TMI High [COMPLETED]

Chapter 4: Sleepover

Clary POV

I throw a bunch of clothes in a bag. Today I'm sleeping over at Isabelle's and she told me to bring a bunch of shirts, skirts, dresses, and shoes. Knowing Izzy for the week I have, that probably means makeovers.

Once I'm packed I shoulder the bag and climb down the stairs. "I'm leaving for the Lightwoods' place!" I yell to my dad.

"Have fun sweetie," he calls back not taking his eyes off his case files.

I drive to Isabelle's house and am greeted almost immediately by Isabelle and a small boy with brown hair and blue eyes. I assume he's Max, the ever so famous ten year old brother who I hear about at school and see all over Alec's, Jace's and Isabelle's Instagrams.

"Hey Clary! Did you bring your clothes?" She asks.

I pick up my huge suitcase and say, "What do you think Beauty Queen?" She squeals and runs over to help me with it and I hear Max mumble, "God help us all."

"Hey, watch it kid. I can still turn all your whites pink," Isabelle says with a playful glare. Max clenches his jaw shut and I laugh and rub his head.

"Let's go. Jace and Alec are distracted with some video game so we can sneak past unnoticed," Isabelle says. We walk in, but do not go unnoticed. Alec and Jace come out of the kitchen with a big bowl of popcorn and a few cans of Monster drinks.
"Oh hey Clary," they both say almost simultaneously.

Jace sees the huge suitcase and raises an eyebrow. "I thought you where only staying for one night? What's with the bag that could last a month?"

"Isabelle," I state simply as if that explains everything. Jace nods in understanding.

"At least let me help you so you don't break your backs," Jace says putting the drinks down. Izzy shrugs and starts up the stairs. Jace comes towards me and grabs the suitcase handle. Our hands brush as he takes it from me and we both blush.

Still blushing, I go up the stairs with Jace close behind. I go into Izzy's room and my eyes widen. "Oh god that's a lot of pink."

"I know, but what can I say? Now Jace, get out so Clary and I can start makeovers," Isabelle states with authority.

Jace leans against the door frame with his arms crossed and a smirk on his face. "Maybe I want to stay. As much as I hate to admit it, I need a makeover."

I blush while Izzy points at the door with a straight face saying, "Out."

He puts his hands up in surrender and walls away. Izzy closes and locks the door and opens my suitcase. "You've got some pretty cute stuff in here. Now let's get started."

We go through each other's clothes for about ten minutes before we have outfits for each other. I pull out a gold sleeveless top and tight black skirt for Izzy with 5 inch gold pumps with black detailing. For jewelery I give her a red ruby pendant, black jewel earings, and some gold bangles.

She hands me a green dress that reaches my mid thigh. Layers of tool make the skirt poofy but the bodice is form fitting. I also get black boot pumps with laces on the front and a silver charm bracelet. Around my neck is a jeweled necklace and matching earings are on my ears.

I do her hair and makeup first which results in a smokey eye with a little gold mixed in, dark red lips, and a light pink blush. I decide to do her hair in a half up half down halo braid. Once the braid is done I curl the ends leaving loose waves. Once I'm done, Izzy sits me in the chair.

I'm happy when my makeup ends less as severe as I did for Isabelle. All it is is a mix of pink and brown eyeshadow, light mascara, pink blush, and a bright red lipstick. We laugh about the hard time Izzy is having with my mane of curls and she eventually gets it in a ponytail with a bit of volume on top and uses a curling iron to tame my curls.

When we're done, I'm still a lot shorter than her. After taking a bunch of selfies and blowing up Instagram we head downstairs.

Alec and Jace are still in the living room, but instead of playing video games they're watching a movie. "Whatcha watching?" I ask. Jace turns his head toward me and his mouth flies open. I blush as he stares at me.

"The Avengers," Alec says still looking at the screen.

"Oh my god I love this movie," I state sitting down next to Jace. It's at the scene in Berlin when Loki goes back into his godly costume. "He looks like a ram in this scene. I can totally picture him going into a field filled with rams shouting, 'I AM YOUR KING!'"

We all laugh as Izzy sits in an armchair. Max, who is in the other armchair, shushes us then goes back to watching the movie. We all watch making the occasional joke and by the end of the movie I'm leaning on Jace almost asleep.

Red curls are scattered over my face. Earlier in the movie Jace took the ponytail out claiming to like my hair better down. As the credits come up, he brushes the curls out of of my face.

As Alec picks up a softly snoring Max, Izzy and I make our way upstairs to change out of the clothes. I pull off the dress and heels and slip on some light gray shorts and a green t shirt. I slide into my sleeping bag and fall asleep.

Soon after, the nightmares come. Nightmare from the Night. The Night that changed my life forever. That left me unable to trust anyone like I used to.

I wake with a start, my eyes wet with tears. The door starts to creak open and I try to wipe them away. Jace's head appears and he looks around until his eyes lands on me. "Hey, are you alright Clary?"

Instead of lying, I tell the truth and shake my head. He comes in all the way quietly closing the door behind him. Jace sits next to me on the sleeping bag and I lean into his chest crying softly. He runs his hand over my hair and whispers, "What's wrong Clary?"

I shake my head and say softly, "I want to tell you, I just can't yet. It all leads back to that secret."

He nods his head and we sit there for a while. After a little I start to drift off while inhaling a scent I can't put my finger on. I'm semi conscious of Jace laying me down and sitting by me until I'm too far gone to register anything.
