Sometimes Change Is A Good Thing

A little bit of school drama

Recap:
I saw clary pick up her phone and when she looked at it her expression
turned into a frown.
"I'll be back soon". Clary said and rushed up from her seat and out of the cafeteria.
I looked at the others but they just shrugged.
I couldn't help but feel worried so I got up from my seat
and followed clary out of the cafeteria.

Clary's POV

When I walked down the corridor I looked behind me at least ten times,
afraid someone was following me.
I har nearly walked to the other side of the school when I saw them.
The familiar blond hair, so blond it's nearly white.
"Hello little sister". Sebastian said with a smirk.
"What do you want Sebastian". I said in a bored tone but I
immediately regretted it when I remembered who I was talking to.
"What did you say?" Sebastian asked as he and his little group walked closer to me.
"No..thi..ng". I stammered.
Sebastian just smiled an evil smile and I gulped,
afraid of what he would do to me.
Sebastian whispered something to the guy that was standing closest to him.
The guy walked up to me and I tried to back away but before I could
do that he punched me in the stomach and I dropped to my knees in pain.
Sebastian laughed and walked up to me and raised his hand
to slap me, but before he could someone shouted
"Stop!"

Jace's POV

When I saw clary fall to her knees I couldn't take it anymore.
So I stepped out from behind a couple of lockers
where I had been hiding and shouted,
"Stop!"
Everyone's eyes turned to me.
Suddenly I remembered who the blond guy was, it was Clara's brother,
Sebastian Morgenstern.
"Long time no see". Sebastian said to me with a smirk.
Sebastian had always been protective of Clary,
but I have never seen Sebastian hurt Clary in any way before.
"I could say it's nice to see you again, but then I would be lying". I say.
Sebastian just looks at me with those black eyes
and before I have time to react he slaps clary.
I can't just stand and watch anymore so I throw myself at Sebastian.
I punch Sebastian hard in the face but when I try to punch him a second time
Sebastian rolls us over and punches me in the face so hard I nearly see stars.
He punches me one more time before he let go
of me and runs away with his friends.
I let my head fall fall down on the floor and I close my eyes.
I can feel a hand against my cheek and a voice telling me to stay awake.
The voice gets more and more distant and after a while I black out.

Clary's POV

I let my hand fall from James cheek and I just sit there for
a while until I can hear people walking down the corridors.
I look up and I see Alec walking down the corridor,
laughing at something his friend said.
"Alec!" I call.
He looks at me and Jace and he's eyes widen.
Alec runs up to us with a couple of people following behind him.
"What happened?". Alec asks. "Is Jace okay?"
"He's fine he's just unconscious". I answer.
"Can somebody help me carry him?!" Alec calls out and a
dark haired guy walks up to us and he and Alec carries
Jace to the school nurse.

Jace's POV

When I open my eyes the only thing I see I strong light so I close them again.
"Jace, Jace are you awake?" A worried voice asks. Clary's voice I think.
"Yeah". I say and then I open my eyes again and after a while
I can finally see something else besides strong light.
"How are you feeling?" Clary asks as she walks up to the bed I'm lying in.
"I should be asking you that." I say.
She sits down on my bed and when she does she accidentally
places her hand on mine and she immediately take sit away like she burned herself.
I take back her hand and lace my fingers through hers.
"Why did he do that?" I ask and I try to look into her eyes but she looks away.
"I..I..". She stammers.
"Clary has this happened before?" I ask the tone in my voice
more serious than before.
"No...". She answers but I tell she is lying.
"Clary, where is Sebastian, with the principal?" I ask.
Clary just looks down at our hands and doesn't say anything.
"Clary?" I ask.
"He gone Jace". Clary mumbles.
" what?" I say nearly to shocked to speak.
"Jace...". Clary starts but I cut her off.
"Clary we need to tell them to look for him".
"No Jace, we can't". Clary say.
"Why?". I ask not understanding why I couldn't tell them to
look for the brother who is hitting his own sister.
"We can tell them to start looking for him Jace". Clary said with tears in her eyes.
"If he finds out he is going to go after me or worse, my mother".
"Then what are we supposed to do Clary? I can't just sit here and wait for him to come and hurt you again". I say.
"I can handle this". Clary says still trying not to cry.
I put my hand on her cheek and I look directly into her eyes.
"I'm just worried that something will happen to you".
For a while we just sit there and look each other.
Then I lean in and so does she and before it we kiss.
Her lips are soft against my and her hands in my hair feels so good.
Just as I'm about to pull her even closer the door opens and we quickly jump apart.
"Hey Izzy". I say when I see who walked into the room.
"I didn't anything?". Izzy asks and you can see it on her
that she knows she interrupted something.
"No..". Clary says and her face turns red.
"Anyway". Izzy says.
"Jace, Alec wanted to know if you were feeling good enough to drive him home".
"Yeah sure, I'm feeling much better now". I say.
"Clary do you want a ride to?".
Just as Clary is about to answer Izzy answers for her,
"I can drive her because she and I have a lot to talk about".
Clary blushes again and the she just say a quick goodbye
to me before she and Izzy are out of the door.

