I'm backkkkk hope you didn't miss me too much. So I got my GCSE results over the summer, I got 8 A's and 2 A* so I'm ecstatic about that, and I've just started my a levels which I'm really enjoying so that's great. Over the summer I read Lady Midnight and I am in love with it, Emma Carstairs and Julian Blackthorn are my new otp! If you guys have read the book yet what do you think of it? Anyway here's the chapter.
Clary POV
Well this was a morning greeting I wasn't expecting. To be honest I think I would prefer to have stayed in bed and slept but hey ho I'm up now I guess, stupid golden boy for coming round unannounced.
"Well hello there" I mumble
"Hi" he says
"Is there a reason you have turned up at my house at this god forsaken hour?"
"Clary its 1 in the afternoon"
"yes like I said this god forsaken hour"
"Not a morning person are you?"
"No she most definitely is not" Jon pipes in
"Fuck off Jon so why are you here?" I ask getting the conversation back on track and away from my morning moods
"well I am actually here on Izzy's behalf, she said to come and pick you up cus you have some kind of day planned but she didn't want to leave the house?"
"Oh shit yeah our hang out day is today, right give me a minute to get ready"
"kay red"
That earnt him a chance to witness the far from rare middle finger as I walked away leaving the boys to amuse themselves why I got ready
Jace Pov
I sit on the sofa getting comfortable to wait for Clary to get ready, from what I've experienced with Izzy this could be a long wait. Jon's looking at me weirdly, he looks constipated, almost as if he wants to say something but he's holding back and it's physically painful for him to do so.
"Jon you look constipated what's the matter?"
"I think we need to have a talk"
Oh shit
"About what?"
"I think you know what Jace, I need to know what your intentions are with my sister, I know that I can't stop my sister from doing anything and to be honest I'd be fearing for my life if I tried but it's still my job to protect her whether she likes it or not, so I need to know what your intentions are with her and whether I think you're going to hurt her"
"Well I seem to have grown extremely fond of Clary, I really like her you see and I would never intentionally hurt her. I don't know where things are going between us or if there will end up being an us but I do really hope there is, god knows I've tried to make something between us but Clary doesn't seem as interested in it or maybe not ready for it as I am which I respect and I won't push her into something she doesn't want, so I will wait it out in hope that she does finally say yes at some point. I don't expect anything from Clary and as I said before I won't force her into anything she doesn't want to do. But yeah I do really really like Clary and it's not just some play to get in her pants which is what I'm sure you think it is."
"Okay well you have satisfied me that you like her, and trust me she likes you too but Clary isn't like most girls as I'm sure you've found out, she's very guarded and she doesn't let her wall down for just anyone, however you are the first person I've seen aside from Simon that can make her wall crumble so I guess you have a chance, but let me remind you if I hear the slightest whisper that u have hurt Clary or have upset her in some way, I will come down on you with a wrath so huge you can't comprehend, I will make your life so hellish that you will wish you were dead and living with the seven kings of hell, I ruin you and everything you hold precious in life if you ever hurt her. Understood?"
"Perfectly" I said with what I'm sure is a terrified expression, I've come to be good friends with Jon but shit that guy is fucking terrifying when he wants to be like a world population of ducks turned into an army and all set on destroying just you terrifying.
Clary POV
I think this is the quickest I have ever got ready, 10 minutes I mean come on that is pretty fucking good for having a shower, getting dressed and doing hair, congratulations to me I think. I have just put on some skinny jeans and an oversize checked shirt and thrown my wet hair up into a messy bun, I didn't bother with make-up, that stuff takes time and I am already late, I do not want to keep Izzy waiting either, that girl is terrifying when she is kept waiting.
I ran down stairs grabbing my burgundy converse on the way. I skidded into the room where I'd left the boys, pulling on my shoes, only to be met with dead silence, Jace sitting there with an absolutely terrified expression whilst Jon sported a very smug grin.
"Jon what have you done to Jace, why is his annoying voice not coming out of his mouth?"
"I did absolutely nothing"
That earnt him a very sarcastic look that said we would be talking about this later
"Right come on golden boy, don't want to keep Iz waiting or that terrified look may become a terrified reality"
That seemed to shake him out of the trace he was in and we headed to the door calling a goodbye to Jon. We got into his car and I pulled up Instagram on my phone, scrolling through my feed for my daily dose of memes and sarcasm.
