CLARY'S POV ( OR CLARISSA IF YOU WANT TO PUT IT LIKE THAT, A.K.A THE FIERY LITTLE REDHEAD)
Jace had been difficult lately, well, even more difficult than normal. I'm not sure if it was the duck situation or if he was on like a man period or something but he was really, really moody. I decide to hold a surprise party for him, and lucky for me, Magnus was definitely in on the idea. every downworlder and shadowhunter in the town were invited. We set together on our mission discreetly whilst Jace is sent on a "special mission" that Alec had set up. So whilst Alec was distracting Jace, of course in a place that has loads of mirrors (obviously Jace would get distracted by himself and his "good looks").
Several hours later and it has gotten quite dark. We each have a job to do. Izzy's job is to stay away from the kitchen so as not to poison us with her cooking, Simon's job is music and electrical, Magnus's job is helping with decorations and inviting people. My job? Helping with decorations and making absolute sure that Jace has a good time.
Jace and Alec strut in, Jace complaining about something to do with "Alec dragging him to Magnus's so that Alec can be all mushy with his bae". The place is already full of downworlders and shadowhunters alike and Simon's band starts playing.
"SURPRISE!" I giggle from beside him.
Jace, cocky as always after discovering the party is for him states
"I knew you all would recognize how awesome I am one day!"
Everything was going as planned. I glance around. Simon has a grin on his face and practically has love heart eyes as he looks at Izzy, who is jamming to his songs. Alec and Magnus have retreated to some corner to be all lovey-dovey. I was surprised to see that Raphael even showed up, glowering at a particular green haired warlock with bushy eyebrows.
I turn around but Jace is no-longer there, where in the name of the Angel did he go!? I head over to the mini bar to get a better look. As I perch on one of the vintage purple leather stools I notice his golden hair. He slightly turns as the crowd sways for me to notice something that freezes me up as I stare. He wraps his arms around the faerie he was currently making out with. I gag. how COULD he!? I run out of the club and onto the street. I can't believe it. I can't believe he would just do something like that!?
I reach the institute, my head spinning. I gather all of my belongings ( Which consists of a notepad, some pencils, my stele and my phone/phone charger among other little things already in my bag. Even the thought of him hurts. I just can't see his face. I head out to my cosy apartment that Izzy and I've had for awhile as a get-away place, somewhere to think and just chill I guess.
I wouldn't say it was huge, but it definitely wasn't small. the landlord had just given us it since it had been the most rundown and "unfixable" area in 18 apartment building. After Izzy and I fixed it up to our taste it became a great living area, fit with soft black carpet and illustrated walls. We didn't forget to apply protection runes to it either.
The lounge had a Ruby red L couch and a flat-screen tv aswell as a coffee table and some other basic decorations. The kitchen was quite basic as well with i'ts white cabinets and checker tiled floor and of course the necessary utensils and a coffee machine. The bathroom was plain aswell and we have yet to decide on the colour scheme, but for now it is white and blue. The bedroom which we shared was really big. Big enough to fit two queen sized beds on each side of the room as well as a spacious wardrobe and some drawers, and of course, a desk with Clary's art supplies and an easle.
The boys, of course, had no idea of this place except for Simon, who was close with both of us and sometimes needed a place to stay out of the sun, and would often crash on the couch.
Clary set her bag down on her silky green duvet and sat at her desk. She lost track of time, flooding her emotions out in her art for several hours, until the shrill ringing of her phone brought her out of her daze. Checking the caller ID she was relieved to find it was just Iz. Thinking better than to make her best friend worry, she answered the call.
"Clary! Thank the Angel you picked up, Where are you? Are you Safe? What's happened?"
"Hey Iz, I-" Her voice cracked from the lack of use. She cleared her throat.
" I'm at the apartment. I just, need to clear my head, are you coming round later or hanging with Simon?" I ask, trying to avoid speaking of what happened unless necessary.
" I'll be over in a couple of minutes, stay there and we'll talk. Love ya"
The call ended and Clary took a deep, shaky breath.
THIRD PERSON POV (OR WHATEVER)
Izzy had arrived at the apartment to find her best friend in a bad state. After the call, Clary had obviously been crying. Izzy hugged her friend as she tried explaining what made her so upset and why she left the party so early.
"He-he Cheated on me" Clary finally managed.
"Jace?" Izzy questioned, making sure she heard right. Clary nodded. At that moment she was filled with anger that her brother of sorts would just go and cheat on her best friend.
After Clary had calmed down a bit and was able to say the entire thing Isabelle went to the kitchen to make them each a butterscotch lat'e (which thank goodness was pretty good unlike her cooking) and they just sat there in silence, with the mutual understanding of anger and sorrow, but also love for Izzy and Clary had both gone through so much together, and were inseparable.
I'm sorry, Please don't hate me all you Clace shippers, things MAY get better. Or not. Depends what I end up doing or not doing.
SoSoFabulous please don't devour my soul for breaking one of your most prized and precious ships.
Let me tell you all, my plans for this story get worse. I'm sorry.
BUT on the good note, Alec didn't die yet as I had originally planned but then thought against.
For good reason too may I add...
