This chapter is a bit full on. Prepare yourselfs.
Clary POV
It had been a week since the whipping incident. It was Thursday morning. Clary got dressed and ready for school. She looked at the scars that covered her back, old and new. She shrugged on a sweat shirt and pulled on a pair of jeans. She ran out of the house to her truck. She hadn't spoken to Jonathan and hadn't seen her father ever since the incident. She wished her mom was home.
Clary drove to school and arrived to school at the normal time. She wandered through the halls to her friends normal meeting place. As she pushed through the door, everyone was there, including Jace. He smiled when he saw Clary. She walked over to him and he pulled her into a long, strong hug.
When he finally pulled back he asked, "you alright, Angel?"
Clary smiled at him, "fine." She said.
"Good." He said, ruffling her hair.
Jace and Clary had grown much closer since the incident. They were almost always talking, texting and with each other. He wouldn't let her out of his sight. When Clary had explained what had happened and that it had been happening for a long time, he didn't look at her with pity, he understood. She had even shown him her scars, which he had kissed and said she was still beautiful.
"Hey!" Izzy, Simon, Emma and Jules called out as she walked out.
Emma was sitting on Jules lap, playing with a knife, which Jules eyed carefully. Izzy laying against Simons chest.
"Hey guys." Clary said sitting down with them, Jace next to her.
She heard the door open, she turned around to see Sebastian enter. Things where weird with her and Sebastian. They were in a relationship but it didn't feel like one. Sebastian came and sat down next to her and kissed her quickly on the lips.
"Hey guys. My friends having a party tomorrow night. I was think maybe you guys would want to come." Sebastian said.
"I'm in!" Izzy said almost instantly. Izzy had always been a party girl.
Simon sighed, "I'll go."
Emma and Jules agreed.
Clary looked at Jace who nodded, "I'll go." Jace said.
"I'll go then." Clary said.
Sebastian was the only one who didn't know about the whole whipping incident and she wanted to keep it that way.
Clary and Jace headed off to art together. Clary had finished her painting which was her assignment and Jace had also done a painting of a dragon. She was surprised by how much skill he had. So they just lounged around and sketched when they where bored.
"You sure about the party. We don't have to go. We can just stay and watch a movie at my place or something." Jace suggested as he perched on one of the stools.
"It's alright, I'll be fine. It's better than locking myself up. Even if it is with you." Clary joked.
Jace laughed, "all right, Angel."
The day went quickly, with Jace in every class.
Before Clary knew it, it was Friday afternoon. Izzy and Emma were at her house, where they all planned on getting ready together. Everyone was meeting at the party at 8, it was only 6.
"Come on, what's happening with you and Jace." Emma demanded, twirling a knife in her fingers.
"Nothing for the last time. We've just become really close friends." Clary said but it felt like a lie in her ears.
"Oh come on. Your telling us you don't notice the way he looks at you." Izzy said in disbelief.
"He doesn't look at me in any way." Clary said, but she was slightly curious.
"Oh sure! He looks at you with wide admiring, lovey eyes. He always cheers up when your there. He's always with you. I mean come on. And, Angel!" Emma said, putting the knife away.
"He doesn't." Clary said.
"He does. Fully." Izzy said matter-of-factly.
Clary sighed. Maybe they were right, and did I feel the same way? She thought.
"Let's get ready!" Izzy said clapping her hands, "clary first!"
She hulled Clary into the bathroom and sat her down on a stool in front of the mirror. Izzy brushed out her hair and tidied her curls, she pinned it up in a bun type of thing on the back of her head, with a few strands loose, falling into her eyes. She dusted some power on Clary and put some eyeliner and mascara on. She pulled Clary into her wardrobe.
"Hmmmmm." Izzy said, going through Clary's millions of racks of clothes and shoes, bras and panties.
"Here." Izzy said, shoving clothes into her hands.
Clary pulled on the black strapless bra, matching black panties and the dress. It was black at the top with black lace down to Clary's mid section then with a green frilly skirt that matched her eyes and reached her high thigh, matched with green high heels.
"Ta-da." Clary said, walking out of her wardrobe.
"Perfect!" Izzy said.
Izzy and Emma spent the rest of the time getting ready. In the end Izzy was in a tight red dress with matching heels and red lips. Emma was in black dress, that had a silver ribbon around the mid section, tied in a bow, with black heels.
"We look spectacular!" Izzy squealed.
"We better go if we want to meet with the guys." Emma said.
Clary followed the dodgy directions until the ended up in front of house that definitely looked like there was a party. There were flashing lights and blaring dance music coming from the house. They found Jules, Simon and Jace at the front of the house. Clary went straight for Jace.
"Hey, Angel." Jace said, hugging her quickly.
Clary quickly breathed in his scent before they headed in side. It immediately smelt of alcohol, smoke and sweating bodies. She stuck with Jace as they emerged into a large living room filled with dancing gyrating bodies. They headed for the kitchen where the drinks where. Jace grabbed a beer while Clary just grabbed a coke, not trusting the punch.
She followed Jace out the the backyard where there were moving dancing bodies but also people in the pool. Half naked people in the pool. She spotted Sebastian just as he was a metre away.
"Hey." He said coming up beside clary, "wanna dance?" He was slurring his words and was unsteady on his feet.
"Okay." She agreed. She turned to Jace, "go meet some girls. Have fun, Okay?"
