This will be a fairly short chapter. I have to put more time into the party chapter that I am sure most you are looking forward to. I hope you all still enjoy this small chapter nonetheless. I would like to thanks the people who reviewed my previous chapter.
Thanks to: , Daire123 and bunnyboo65656.

While the girls are talking about the party plans and their clothes Jon listens carefully. It's usually not the thing he listens to but the moment he heard the words 'hot' 'short' and 'sexy' describing their outfits he nearly lost it. There was no way in hell he would be okay with Clary wearing something like that. He would make sure the dress had a little 'accident' before she wore something revealing. It was bad enough she had those four idiots after her he didn't want to worry about another fellow teammate. Jace was enough and he could tell the other guys had trouble looking away from his sister. He nearly killed Michael if it hadn't been for Clary. He was thankful at least he could count on Jordan and Magnus. Jordan would never cheat on Maia and Magnus would just hit on him than his sister so it was okay to have him around her.

Sadly before the girls could go into more detail he arrived at Takis and the girls got out of the car. Clary hung back to speak to him.

"We will be a while talking about some stuff so I'll call you when we are about to pay. Okay?" Clary asked her brother who for some reason was gripping the hell out of the steering wheel.

"Yeah no problem. I have some shopping for mom to do so ill be around." He leaned over and kissed the top of her head. "If you feel faint or funny in any way call me immediately." Jon told her seriously.

Clary just rolled her eyes and crossed her arms. "I promise. Don't worry, I won't be left alone for a second." Clary smiled at him and he relaxed marginally. Clary of course is the only person who can do that.

"Okay now hurry inside they are waiting for you." Jon said as she climbed out.

"Bye, love you." Clary said as she made her way into the restaurant.

"Love you too." Jon drove away to make it look like he was leaving. He knew there was no way in hell he would leave them alone. He parked the car around the corner and walked into the café across the street. He wouldn't be able to see inside but he would be able to see who went in and out and for now that was enough.

"No way in hell I'm leaving her side now." Jon said as he sat in a small table by the window.

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

"So what now?" Izzy asked Clary as they settled in to a booth.

"You are going to love this place. Everything on the menu is good." Maia said as the waitress handed them the menus and said she would be back in a minute to take their orders.

"Everything can't be good." Izzy said as she did a double take on the menu tittles. "What the hell."

"Oh yeah the menu is divided by themes. There's a little of everything: Bloody Mary's', Bloody punch, Roasted Garlic Crostini, Meat on Stakes, wolf platter, fairy dust cupcakes and so forth. Oh and yeah, everything on the menu is yummy." Clary told Izzy while practically drooling over thinking of the food.

Izzy laughs. "Really? Themed food?" she kept chuckling as the girls looked on a little peeved.

"Hey don't knock it till you try it." Maia said.

"Come on give the food a try. I'm sure you will love to sink your fangs into the vampire section." The girls laugh at Clarys corny joke.

"Okay I'm not that into vampires." Izzy said feign indignation. The girls looked over their menus and ordered their food. They had a pretty nice time talking about nothing in particular. Clary needed a distraction from her suddenly stressed out life. She feels really pressured recently and decided to put an end to her stressed life. She will be choosing a guy after her party. She has it narrowed down but she just wants to make sure. Besides even if she makes a mistake it's not like it's the end of the world.

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

After what seems like hours of talking Clary finally texts Jon to pick them up. He arrives in five minutes which doesn't really surprise Clary since he did say he would be close. When they all pile into the car they notice a distinct smell coming from Jon.

"Jon, why do you reek of coffee?" Clary asked her brother who didn't give a hint of emotion away.

"Because I bought some coffee while I ran my errands." Jon said nonchalantly.

"I get one cup but you smell like you took a bath in it."Maia said as she sniffed near him and quickly scrunched her nose.

"Okay I get it lay off the coffee can we please change the subject." Jon said getting irritated. The girls shrugged it off and continued their earlier conversation. Clary however knows her brother more than likely drank about 5 cups of coffee since his breath and clothes smell too strong to have come from one cup. She has her suspicions but decides to ignore it since he is stressed enough and she doesn't want any more dramatics.