Jace glanced over at me and my phone just as I was uploading my latest picture let's just say it may have been something to do with long live pepe but yeah we won't dwell on that nope.
"Pepe? Seriously?"
"Yes seriously" I say throwing my hands up "I am a meme queen and you will not judge me for it"
"okay okay whatever you say your majesty of memes"
"thank you, you know what I quite like that title, I guess it's fitting too as I am also the queen of hell"
"Queen of hell?"
"Yep" I say popping the P "And Satan is my bitch"
"Damn"
"Too right"
We settled into a comfortably silence listening to the music that was playing in the car. Every once in a while Jace would poke me and I would scold him for not focusing on the road and how if I had wanted to die I would have gotten Jon to drive me instead of asking Iz to.
Finally we got to the mansion of a house that Iz, Jace and Alec live at and even though I'd been there multiple times, its grand size and beauty still shocked me. I stood just staring up at it before golden asshole made a witty remark about me just standing there.
We walked into the house only to be met with a very female shout of "I AM NOT SICK" followed by the world's biggest sneeze. I turned to Jace and he just let out a sigh "Welcome to sick Izzy"
With a deep breath I walked into the cinema room, where I could hear Izzy's shouts of protest coming from. I saw her lying in a mountain of blankets, throwing a box of tissues at Alec who was clearly trying to get her to take some medicine such a caring brother.
"Hey Iz I'm here"
Alec looked up sending me a relieved glance, thrusting the box of tissues and medicine at me. "Thank God you're here Clary, you can deal with her, I have to go"
"Plans with Magnus by any chance Alec?"
"Maybe"
"But Alec you were supposed to take me out to the mall today" Jace whined
"Sorry bro but I am not your bitch"
"Rude motherfucker"
"Language Jace in front of the sick" I piped in
"HEEEEEY I AM NOT SICK" Iz screeched slash coughed
"Yes Iz you are now take the bloody medicine, keep these stupid tissues and then we can get on with watching a shit ton of crappy movies inside which is the best place to be hands down"
"Fine I'll take the medicine but I am not sick"
"Whatever you say Iz"
Just at that moment Simon showed up, hands full of movies and snacks for us all
"Oh Si you do always know how to make an entrance" I said jumping up and grabbing the snacks and movies from him
"Well since Alec has ditched me for his glittery friend, I guess I shall have to join you guys so what's first on this movie marathon?"
"Breakfast Club"
"Oooo I love that movie" Iz croaked
Si got the movie started and we all got into our respective seats, Iz taking up almost all of the sofa under her mountain of blankets, Si just at the end of the sofa with Iz's feet resting on his lap, and me and Jace on the floor beneath them, guarding the snacks.
"Gosh this movie has the best sound track EVER" I sighed as the movie finished, with Judd Nelson doing his iconic fist pump to Simple Minds 'don't you forget about me'.
"All the 80's movies do" Si commented
"I so wish I was in the 80's, it's much better than the crap hole that we live in today." I said
"And me I mean the clothes were brilliant" Iz croaked from under a blanket fort she had somehow managed to create.
"I guess it was okay" Goldilocks said his cool façade not fooling any of us
"I call bullshit, you loved that I can see it in your eyes, I mean how could you not it's one of the best films ever" I exclaimed
"I wouldn't say it was the best ever but I guess I can admit it was good"
"I think that's the best we are going to get out of him Clare" Si sighed (A/N: haha Si sighed sorry that made me laugh, I know my humour is bad I apologise)
"Fine but we are going to convert you to the 80's whether you like it or not Goldilocks, bring on an 80's film marathon, next up Pretty in Pink"
What followed was a marathon of 80's film classics such as Fatal attraction, Ferris Bueller's day off, Sixteen candles, Footloose, Gremlins, Risky business and Say anything.
"OH MY GOD THOSE WERE SO FUCKING AMAZING, LIKE THEY ARE THE BEST MOVIES EVER MADE, THE 80'S WERE SENT FROM THE GODS, FROM THE ANGELS, IT'S BEYOND WORDS HOW GOOD THOSE MOVIES WERE, JACE YOU CAN'T EVEN DENY THE AMAZINGNESS OF THOSE MOVIES" I half screeched half shouted.
