Welcome to my nightmare

September 18th 2012

Jace eyes flew open as he bolted upright, breathing heavily.

He felt Clary stir beside him. "What´s the matter Jace?" she asked, her voice thick with sleep.

He slid down next to her again, pulled her body close to his naked chest and buried his face in her soft curls, inhaling the familiar floral scent of her shampoo. His erratic heartbeat slowed almost instantly. "It was just a nightmare," he said to assure himself as much as her and kissed the silky skin of her neck. "Go back to sleep Angel. I didn´t mean to wake you."

Clary snuggled even closer to him. "It´s okay, baby. What was it about?"

Jace took a deep breath. "I dreamt that you were leaving and I was too late to stop you…I can´t... It was so real."

"It wasn´t real, though. I´m still here," she whispered and pressed a kiss to his lips.

He rolled them over until she lay on her back and he rested between her smooth legs. He palmed her perfect breasts underneath her cami and stroked his thumbs over her nipples. Her low moan caused his already hard dick to ache with the need to be inside of her and he pushed against her panty-covered mound. "Angel, you feel soooo good," he groaned into her ear.

Clary moaned again and arched her back. Her arms were wrapped around his shoulders, her voice husky as she whispered, "It´s time to get up, Jace."

He froze. "Wh…what?"

She looked deep into his eyes and stroked his scruffy cheek. "Wake up."

"Wake up!" Izzy shouted while pounding on the bedroom door.

Jace sat up and looked around his immaculate room, hoping against all odds that Clary was still there. Once he found it as empty as when he went to sleep last night, he collapsed down again and covered his face with a pillow.

It was just another dream. He used to have them every night after Clary left, but as time passed they appeared less frequently and when she´d been gone a little over eight months they stopped altogether.

But as of three weeks ago they started up again, worse than ever. Now he awoke two to three times a night with the sound of her voice in his ears, her scent in his nose and the taste of her on his lips…

The banging grew louder, as did Izzy´s voice. "Get the hell out of your room, Jace. God, you´re such an ass," she hollered. "It´s the first day of school and I refuse to be late!"

Jace groaned into the pillow and climbed slowly out of bed. Izzy had been more annoying than usual these last three weeks. She had been gone from sunrise to sunset, supposedly getting ready for 'the best year ever'. Jace couldn´t see what was going to be so great about it. Just another year without his Angel by his side.

He shook his head to clear his mind. He always felt weaker after one of the dreams, but he was over her and had been from the moment she left. Jace Lightwood didn´t pine over girls, they pined over him.

"Jace!" Izzy shrieked.

"I´m up, I´m up!" he yelled. "For fucks sake Iz, give me a break!"

"Okay then," her chipper voice became muted by the door when she wasn´t screaming at the top of her lungs anymore. "Hurry up, or you won´t have time for breakfast."

"What the fuck ever," Jace muttered and strode to the en-suite bathroom. His sister's mood swings were getting on his last nerves. He started the water before emptying his bladder,so that it was nice and hot when he stepped under the spray. Jace squirted some body wash into his hands and started cleaning his body. He rubbed the soap over his well-defined pecs and toned abs that had become nicely tanned over the summer. He gave extra attention to his dick, making it hard. From out of nowhere came images of Clary and the last time they were alone together, before she broke up with him. They had just reached second base and the memories of her firm breast made him moan. He closed his eyes as the fantasies moved into uncharted territory and all of a sudden he imagined her on her knees in front of him. Touching. Tasting. Jace groaned as he stroked his length up and down, from base to top, massaging the head carefully. Memories from the dream made him pick up the pace and before he knew it he shot his cum all over the shower tiles.

"Fuck!" he pumped his hands furiously as he spilled the last drops.

When the orgasm subsided he scrubbed his hands thoroughly and proceeded with washing his golden blonde hair.

"Every fucking morning," he muttered angrily. "Every fucking morning I jerk off to last night's dream. Pathetic. I need to get laid."

Jace wasn´t a virgin by any means, he got rid of that shit two weeks after she left and had since then been able to pick and choose which girl was lucky enough to end up in his bed. But the dreams made him unable to focus on getting anyone off, except himself.

He turned off the water, reached for one of the towel that always hung on a hook just outside of the shower and tied it loosely around his hips. Jace wiped the steam from the bathroom mirror and brushed his teeth. He considered shaving, but decided against it. A little scruff seemed to drive the girls crazy. He winked his golden eyes at his reflection. He knew that he looked good and refused to pretend otherwise. He combed his hair with his fingers. Maybe today wouldn´t be so bad after all.

Jace entered the kitchen with his usual cocky stride. He wore a pair of ripped, low riding jeans that were soft from frequent use and a plain black, fitted t-shirt that showed off his biceps perfectly.

