Hey everyone!
I know that I haven't updated, but I wanted to make this chapter longer and have more details. The last chapter wasn't very great so I wanted to make this one better to make up for the last one.
Without further ado, onto the chapter!
Clary POV: 8th Grade
"What do you mean I'm moving to California!" I said loudly as I stood up from my chair. Out of the corner of my eye I saw Jace and Jon stand up as well, and they didn't look happy.
" You can't just make her move! We're brother and sister, we have to be together!" Jon shouted.
" I'm sorry guys, but we both love you and I don't want to ever see my kids again. So, this was the only way because Jon has a real future with the football team here so we had to have Clary go with Dad. But I promise that you can visit anytime you want Clare Bear." My mom said.
" Don't you Clare Bear me! I can't believe I had no say in this! Ugh!" I ran upstairs into my room and slammed the door shut. I flopped down on my bed and screamed into my pillow. I heard a soft knocking on my door and wiped away the tear that went down my cheek. " Go away!"
There was another knock, " Clary? It's me." I slid off the bed and opened the door. In the doorway stood Jace. I opened the door wider and let him in. I closed the door and sat on the edge of my bed, and Jace sat next to me.
" You okay?"
" Jace, you know me better than anyone, so you know that I'm not ok. I'm being forced to move across the country to be with my dad, who seems like he doesn't even like me, and not see my brother or my mom."
" Or me."
" Yeah, I was trying not to think about that. How am I going to live a whole new life without my best friend? I'm gonna miss you so much." I told him. He reached out a wiped away the tears on my cheeks.
" How are you gonna live without my amazing good looks?" I cracked a smile and pushed his shoulder.
" There's that arrogance," He wrapped me in a tight hug and I'm pretty sure he couldn't breathe by how hard I was squeezing. " Hey," he whispered, "everything is going to be ok. Your mom said that you can visit and we can video chat and text. It's not like you'll never see me again."
I nodded and rubbed my eyes, " Yeah, maybe you're right."
At the airport...
" I'm gonna miss you Jonny." I said to Jon as we hugged, I was leaving in 5 minutes and it was incredibly hard to say goodbye.
" I'm gonna miss you too Clare Bear. Don't get in trouble. The last thing we need is getting a phone call from the police saying that you robbed a bank so that you could pay for stuff for your baby and that-"
" Ok ok! God Jon, what kind of person do you think I am?!" He chuckled and gave me one last hug. I already told my mom good bye, and it was 30 minute process. She felt the need to have an extremely long chat about notting getting into trouble and, since she wouldn't see me in a while, the 'being safe' talk. It was TORTURE.
I looked at Jace and pulled him into a tight hug. Jace and I had already talked, since I didn't want to burst into tears in the middle of the airport.
" Flight 47 to California is now boarding" a voice boomed through the airport.
I looked at Jace one more time and walked over to my dad. My dad gave me a small smile and grabbed my carry on bag. We started walking to the gate, but before we got too far I ran back to Jace. I gave him one last hug and whispered in his ear, " I love you,".
He smiled and kissed my cheek, " I love you to."
I turned back around and went to my dad. I was going to California.
To a new life.
Clary POV: Present time
" OMG! Clary I can't believe you're back!" Izzy squealed as she pulled me into a tight hug. " And you finally learned how to dress like a girl!"
" Wow, thanks Iz," she laughed and backed away as Simon hugged me. He let go and grabbed my shoulders.
" Never leave again. I had no one to watch marvel with and talk about comics to. It was torture!" I laughed.
" Really, is that all you like me for? I'm hurt." He chuckled and let me go, and I gave Alec and Sebastian a quick hug. Alec and I were never very close, even though I spent my entire childhood at his house with either Izzy or Jace, we just never talked much. I had met Sebastian right before I had left, so I didn't really know him.
I smiled and turned to Jace. He smiled back and pulled me into a hug.
" So, how did you live without my amazing good looks, Strawberry?" I rolled my eyes and pulled away.
" Well, at least I know that you didn't change Goldilocks." I heard Izzy mutter, "That's what you think" but I'm pretty sure that I'm the only one that heard her.
" Um, who's this" Simon asked as he looked at Magnus. He was kind of hard to miss.
He was wearing a sequined light blue shirt, tight shiny leather pants, a rainbow colored vest, red high top converse, a purple sparkly scarf, and his hair gelled up into spikes with, of course, glitter.
He came forward and bowed, " The Magnificent Magnus Bane at your service."
" I love the glitter!" Izzy said. Magnus squealed and gave her a quick hug.
" You are my new best friend!" I dramatically gasped.
" Magnus! I thought I was your best friend! Do these BFF infinity rings mean nothing to you?" He chuckled and gave me a side hug.
" Don't worry biscuit, you'll always be my favorite."
" Thanks Mags. And, just in case you guys are wondering, Magnus is gay."
" I prefer to be called a ' frewillling bisexual'" Everybody laughed, except for Alec who just blushed and looked away. I wonder what that was about...
" Ok, so, I think that we should go out and have fun to welcome back Clary and our new friend Magnus. I say we go to the movies!" Everyone agrees and I head upstairs to get ready. I enter my room and I'm astonished by what they did to my room.
It has green, blue and pick everywhere and even a really cool chair that hangs off of the ceiling. I lay my suitcase on the bed and open it.
" This room is so cool!" I jump and spin around to see Magnus sitting in the chair.
" Mags! What are you doing in here?"
" I needed somewhere to get changed. But seriously, this room really is cool, but it could use more glitter." I rolled my eyes and lead him into the bathroom so that I could get changed in privacy. I quickly looked through my suitcase and picked out an outfit.
I put on a pair of ripped black skinny jeans, a baseball tee, a flannel, and my white high top converse. I threw my hair up in a high ponytail and put on some chapstick. I was putting my phone in my bag when someone knocked on the door. I opened it to see Jace.
" Hey. Um...can I come in?"
" Sure." He stepped in and I closed the door.
" So, how was California?"
" It was amazing! It was always sunny and the beaches were amazing. I even learned to surf!"
" So I'm guessing that you didn't really think about us?" He asked a small note of hurt in his voice.
" Of course I thought about you guys. It was really hard to fit in at first. I was so used to having you, Izzy and Jon to hang out with at school that I kinda forgot how to actually make friends. If it wasn't for Magnus I would probably be a complete loner."
" Did you, you know...date anyone?"
" Um, yeah. I dated this guy, Nick, for 2 years. But, then he did something and we broke up. It was pretty hard, not having you there to threaten every single guy that talked to me." He chuckled and was about to say something else when Magnus opened the bathroom door and walked into the room.
" Well, that was the most boring conversation I had ever eavesdropped on. Can we go now?" I rolled my eyes and stood up.
" Yeah come on." Magnus headed downstairs and I was about to follow him when Jace grabbed my hand.
" Just so you know, I really did miss you." I grinned at him.
" I really missed you too." He smiled at me and let go of my hand.
" Hurry up lovebirds! We ain't got all day!" Izzy screamed from downstairs. I rolled my eyes and headed downstairs with Jace behind me.
I have a feeling that senior year is going to be the best year yet.
I really hoped that you guys like it! I gave you guys the Jace and Clary goodbye since some people asked for it.
Please remember to review!
Bye Bye Lovelies!
