Hey guys.

Sorry I suck.

And I'm lazy.

Not really edited, I did the best I could. My beta has her hands full now and I don't want to bother her.

Last Time

"I'm Clarissa Morgenstern."

Clary

Everyone stared at me with their mouths wide open; no one had anything to say. Surprisingly I didn't have any to say either. I didn't exactly mean to go all psych-bitch on him, but he brought it out of me...

"Well damn girl." Magnus laughed rubbing his hands through his hair. Clarissa looked at him and smirked slightly.

"Get out. All of you." I said jerking her head towards the door. I needed to be alone with my thoughts. I'm about to get out of the protection program and I need to get in contact with my family.

"We're going to the club later. Maybe you can come?" Isabelle asks before turning to leave the room, "Simon's waiting for me, and I'll be back when I'm back."

Everyone made their way out of the room- even Kaelie- while Jace just stood there with my mouth agape still trying to form a coherent sentence.

"I asked you to leave." I said leaning my shoulders against the far wall of the room; his mouth was still standing open like a moron.

"I know." Was all he said.

"Then get to it." I said moving past him, into my bathroom. I'm hoping he'll get the message and be gone by the time I get out.

I pressed my back against the door and slowly slid down until I was sitting. I wish I could go back to when everything was simple. When I knew what I was meant to do and everything was planned.

I know everybody in the family is just about gone and there's nothing I could do about that.

They never did find out who killed my parents , in my opinion I don't think they even cared to do an investigation.

I'll admit that we were bad people, we killed, stole and sold. But that doesn't mean we weren't still people.

They could have least pretended to look for who did it.

Now I had to figure out if I'm staying or going. It would probably be for the best if I left. First I would have to find my brother, he was next in line for the 'thrown' and he would have the best idea of what to do next.

I sighed deeply, running my hands through my hair. I guess going out tonight would be in my best interest.

^*^TIMEBREAK^*^

"So you're staying?" Magnus asked, sipping on his drink. I pulled at the top of my socks up before answering his question.

"I don't know." I said shaking my head, "my brothers looking for me, so I really have no idea what I'm doing."

I would have continued talking to Magnus, if it weren't for the flash of silver I saw in the corner of my eye.

The guy was talking the Raphael- my old employer. Something about the way he held himself seemed familiar, like I've seen him before.

That very something is what made me ignore the group's confused stares and made my way across the club to him.

"'cuse me sir can I talk to you for a minute?" He turned and looked straight across my head, obviously expecting me to be taller.

"I'm a little busy baby girl. Maybe later." He says patting my shoulder and turning back towards Raphael.

Baby what?

I tapped him again.

"It's important." I say hopping he would be able to figure out who I am by now.

"Look sweet heart, I'll be with you in a second. I'm handling grown up business now." he said.

"So sorry for interrupting you sir." I said; he looked at me straggly before turning back around. I caught the end of the conversation.

"Anyway, she's on the short side, had black hair the last time I saw her…"

He was looking for me, thinking about that made me want to cry.

I missed him.

When I made it back to the table Jace was in the middle of what seemed to be an intense conversation. I asked what everyone was talking about even though I tuned out the answers.

Afraid if I took my eyes from him he would leave.

When I couldn't take it anymore I decided dancing would be a good way to relieve some tension.

" So are you planning on staying?" Isabelle asked as we moved in a steady rhythm to the music.

"I'm not sure. Robbing banks isn't really my scene if you know that I'm saying." I said. It's almost a down grade considering where I come from.

"You know you made Jace pretty upset when you started talking to that guy." Kaelie said, dancing next to me.

"Jace doesn't own me. We're not together so he has no control over who I can or can't talk to. I thought you to had something going on." I said even though Jace and I had an intense make out session early today.

"Jace just keeps me around because he thinks I'll snitch if he kicks me out." she says. The music begins slowing down so we all settle to a gentle sway.

"Won't you?" Isabelle asks

"We all left something dark in our pasts. If I leave I'll have to settle back into that darkness." She says running her hands through her blonde locks. In that moment I actually felt sorry for her.

Two hands grabbed my waist and pulling me into a firm chest. I turned around in his arms and sighed out a breath of relief.

"You wanted to talk?" he whispered 'seductively' in my ear, I turned placing my arms around his neck putting as much distance between us as I could.

"I'm not sure if it's worth it anymore. You've keep me waiting a bit too long." I said hoping he would take the bait.

"Oh I'm sure I can come up with something to change your mind." he said rubbing small circles on my sides.

I almost hurled.

"You seemed to be prettty busy earlier. Maybe it just wasn't meant to be." I said shrugging my shoulders.

"I've been looking for someone. Someone very important to me?" He said avoiding eyes contact with me.

"I'm sure your boyfriend will be very happy that you're looking for him." I said teasingly.

"Look I understand the hair may seem a bit off but don't make any assumptions." He said laughing slightly.

I leaned up pressing my lip to his ear,

" Why don't we go somewhere more private so we can have that talk." I said, I didn't wait for his response I just grabbed his wrist and led him to the back room.

I followed in after him making sure the door was shut and locked tightly. When I turned around he was a lot closer than I expected him to be.

"So what'd you want to talk about?" he whispered.

Why the hell you're so close to me. I said in my head.

"Tell me about this guy you're looking for?" I asked taking a step around him to the far part of the room.

He laughed, leaning against the door sliding his hands in to his pockets.

