Here is the next part of Clary and Jon's conversation. Sorry for leaving you guys with a cliffy but I can't help myself. I just love drama, if you couldn't tell. I really have enjoyed writing this story and love all the positive things I have received in p.m. or reviews. You guys are awesome. So here are a few shout outs to some of the people who reviewed the last few chapters.
Disclaimer: All characters are property of Cassandra Clare.
divergentshipper10: I can't say who she will end up with just yet. But if you want it to be Alec don't forget to vote for him on my poll.
NoahSteph: Sorry that the recent chapters haven't been as long as before. I am trying to make them longer though. I promise to keep updating at least twice a week for a while. : D
Workitfierce: I can tell you really like Alec. Lol. As for what you said about Alec and Raphael needing more action I agree. Most fanfics ignore them or there's a few one dedicated to them. Maybe the next them ill make will be all about Alec and or Raphael.
greygirl2358: Alec is bisexual. He always thought he was gay since he has never been attracted to girls. He only realized this when he met Clary. Yes he has dated guys in the past but nothing serious like how he feels about her.
IAmTheRevelation: One:Yes I know poor Alec
Two: Yes Jace is an ass. I'm just showing him as the first book portrays his personality.
Three: Jon does meddle a lot in Clarys business but that's how I made him. I wanted Clary to have the father and brother she deserved. Two men who love her and place her happiness above all else. I don't think you were ranting btw. I thought it was nice you like my story that much. It means the world to me.
PART ONE
O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O
"Ok. You might want to sit down for this. What I am about to tell you will piss you off to no end. (He stiffens as he sits on the edge of my bed) I need you to stay as calm as possible."
Jon is starting to breathe in heavily. He is probably having a flashback to when I told him about Sebastian. Oh well now it's four times worse. Here goes nothing.
O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O
Jon's P.O.V.
Fuck fuck fuck fuck. Please don't tell me you have a boyfriend please don't tell me you have a boyfriend. Please god not this again she is too little to have another boyfriend.
"Let me just say first of all I don't have a boyfriend." Clary says.
(My entire body relaxes) Oh thank god. Thank you.
"Yet." Clary says inching away from me.
"WHAT! Who! When! Why! Clary no. Who is it?!" I can't help but yell at my scared little sister. She's growing up too fast.
"Jon please calm down or you won't find out. (I start taking deep breaths. She waits a few seconds then continues) I need you to not yell at the next part. (I can't help but stiffen. How could it get worse?) Oh god how do I start?" Clary starts pacing trying to collect her thoughts. Its not helping me one bit.
"Screw it. Jon I just found out four different guys like me. I already went out with two. One was a total asshole the other was a gentleman. The third guy was super romantic and the last one may be Sebastian. I still haven't confirmed if he likes me." Clary blurts out her entire speech.
She stands there staring at me afraid to move her body an inch. Something inside of me just snaps. I don't move though. My mind is racing trying to figure out how the hell I'm going to kill all of them and hide their bodies. No, ill torture them first, they should have stayed away from her. Clary is an angel and no one on this earth is good enough for her. I'm going to kill them all. No you're not. You promised Clary you would back off. Remember? I really hate my voice of reason.
"Jon?" Clary asks in her low soothing voice.
I can't respond right now. The only thing keeping me from exploding is the death grip I have on her mattress. Clary has four guys after her. Why did she have to be pretty?
Keep calm and don't freak out. You need to know who they are. If you start threatening people right away she might not reveal the other three. Ugh.
"I don't like this." I mutter under my breath still clutching her mattress. I can't say anything else.
"How do you think I feel? Jon I just don't like keeping things from you. So I should tell you the rest." As soon as she says that I put my head between my legs. Just when I thought it was over she pulls this crap.
(I groan)
"When I borrowed your car on Thursday I used it to go out with the first guy. (I groan louder. She used my baby for that.) Then Friday while you were at practice I went on a date with the second guy. (I groan even louder) And all four guys are going to be invited to my party next Saturday."
"Aaaaahhh. No Clary no. Stop." I can't take it anymore. I get up and start pacing around her room.
"No! Why four? I think I would have preferred coming in here with you telling me you had a new boyfriend but not this. Who are they Clary? I need to know." I place my hands on her tiny shoulders and look at her straight in the eyes. She will tell me their names.
Clary won't stop fidgeting. I know she is arguing with herself in her head but even inner thoughts Clary knows I won't leave until I get their names.
"Fine. Sebastian Verlac, Raphael Santiago, Jace and Alec Lightwood." She cries out.
(My grip tightens)
JACE LIGHTWOOD. Golden boy? On my team! Raphael! The mother fucking playboy? NO! And who the hell is Alec lightwood? Is he related to Jace?
"Clary Jace is on the soccer team. He is one of the new guys. (Her eyes widen at her realization) And I warned you about Raphael. He's been with almost every girl in our grade and 11th. Now he's going after freshmen girls. And who the hell is Alec?" I need answers.
