Hey guys!

I was overwhelmed by the positive review that I got last chapter. It means so much that you guys enjoy my stories!

Now, onto the chapter!

Clary POV: 4 Years Later

Saying that I changed a little over the years is an understatement.

Where I used to have frizzy carrot top hair, I now had fiery red waves. I finally filled out, so I actually had a chest, and thanks to all the running I had done, I was still slim. I grew a little over the years, not much, so I was now 5'3''.

I got rid of my braces and changed my style. I was pretty much a whole new person.

Right now, I'm walking through the airport with Magnus trying to find my family. I called my mom and told her that I was coming home for senior year, and that I was bringing a friend. She told me that her and Jon would be there to pick us up.

Finally, I saw my brother's white-blond hair and started walking towards them. He didn't notice me until I was in front of me. He smiled widely and gave me a hug.

" Clare bear! I missed you so much!" he said, letting go of me and actually looking at me. His eyes grew wide. " Damn, you grew."

I decided to wear high waist shorts, a black crop top that said ' me? sarcastic? never!', white pointed heels, and my BFF infinity ring that Magnus gave me when I first moved. I curled my hair into soft curls, did a natural smokey eye with winged liner and mascara, and some coral lipstick.

" What did you expect Jon? It's been four years."

" Yeah, I guess it's hard to think that you've grown up. To me you're still that oompa loompa that never went anywhere without her sketchbook."

" Hey!" I punched his arm and turned to my mom, and I was pulled into a tight hug.

" I missed you so much! Oh, I can't wait for you to see your room! Me and Jon redecorated it and I think that you're gonna love it! Also, it's nice to meet you Magnus"

" I can't wait to see it! But, can we get going, this suitcase is really heavy." Jon chuckled and grabbed my suitcase. We headed out of the airport and hopped into my mom's beaten up SUV.

The drive was pretty much just Magnus and I talking about how we met and my time in California. Pretty soon we arrived at the house. It looked the same as when I left, but there were more flowers out front. I guess when Dad left she really made the house more...girly. Poor Jon.

Jon and my mom told us to head in while they grabbed our bags. When I entered the lights were off.

" Mags, can you try to find a light switch?" I said, feeling the wall. Out of no where the lights flew on.

" Surprise!" I turned around and was met with all of my friends from before I left. Izzy, Alec, Maia, Jordan, Sebastian, and...

Jace.

I know that it's short, but I promise the next one will be longer.

Please review and let me know what you think!

Bye Bye Lovelies!
