Clary

Today Izzy and Mom, I've finally started calling her that, go shopping. I wish I didn't have to go to the store and try anything on. I don't like the fact that they will see my scars. Yes, they know what I did, but still. I still don't fell like I even belong here. They, especially Jace, insist I do. After school yesterday Jace and Izzy got very protective. It's nice to feel cared for but I doubt it's real. We get to the shopping center. Isabelle drags me into all the stores and insists on giving her opinion on everything.

I just want it to be over and it was very quickly. Once I am home I start thinking about everything. Valentine and Sebastian stick in my mind as I relive those memories with tears streaming down my face.

Knock Knock

Jace walks in. "Are you okay, Clary?"I shake my head. Jace is the only person I can tell anything to. "Want to talk about it?"

"It's just my past family. The ones who abused me. Sebastian and Valentine, my dad and brother." I wipe my tears away.

"What about your mom?" Jace asked me.

"She took off when I turned 10... I haven't seen her since. She never came back to me." I sigh. Jace wraps his arms around me and holds me. I was going to ask him to do this before. It's like he read my know each others past and trust each other. Around him I am ...safe.

Jace

I won't push her. I will help her recover but never push her so she breaks again. I swear,by the Angel, I won't push her. That means i need to slow the on growing relationship between us and take it slow. As Clary tells me about her mother, all I can think about is just seeing her happy again. I know she will be again. Her mothers abandon her. I feel a slight twinge of hatred toward her mother. Why would she leave Clary to get beaten and neglected?

I hold her as the trembling passes and she slowly doses off again. Magnus comes in.

"Jace, Is there any way you can get her to talk to me? Please she needs help and she cannot keep putting this all on you." Magnus says.

"I could try,but you know what? She can say whatever she wants and tell me anything she wants without panicking and I will continue letting her Magnus. I won't stop her and neither will you. If she wants to talk to you she will." I say almost angered. I will not deprive Clary of happiness. Magnus just leaves with absolutely no word, he just lets out a sigh.

I watch Clary sleep peacefully. Well, as peaceful as she can get. She tosses and turns but not a lot. If only I can see what she see's, maybe I could understand better.

Izzy

"BREAKFAST IS READY" I hear mom scream. I walk down soon followed by Alec. About fifteen minutes after Jace and Clary come down. Clary stops and the bottom of the stairs.

"Come on,Clary. Let's get some food into you before school." I say. Today I decide I will let her wear what she wants to wear. Which turned out to be jeans and her Brooklyn T-shirt. We all eat with very little talk and head out to the bus.

"How did you sleep, Clary?" I ask.

"I had a nightmare. Jace came in and calmed me down and I feel back to sleep." She gives a weak smile.

"Well, at least your sleeping more than when you first came here." I say happily."So. After school want to go to a movie and a resturant? Me, you, Jace, and Alec?"

" I've never been to a resturant...or to the movies..." She says ashamed.

"Well, There's a first time for everything, Clary." Jace cut in before I could speak. " It will be fun. I promise" Clary nods.

Clary

School goes by in a blur. It's easier now though. Sebastian doesn't pick on me anymore. I suppose that's a good thing. The final bell rings and I meet Jace and Izzy outside the front doors.

"Ready to have fun?" Izzy speaks in her usual tone. Happy and anxious. I give a nod and we head to the Movie theater.

How will the movies go?

Will Clary talk to Magnus?
