AN. If any of you watch glee you along with me are crying about how the actor who plays Finn Hudson Corry Monteith passed away recently and how it was devastating for all including his close friends and family send your thoughts and prayers to them and remember the wonderful person that he was now let's get on with the chapter.

Clary sat in the chair not really caring about all the hustle and Bustle, until she heard someone call her name. "Clary" Isabelle said.

"What?" Clary asked as the lady doing her hair stayed concentrated on her work.

"You excited? I mean your gonna have a dad again" Isabelle said smiling.

"I already have a dad Izzy and he's coming to see me next year" Clary said.

"Clary I wouldn't hold out your father coming for your birthday or graduation next year, I mean the man can barely remember what he needs to go food shopping let alone come to New York for his daughter," Jocelyn said.

"You don't know that" Clary said looking over at Jocelyn.

"Clary," Jocelyn said in a warning tone. Clary sighed then heard her phone buzz.

"Boyfriend alert" Maia said chuckling a bit.

"Shut up" Clary said blushing a bit she and Jace had been going out for a few months and they still teased her about it.

"What you gonna tell me it's not?" Maia asked.

"Yes cause it's not" Clary said. "It's Simon."

How's the primping? - S

Hell. - C

Aw that sucks. - S

Eh I got mom, Madeline, Amaits, and Maia also going through the same thing. Izzy and Maggie aren't in the wedding so they're just here to watch. - C

That's my girl. - S

You sound so proud even through text. - C

How can you tell? - S

I just know you. - C

Got that right. - S

Clay laughed at her phone and put it away. "What's so funny? Isabelle asked.

"Nothing, Si's just being Si," Clary explained.

"And we all know how what a wonderful description that is" Maggie put in. The seven women in the salon laughed.

"So Ms. Fray you excited for tonight?" Maia asked.

"Yeah but I'm also terrified, I mean it's been just me and Clary for such a long time and . . . I don't know do you really think this is a good idea?" Jocelyn said.

"Jocelyn my brother has been in love with you since you were kids there is no way he would push you to do something you don't want to. He loves you and Clary so much it kills. So if you start doubting now just remember it won't be worth the stress," Amaits said.

"Yeah mom you and Luke are perfect together I think you'll be fine," Clary said.

"But I want you to be ok Clare bear I mean I don't wanna mess you up especially when you're so close to graduating next year," Jocelyn started.

"Mom everything will be fine ok" Clary said.

LATER THAT NIGHT

Madeleine kept fussing over Clary's hair and dress until she finally said stop. "Madeleine stop ok I'm fine, my angel you're worse than my mom. Speaking of where is the wonderful ball of sunshine" she asked sarcasm in her voice. Ever since they got to the place the ceremony was being held Jocelyn lost it.

"She's in her room" Madeleine said.

Clary nodded and left to go see her mom. When she walked in she saw her mom sitting in front of the merrier trying to give herself a pep talk. Clary walked up behind her and placed her hands on Jocelyn's shoulders and started to talk. "You're amazing, beautiful, strong, and the best mom in the world. In a few minutes you're going to be married to the best man a woman could ask for, with all your friends and family surrounding you so no matter what you think, or anyone says this is happening and it will be worth it."

Jocelyn smiled and whipped a few stray tears away, she then turned to hug clary. "Thank you sweet heart I needed that."

"I know now get up cause it's almost time" Clary said. Jocelyn got up and smiled, Clary returned the smile, and left the room.

Everything was set up and underway Jocelyn and Luke looked as happy as they could be Clary let her eyes wander she saw Isabelle and Maggie and Alec all sitting in the pews. Standing across from her behind Luke was Simon who looked happy for the happy couple he then looked over at her and smiled. Everything was perfect except for one person missing. Jace. Clary knew he couldn't make the ceremony but just him not being there made Clary feel empty this wasn't the first time she got this feeling but right now it was strong and it scared her a bit. There was no way she could be in love with him. Even though he was her boyfriend and Clary liked him a lot really but love that was no longer possible for her. To love someone in that way only brought pain, and to feel that pain was just too much for Clary.

"You may kiss the bride" The minister said. And Luke leaned in a kissed Jocelyn, the room erupted into applause. The couple soon broke apart and Jocelyn turned and smiled at Clary who walked over to her mom and was soon squished between her mom and new step-dad.

AT THE RESPTION

People flooded into the hall and took their seats Clary was at the head table which was kinda longer than all the others. Clary was sat next to her mom obviously there was an empty seat next to her where Jace would sit, Alec next to Jace fallowed by Maggie, Izzy, Simon, Maia and then her boyfriend Kyle. Then on Luke's side of the table most of his family and friends sat. Every few minutes Clary would glace over at the seat and you could see her face show disappointment.

A few minutes after the food was served someone walked in. It was Jace. Clary smiled finally relaxing. Slightly smiled as he sat next to her. "Hey sorry I'm late Julia's recital ran late," he explained.

"I guessed but you had me worried for a moment," Clary said.