He sat down at is usual seat at the table and fixed a bowl of cereal. He ate in silence, chewing every bite slowly before swallowing, all the while ignoring the glares coming from a very stressed out Izzy.

"Waddaya want, Iz?" he asked lazily, after finishing the last of his breakfast.

"Are you seriously going to the first day of our senior year dressed like that?" disgust dripping from her voice.

"Yup," he smirked. "What´s wrong with it?"

"Where do I start?" she huffed "You have a closet full of perfectly nice clothes, thanks to your loving sis…"

Jace put up his hand to cut off her tirade. "Planning on yapping for long? We don´t wanna be late for school."

Alec's low chuckle snapped her head in his direction, an angry scowl on her face.

Jace folded his arms behind the back of his head and tipped the chair back while enjoying the show. There were few things that were as hilarious as a furious Izzy, although, he could never understand what the guys in school saw in her. Sure, her raven colored hair and nearly black eyes created a nice contrast to her usually pale skin, which was now tanned from spending most of her free time at the beach this summer. And she was always dressed in tight, pretty revealing clothes, that on any other girl would look hot as hell. But to Jace she was still that same bratty sister that used to scream for mommy when he pulled her pigtails when they were younger. Alec, her twin brother, had the same hair color, but there was where all similarities ended. His eyes were midnight blue, he had a bulkier form and no fashion sense whatsoever. But since he started dating Magnus his choice in clothing had improved immensely, replacing his old over-sized sweatshirts and baggy pants with long sleeved tees that he rolled up to his elbows and boot cut jeans, which fit him a whole lot better.

"Are you done yet?" Jace asked impatiently. "We gotta pick up Seb before school."

"Are we picking up one of your…girlfriends," sarcastic air-quotes, "or can we get Simon, too?"

"Nah," he smirked and grabbed his car keys from the counter. "I´m back on the market for now. With all the new student bodies arriving at school today…" Jace wiggled his eyebrows suggestively. "I have to keep my options open."

"Pig," Izzy hissed, then did a 180 and started jumping up and down with a small squeal. "It´s gonna be the best year ever. I just know it." She practically skipped outside while humming tunelessly.

Jace gave his brother a questioning look. "What the fuck is up with her lately? She´s been acting weird for weeks." Her mood had been all over the place, she was never home and didn´t eveb seem to have time for her boyfriend, something Jace had heard more than enough complaining about. Like he expected Jace to care?

Alec shrugged and grabbed his backpack off the floor. "Who the hell knows? She´s a girl and it´s impossible to wrap your head around them. Maybe it´s PMS?"

Jace nodded, grabbed his own backpack and walked out the door. "Yeah, don´t I know it."

Jace drove to the school parking lot in his pride and joy, an Impala -69. He killed the engine, slid out of the car and leaned against it while eyeing the other students that milled around. The parking lot was one of the best places to scope out new girls. They all went through here at one time or another, whether they were fresh meat or just the same old ones that got hotter over the summer.

Seb climbed out on the passenger side and moved his seat to let out the three people that were crammed in the back.

"Shit," Simon groaned as he stood up and stretched, causing his spine to crack into place. "Remind me to never get into the backseat of your car ever again."

"No one's forcing you four eyes," Jace mumbled absentmindedly while eyeing a brunette that passed by them. No, been there, done that.

"There´s no room to breathe in there, never mind anything else." Simon continued, unfazed by the insult. He, like the rest of them, had gotten used to Jace's crabby mood this past year.

"Yeah," Jace smirked. "But I have fun trying."

Izzy didn´t call him out on his assyness for once. She jumped up and down, clapped her hands together, and giggled like a little girl, her eyes on the entrance to the parking lot.

"Dude," Seb looked at her with wide eyes. "What the fuck is your sister on, and where can I get some?"

Jace shrugged and kept his eyes in the same direction as Izzy. "Finally lost your mind, Iz?"

"Just wait and see," was her only response.

An enormous Hummer drove through the gates and parked two rows away from them, taking up at least two spaces. It was all in black, even the hubs, with no chrome whatsoever and had customized tires, the size of maybe three normal ones. The windows were tinted, making it impossible to see who the driver was. Gangsta' rap came blaring from the half open window on the passenger side.

"Fuck," Seb breathed. "Look at that sweet-ass ride."

"Yeah," Alec agreed.

Izzy's squeal got louder.

The door on the driver side opened and out stepped a real life goddamn giant.

"Look at that guy," Jace said, wide-eyed. "He´s fucking gigantic. For real. Like…Hugenormus."

"That´s not a word," Alec's grin was condescending.

"The hell it isn´t, am I right Seb?"