When they finally arrived home Jon basically ran to the bathroom cursing under his breath for being so stupid. He knows Clary has suspicions and the fact that she didn't say a word has him worried. His sister may be sweet and forever the baby but she could act like Loki when she wanted to. (Loki- God of Lies and Mischief) Their dad had instilled a curious nature for the truth and any hidden little secrets. Plus it didn't help that their mother could catch any little 'tell' when they lied.

The girl's earlier conversation was still in his head and he wasn't going to let up on the subject of her attire. No matter how much he wanted to cover her up he had no choice but let her wear whatever she wanted at her party. Unless it was way too revealing then he would wrap her in a blanket if he has to.

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

Jonathon is in his room going over some last minute details with his guys. All except Jace though. It would be a cold day in hell before he ever trusted him again.

Jon- This Saturday is Clarys party and I have everything worked out. We all have shifts including me but excluding 'golden boy'. No one is to deviate from the schedule, I won't have her party ruined. Everyone will be able to enjoy the party and I will do most of the shifts since Clary has her friends but mostly Simon. So here are the rules.
No one is allowed upstairs.
No alcohol. (I know)
No one damage to the house or the stuff in it.
If someone sneaks alcohol DO NOT LET THEM DRIVE.
No Drama.
Stop any fights before they escalate.
Keep party crashers out. (Invitation only guests)

Magnus- Got it. No booze, boo.

Jordan- No problem

Other guys collectively- Yes, Got it, On it, Understood.

Jon- Thanks guys. Text me if you have any questions.

Jon turns his phone on silent and drops it on his nightstand and flops on his bed. He can't wait to have the party be over and for things to slow down. He has a feeling that Clary is going to pick a guy after her party but he can't be sure. Jon just hopes it isn't Jace or Raphael. If she picks one of them he is going straight to his dad consequences be damned. Clary cannot end up with a douche like them. Hell he would even welcome back Sebastian as long as it's not the others. He has no clue what kind of person Alec is but he is Jaces brother and he lives next door. The only things he has going for him are that Izzy is Clarys friend and apparently he has been behaving himself. Sebastian is the only one he can be okay with, he never thought he would ever think that but desperate times call for desperate measures.

Jon thinks back to those awful five months his sister was dating that idiot and wishes he could go back and not push them apart. If all he would have to deal with now is just Sebastian then all the more welcome. UGH!

He gets himself together and proceeds to go downstairs and unwind for a bit and then talk with his father.

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

Today was a so-so day. School could have gone better but overall can't complain. Only one and a half day left until my party. The girls seem to be more excited than me. Well then again they aren't under doctors orders to take it easy and have a dad who interprets it as 'no moving ever'.

Thankfully they will hang out with me mostly but I do hope to get Izzy and Simon to at least dance together once. These two are obviously attracted to each other but refuse to acknowledge it. I can't play match maker when I can't even decide. By the Angel Raziel his sucks. I hope by the time my party is over I can make a decision.

The other thing is that Jon was definitely lying to me. You do not smell like you bathed in 'ode de coffee parfum' from one cup. I hope he wasn't lying of where he was. I can't take this kind of crap from him. Oh Gods what if he was with Kaelie? I hope that is not the case. Why the hell would he ever think I would be okay with him being with someone like her? Please let me be wrong. Great now I won't sleep tonight.


There you go guys the chapter after this one will be the party chapter. Yes the much anticipated Chapter. I know this one is a bit short but let me explain.

My sis in laws 15 is coming up and I have been running like crazy taking care of last minute details.
I will also have family living with me and that won't allow for much writing time.
I also have my job to keep me busy.
The main party is almost here and I haven't even prepared the hair appointments or bought all of my party clothes. (Yes I know big no)

Sorry to do this but I have to deal with all of this first and get through the party and then focus more on the story. I will try and work on it more but it will take a while. Hang in there guys.
