I wasn't going to let her go home upset, because I loved her with all my heart. Despite the situation, I laughed. I would definitely never had said that before I met her. I knocked on 's room, but nobody answered. I peered into the empty classroom to see Clary's binder with her name on. Fear hit me fast and hard. Where was she? I pulled out my phone and dialed her number. It rang for a couple of seconds, but then cut short, saying that this person could not be reached at the time. I then called her mom, desperate to hear Jocelyn say Clary was with her. She picked up on the second ring. "Hi Jace, how are you?" I quickly explained everything. Jocelyn was silently crying, and I could hear Luke in the background asking what was wrong. "I'll meet you at the police station". I heard her mutter "yes". I hung up and sprinted down the hall, and then outside to my car, where Alec and Isabelle were waiting. I jumped into the car where I urged them to go in. They both had confused looks on their faces, but then were replaced with anger and panic when I told them Clary was nowhere to be found. "So, her dad took her" Isabelle whispered. I nodded. We pulled into the police station at the same time Luke and Jocelyn did. I hugged Jocelyn and nodded at Luke and we continued into the building, where we would try everything to get Clary back./p

Of course, I wasn't allowed to have friends over, so my mom and I just baked a cake and played games. This was our tradition on either one of our birthday's, although my mom was allowed to see people at work. We were playing Monopoly, even though I didn't exactly know how to play. I just rolled the dice and moved my token around the board, collecting money as I went. We were having fun, for the first time in months, we were both smiling. But, that ended as soon as we heard a truck pull up in the driveway. We cleaned up the board game and cake as quickly as we could, and sat on the ratty couch, our hands entwined. Valentine walked in, swaying a bit to the left when he walked. He handed me his beer can. "Happy birthday, Clarissa" he snarled. I didn't say anything, I just set the can down on the table after he had left. For the next five years, he had done the same thing. Showed up drunk, and give me some kind of inappropriate present. Not anymore. My mom and I had escaped. But now.. /emI woke up to my head hitting the seat. I was groggy, and it took me a second to take in my surroundings. I remembered where I was, and pretended to be asleep. I caught a bit of and Valentine's conversation. "I had to throw her phone out the window, somebody had tried calling her". I recognized this as Valentine's voice. "Who"? inquired. "Jace". "Oh, Clary is dating him, or so it seems." "They are" a third voice pipped in. Unable to hide my shock, I opened my eyes to find Sebastian, sitting way to close to me. I protested and attempted to get farther away from him, but he grabbed my hand, pressing a kiss to it. "Nice to see you again" he said. I turned my attention away from him, but to the man in the passenger seat. "Valentine, why are you doing this and where are you taking me" I said, trying to keep the emotion out of my voice. "A place you and I both know and love. Also, Ive missed you, and since I'm probably now a wanted criminal in New York, I can't exactly show up to your door and ask to take you out to a reunion lunch." I glared at him. This man is the epitome of evil. I was so scared, but I wasn't going to let him know that. I just wanted to see Jace, my mom, Izzy, Simon, Luke, and Alec again. I would find a way out of here, even if it killed me. A plan began formulating in my mind."So, that place we both know and love, could that be our old house?" I questioned. "Smart girl" Valentine replied. gave him a look, probably because he knew well enough NOT to tell me his whole plan. He was also the brains of the operation, while Valentine and Sebastian were the brawn. I stared out the window, looking for a sign of where we were. Several hours later, we stopped at a gas station. Sebastian untied me and we entered the store. I went into the bathroom, while Sebastian stood watch. I went to the bathroom, washed my hands, and then put my game face on. I would distract Sebastian while getting the phone in his back pocket. I had seen him enter it several times in the car. It was 9-0-1-2. I faked sobbed, while walking out of the bathroom, which was enough to catch his attention. He pulled me into one of the aisles. "Whats wrong?" he asked, seeming concerned. "Before Valentine took me, I got into a huge fight with Jace, we broke up." "Why?" "Well, let's just say I loved someone else.." I said while putting my hand in his. I felt so disgusting doing this. Ugh. But it had to be done if I would ever get out of here. A sly smile appeared on his lips before leaning down. I kissed him, while slipping my hand into his pocket to get his phone. Unfortunately, I had my dad to thank for this skill. When Valentine passed out drunk, I would retrieve the TV remote from underneath him, without waking him up. Once I slipped his phone back into my pocket, I broke off the kiss. I walked away, giving him a wink as I turned the corner, only to sprint into the bathroom. and Valentine were out filling the truck with gas. I unlocked Sebastian's phone and called the only number I could remember, Jace's. "Hello?" I sobbed in relief to Jace's voice. "Jace, it's me. I don't have much time." "Clary?" "Yes, yes it's me. Valentine is taking me to our old house in Texas." Then I told him the license plate of the truck Valentine was driving. "Okay, I got it. I'm so sorry about what happened Clary, I love you, Red"? Our conversation was interrupted by the door knob jiggling, and Sebastian shouting. "Jace, I have to go, I love you too" I replied. Sebastian burst into the room and took the phone, while Jace was screaming frantically on the other line. "I trusted you" Sebastian said furiously. He hung up on Jace and dragged me outside into the car. Sebastian filled his "teammates" in on the situation, and then we were on the road again. Valentine was screaming at me, telling me how worthless I was. But that didn't matter, Jace would come through, like he always did./p
