Thanks for the reviews! I really appreciate them! They make my day/night/whatever.

Hearts With Love: You'll find out in the later chapters why Jem is important to Cecily in a way. Thank you so much, your stories are even better.

Depthsofthemind: omg it did that to me too. I was about to delete this story from frustration. Thanks so much, I'm so happy you didn't mind them being OOC.

The Iron Sister: Thanks so much, I wanted them to keep in character, but I needed them to be OOC. I hope Cassandra doesn't mind XD. Thanks so much, there is seriously like hardly enough stories about the other couples. Just Jessa/Wessa. I hate panckaes XD I don't mind rambling, I love it when my reviewers talk to me. Thanks! I'm so happy you like my writing style - I didn't even know I had one! I can't wait to see your reviews! I'm gonna write as you eat Nutella. P.S I don't also like Nutella. :P

Cecily was sick of Gabriel telling her to keep up every time she fell one step behind him. She also hated him calling her by her last name. She was starting to thin he didn't even know her first name. "You know," she began, "just because your Mr. Popular of the school doesn't make you cool when you call me by my last name unless you don't even know my name.

"I know your name," he stated, continuing to walk, "and you should know how to keep up."

Mentally cursing Gabriel, she fell into pace beside him. "Really? What's my name then?" she challenged, not quite believing him.

"Cecily," he replied. He was looking at her from the corner of his eyes. Cecily, not sure what to say, stayed silent. Gabriel didn't seem to mind because he resumed looking forward. After a minute, he asked, "Why do you want to snitch about Will so bad to Jem? He's your brother."

She was surprised by his question, but composed herself. "Why are you defending Will? Why are even hanging around him? You hate Will," she reminded him.

"I didn't defend Will, I was just asking. The answer to your second question is because I owe him." he explained. That made Cecily stop in her tracks. After a few steps, he noticed Cecily had stopped. He paused and turned to her. "C'mon, Herondale, keep walking."

"You owe my brother?" she said surprised. She still didn't move. "Are you sure you don't mean blackmailing?"

"I'm not an idiot Cecily," Gabriel told her, raising an eyebrow. It was the first time he called her by her first name.

"You could have fooled me," she muttered under her breath and continued walking. "So what did my brother do that made you owe?"

"None of your business," he told her, coldly.

"Whatever." They walked in silence for the rest of the way until they reached Cecily's building. She turned to Gabriel awkwardly. "Um..bye."

He shook his head. "Will told me to escort you to the door of your apartment," he told her.

"Do you really have to?"

"Yes."

"Fine, but who uses words like escort these days?"

"Lots of people."

"When they're flirting," Cecily told him as they entered the building. She went to elevator and pressed the button.

"How do you know I'm not flirting?" he teased. Cecily blushed and hoped he couldn't see her face in the dim light of the building.

She responded, "Because you're not or maybe you're just bad at flirting."

"I am very good at flirting."

"I forgot. You've dated how many sluts and bitches?"

Gabriel glared. "Some of them were decent."

"Some," Cecily repeated with a smirk as the elevator's doors opened. She stepped inside and Gabriel followed. The elevators closed.

"Which floor?" Gabriel questioned.

"Fifth." He nodded and pressed the button. The elevator lurched forward.

"What about you? How many guys have you dated?" he inquired.

Cecily looked away. "None," she muttered.

"I see," Gabriel just replied. "So are you gonna tell Jem about Will and Tessa?"

"Of course."

"Why?"

She looked at him like he's stupid. "Because it's the right thing to do," she told him.

"You can never tell what's wrong or right when it comes to love. It mixes them up," he countered back, wisely.

"The Shakespeare of our generation," Cecily commented sarcastically, "anyway I think you're talking about alcohol, not love. Plus, I'm not in love. I know the right from wrong."

"Love doesn't have to be towards a crush or lover," Gabriel told her. She stayed silent, sinking in the words. The elevator stopped and the doors opened. Mentally sighing in relief, she walked out of the elevator with Gabriel on her heels. She turned to the door of her apartment. She was aware that Gabriel was staring at her as she searched her pockets for the key.

Realization hit her like cold water on the face. "Fuck," she hissed, "Will has the key."

Gabriel spoke up. "Where's the extra key?"

"Inside," Cecily muttered banging her head on the door. "This can't get any worse."

Ping!

Gabriel pulled out his phone and checked his text message. He frowned as he read and muttered, "Shit. You had to jinx it."

She realized he was talking to her. She turned and demanded, "What? What's wrong now?"

"Will is staying over at Tessa's place," he responded, still staring at the text.

"Oh great. Jem should totally visit Tessa now," she said sarcastically before she kicked her door. "This night is the worst. Where the fuck should I asleep now, William? Fuck you and your stupid girlfriend." She kept on kicking the door.

Arms wrapped her waist as they pulled her away from the door. "Cecily," Gabriel whispered into her ear, "enough you'll wake the neighbors." She felt tears burn her eyes. Will should be comforting her, not Gabriel.

"I don't care," she snapped, letting the tears fall, "my life is feeling crappy today."

"Just because it's a bad day doesn't mean it's a bad life."

"Enough with those crappy quotes," she told him, "they're not helping."

Gabriel sighed and let go of her waist. She thought he was leaving until he grabbed her shoulders and turned her around. "Look, Will told me to let you sleep at my place until he can come and pick you up, okay?"

Cecily felt exhausted and she wanted to decline Gabriel's offer, but she was not looking forward to resting her head on the pavement tonight. "Okay," she agreed.

"Here," Gabriel said, throwing her a large football shirt and some pajama pants. Cecily caught them with ease. Gabriel headed towards his bathroom. "I'm gonna use the bathroom. You can change while I'm inside," he said before entering the bathroom. Cecily hesitated before taking off her shirt and wearing Gabriel's. It could be a dress because it reached the middle of her thighs. She quickly took off her pants and replaced them with Gabriel's.

As she folded her clothes, Gabriel walked out of the bathroom. He was still wearing his jean pants, but he was shirtless. Cecily felt she couldn't breathe before she turned away and put her clothes on his desk. With her back still to Gabriel, she asked, "Where will I sleep?"

"In my bed," he replied.

"Where will you sleep?"

"In my bed," he repeated. His answer made Cecily freeze. She going to be sleeping with her brother's enemy on the night of her worst life.

Well, if you exist Aphrodite, screw you. This is not sexy.

"Okay," she finally choked out before she turned to Gabriel. He was already on the bed and still shirtless. She had hoped he'd wear a shirt, but obviously not.

Taking a deep breath, she walked over to the bed. Gabriel moved a bit to give her space and she slipped under the covers. Girls at her school would kill to see Gabriel shirtless, but Cecily didn't want that. It didn't feel right. This was Will's nemesis.

"Are you comfortable?" Gabriel's question cut through her thoughts.

"Yeah," she lied. Gabriel must haven't believed her because he put his arm around her shoulders and pulled her close. It was comfortable, but awkward. Well, not for Gabriel because he seemed relaxed and was already closing his eyes.

This is gonna be a long night.

I hope you enjoyed this chapter! Sorry that it was short, but I couldn't sleep and felt like writing, so here it is! There will be more fluff in the next chapter. Tell me your thoughts in the reviews!

Byee XOXO
