My Pianoman Chapter 4, a mortal instruments fanfic

Hey guys, here's chapter 4! Hope you enjoy!

And I do not own anything. Everything goes to lovely Cassandra Clare!

CPOV

I woke up with Izzy by my side. I looked at the clock on the wall and it was just 5.45 am. Apparently I had fallen asleep in the car and someone had carried me to my room. Okay, not mine. Mine and Izzy's room. Wow, we've been here like 12 hours and our room is already really messy. But that's what you get when you live with Isabelle Ligtwood. I got up and took my running clothes from my suitcase. I tiptoed down the stairs and opened the door. I ran my normal one hour run and went back to eat some breakfast and to take a long shower.

I got back and went straight to the kitchen. It was just like when I was younger. I used to come here with Jon, mom and dad. We spent like three weeks here every summer, but then mom and dad started to cut from their holidays so they could work harder. They weren't never home. I practically lived half of my life alone with Jon. Mom and dad weren't there for me when I got my first period. They were on some business trip, once again, and I had no one to talk with. Sure I could have talk with Jon but I don't think he would wanted. Mom and dad weren't there for me when Mark and I broke up. They weren't there for me when he humiliated me in front of everybody. They weren't there for me when-

I shook my head. No, it's not right time to think sad things, I'm here with Jon, Jace and Iz. We are on holiday. Vacation. This is supposed to be fun. And it will be.

Jace walked to the kitchen shirtless and in his running shorts. His hair was damp from sweat. He smirked to me as he catched me staring.

"Like what you see?"

I rolled my eyes and offered him a glass of water. He took it smiling and drank it.

" Judging from your clothes you've been running too. A great view, huh?" he asked

"Yeah, that's one of the reasons I love this place. It's not so far away from city, but far enough, so it's peacefull here. And the ocean. I could spend a whole day just watchin' the waves. And that is what I'm going to do today." I answered smiling

He smiled too and put his glass down

"Can I come with you? It's okay of you don't want to, I understand if you want to be alone."

"No, no that's fine. I'd like that." I said "- and I can't believe I'm saying this already, but eith you I feel like I can be myself, you know, I don't have to think what you are thinking of me." I added after a moment.

" I know how you feel. 'Cause I feel that way too. With you it's just so easy. No awkward silent moments. And I'd like to know you better. Since you are Jon's baby sister of course." He said.

We decided to take quick showers and make a good breakfast to everybody.

I went silently to mine and Izzy's room and took off my running clothes. I walked to our bathroom and washed myself. I wrapped a towel around my small body and put my bikinis on since Jace and I were going to beach. My bikinis were simple black ones. I didn't want to even think about putting those small bikinis Isabelle had packed for me. I decided to wear my favourite dress. It was strapless black dress and it wasn't too short or too long. I brushed my hair and put it up into a messy bun. I looked at Izzy. She was still sleeping. She looked much younger when she slept. Much like when I met her for the first time. We were both ten and she was new in our school. Our teacher told her to sit next to me and that I would show her were her classes would be. And since that day, Isabelle has been by my side. I was lucky to have a friend like her. I smiled to myself and closed the door behind me.

I went back to downstrais and saw that Jace was already in the kitchen. I went to fridge just to found it to be empty. Of course there was no food, what was I thinking, we just got here yesterday. Jace and I decided to go to grocery and grab something for breakfast on the way back. I wrote a note to Jon and Izzy where we would be if they woke up before we got back.

JPOV (Jace)

I took Jon's car keys and we went to his car. I opened our windows and saw Clary smiling and closing her eyes to enjoy the wind on her face. I turned on the radio and Feel the love by Rudimental has just started. I began to sing along and after awhile I heard Clary singing too. We sang as loud as we could.

You know I said it's true
I can feel the love
Can you feel it too
I can feel it ah-ah
I can feel it ah-ah

You know I said it's true
I can feel the love
Can you feel it too
I can feel it ah-ah
I can feel it ah-ah-ah-ah, yeah

You know I said it's true
I can feel the love
Can you feel it too
I can feel it ah-ah
I can feel it ah-ah

You know I said it's true
You know I said
(A/N: I know, this is not the whole song! But it continues the same way. Listen to it if you haven't heard this great song yet! Sorry for the author's note! Enjoy..(: )

She laughed when the song ended. I smiled too. This was nice. I could definitely used to this, and by 'this' I mean the carefree-feeling I have always when I'm with her. I know I just met her like week ago, but it doesn't feel like that. I feel like I've known her half of my life or something.

"Jace, what are you thinkin'? You look so focused on and I can't believe it's because of the road." Clary laughed.