"Jace and I have art class together during last period. I met him there. And no I had no idea he was on your team. He's the one I dated first when I borrowed your car. It was awful and I left him there. (My grip relaxes. At least my sister took precautions) Alec and Jace are brothers. I have Alec for Chemistry and he and I are in track together. I went out with him on Friday. He was nice and never tried a thing. Plus we never kissed so chill. And as for Raphael I remember what you said. I stayed away from him but he insisted he would give up. (My body stiffens again) He however said he would be patient and not pressure me in any way. And he hasn't. He passed me the sweetest handwritten note with a pressed rose inside and it was the most romantic thing anyone has ever given me. (She blushes) So I'm torn between what you told me about him and how he treats me. I don't know if Sebastian likes me either but the girls seem to think so. So my feelings are all jumbled up and confused. Oh and Izzy is Jace and Alec sister. Oh and they live next door."
With that I finally lose it.
"WHAT! They live next door. Those two horn dogs live next to us! Do you really expect me to believe you had no clue?" I'm yelling at the top of my lungs now.
I instantly regret it. I see her crying into her hands and backing away from me. There's nothing worse than seeing her like this. Except maybe the fact that I'm the one who caused it.
"Shh. Clary I'm so sorry please stop crying. I'm so sorry Clare bear." I swoop her into my arms cradling her like when she was little.
"I'm so sorry I lost it like that but it's so much to take in." Fuck. I screwed up.
"It's ok. You're doing better than we thought. Izzy convinced me to tell you tonight. She said if you found out Monday or at the party things might end horribly." Clary nuzzles into my neck.
"She was right. Its better I know now. I'm just having a hard time with all of this. Especially since two of them live next door." Now I really wish she just had said she had a boyfriend. Now I have to worry of them coming over.
"I know. I just found out today. I never knew Izzy lived next door or that Jace and Alec are brothers. And now I just found out Jace is on your team. This day needs to stop surprising me." She huffs from exhaustion. I never stopped to think about how this is affecting her.
"Damn. I'm sorry Clary it's just so much. Look it's late and we both need a good night's rest and we will talk about this tomorrow. I need to sleep on it." I give her a smile and she me one back. This is why I love her. Even when I'm at my worst she calms me down. I need to protect her. Without her I would dive into the deepest parts of hell and never come back out.
"Ok, but Jon can you stay with me. I'm kind of afraid that if you leave my sight you might go next door and start a fight." She says with all seriousness.
"Damn you know me too well. Ok ill stay." We smile at each other. "Let me go change first. I am not sleeping in these jeans."
I walk out and go to my room to change. When I come back to her room she is already under the covers. I brought my own comforter because Clary never shares. She thinks she does but you will wake up frozen in the middle of the night.
"Jon I can share my comforter." She says glaring at me.
"No you can't. Now move over." I get in and cover myself. The last time I slept here was when she decided to watch a SAW movie marathon with Simon. Needless to say I stayed the whole night holding her.
"Goodnight Jon." She kisses my forehead and gets comfortable.
"Goodnight Clare bear." I kiss the back of her head and hold her.
We are going to continue this talk tomorrow but one thing is for sure. Jace and Raphael will not be coming near my sister. I'll make sure the guys help me out with that.
No one will ever hurt you Clary. No one.
O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O
No one's P.O.V.
Izzy walks into her house while trying to hold onto all the shopping bags. Her brothers are nowhere in sight but she doesn't doubt that they will make an appearance sooner or later. She gets to her room and there's Jace waiting for her. Izzy rolls her eyes too tired to deal with him. She drops the bag on the floor and goes to get a change of clothes to take a quick shower.
"Am I invisible now?" Jace asks since his sister has been ignoring him.
"I don't want to talk to assholes that treat the first girl who has been nice to me since we moved here like shit." Izzy spat the words at Jace confirming his thoughts of her now knowing everything.
"I didn't mean to. I have just never gone out with a girl like Clary before." Jace said apologetically.
"Oh you mean a girl who isn't a huge slut!" She spat the words out with as much venom as she could.
"Izzy I made a mistake. I want to make it up to her. I want another chance. Please tell me what she said to you about me." He tried to embrace her but she slapped him away.
"I am not going to betray Clarys trust. So if you're here for help then you're screwed because you won't get any. So why don't you forget about Clary and go back to that tart Kaelie. She's just your type, more ass than class." Izzy walked out with those words and proceeded to the shower. Her brother was not going to get a second chance so easily.
Right now Jace is the person she hated most. He was going to ruin everything with Clary. Izzy loves him but he only uses girls not love them. She was going to make sure Clary didn't become one of them.
(Knock knock knock)
(Jace was at the bathroom door trying to talk to Izzy)
"Iz please don't be like that. I swear I didn't mean to act like that. Come on please talk to me." He was begging through the door.
"If I wanted to talk to an asshole like you, I would've farted!" Izzy yelled through the door.
"Well fuck. That was rude." Jace spoke to himself. He decided to leave and give Izzy time. She was definitely another minute away from bursting out of the bathroom and beating him purple with the blow dryer.
Jace decided to just walk away and try again tomorrow. Izzy just needed some time.
