Sorry it took me so long to add another chapter. I'm ill and work is taking over my life.
Clary POV
A week rolled around and on the Friday I was allowed to go home and allowed back to school on the Monday, to say I was nervous was an understatement. I knew that the girls who had attacked me somehow managed to stay in the school. Probably bribed their way into staying. I'd finally have to face them in a wheelchair and not punch them. Times like these I really hated when I couldn't do as I wished.
I'd noticed Jace's black rings under his eyes where still there, when I asked him about it, he just shrugged and said he was fine. Whatever was eating him up he'd tell me about it eventually, right? While I was thinking, Mom had brought me some food and gotten the week off work, claiming that I needed her. I'd already mastered the art of climbing the stairs in crutches and making food. What help did I need? Jace had told me that my Mom probably felt guilty for not being there for me lately, so she'd think a week off work would make up for it. I hadn't seen him in a week because of my mom being home more his parents thought it would be an excellent time for him to concentrate on his studies and the things he missed while I was in hospital.
Monday came around and I was still trying to rush around and get everything ready when Jace arrived and knocked at the door.
"Come in Jace!" I shouted from the top of the stairs after looking at the door to who it was.
Jace walked inside and laughed at my distressed state, I was dressed with my make up on, my hair half brushed, bag hanging open with books spilling out of the top. I ended up dropping my bag and hopping back to the bathroom to try and sort my hair out. I brushed it into a pony tail. Jace had came up the stairs and sorted out my bag and was holding it as I walked out the bathroom on my crutches.
"Another two months can't come quick enough." I sighed as I made my way down the stairs.
I kissed Jace on the lips and got the familiar butterfly's in my stomach.
"Good morning." I mumbled to Jace
"Cheer up, first day back and all that." He chuckled and then smacked my bum to get me on my way shaking my keys at me indicating that he'll lock up for me. So I hopped my way to his car with my crutches. Jace being the gentleman he is, helped me into the car, gave me my keys and bag closed the door and put my crutches in the back seat before getting into the drivers seat and driving off towards school.
School was unusually silent as I hopped through the halls. People were staring at me, at the damage they'd done to me. Some gasping, others scurrying out of my way.
"For fuck sake people! Take a fucking photo it'll lost longer by the time I've fucking hopped away and while you're at it send it to everyone and tell them to stop gawking!" I shouted at them. So I may have lost my temper with them but I didn't actually expect them to take a photo and send it round with that message, but they did. I sighed and hurriedly hopped faster to my lesson, sat down with my head on the desk asking myself why do I always get myself in these situations.
"Trouble sure follows you around." Jace chuckled.
"Asshat." I replied still face down on the desk.
School went really smoothly, like really quiet. The skanks and sheep left me alone and whenever they saw me they'd quickly turn around and scurry away like frightened mice. People leave me alone and I leave them alone. Things between me and Jace are as complicated as ever. We still haven't stated what we are two months after the whole school incident. He's as distant as ever and I have no clue how to fix it because he won't open up to me. It's like I'm banging my head against a brick wall. I spend most my time with the rest of the gang or on my own since it's awkward being a third wheel between both couples. They all have noticed something isn't right between me and Jace but they know that I have no idea what it is. I can't be bothered with these mood swings, one moment he wants me the next he doesn't. It's like what the actual fuck. Stop giving me whip lash man. It wasn't like this before though. He actually wanted to be around me, hang out. I have no idea what he's actually doing apart from in school when he acts like everything is fine. I sighed as the bell rang and ended up wondering to the practice music room. My fingers slowly slid along the piano in the middle of the room. I sat down at it and sighed. My fingers played a few chords randomly as I sat trying to figure out me and Jace. I sighed again and played a familiar song I'd learnt a few days ago. (Stay – Mayday Parade)
I need some time just deliver the things that I need for now
Everything that I feels like a warm deep calm casting over me
And it's taking me to somewhere new
If you believe that everything's alright
You won't be all alone tonight
And I'd be blessed by the light of your company,
Slowly lifting me to somewhere new
Oh can you tell, I haven't slept very well
Since the last time that we spoke, you said
"Please understand if I see you again don't even say hello."
Please
What a night it is, when you live like this
And you're coming up beneath the clouds,
Don't let me down
All the love's still there I just don't know what to do with it now
You know, I still can't believe we both did some things
I don't even wanna think about
Just say you love me and I'll say "I'm sorry,
I don't want anybody else to feel this way"
No, no, no
Oh can you tell, I haven't slept very well
Since the last time that we spoke, I said
"Please understand I've been drinking again, and all I do is hope"
Please... stay
Please stay
I'll admit I was wrong about everything
Cause I'm high and I don't wanna come down
All the fun that we had on your mothers couch,
I don't even wanna think about
I'm not strong enough for the both of us
What was I supposed to do
You know I love you
Whoa-oh
Please just stay
Stay.
I wiped my eyes, not realising that silent tears escaped down my face while singing. I was totally oblivious to the golden haired boy who'd watched me through the entire song. I put my arms down on the piano letting my head fall onto my arms and sighed. The golden haired boy disappeared without making a noise. Clogs turning in his brain, coming up with a plan.
Please review/favourite and what not. Thanks.