Seb nodded with his mouth hanging open.

"Gigundus," Jace tried again.

"Okay, also not a word, Fucker," Alec snickered.

"Fine, really, really, really huge. How´s that?"

"Who´s that guy? Simon asked. "He looks too old to be a student, but I can´t be sure from this distance. Maybe a new teacher?"

"Hell yeah," Seb agreed. "'Bout fucking time we got some cool teachers in this place."

Jace attention was focused on the giant as he walked around the car, opened the passenger door, reached out with arms the size of Jace's thighs, and lifted out a small redheaded girl.

He wanted to look away but his eyes were glued to the couple in front of him. He tried not to stare too closely at the girl. After all, redheads' didn´t do it for him. Not anymore.

He could hear the soft peals of her laughter and he had no problem imagining that her eyes would be emerald green and that they sparkled joyously.

The sudden ache in his chest made it hard to breathe and he had to fight to stay upright. Jace saw from the corner of his eye how Izzy ran up to them.

Clary was back, and she wasn´t alone.

He watched her wrap her arms around the giants broad neck, while he placed is gigantic hands on her slim hips, his long fingers covered her ass. She threw her head back and laughed at something Izzy said. The giant lifted her down to the ground, but kept his hand on the small of her back. He reached inside the car and took out a messenger bag that he slung over his shoulder.

As the three of them started heading his way Jace seriously considered running off from there, but his feet seemed to be planted to the ground. Instead he forced himself to study Clary's new boyfriend.

The guy looked to be at least six-foot-five, maybe more and probably weighed more than him and his friends put together. He was all muscles, not an ounce of fat anywhere. His hair was set in black spikes; seven metal studs ran all the way up one ear, a black hoop in the middle of his bottom lip and one in his left eyebrow. He wore sunglasses, so Jace couldn´t see the color of his eyes, but he had a single red teardrop outlined in black tattooed on the right side of his face just below the eye.

He was dressed in a black wife beater tucked into dark blue Z-Brands and what looked like a pair of size-fourteen Nike Air Shox.

As Jace stared at the giant's feet he thought; Fuck, those Nikes need to come with a lifejacket and a fucking anchor. They were that big.

When there wasn´t anything that could distract him Jace's eyes traveled on their own volition to Clary's petite frame.

Fuck!

He´d always thought she´d been beautiful, even when they were little and when they got older he quickly realized that she was sexy, too. But now…

She had a pair of green Chuck Taylor on her tiny feet and was dressed in a pair of black skinny jeans that looked like they´d been painted on her legs, and a white, V-necked tank top that revealed how much she´d grown the past year. Her breasts had to be at least a cup size bigger. His hands itched to find out for themselves. Her stunning hair flowed in lose curls down her back; her sparse make-up did nothing to hide those fucking adorable freckles that she used to be so self-conscious about. The delicate gold chain around her neck gleamed in the sunlight.

She kept it all this time.

He pushed any thoughts about what that could mean to the back of his head.

The sound of Seb´s voice urgently whispering his name penetrated through his numb brain.

"Fuck!" Seb whisper-shouted. "What I wouldn´t do to have those legs wrapped around me."

Jace fought against the urge to pummel his friend into a bloody pulp. "The giant would most likely kill you if you touched her," Or I would.

"I don´t care," Seb groaned. "I would die a happy man."

The mis-matched couple had reached the other side of the car and he watched with a sick feeling in the pit of his stomach as Simon and Alec hugged Clary and shook the giants' meaty hand. Then they walked over until they came to a stop right in front of him.

Seb put on a flirtatious smile that Jace had seen him use on other girls more times that he could count and reached out his hand towards Clary. She placed her small, delicate hand in his and he leant down and placed a kiss on her knuckles. "I´m Seb," he winked and chuckled when he made her blush. "It´s a pleasure to meet you."

Both Jace and the giant scowled at him, but he was as ignorant as usual.

Clary tugged her hand from his grip and wiped it discreetly on the back of the giants' beater. "Okay. Well, I´m Clary and this is Quinn, my…um…"

The giant, Qhuinn reached out and shook Seb´s hand, a little too hard from the look on his face. "I´m he guardian."

Jace scoffed and six pair of eyes turned towards him.

"Jace…" Clary began, but he ignored her and spoke to his sister that stood a little to the side, nervously biting her lip.

"You knew, didn´t you?" he asked, steel in his voice. "That´s what you been up to these last three weeks? You fucking knew!?"

"Um…yes," Izzy looked down on her feet.

His gaze returned to the couple in front of him. Clary took a step towards him and he backed away from her. "Jace…" she tried again.

But he didn´t listen, he spun on his heels and left her there, staring after him.
