Hiding My Life (On Hold)

Chapter Seven

Clary's POV

Today is now Friday and while having nothing else to do for the night, I am being dragged to the football game tonight by Alec and I'll apparently get to meet his boyfriend.

Jace and I have been getting along a lot more lately, even though I still won't tell him what I meant on Monday.

Walking inside the house, I went up to my room and began to change clothes. Izzy says I have to wear something of actual color.

I searched through my closet before Ryder walked in. "What cha doin'?" I groaned.

"Izzy is forcing me to go to the football game tonight and I have to wear something with color, but I don't know what to wear." He smiled and took my place by the closet, pulling out my new dress.

"This one. For your boyfriend." I shook my head.

"But, I don't have a boyfriend." He laughed.

"Angel, do you really think that I wouldn't have noticed the pep in your step? And, I don't figure that building a relationship with your brother and your dad would give you that pep. So, is it a crush, or do you have a new boyfriend and didn't tell me?" I laughed and took off my shoes and my jeans.

"Crush." He nodded.

"Who? Do I beat his ass, or do I let him know what'll happen to him if he hurts you?" I took off my shirt and pulled on my dress.

"Jace, and threaten." I smiled and he wrapped the small belt around me.

"Okay, I've met him, I know where he lives, this works." I laughed and slipped into my black flip flops.

"Please, don't hurt him and don't show him your gun." He sighed.

"Well, you're not really leaving me with much to work with, but I'll take what I can get. So, hair, what are you gonna do with that?"

"Hm. Dunno. What do you think?" I asked and he pulled the front of my hair back into a half up half down kind of hairdo. "I love it. Thanks, Ry." He nodded and I looked up at him. "Are you ever gonna tell the guys about-"

"I don't think so. And, I don't want to talk about it. You know, you should invite your dad and Jon to the game, they're guys, they'd enjoy it." I nodded.

"Okay. I'll call dad in a minute." I smiled and kissed his cheek whilst he kissed my forehead.

"I'll get Luke to be your own personal guard for the game. Have fun tonight, angel."

"I'll try." He laughed and walked out. I called dad and he said that him and Jonathan would love to come and that they'd see me in an hour.

"Angel! Let's go!" I smiled at Luke and kept my gold watch on before retreating down the stairs before getting into the SUV with him.

We were sitting in the bleachers only thirty minutes later, almost to the top of the bleachers. Soon enough, Alec and a very sparkly man joined us.

"Clary, this is my boyfriend, Magnus. Magnus, Clary." I shook his hand, reaching over Alec to do so. When I pulled my hand back, it was slightly stained with glitter, impossible to get off.

"Nice to meet you, Magnus. You seem to have met me on one of my less moody days. If I had met you a few weeks ago, I would've been an absolute bitch. But, my recent coma has changed me." He looked shocked at my words.

"Coma?" I nodded. "Long story?" I nodded again. "Understood, Biscuit." I laughed at the nickname.

"Don't question it, Clary. He calls me by my full name. Alexander. Only my parents call me me that." Alec whispered in my ear, earning a slap to the side of the head from Magnus.
