As I woke up I saw a book carelessly tossed onto the floor. 'A Tale of Two Cities'. Wondering where it came from I got up, rarther gingerly as my stomack still hurt from my Mothers kick. Slowly swinging my legs off the bed, I looked around the room clutching my hurt stomach.
Jace. Frowning slightly, I wondered why he was still in my room and yet the thing I thought about most was why he was reading a classic book, he stricked me as the sort to not read. it didn't actualy surprise me that he stayed realy, I was just curious at why he'd stop. I noticed whilst lost in thought that my head was a bit foggy and then came the headache.
I collapsed onto the bed, groaning loudly. Goldies eyes snapped open, and he stumbled off the chair tripping in his haste.
'Clary? Darlin? Whats wrong?' he was panicking his hand on my forehead cheking for the temperature he wouldn't find.
'I-I-ive got a head ache. that's all, I promise!' I Cried whilst Holding my forehead with the hand not supporting my middle. My stomach growled, like a starved animal. Which it is.
'When did you last eat?' his eyes shone with unshed tears. 'I'm getting you something to eat.'
'Ja-'
'No arguments Darlin'' With that he left the room. I suddenly felt weak and cold like the warmth had be sapped out of the room when he left. I realised I didn't notice, diddnt mind when he called me darling. I actualy liked it.
A few minutes later I heard laughter. I recognised one voice, Jace and the other was the one who shouted the day earlier. As Jace walked into my room, empty handed, I asked, 'Who was that?'
'Who? Robert? the one I was just talkin' to?' I nodded. 'He's a nice person really. In his own way.'
'Okay.' I said. 'Food?'
'Yeah, it's almost lunch so Maryse said to take ya' into the main room to eat with the rest of us in a few minutes!' He came over to me laughing.
We talked about his life. Yet when he asked about my life, I could feel my expression instantly darken.
'I won't Judge ya' Clary. Ya' do know that right?' he looked at my expression.
'I know you won't judge me. But I don't know if I can trust you. I'm sorry!' I saw his expression fall, sad at what I had said.
'Well ill just have to try harder then! Wont I?' at his lightning expression, I could tell he had a plan he was going to force me into it. Even if I liked it or not. 'Tonight, me, Izzy, Alec and Magnus, are going to go to Pandemonium again. An' you're comin' and you cant say no!' He was grinning again, so happy if I said no it would be like kicking a puppy!
Then I realized who was coming.
'Magnus you say?' My expression turned into panic.
'Yeah. Magnus Bane. Ya' know 'im? I mean I know he's rich but I didn't think he was special enough to be known by you mother!'
'Me and Magnus don't hate or like each other, its really complicated.' I sighed. it was going to be a long day. A long night.
There was silence.
'Izzy, Alec, Magnus and I.' I corrected his earlier mistake to easy the tension.
'What?'
'you said, 'Me, Izzy, Alec and Magnus'. It's 'Izzy, Alec, Magnus and I.' I smiled sheepishly.
Before he could say anything Maryse called us to lunch.
Alec was there. How wonderful.
