Love To
Chapter 18:
I finished up my quarter exam, Alec sitting next to me, in biology. He scratched a few words on his paper and slid it over to me.
Thanks again about Izzy and Magnus. I owe you one.
Alec I told you it was no problem! Anyways I'm sick of him crushing on all my boyfriends, it gets annoying!
But your only boyfriend has been Jace ...
Well...
Wait. What?!
Okay so I may have lied about to him when I told him I haven't dated anyone. But it hardly counts! It was only for a week!
WHO WAS IT!?
Simon.
"WHAT THE HELL!" Alec screamed. I clapped a hand over his mouth.
"Sorry! He thought he saw a spider." I sat him down, my hand still over his mouth. I removed it slowly and watched as he bent over the note, scribbling something else.
You have to tell Jace.
Why?
Because I'll tell him if you won't.
Fine
I sat next to Jace in Art. He was absentmindedly playing with my fingers. I took a shallow breath and turned to Jace.
"Uh you know how I told you about not dating anyone before you." I murmured close to his ear. His hands stopped and he looked at me with those honey eyes.
"Well, uh, I lied. I dated someone else before that..." He practically glaring at me now.
"What?"
"Well I kind of dated Simon..." He stared incredulously at me. And then he did the unthinkable. He laughed. Like he was crying from laughing, husbands clutching his sides.
"Vampire boy? " He asked between gasps. I glared at him until he was just letting out little puffs of air. He glanced up at me through his lashes. I turned away grinding my jaw.
"Oh Clary, don't be so dramatic. " I could hear the smirk in his voice.
"Well it's hard for me not to when my boyfriend is talking about my best friend like he's some comical fool." I snipped.
"Uh Clary, he is a comical fool." He stated.
"You want to see dramatic? I'll show you dramatic!" I snapped. I approached Ms. Wakefield's desk, asking to go to the nurse's office. She nodded and I glanced over at Jace who was grinding his jaw away.
Hey! It's not my fault my boyfriend is a total prick, okay sometimes he's a prick. But he didn't think that a hormonal teenage girl would avoid her boyfriend the whole afternoon and I showed that up. I sat in my room watching GLEE on my laptop. It was the latest episode, the one for Cory Monteith. I sobbed into my pillow until I heard a light knock on my door. Probably my mother wanting to know I why I was wailing away in here. The door opened slightly and HIS head popped into the room. I was very emotional, I must admit, but that does not excuse what I did next. I chucked a pillow at his face.
"CLARY!?" Then thump.
"CLARY! WHAT THE HELL IS THE MATTER WITH YOU?"
"GO AWAY JACE! YOU ARE NOT CORY!" I screamed. So what if I never met the guy, it's the thought that counts.
"WHAT THE HELL? WHO'S CORY? HOW MANY OTHER BOYS HAVE YOU DATED BESIDES LEECH GEEK?" The next pillow was necessary.
"Jocelyn, who is Cory?" Jace turned out of the doorway, facing the living room.
"Oh that's Finn from Glee. Why? Is Clary having another Cory's dead meltdown?" Her voice came from the other room.
"Yes" I yelled back.
"That's what this is about? A character in a TV Show? Wow, your gorgeous boyfriend is right here and you're moping over a guy you've never met."
"You do not understand my life." I started crying into the remaining pillow. I felt him sit on the edge of the bed. His arms wound around me, cradling me to his chest. He stroked lightly at my hair.
"Clary, Clary, Clary." He murmured over and over again into my ear until I stopped with the never-ending sobs. Okay I guess never-ending isn't quite the word, seeing as how they just ended…
"Do you always get this emotional when someone dies?" He grinned softly down at me.
"Oh this is nothing. You should have seen me when Matthew died in Downton Abbey. Inconsolable." The tears made my voice heavy, but I nuzzled into Jace's neck. He kicked off his boots, and slid down so we were lying on the bed. He kissed my flushed cheeks lightly.
"My little melodramatic girlfriend" He smirked. "Has a nice ring to it, don't you think?" I slapped at his chest playfully.
"Fine then I get to name you."
"Shoot."
"Uh, my golden prima donna boyfriend, no wait, boy toy." I giggled at his scoff. He snuggled closer to me, wrapping the blanket around the two of us.
"Clary, will your mom be mad if she finds us canoodling in your room?"
"Oh yeah she'll probably have Luke pull your teeth out and then cut off that luscious hair of yours." He gulped.
"No she won't." He tried to play it off but I heard that gulp and hint of wariness in his voice.
"And I'm the melodramatic one?" I laughed lightly. I scooted up a bit farther so I was eye to eye with him.
"I love you." He muttered. My breath caught in my throat.
Bum bum BUM! I know not a long chapter, but… I had to end it there. I could not help it! Any who I'm sorry I didn't update last night but my sister got mad at me so I had to avert her the rest of the night, which meant I hid in my bedroom until I went to bed. I'm a nerd so when it comes to the Fight or Flight instinct I fly as fast as my little wings can go. I shall start to write a long chapter tomorrow and will have it up by Wednesday night. Thanks for all the reviews too, they mean the world to me, and a big thanks to the favoriters and followers, literally every day that number goes up! I shall return to you later I have a date with an amazing movie and the hottest of hot guys (Pague Perry from the movie The Covenant)!
So Ciao!