"Well I'm here now," Jace said then pressed a quick kiss to her cheek then turned to talk to Alec.

"Now the happy couple will share their first dance as man and wife," the MC announced. Luke and Jocelyn stood up and walked hand in hand to the dance floor looking as happy as could be and had matching smiles plastered to their faces, as the song went on Jace wrapped his arm around Clary and pulled her close to him kissing her hair.

"They look so happy," Jace said still holding Clary close.

"Yeah they do makes you think that everyone should be that happy with someone," Clary said watching her parents. "Makes me think if my dad is happy where ever he is."

Jace looked down at her confused then remembered that Clary still thought of her father as her dad. "I'm sure he is, and counting the days till he sees you again. I know I would be." The dance was over and everyone clapped and soon other couples went to the dance floor to be with the ones they loved.

"I'll be right back ok," Clary said standing up and going outside real quick, and opened her phone dialing a number.

"Hello?" a Voice said it was a low and gruff.

"Hi Dad, I just uh wanted to call and see how you were doing ya know," Clary said.

"Oh I'm good sweet heart, how are you how's school?" Valentine asked.

"I'm good school's good I'm on the cheer squad again, and ya know getting all excited about being a senior next year but I'm sad that some of my friends are graduating this year, like Alec Maggie and Jace," Clary said.

"I know Clare Bare, but if you mind my asking who Jace is. He a new friend of yours?"

"Uh yeah actually Jace is my boyfriend of 6 months," Clary explained.

"But I thought you were dating that Sebastian boy?" Valentine said.

"No Dad," Clary said shaking her head. Looking over her shoulder Clary saw everyone inside and with a sigh she said. "Look Dad I have to go but I'll talk to you again soon ok."

"Ok sweet heart I love you," Valentine said.

"I love you too Dad bye," Clary said then hung up walking back inside.

"Clary there you are," Isabelle said walking up to her. "Your mom's been looking for you."

"Oh I'll go find her right now," Clary said walking up to the main table to see her mom talking to Luke who instantly saw her and smiled.

"There she is, where'd you go Clary?" Luke asked.

"I just went to make a quick phone call. What did you need?" Clary asked.

"I thought it would be a good idea for you and Luke to share a dance that is if you want to," Jocelyn said.

"That sounds lovely," Clary said smiling. She had always liked Luke and dancing with him wouldn't be too bad.

"Well then Miss Fray may I have this dance," Luke said offering Clary his hand.

She laughed and took it. "Why of course Mr. Graymark."

They went to the dance floor and danced nicely until Luke broke the silence. "Clary I love your mom you know that right?" he asked.

"Of course I know Luke even a blind person could see it," Clary said.

"Ok I'm just glad you're ok with everything," Luke said.

"Of course I am Luke I'm mean it's been almost a year and everything's been better. I mean I have mom you, I have Jace now and everything is just feeling good again," Clary said smiling happy about how the last year turned out.

"Good I'm glad you're happy now. And Speaking of Jace, he must be one of the bravest young men in the world," Luke said looking over Clary's head.

"What?" Clary said then turned around to see Jace and Jocelyn dancing, and soon Clary started laughing.

Jace and Jocelyn looked over to see what was going on and when he saw that Clary was laughing at him, Jace glared. "Shut it Fray," he said.

"No way this is priceless," Clary said laughing.

Jace turned back to Jocelyn and said. "One moment please there is a problem I need to take care of."

"Take all the time you need just remember what we talked about," Jocelyn said.

Jace nodded then walked over to Luke and Clary, without saying a word Luke stepped back and let the two teens talk. "Have fun dancing with my mom?" Clary asked.

"Yeah but I think it would be more fun to dance with you," Jace said holding his hand.

"I thought you'd never ask," Clary said repeating the words she said when Jace first asked her to be his girlfriend. "So what were you doing trying to make my mom like you again?"

"Ha I don't think that's ever gonna happen," Jace said. "But no we mostly talked. About school, college, you," said the last part looking directly into Clary's eyes.

"What about me?" Clary asked quietly.

"It doesn't matter nothing important," Jace said dogging the question.

"But" Clary said then stopped when Metro Station's 'shake it' came on and whit just one look Jace and clary both knew.

"Izzy" they said at the same time then started to dance, laughing the entire time.

When the song finished they were laughing and Jace pulled her in for a kiss, when they were done Jace rested his forehead against Clary's and smiled. "I love you,"

AN. CLIFF HANGING FROM A CLIFF AND THAT'S WHY HE'S CALLED CLIFF HANGER! Yes that was the chapter and it took me forever to write I actually was able to get read and finish city of fallen angels all before I finished this chapter but have no fear for with this Cliff hanger I shall possible dive right into the next chapter so until next time I love you all bye *Blows kisses*

PS. I know in the book Kyle's real name is Jordan but I wrote this before I even knew who either of them were, and if you look back Clary is getting hit on by a guy named Jordan so that's why Maia's boyfriend's name is Kyle.
