Behind The Shower Curtain

Clubs

DISCLAIMER: I OWN NOTHING

VALENTINE POV

"Whatever you have to say....don't. I don't want to hear it." I go to close the door, but she puts her foot in and forces her way inside.

"No...." She walks in and takes her scarf and her layers off. She hangs them on the nearby coat hanger and spins on her heel to look at me. She had a white cashmere sweater with white jeans and black boots. She still had on the necklace I gave her when we were dating. It was a small simple heart that opened and said 'No matter what'. It was a promise we made to each other. That no matter what we would always be together. No matter what, we would have each others backs."Valentine" She says, frustration coating her voice. "I am so tired of this." She finally says, her voice had fallen from one of frustration to desperation. "Ever since Jonathan died all we've been doing is blaming each other and making Clary bounce around." She sits down on the white sofa I have near the main stairs. "She doesn't need this....this constant fighting...." She turns to look into my eyes.

       "Jocelyn...We've tried everything....It just doesn't work with us."

       "But it was going so well...." She responds immediately.

       "Up until yesterday...." She has a son... she had a son without telling me.

      "Val, can you at least let me explain before you make up your mind?" Jocelyn pleads.

JOCELYN POV

      Valentine looked at me, unsure of what to tell me. I know I hurt him. I knew it was going to hurt him from the second I saw the positive in the pregnancy test. "Fine." He finally replies.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

"Oh Jocelyn! Will you shut up about him?!" Anna begs. She grabs a new bottle of vodka from behind the counter and swigs it. "He doesn't love you anymore....so just let go..now you can actually live!" She passes me the bottle so I can drink from it too. I just didn't feel like it. Anna was one of my best friends. We met through working at the club. She was the only worker that showed me any sense of kindness. She's been on and off with one of the club owners, Liam Grayson. He was the only one that wasn't a total asshole. He actually seemed to care about how we were treated.

"I don't blame him for being upset Anna..." Anna rolls her eyes at me. She had dyed her hair blonde, and it came down in waves. She was beautiful, and tonight wasn't any different. She had a loose dress tank. I gave it to her for her 21st birthday last year. It's silver and made with sequinces so it would capture the light of the club and make her shimmer. Just like how her personality makes her stand out. "I would be upset too if I found out he was showing off his body to other women.." Anna stares into my eyes, she suddenly bursts out laughing.

"What?" I ask her. She bends over laughing. She then straightens up, trying to control her laughter.

"Nothing....Nothing...I just-" She giggles a little and then tries her best to hold in her laughter. "When you said that I couldn't help but picture Valentine in a silver thong with fish nets and gogo boots dancing on the pole..." I roll my eyes at her as her giggles float out of her mouth. I take a big swig of the vodka hold my face to look at Anna.

"You're really immature you know that?" I ask her. She lifts her eyebrows, in a fake shocked way as she takes another swig.

As the night continued, Anna and I kept laughing and drinking. The music kept getting louder and so we hit the dance floor and started dancing to the music. As I jumped around the club with Anna, I suddenly get flipped around. "Jocelyn?" It was Mike...I remember Anna told me she overheard him talking about how much he liked me. "Shouldn't you be withValentine? I thought he told you he didn't want you at the club?" I kept dancing, ignoring the words coming out of his mouth.

"We broke up,"I yell over the music.

"What?" He asks in shock.

"I SAID" I yell. I go to step closer to Michael so he can hear me better but instead end up tripping. I try to catch myself with his shoulders, bringing my face inches away from him. Nothing was really going through my head, it must have been the alcohol or something. "We broke up," I mumble. Before he could respond, I swing my arms around his neck and give him a kiss.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

"I found out a few weeks later....that I was pregnant... and I wanted to get rid of it.....but Michael said he would tell you...and we just got back together....so I hid it..." Valentine sighs in defeat. I know I tricked him...he didn't deserve that. He ran his fingers through his hair, exhaustedly.

"Alessandro Bianchi is supposed to come visit New York for a year...." Valentine says. "He's supposed to teach Clary discipline and work closer with the company so...Clary won't really be able to stay for long periods of time with you...." He finishes. "But, she can visit you whenever she'd like....are we done now?"

CLARY POV

As school got out, I rushed to the front of the school, hoping to spot Rebel or Andrew so they could help me find Jason. However, when I got to the front of the school, I saw Lin. He walked up to me with a big smile. "Hey Stranger," He says with a laugh. He scoops me up with one arm and hugs me. I look up at him confused, he leads me to his car, his arm still wrapped around my back.

"What are you doing here?" I ask him.

"We kinda need to talk."

??? POV

I saw her get into the car with him. The second I saw him on school grounds I knew I chose the right target. The worst part is that I realized....He....was driving. I couldn't help but try to reach for my gun.

all in good time....

My hand retreated from its grip.
