on the way back to the Institute and we can grab the first one." I smiled. I was a definite Trekkie. I'm not kidding I have like ten Spock tee shirts. We jumped walked into the warm building that filled my nose with the scent of fresh ink and paper. I waved at the guy behind the desk, Carl, and moved Simon to the Manga. I laughed as we grabbed numbers one through eight of the series into one big pile, plopping it in front of Carl.
After we stopped at my house we drove back to the Institute with the Manga and movie. I pulled the truck to a stop and took in a deep breath. No doubt Jace was awake, and probably fuming. Serves the asshole right. Max skipped into up to the door and it swung open, there was Jace, as I had predicted. If he could he'd be blowing steam out of his ears.
"Where the hell have you been? I wake up and both you and Max are gone!"
"I told you we were going to Forbidden Planet." I grumbled as I passed him, he however wasn't done talking to me, and grabbed my wrist. Max ran off down the hallway. Thanks a lot bud I mentally shot at him.
"Clary what's up? Why are you so mad?" He looked down at me, concern in his eyes.
"What's wrong? I let you make out with me and not even half an hour later, some other chick is all over you and you don't seem to mind. I guess you are just some dick player who's looking for a good lay, but let me tell you one thing Wayland, I'm not a girl to be trifled with, I'm not some insecure girl that you can play with until something more shiny struts by. So just leave me the hell alone if that's what you're going at." I snapped leaving a dumbstruck Jace in my wake. I felt the blood pulse through my veins but I mentally patted myself on the back. I didn't yell at other people often and this time I did not intend to apologize but fate had other plans. In this case, fates name was Isabelle, and she was already setting up the green house to lock me and Jace in.
"Clary I need your help!" Isabelle ran into Max's room, we were lying on our stomach watching Star Trek.
"With what?" She just grabbed my arm and pulled me to my feet, she led me up to the green house and my jaw dropped. It was beautiful up here! There was multicolored flowers planted about and I could hear a trickling of water somewhere close. I didn't notice Isabelle had let go of me until I heard the door click behind me.
"Isabelle? Isabelle?! What the hell are you doing!?" I banged on the door.
"Talk!" Was the only thing she said.
"Talk? Talk to whom?" I turned trying to see if anyone was in the room with me and to my demise there was and it was the person I really did NOT want to talk to. I cursed to myself and vowed that I would take revenge on Isabelle Lightwood.
Okay I know it's not a long chapter but I wanted to end with a cliffy so bear with me! I will update either later tonight or tomorrow and I am soooooo soooooo sooooo sorry about the whole ch.8 mix-up but I'd like to thank all the followers and favoriters (not a real word) and it really means a lot when you review!
Ciao!-Emma