"Umm.. I was just thinking what we should buy" I lied.

"Okayy.. So, what do you think? Just basic stuff? We can always come again if something is missing." Clary suggested

"Yeah, that sounds good"

Rest of our grocery trip went by talking and laughing and we were back before Izzy and Jon had even woke up. We got some croissants and coffee and fresh fruits for breakfast. Clary asked if I could set the table while she would wake Iz and Jon up. I watched as she went upstairs and smiled to myself. I took plates and cups from cupboard and set them on the table.

First came Jon rubbing his eyes.

"Morning" he said

"Morning, did you get your beatysleep?" I asked smirking

"Shut up dude, it's like 8.30 am. Too early to anyone to wake up. Why the hell are you already up?"

"Oh Jon, you know, it takes my time to take care of this godly body. I have to run every morning just because I don't want to be a lazy couchpotato like you bro. No, just kidding. I woke up early and didn't get any sleep anymore so I decided to go for a run. Your sister apparently had same thoughts, since she was here in her running clothes at 7 am." I answered

"You ran with her? Jace, when I told you it would be oka-"

"Jon, calm down. No, I didn't run with her. I saw her here, in the kitchen, when I got back. So we decided to go to grocery together after we had took our showers." I explained

"Oh, okay, that's good."

Clary came to kitchen pulling Isabelle behind her.

"Clary why you woke me up this early. No sane people is up at 8.30 am, c'moon honey let me sleeeeeeeep" Izzy grouched

"No you can't sleep all day. Today we're going to the beach." Clary smiled

"Oh, thank you Jace darlin' for telling me!" Jon said. His voice was dripping sarcasm

"No problem, you know you love me honey" I answered smiling sweetly

"Okay guys shut up and eat your breakfast." Clary said shaking her head.

We ate our food and Jon said he could wash the dishes. Clary promised she would help him so Izzy and I went to change our clothes.

JPOV (Jonathan)

Clary washed the dishes and I dried them and placed them back to cupboard. After awhile I decided it would be good time to talk with Clare about Jace.

"Clary, what's going on with you and Jace?"

Clary dropped the plate she was washing and looked at me with her eyes wide open.

"Wha- What do you mean 'what's going on with you and Jace'?" She asked hesitantly. Like she wasn't sure if she wanted to hear the truth.

"C'moon Clary, you're my baby sis, I know you very well. I've noticed how you look at Jace and believe me I've noticed how Jace looks at you, too. So I ask again, what is going on between you two? And don't say 'nothing's going on', I know there is something."

She stared at me for awhile and took a deep breath. I knew she was choosing her words carefully.

"I'm not saying 'there's nothing going on between us' but I don't know myself what's going on. I feel like I can be myself with him. And that has not happened before. Not with anyone else than you and Isabelle. It's like I could just forget everything bad in my life for a moment when I'm with him. I know I have known him like 2 weeks, but it feels like he has been in my life like half of it. Do you know what I mean?" Clary said looking at me

"I don't know what that feel is, but I do believe you. How could I not? I've been talking about this with Jace too, and that almost exactly what he said too."

Clary's eyes widened and the look in them was hopeful. Her cheeks turned pink though she tried to hide it.

" You have talked about me with him? Why did you ask me what's going on between us if you already knew?" She asked

I smiled to her and stroked her hair.

"I needed to know what you thought about him. How could I give my permission to him if you weren't interested? If you weren't interested I would have told him to back off, but I guess if you're interested, then go ahead." I told her sighing

"Yeah, thanks Jon, but I don't know what I should do or when I should do something." She said blushing.

I laughed and kissed her forehead

"Leave that to Jace. I know he's, after all, a romantic guy. He can make you like a princess if he really wants to" Yeah, he is. I remember that one time when he had tried serious dating and the girl had ran away, because he was way too romantic for her taste. Since that day Jace haven't dated seriously any girl.

"Jace? A romantic guy? Are we speaking of the same Jace? The Jace I know is arrogant as hell, but at the same time he is good at listening and he is very gentle. And that body.." Clary's voice faded towards the end as she realized who she was speaking to. Her blush got even deeper and I laughed at her.

"Yeah, he is. But please, my dear baby sister, I don't want to hear what you REALLY think of him. You can have that talk with Isabelle." I said

Clary laughed awkwardly and said that she was going to get her stuff for the beach day.

JPOV (Jace)

I changed into my swimming shorts and took my towel, then I went downstairs to get my shirt that I had left on the chair in kitchen. I heard Clary and Jon talking and I stopped right where I was.