"Why do you care so much?" he said. He's becoming more suspicious by the second.

"I said I wanted to talk. Did you assume this was about something else?" I asked.

He was in front of me quicker than I expected. His hand wrapped around my neck pushing me painfully against the wall.

"Who are you and what do you want?" he asked even though he tightened his hand around my throat making it next to impossible to answer.

"Why do you care who I'm looking for? Do you know something?" he asked as I clawed at his hands.

I kicked out getting him in the knee, he let go and stumbled back a few steps. I took this as an opportunity to get a few licks back in. before he could come back to his sense I punched him in the stomach, knocking all the wind out of him.

He came back to his senses to quickly, snatching me by my leg and slamming me on the hard ground of the room. He straddled my waist and held my arms above my head.

"Who. Are. You?!" he asked again.

"Get your fat ass off me now!" I screamed in his face. I knew my face was becoming the familiar shade of red that he was so accustomed to.

He jerked away from me like he touched something hot. He face drained of color by the time his eyes reached mine.

"Clary?"

"Sebastian." I responded.

Jace

"No you didn't make me upset you-'

"Upset about what?" she asked, sitting down next to me; my senses became filled with her. He perfume moved through the air, causing my head to swim and my eyes to roll back in my head slightly.

"About how you were to that guy-Ouch- kicking is not very nice Jace!" Magnus said, leaning down to rub his shin. I looked over at Clarissa but she wasn't focused on what was going on, her eyes where after the guy she was just talking to. Her eyes followed him like she was a predator and he was her prey.

"Who's the cutie?" Isabelle asked her. She was finally able to pull her eyes away from him to look at Iz,

"No one. You wanna dance?" She asked Isabelle, standing up and waiting for Isabelle to stand with her.

"Hell yeah!" she said grabbing Clarissa's hand, pulling her towards the center of the floor.

"Hey Kaelie, you coming?" Clarissa asked much to everyone's surprise. Kaelie was at a loss for words, she nodded in response.

We watched them all go hand in hand to the dance floor.

"Well that was interesting. Do you think she has an angle?" Alec asked Magnus in a hushed tone.

"I don't even know anymore. She keeps surprising me." Magnus said finishing off his drink.

"What do you think is up with that guy?" I asked against my better judgment.

Both boys shrugged their shoulders and smiled slightly.

"Why do you even care?" Alec asked.

I sat there shocked for s few seconds; I never really stopped to ask myself that question.

"He seems shady, I'm just looking out for her best interest." I said nodding to back up my answer.

"Well I think she knows what her best interest is." Magnus said nodding towards the floor. A slow song was now bouncing off the walls of the club, she was swaying with him her hands around his neck and his hands on her hips.

She leaned p on her toes to whisper something in his ear, he smiled in response letting her lead him off the floor to an unknown room.

I watched as she went in the back with that, that random guy. I don't know why it bothered me so much because it's not like we're together or anything but- something almost happened with us today.

Did she just forget about that?

"Jace if you keep making that face it will stick like that.' Magnus said before looking at Isabelle and giggling.

"May I ask what the fuck is so funny?"

Alec shrugged his shoulders shaking his head slightly while sipping his drink. Magnus being Magnus spoke boldly,

"You're jealous." He said like it was the simplest thing in the world.

"That's completely absurd, why would I be jealous of her when I can have any girl I want. If she wants to hook up with that random guy it's really known of my business." I said rolling my eyes and crossing my arms over my chest.

"Aw did I make you upset?" Mag said before pinching my check like I was some upset adolescent.

I'm a man dammit.

"Fuck both of you." I said walking away from the table and towards the floor. They cackled like hyenas.

I moved away from them and walked towards the bar.

"Two shot of Tequila. Double tall." I told the tender. He slid my drinks across the bar as I slid the bill across the bar.

"I'll have what he's having." A sultry voice with a body to match slid on to the stool next to me.

She's pretty enough with soft gray eyes and chocolate brown hair.

"I'm Tessa." She said with a small smile on her face.

"Jace." I responded, turning on the charm. I took back my probably faster than I should have, but I'm blinded by something.

"Well you seem to be sulking. What's got you down?" she asked placing her hand on my arm.

"Men don't sulk." I said shrugging my shoulders. I don't want to admit to anyone- including myself- what's going on with me.

"Whatever you say baby." She said. I started to respond when I saw Clarissa and that guy walk out from one of the back rooms.

They both had this cocky grin on their face. She smiled and pushed his chest lightly as he handed her one of her shoes.

He smiled back and patted her on the cheek while talking gently to her.

"You wonna hook up?" I asked pulling my eyes away from them.

"I thought you'd never ask, baby." She said slidding of the stool, pulling me with her.

^*^TIMEBREAK^*^

Clary

Someone is here. I sat up in my bed and looked towards the chair that was now sitting at the foot of my bed.

It didn't take a lot to figure out who it was,

"What the fuck are you doing in here?" I asked not bothering to turn on the light, I just wanted to finish this so I could go back to sleep.

"Did you really fuck him?" he asked. It took me a second to realize who he was talking about but when I did a slight smile slid across my face.

I let a chuckle slip out.

Aye. I'm proud to say that I have finished my summer reading a head of time! I usually wait to the last minute or I don't do it at all. I'm really sorry it took me forever to update and this is what you end up getting. Don't hate me to much.

Bye.

Review.

It took me forever because I got stuck looking at outfits and tattoos for Clary. All that's on the profile.