"Okay yeah they were pretty damn amazing I will admit"
"WE DID IT! WE EDUCATED ANOTHER PERSON ON THE GLORY OF THE 80'S!"
"Jesus red calm down"
"NO THIS IS AMAZING HISTORY HAS BEEN MADE" I sat with a grin stretching across my face
"The day Clary is not extremely over excited about anything to do with the 80's is the day we should kill her because it will be obvious an alien has invaded her body and is controlling her from inside her brain"
"Very graphic Si"
"Thank you it's my speciality"
"Clearly"
"So board games anyone?"
Absolutely what do you have here?"
"um Iz can you remember?"
"Uhh we have twister, cluedo, monopoly and cards against humanity"
"Well monopoly is out of the question that game lasts forever, and even though iz did have a sleep throughout some of the films we can't have her getting sicker from staying up too late"
"I am not sick and it's the morning anyway so I don't need to sleep"
"You are sick iz and wait if it's morning where's Alec?"
"Obviously having too much of a great time with Mags to come back"
Alec POV
It was about mid-morning when I got back to the house, it felt like I was doing the walk of shame even though I had changed since last night and it wasn't like I'd had a one night stand which seems to be one of the main factors in doing a walk of shame.
I'd slept over and Mag's house, our new found friendship starting to edge into something more. It was strange, I've never been close to anyone except my family and a relationship just seemed like something that would never happen for me, and yet Mags and his glitter filled craziness has weaved himself into my life so much so that I can't imagine it without him now.
As I opened the door, still buzzing from my revelation at the deepness of my feelings for Magnus, I was met by shouts which sounded far too much to do with a murder to be normal.
"You liar I know the murder weapon was the rope, I know it"
"Well you're lying about not having professor plum so who knows what the truth is now"
I walked into the room where the sounds were coming from to see a very intense game of Cluedo being played. Iz looked to be a bit better than when I left her which was a bonus although with the death glare she was giving Jace who knew how long it would be till there was an actual murder here and that is going to be one hell of a mess for me to clean up.
"Hello everyone, you guys seem to be having uhh fun"
"Heeey Alec did you have a nice time with Magnus" Jace said wiggling his eyebrows
"Yes I did in fact" I said smirking back at him "So what are we playing? And Iz how you feeling?"
"Cluedo, although Jace is most definitely cheating and I'm fine much better not that I was ill in the first place" she said giving me a pointed look
"Whatever you say Iz and how can you cheat at Cluedo?"
"Lies that's how and it's Iz whose cheating not me"
"I am not cheating you are"
"No you are"
"No you are"
"No you are"
"No you are"
"Children enough" I shouted over them, they may be 16 and 17 years old but they sure as hell don't act like it
"I as what seems to be the only adult in this room declare this game over, you will all reveal your cards as well as open the envelope and this he said she said will be over, am I clear"
"Yes alec" they all said in unison as Simon opened the envelope and they all put their cards down.
"Clary!"
"You sneaky little shit"
"Absolute cunt you fucking cheater"
I walked away to go and get changed with the distinct laughter of Clary and the other's profanities audible throughout the house.
Magnus POV
After Alec had left I went to have a shower. The shower has always been my contemplation area, something about the glittery blue tiles just relax me and help me really think about life. Altho today the only thing I can contemplate is Alec.
Alec
Alec
Alec. That boy really knows how to wiggle himself into someone's life.
All we did is hang out together, go see a movie, make out a little, sleep in the same bed. And yet he is all I can think about. Just the way his hair always flops in his eyes or the way he gets lost in his mind and then blushes when he realises he was staring at you. Or even just the baggy colourless jumpers that he lives in. God I just love him. WAIT WHAT DID I JUST THINK. DID I JUST DID I REALLY THINK THAT OH SHIT I HAVE TO CALL CLARY.
CLARY POV
Me and Iz were sitting in her room whilst the guys went and got us some food when my phone started ringing. I looked at the caller ID and it said it was Mags. We picked up and shouted hey down the phone.
"SHIT CLARY, IZ SOMETHINGS HAPPENED"
"What Mags are you okay what's happened"
"SOMETHING REALLY BAD BISCUIT SOMETHING REALLY REALLY BAD"
"What Mags what is it"
"I THINK I'M IN LOVE WITH ALEC"