"Yeah, thanks Jon, but I don't know what I should do or when I should do something." Clary said.

My blood was boiling. Was some guy interested in Clary? My Clary, okay, she's not mine. But still. And Clary liked him back? My heart skipped few beats as I continued listening

"Leave that to Jace. I know he's, after all, a romantic guy. He can make you like a princess if he really wants to"

Wait. What? They're talking about me? Whaaaat? Does Clary feel the same way as I do?

"Jace? A romantic guy? Are we speaking of the same Jace? The Jace I know is arrogant as hell, but at the same time he is good at listening and he is very gentle. And that body.." Clary's voice faded towards the end. I guess she realized who she was talking to, but I felt myself smiling like I had won a jackpot. I have.

Clary laughed and said she would go to get her stuff and I ran to bathroom so she couldn't see me. I waited few minutes and came out.

Jon was still in kitchen, but this time talking on phone. I waved to him and he nodded his head in response.

"Yeah mom, thanks, I won't tell her."

"Yes. It will be a surprise. And no, I don't think she's disapointed. We're kind of used to it that you aren't never home, mom. Yeah, sure. Bye"

He looked at me for awhile

"Jace you can keep a secret, right?" he asked.

"Of course I can." I said

He took a deep breath

"As you know, Clary's birthday is soon and mom and dad have bought this cottage to her for her birthday. She doesn't know about that yet so could you please keep your mouth shut." He asked smiling

Wow, a whole cottage for a birthday present. But it really doesn't surprise me. Valentine and Jocelyn Morgernstern always has bought something expensive to Jon and Clary, I guess that's because they are always away and they think that byuing expensive stuff will make everything okay.

"Yeah, I'll be quiet." I laughed.

Clary and Izzy came down and we went to the beach. I saw few surfers in the water and thought that I could take Clary surfing too.

"Hey, Clary, do you want to come surfing with me?" I asked

She hesitated for a moment before she nodded her head

"I've never surfed before you know." she said biting her lip. Oh god, that's so sexy. No, Jace, stop. We're on public place.

"It doesn't matter. I'm a great teacher. Best actually." I said winking

Clary smacked my arm playfully and I grabbed her hand and pulled her with me toward the surfers.

"Hey, guys excuse me! Do you know where we could rent surfboards?" I asked them

"It's that little cottage right there!" One of the guys pointed.

"Okay, thanks a lot!" I thanked "c'moon Clary, lets go!" I pulled her with me again. Her hand felt so tiny in my big one. So soft.

I rented surfboards to both of us and taught her basics and then we went into water. I hopped onto my surfboard and helped Clary onto hers. I told her to try first on her own and if that didn't work out, I would help her. She started to paddle and got up when the wave came, but she fell almost immediately. I ran to check that she was okay and she came to the surface coughing.

"Clary are you alright?"

"Yeah, I'm fine. Boy this is harder than it seem on movies." She murmured.

I laughed and helped her up again. We spent the next two hours surfing, or actually I spent the next two hours helping Clary and she spent the hours falling, but we had really fun. Clary wanted to try one more time and I helped her back onto the board. This time she didn't fall immediately, no, she stayed up for actually pretty long time. Her smile was so bright and her eyes were full of laughter. She ran to me and wrapped her arms around my neck and hugged me tightly. I hugged her back and suddenly after awhile she realized how tight her hold was.

She unwrapped her arms quickly and blushed. I smiled to her and caressed her cheek before dropping my hand. She smiiled shyly and we returned our boards and went back to where Izzy and Jon were.

"Wow Clary, you almost stayed up as long as you can fly" Jon said laughing.

"Ha ha ha, you're so funny Johnny boy." Clary said rolling her eyes.

We spent rest of the day laughing, eating and swimming. There was a beautiful sunset and Izzy wanted to go and get her camera. Jon didn't trust that Izzy would remember bring the cottage's keys back so he went with her. I sat beside Clary on the sand and we just watched the sunset.

I felt a weight on my shoulder and looked down. Clary rested her head on my shoulder and was looking up at my eyes.

"Thank you Jace. I had really fun today thanks to you." she said smiling

"You're welcome. I had fun too." I said smiling too. I kissed her hair and felt her body tense, but after awhile it relaxed and she wrapped her arms around my waist and I wrapped mine around her shoulders. She made this sunset even more beautiful. We sat like that for a long time and suddenly I heard a silent click, but Clary didn't apparently hear it, because she didn't lift her head. I looked carefully back and saw smirking Isabelle with her camera in her hand and smiling and winking Jon. I shook my head lightly and turned my head back and hugged Clary more tightly and rested my head on top of hers.
