Unfortunate Arrangements

The Start of a Nightmare

Ok guys so I am putting this up from my fan fiction I just wanna let you know my writing sucks for a big chunk of it but I have since taken some creative writing lessons so hopefully I have gotten better! I don't TMI! Enjoy please let me know what you think!!

I was on my way to dinner with my family, that is how this horrible day started. It was just supposed to be a nice little get together. Boy was I wrong. This is where my story begins, fresh out of college trying to open my own art gallery...

"Mom i'm home" I yelled as i walked into the house, throwing my keys into the glass bowl in foyer.

"Oh Clary its so good to see you how are you sweetheart? Come sit you are a bit late, but that is ok." She said as she gave me a hug she looked a bit frazzled but i shrugged it off. My mother was always a bit erratic. She was a beautiful women and people tell me i look like her all the time but i dont see it sure with the curly red hair and the emerald eyes but that is where it ends. She is tall and curvy where im short and have somewhat ok boobs but thats about it, im am no where near as beautiful as my mother, but hey we cant have everything in life can we?

As I entered the kitchen my big brother Jon came and gave me a big hug. I will mention now that Jon and i look nothing the same, his white blonde hair and sharp angled face closely resembled my father but the only characteristics we share are our eyes and a small birth mark on the insides of our wrists. It almost looks like a weird tattoo but its just a birth mark.

"Hey Clare-Bear" he whispered to me sounding solemn. I pulled away searching his face looking for a sign as to what was wrong, but all he did was smile warily at me.

"Whats going on?" I asked confused looking around the room at my Mother, brother, and step father who also looked a bit upset.

" Lets eat first before we have a little conversation Clary. Please I need to have just a normal dinner for a few minutes." My mother replied looking at me pleadingly, i immediately started to have an uneasy feeling in the pit of my stomach, but I nodded my head yes biting my lip.

Dinner was quite with small chat and questions about random things, like how my best friends Simon, and Izzy were how my attempts at running a gallery were going, and random stuff like that. When everyone was done with dinner my mother lead us all to the living room and sat me down. The uneasy feeling returning almost immediately.

"Clary..." She looked at me sadly, "We have some news that you aren't going to like. And please before you freak out on us hear me out OK?" I opened my mouth to reply but she put her and up to silence me. " You are getting engaged!" she tried to add fake cheer to her voice but it didn't work. My mouth dropped open and is started to say something but she put her hand up again. "We are forced into this sweetheart I can't give you all the details, but i will tell you it has to do with your fathers murder and the other person in this situation is being blackmailed into it as well"

She looked at me with tears in her eyes. My mind was racing something connecting to my fathers Murder? But what does that have to do with me? Why? All the questions popping into my head were suffocating me. I couldn't breathe couldn't move. I was being forced into an engagement? "who?" i croaked out.

At that my mothers face fell even farther if that was possible. "Clary I..." my step father Luke cut her off.

"We can't tell you right now... All we can say is your apartment has already been packed up and moved into your new place with your fiance who you have met before..." He looked up at me begging me to understand.

"WHO THE HELL AM I SUPPOSED TO LIVE WITH?" I screamed I cant handle this oh my god this is way to much.

" Here is the address to his place, but sweetheart it is imperative that in public you act like a happy couple, is that clear? They are always watching do you understand?" I refused to look at him. "Do you UNDERSTAND? It is imperative for your guys safety." Finally i nodded and looked up at him.

"I understand" God what is happening right now? I can't even think straight...

"Good. Now here is the address to your place. Good luck sweetheart. Please understand that we would never make you do this unless it was absolutely necessary." Luke handed me a small piece of paper with an address and gave me a hug and a kiss on the head, as did my mom and Jon.

"It's going to be ok Clare-Bear, you'll see" Jon whispered as he hugged me.

I left the house hailing a cab, and handing him the address. trying to think who this mystery person could possibly be? and also...What the hell just happened?

The cabby driver dropped me off in front of the most gorgeous apartment building I had ever seen , i just starred up in awe. I guess its now or never and with that i entered the building and headed to the clerks desk.

" Umm... my name is Clary Fray I was sent-" the clerk cut me off with out even looking up at me.

"Pent House, here is your key" I looked at her in shock... penthouse?

When I reached the door... I guess my door I was hesitant what if this person was some kind of psycho? Shut up Clary imagination just go in. And so I did.

To the say the least I was NOT prepared to see the person inside. There on the couch was the most arrogant, snobby, ass hat of all ass hats, who unfortunately is also the most beautiful blonde haired golden eyed angel you will ever see. And I hate him with every fiber in my entire being.

There in front of me sat Jace Wayland.

"Hey little red" He said to me smirking at my shocked face, I stood there completely frozen starring at him " Take a picture" he said "It will last longer but i do have to say it wont capture the immense glory of all of this." He said gesturing him to himself.

"You have to be FUCKING kidding me" I said. Kill me know dear Lord take me please end me before this Misery begins.
Thanks for reading guys! Please review!
