Chapter 6:

Clary's POV:

I rolled over the over-excessively large bed. The bed was cold in some parts indicating to me that Jace had left. I didn't want to wake up but the sunlight had creeped under my curtains. I screwed my eyes shut not wanting to think about what had happened last night. I sigh in defeat and slid my legs of the bed. I shiver as I leave the comfort of the bed and my feet make contact with the coldness of the floor. I here a knock on the door.

"Clary? Are you awake?"

"Uh yeah." Poppy and Maia's head popped through the door.

"Good news!" Maia says

"What?" I question intrigued.

"The king has gone for a Long trip to the Blackthorn castle for three days." Poppy answers. I want to pretend that I feel sad that he's gone but I really only feel relived.

"Yeeessss" I say letting the relief flood through me.

"And he sent Isabel Lightwood to come here as well." Poppy said. Just as the words are out of her mouth Izzy's head popped through the door.

"Me and you are having a girls night!" Izzy says. I see Maia and Poppy's face drop.

"Um Izzy? Can my friends also join?"

"The downworlders?"she arches an eyebrow. My face hardens. "Just kidding! Of course they can. I actually have my maid with me but she's like my Best Friend can she join?"

"The more the merrier." I say and we all smile at each other.

20 pancakes and four movies later we are all lounging about on the couch. We had kinda had Brunch so no one was worried about eating. Izzy's maid; Helen. Was great she was very down to earth but had an amazing sense of humour.

"What should we do know?" I question. Izzy Bolts up. "Make-over!"

"Noooooooooo" Helen says sending us into fits of laughter. "Last time she spent and hour on the eyeliner. MY EYELINER!" We are laughing so much. "It wasn't thaaat bad." Izzy tries to defend. Helen and I raise and eyebrow because we have both had Izzy's makeover before. "Yeah ok, I can sometimes get carried away." At that we laugh. Maia actually falls of the couch and I'm drumming the heels of my feet into the floor. Izzy looks at us with a raised eyebrow as we calm down.

"Pleeeaaseee" she begs. We all look at each other and shrug. She yelps and drags us all into my room. Izzy turns to my face while Maia stars on Helen. Poppy is looking through my dress and holding them up to her body as we shout odd words along the lines of:

"Oooo that's a nice one"

"Poppy Daaarling you look gorgeous"

"Oh how Fabulous dearie"

"Oh the boys will be at you honey"

We somehow developed an English accept in between. We laugh and play around and for the first time I'm just genuinely happy. Three hours later. My dresses are strewn across the floor and our faces and nails are emaculate.( except for the streak of Lipstick across Izzy's neck). Helen than gets up.

"I'm uh gonna go and quickly yeah" before turning and leaving the room. We all look at each other in confusion but shrug it off. We start chatting aimlessly when a knock comes on the door. Maia raises an eyesbrow and opens the door.

There are three baskets being held by Helen.

"Surprise?" Helen says.

"What's this?" Maia asks.

"It's my surprise, we are going for a midnight feast in the royal gardens!"

We are silent for about three seconds before;"eeeekkkk, yaaayy!" Izzy steals before we all take the baskets in and ask Helen how she arranged it.

"Well, when I arrived I asked the pastry Chef to make us something's for a picnic I told her I would pick it up later. So I left to get them and yeah..." she explains.

"Well," I begin "one thing is for certain. Helen you are the best." Everyone else laughs and nods along and we all peer into The baskets.

In one basket there was two bottle of lemonade and sandwiches with every combination ever; cheese and Ham, tuna and sweet corn, chicken and cheese, bacon and lettuce etc. In the next basket there were muffins and scones with jam and butter. In the last basket there where five glasses, a fruit salad and a massive chocolate cake along with plastic knives and forks and a bunch of napkins.

"Wow! I have to remember to thank the cook, this is amazing." I state in awe.

I look at the clock. Three hours until midnight so two hours until we can go oitside and start setting things up.

"Well what should we do for the next two hours and a bit?" Izzy asks

"Hide and seek?" Maia suggests.

"What are we? Three?" Poppy says.

"Then what do you suggests?"

"Truth or dare!" Izzy yells

"Ok!"

"Sure."

"Huh fine!"

"So it's settled truth or dare."

"Ok I'll go first" Maia starts "Izzy truth or dare"

"Dare!"

"Ok I dare you to go make out with the first man that we see when we walk out."

"Ok I'll do it." Izzy gets up and Helen follows to make sure she does the dare. A couple minutes later Izzy and Helen come back and Helens holding her sides.

"What happened?" I ask once Helen's calmed down she tells us.

"So we were walking and then we saw Simon the stable boy and Izzy has had a nerd crush on him since he caught her when she fell of her horse. So she went up to him and he said hi but Izzy just started to make out with him and then he started to respond and then they started kissing for ages and then when they finally stopped he asked Izzy out!" We are all laughing at how it turned out in Izzy's favour and Maia tells Izzy how lucky she is that Maia picked that dare.

"Ok ok. Helen truth or dare."

"Truth"

"Tell us something you have never told anyone else." Helen takes. Deep breath.

" uh I'm um a lesbian." We are silent for a beat before we tell her that that's great for her she smiles.

"Clary truth or dare"

"Truth"

"Did you like 'sleep' with Jace last night?"

A blush creeps its way across my cheeks.

"No." I say my head down. Maia and Poppy laugh while Izzy shakes her head.

"Death me Clary what are we going to do with you." I laugh it of and turn to Poppy.

"Truth or Dare."

"Dare" she says wiggling her eyebrows. I think for a moment."I dare you to go to kitchen and complain that last time you ate a donut it had a while in it." I say

"Ok, ok I'll do that." I get up to go with her. We make it to the kitchen and Poppy sees the Chef. She makes her way over and stamps her foot.

"I have a complaint about the food." She begins. "Yesterday I had a donut, and" she paused for effect. "It had a hole in it. This big!" Gesturing with her fingeres I stuff my fist into my mouth and grin.

"Umm Poppy are you ok?" The Chef asks.

"No I am not ok this is an insult. I am very disappointed." With that she tuts and stomps of a follow behind once we are far away from earshot we hurts our laughing and continue this while we enter my room. Once we're calm we recount the stairs for Helen, Maia and Izzy then start laughing all together.

"Ok ok, Next. Maia!"

"Dare"

"I dare you to play are you nervous with Helen."

"Oh fine." She puts her hand on Helens leg.

"Are you nervous?"

"Nope." Helen replies popping the P. Maia moves her hand to further forward.

"Now?"

"Nuh-Uh"

She then moves her hand to Helens breast.

"Now?"

"Yes!" Helen screams. Before laughing.

With all the fun we are having I almost forget about Jace and Everything that has happened

Almost.