Jace nodded, "okay." (AGAIN TFIOS! I'm killing myself here -.-)
She headed off with Sebatsian back into the house. She followed him into the the sea of dancing bodies. She moved the the music, Sebastian's up against her back, his hands on her hips as she danced. She music blared in her ears, thumping against her skull and body. Sebastian's hands where travelling her body. She didn't like it, it didn't feel right. She wanted it, just not with Sebatsian. She felt Sebastian grab her wrist and lead her away from the music.
"Where are we going?" Clary asked over the music.
"I want to show you something." Sebastian slurred, stumbling as he walked.
He lead her to a door. He opened it and led her inside, shutting it and locking it behind them. The room was empty except for a misplaced furniture, probably moved from the lounge room.
"Um...Sebastian?" Clary said wearily, turning around.
He stood there with a smirk on his face, he started walking towards Clary. She stepped back every time he came forward. She felt her back hit a wall.
"Sebastian?" She said again.
Sebastian pressed his body against hers, trapping her, "I know you want it." He whispered.
"No. I don't. Let me go." Clary said, struggling against his body, he had her hands pinned above her head with one of his hands.
Sebastian started kissing her neck, hard and running his free hands over her breast.
"Mmmmm, you have big tits for such a small girl." He said.
"Stop!" She said, struggling against him.
His hand continued down her body to the hem of her dress. He continued kissing her neck, slowly trailing up.
"Stop!" She shouted, tears springing her her eyes.
"I love it when they struggle." Sebastian moaned under his breath, pressing his body closer to hers.
His hand travelled under her dress, to the top of her panties.
He pressed his lips against hers, she turned her head away and screamed and shouted, "help! Help!"
"Shut up!" Sebastian growled, slapping her across the face, hard enough to make her head smash back into the wall.
She fell to the ground as the door burst open. Her vision was blurry but she could make out her golden hair saviours any day. He grabbed Sebastian and pushed him up against the wall, smashing his head against the wall. He punched him in the stomach, making Sebastian drop to the ground, where he kicked him unconscious.
"Touch, my Angel like that!" Jace growled.
Clary vision was getting worse, but noticed the growing crowd in the room. Jace raced over to her and picked her up bridal style, carrying her out of the crowed room. Clary could feel all the eyes on her and the whispers through the crowd, 'slut', 'two boyfriends', 'she brought it on herself'. Clary put her arms around Jace's neck and snuggled into his warm chest. He was breathing heavily, and had blood on him, not his own.
He carried her out of the house and down towards her truck. He grabbed the keys out of her small purse and unlocked it. He layed Clary into the back out it. Her body was going numb and she had a piercing headache.
"Angel, stay awake. Please stay awake. Stay awake for me. Please?" Jace said jumping into the drivers seat.
"I'll try." She tried to say, but the words didn't come out right.
Everything went black.
Jace POV
Jace drove faster than he ever has towards the hospital. When he had burst into the room he saw Sebastian slap her, her head smashing back into the wall behind her. Jace wasn't sure whether Clary knew but the back of her head was bleeding.
"Clary, Angel. You awake?" Jace said into the back of the car.
No answer.
"Angel. Angel!" He shouted.
No answer.
He stepped on the gas, flying through red light, past stop lights, avoiding collisions by centimetres. About 15 minutes later Jace screeched into the emergency parking at the hospital. He flung himself out, grabbing Clary, cradling her body as he burst through the front doors of the emergency area.
"I need a doctor! I need a doctor!" He shouted. He hadn't noticed till then that his cheeks where wet with tears.
2 nurses ran down the hallway with a wheelie bed, instructing him to put Clary down. He didn't want to, but he knew he had to. He set her down gently and ran as they quickly wheeled her through the hallways.
"What happened?" One of the nurses asked
"Her boyfriend slapped her and smashed her head on a wall. She-she's bleeding! Is she going to be okay?" Jace demanded, holding Clary's hand.
They went through a door and a nurse held him back, "this is as far as you can come. We will be out to let you know her condition."
"No! No! I need to be with her!" He shouted.
The door slammed in his face and locked shut. Jace sunk down onto his knees and sobbed quietly, praying Clary would be okay. He finaly picked himself up and made his way to the waiting room, where he got the nurses to call Clary's brother and friends. He sunk down onto a chair. He looked down at himself. He was wearing jeans that had blood on them-Sebastian's- and a dark blue shirt that had Clary's blood on it.
He sat there and waited and waited and waited. Eventually Izzy, Emma, Jules and Simon turned up, Izzy and Emma and absolutely hysterics and Simon and Jules in what seemed shock. Izzy ran around screaming at the nurses, Emma crying and screaming at anybody and anything that got in her way. Simon and Jules sat next to him, Simon had his head in his hands and Jules rubbing ferociously at his face, trying to hide, the tears.
Jace probably looked a mess. He had blood all over him, he'd been crying, which meant, bloodshot and red rimmed eyes. But he didn't care. He just sat there, and waited. Letting the silent tears fall. He wait 10 minutes, 20 minutes, half an hour, an hour, two hours. No news. He just had to wait.
And wait.
And wait.
And wait.
And wait.
Did you guys see that coming? I did! Cause I wrote it. Sorry for not posting earlier! But it's my birthday today so I'm happy and decided to :)
