Hi!
I'm really excited about this story so I decided to update.
I really hope that you guys enjoy it!
Clary POV: Grade 8
" You know, Strawberry, you should be more nice to me." Jace said, sitting on the stool at the counter.
" Uh huh, sure," I said, rolling my eyes as I put the frozen pizza in the oven. Jace put a hand to his heart.
" I'm starting to think that you never listen to me Strawberry. I'm hurt." He started to pretend to wipe tears. I rolled my eyes once again.
" You're such a drama queen Goldilocks," I sat beside him and handed him a water bottle.
" You know you love me," he said, wiggling his eyebrows. I pushed his shoulder and walked over to the couch. I flopped ungracefully onto it and grabbed the remote. As I was flipping channels, Jace decided that since there wasn't any room on the couch that he would sit ON me. He shrugged and sat right on my stomach. He put his feet up on the ottoman, took the remote from me and once he put it to a show he liked, started watching tv.
I literally couldn't breathe. " Jace! Get your fat ass off of me!" He laughed as I attempted to push him off, but with no success. After watching me struggle for what felt like 10 minutes, he FINALLY got off of me. I picked up my legs so that he could sit and put them on his lap once he was on the couch. I looked at the tv to see what he had put on.
" Really Jace? SpongeBob? Are you six?" I grabbed the remote from him and put on Teen Wolf. (Anybody else in love with that show?) That was how we stayed until my parents came home. Laying on the couch, eating pizza, and watching reruns of Teen Wolf.
Now, we may not look like it, but we were the best of friends. If you just looked at us, you would never guess that we had been attached by the hip since we were 5. He looked like a greek god, since he was starting to fill out and had just gotten into working out.
I, on the other hand, looked like a leprechaun. Frizzy, bright red curls, swamp green eyes, an annoying dusting of freckles across my nose, and lets not even talk about my height. Or the lack of it. And for the cherry on top, I have braces.(I have nothing against braces, I just wanted Clary to have them) I had no idea why Jace decided to be my friend, but I'm glad. Its nice to talk to someone who knows everything about you and the other way around. But there's something that even he doesn't know.
I'm in love with him. I know that I'm young and some people will say that I don't know what love is, but I do, and I feel that way for Jace. I'm not the best at hiding it, so it's kind of crazy that he hasn't figured it out yet. Either he already knows and he decided not to talk about it, or he is completely oblivious. Even our friends know, which is kind of a bad thing since Izzy won't stop bugging me about it.
Back to the present time, we were in the middle of the 4th season when my parents walked through the door. I was pretty much a carbon copy of my mom, only she was taller and actually had curves. My brother, Johnathan, who was a year older than me, looked exactly like my dad, with hair so blond that it was almost white. The only way that you could tell that Jon and I were related was that we both had my mom's green eyes.
My parents and Jon walked through the door with their hands full of grocery bags. " Don't help," my mom said as she set the bags down on the counter. Me and Jace jumped up from our seats on the couch and helped put the stuff away. That's when I noticed it.
A giant tub of ice cream. My parents only bought ice cream when something bad happens. I picked it up out of the bag and looked at my mom.
" Why did you buy this?" Now, I know that most kids would be extremely happy if their parents bought ice cream. And I would be too, only that the last time they bought it they told me that they accidentally ran over my cat when they were backing out of the garage.
My mom's eyes widened and she looked to my dad. " Why don't you sit down. You too Jon and Jace," Jace was practically part of the family, he was over all the time, so whenever we had a ' family meeting' he was always there.
I sat down in the middle of Jace and Jon and waited. My dad decided to speak up.
" Well... um... how do I say this?" He looked at my mom and she sighed.
" Your father and I are getting a divorce."
I was pretty sure my jaw fell to the ground. Tear well up in my eyes and I looked to see that Jon's eyes were full of tears as well and Jace just looked sad.
" What?" Jon whispered. My parents shared a look.
" That's not it," my mom said, "there's something else."
" What else could there possibly be?" I said starting to get angry.
" Jon is going to stay here with me, and Clary... you are going with your dad to California."
DUN DUN DUUUUUN! Hehe I ended it with a cliffy. So that was the second chapter and I really hope that you guys liked it.
The next chapter is going to be 4 years later, so they're going to be in their senior year. It will start when Clary is waiting in the airport for her family to pick her up, and they notice that she has changed. A lot.
I really hope that you guys enjoyed it and please review so I know what you think! Until next time!
Bye Bye Lovelies!