Clary's POV

"So...". Izzy says. "What happened between you and my blond brother".
"Nothing". I lie and I hope Izzy won't notice the blush on my cheeks.
"I don't think nothing happened. It looked like you were kissing when I walked in".
Izzy says.
"Wh...at...noooo". I say but I know that I'm an awful liar and
that Izzy will never believe me.
"You would look sooo cute together". Izzy squeals.
"Oh and you're shipname could be Clace".
I laugh at Izzy's silliness and loom out the window.
I can't stop thinking about Jaces lips against mine and his hands around my waist.
"Clary?". I hear Izzy ask.
"Oh, sorry Izzy I must have spaced out". I say.
"It's fine, we are outside your house by the way". Izzy says with a small laugh.
"Oh..ye..ah bye Izzy". I say and step out of the car.
When I walk into the house I open the door carefully, afraid that my dad
might be home and that he will have heard about what had happened
At school today.
But when I look around I see nobody except for my mom that is
standing in the kitchen and cooking dinner.
"Where's dad and Sebastian?" I ask.
"Valentine is working late tonight and I think you brother is at a friends house". She says and I can hear in her voice that she is happy that
we are finally getting a bit of time with out them in the house.
My dad is not only hitting me and she has more bruises than me but
she is better at covering it up than me, with foundation and a smile
that only I know is fake.
That evening we sit and talk about evening that actually
makes us happy, like painting.

Later that night when I sit in bed and look through my tumblr on my iPad
I hear something against the window.
I walk over to my window and open it and when I look down I see Jace
standing there with a few pebbles in his hand.
"That is so cliche Jace". I can't help but say.
He laughs and after a few seconds he says seriously,
"We need to talk".
So I quietly walk down the stairs and out of the door.
"Hey" I say when I walk up to Where Jace is standing with his hands in his pockets.
"Come on I now a place were we can talk". He says.
We don't talk to each other besides when Jace gives me his hoodie and tells me that I should learn how to dress warmer and I can't help but smile a little.
After a while we stop walking and I see we are
in the park I used to play in when I was little.
"Come on we can sit over there". Jace says and points to a bench not far away.
We just sit in silence for a while until Jace speaks up,
"Clary...I...I...". Jace says.
"You what?" I ask.
"I like you". He says and then he looks down at his lap.
I can't believe that someone like Jace would like me.
"I like you too Jace". I say and he looks up at me with a big smile.
"Really?" He asks.
"Really". I answer and I can't help but smile.
And then he does something that I didn't think he would do, he kisses me.
His lips are as soft as last time and it feels like my lips are tingling.
"Clary". He says after minutes of kissing".
"Will you be my girlfriend". I don't wait a minute before saying yes and then we're kissing again.
And a few minutes after that I'm just sitting there in his lap with his arms around me.
"Should we tell everybody about us?" I ask Jace.
" maybe we should wait a while so we can see where this is going" Jace answers.
"That sounds good". I agree.
On the way to my house Jace and I walk very close together and he has an arm
around my shoulders and I have mine around his waist.
He kisses me one last time before he lets me go in, but the note attached
to the door makes me regret ever going back to my house.
