Dot asked Clary to go to upstairs . I guess Jocelyn's there waiting for her beloved Daughter. "So i heard that my niece just got into Brooklyn Academy of Arts." Dot said while looking at me. "Wow. You must be really proud." I said to her while smiling.
She smiled and hugged me. I hugged her back. "I'm so proud of you." She said while still hugging me. " Thanks, Aunt Dot." I said. We released the hug and smiled at each other.
" If your parents were here right now, they will be so proud of you. Just as how proud I am of you." She said while caressing my hair. I started tearing up. " I miss them so much." I said and started crying. She hugged me and caressed my hair trying to comfort me. " shh shh shh... i know you do and i miss them too." She said to me trying to calm but deep down I know that she is sad.
We released from the hug. I held her hands. " Thank you." I said. "For what, sweetie?" She asked me. "For... everything. You... are the source to my happiness and i would be damned if you ever left me alone in this world." I said to her. She smiled at me.
"I want to give you something."she said and went behind the counter and took something out from a cabinet. I forgot to tell you guys that Clary's apartment is also an antique shop. Her apartment is upstairs and downstairs is the antique shop. Cool right? She put a wooden brown box on the counter and opened it. She carried the box and walked over to me. "Here" she said and handed me the box. " What's this?" I asked her and took the box from her hands. I looked inside and gasped. It was beautiful. In the box there was a golden ring with a purple gem on top of it.

"It's beautiful. Where did you get it?" I asked her. " It's actually your mothers." She said. I stopped looking at the ring and looked at Dot. "It is?" I asked her and she nodded her head.
"She asked me to give it to you on your 18th birthday. She thought you might like it." She said. I took the ring and wore it on my index finger.( you can change the placement of the ring if you want to) " I don't like it. I love it." I said and hugged her.
"How many times have i hugged you?"i asked. "Many times." She said and we started laughing. We released each other from the hug as soon as we heard someone opened the door.
"Hey, Dot" I turned around and i saw Luke. "Hey, Luke. Jocelyn's at the back with Clary." Aunt Dot said. "Hey there, kiddo." He said. " Hi Luke and for the last time. I'm not a kid! I'm 18 already for gods sake!" I said.
I looked at what he was holding. Spray paints. "Are those for Clary?" I asked him. "Uhh yeah. They are." He said. "I'll help you carry them." I said and took the box of spray paint from his hand and started walking to the back with Luke following behind.
