R and R!
Clary's POV
As I climbed out of Jace's car my thoughts were running. I could not let him halt his dreams just because of me. That is not an option. I don't care what he says. He does care and he loves his band with a passion. He even moved to the Lightwoods' to make sure he could go to Jon's school senior year.
But if he was living with the Lightwoods then what house did we go to?! I would have to as him that the next time I saw him. For now, I needed to be concerned on what was about to happen when I stepped into that house.
I hesitantly opened the door and I tried to peer inside to see if anyone was home. Upon not seeing anyone in my vision, I pushed the door open the rest of the way and attempted to sprint into the house. Unfortunately because I had just barley cracked the door open, I hadn't seen the other half of the room, which just so happened to have a visibly angry Valentine.
As I ran by he grabbed me by the hair and sent me flying into the wall with a scream of pain ripping from my chest. He stalked towards me livid and screaming. "WHERE THE FUCK HAVE YOU BEEN YOU LITTLE BITCH?! YOUR BROTHER CAME HOME WITHOUT YOU HOURS AGO!"
He then rained punches down on my face. I quickly curled up into a fetal position to best protect my torso from his continued kicks to my stomach.
"WHY DID HE HAVE A BRUISE ON HIS FACE YOU LITTLE PIECE OF SHIT?! WHAT DID YOU DO?! WHO DID YOU TELL?! HUH?! CAN'T SAY ANYTHING YOU WEAK BITCH! YOU'RE JUST LIKE YOUR MOM! CAN'T HANDLE ANYTHING!"
At this he punched me in the face hard enough to knock me into black.
Jon's POV
When I came home without Clary my father was livid that morning he had told me to specifically to bring her home with me because he wanted to talk to her. After this he rained punches down onto my stomach. It had been a while since he had actually harmed me. He didn't want anyone to see the bruises at any of my concerts.
Valentine must have forgot about the Demon Brothers' concert that weekend. Although he wasn't quite sure how that was going to go with Jace. I had known that Jace would find out eventually I just thought that Clary would have kept it to herself longer than she did.
In fact, I was quite sure that Clary hadn't told Jace because we had beat her nearly to death last time we found out someone knew. So how did Jace know? I wasn't quite sure but I would have to prove to him that I didn't want to do this to Clary.
I would have to do it before the concert to prove it. Or, I could quit the band to prove that to him. That I knew that he loved the band and would do anything for them.
I will talk to Jace and the band tomorrow. No matter what
Jace's POV
After I dropped Clary off at her home I was hesitant to leave her with her brother. I didn't know if he would take it out on her that I knew. I never would have thought that he would have been capable of something like this. I never thought that my best friend since we were little and that knew my story would do this.
I didn't know the extent of Clary's injuries nor the extent of her father's knowledge. I would hope that Valentine didn't know about this.
I don't know what I will do about the band honestly. Maybe I will go solo and get my own band. I could start one with my cousins- Will and Jem. Maybe Will's girlfriend Tessa could come play guitar for us- she was fantastic!
The idea of being able to still chase my dreams gave me hope. Hope that I could get everything that I still wanted out of life.
A/N
Yes I know this one is short but right now I am working on the next chapter and it will be up soon.
Now that it is summer I'm going to try to post more often. I just wanted to give a little insight into Jace's and Jon's minds.
The next chapter should be up by Monday or Tuesday!
Thanks!