O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O

O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O
(Sunday Moring)
(6 am)
Jace woke up bright and early as usual. He showered shaved got dressed and went downstairs to eat a quick breakfast. He spent the next few hours working out and occasionally watching a little TV.
The sound of footsteps came down the stairs and to Jaces discomfort it was Alec. The two share an instant glare of hatred, loathing, jealousy and remorse. They both know this isn't the other ones fault, it's just a sick joke of the universe. Alec goes to the cupboards and pulls out a bowl. He begins making his favorite breakfast. Anything Izzy hasn't made.
He goes to sit down in the living room while Jace just drinks his orange juice in the kitchen. A few minutes later Izzy comes down stairs fully clothed with her hair and makeup done. She doesn't like to be caught off guard.
"Good you're both up. I need to talk you each separately." Izzy says as she goes to the kitchen.
Alec gets up and follows her. He puts the dishes away and they both stand away from each other but close to her.
"It's obvious of what we are going to talk about but why separately?" Jace finally breaks the tension.
"Unless you're perfectly comfortable with knowing what Alec did on his date or Alec knowing what you did then I suggest you stick with my plan." She glares at him with a look that says 'I know how badly you fucked up'.
"Fine, I guess I'll wait in my room." Jace took his juice and walked up stairs.
"I'm going out for a few hours Iz so I guess we will talk when I come back." Alec told her as she started getting weird ingredients for her breakfast.
"Where are you going?" Izzy stops mixing mayo into her batter.
"I just need to go out. I need to clear my head. I'll see you later." Alec gets his keys and walks out.
Izzy still standing in the kitchen says bye as he leaves. She's concerned with her brothers' actions but decides he needs space.
After her pancake breakfast fiasco Izzy goes upstairs to Jaces room. He was waiting for her on his bed. When she enters he just goes straight to the point.
"Ok so how badly did I mess things up with Clary?" Jace just wants to know how big of an effort he has to start putting in.
"First of all you sorry sack of shit how dare you take Clary to where you're slut works! And then proceed to try and kiss her to make her jealous! What is wrong with you?" Izzy goes from calm to totally freaking pissed.
"I fucked up I know Izzy I just handles it wrong. And for your information I had no clue she worked there. Now please tell me." Jace was now standing in front of her.
"Fine but just know that I can tell you everything since I promised Clary. (Jace was about to open his mouth) I will not betray her asshole so don't even try or ill never tell you a damn thing. (He closed his mouth and put his hands up in surrender) Ok you fucked up bad. She is beyond pissed and I'm worse since you're my brother and now Clary might never talk to me again!" She gives Jace a poisonous glare.
"She won't do that. I fucked up not you." Jace tries to calm her off.
"Well I don't know that." She looked like she wanted to cry but Izzy wouldn't allow herself that kind of weakness.
"Look, all I know is that she is considering giving you another chance. (Jaces eyes lit up) So if you actually like her then you better make damn well sure all this whoring around stops. No more Kaelie no more random sluts no more anything. And if you so much a try or think of even cheating on her I will shove my seven inch heels so far up your ass you will need a diving team to find it." The look on her face showed she wasn't kidding.
Jace gulped at her threat.
"I promise Iz I won't get near another girl. Is that all she said?" He wanted to ask more but he knew she would never tell.
"Oh yeah, She knows now you two are brothers and doesn't want to come between both of you. So yeah. Oh and by the way Alec isn't your only other competition. (Jace stiffened) Her ex is back in the picture. Maia and I told her he still wants her so there's him and there's another 10th grader who likes her and has already showed her how much. So out of the four guys who are after her you are obviously in last place since you screwed up." She delighted in saying that last part.
Jace thought for a moment about what he just heard. Not only was there two more guys but he was losing. HIM! Jace didn't like the blow to his ego at all. He has never needed to fight to get a girls attention this much before so the feeling was new. He had to come up with a way of making it up to her.
After a few more seconds of thought he thought it was better now. He would prove how much better he is by beating all the other guys. She would become more special. He would defeat the ex, the older guy and his brother. She is obviously a great girl if she has them drooling over her.
Izzy seeing his glazed look decided to leave him to his thought. Just as she was at the door she blurted out to him . . .
"Oh one more thing. Her birthday party is this coming Saturday and you and all the other guys will be invited. You won't really be allowed to close since she is telling her brother and he will more than likely have a wall of soccer players around her so yeah. Oh and she would really like it if you didn't pressure her since she now has to deal with all of you. So if you decide to back off she understands. Bye"
Jace stood frozen at Izzys words.
JON KNOWS. Fuck. Jordan warned him of what might happen and now he would find out first hand. But now he has a chance to make it up to her with a great gift at her party. Too bad Alec and the other guys will probably be there. Oh well, Jace knows none of them can measure up to him anyways.
Starting Monday he was going to put in motion a plan to win Clary. This is going to be fun.
Yes another cliff hanger. Sorry but I couldn't help it. But Izzy and Alec's convo will be a little longer. Plus it will also be Clary and Simon's day together. Besides they both have some things to discuss. So hopefully it will be up by tomorrow or Wednesday.
Let me know what you guys are thinking in the reviews.
