All That Money Can't Buy

Chapter Four: Always been something

(FINALLY UPDATED, ITS A MIRACLE !) not edited though so... Please excuse any mistakes.

Clary's POV

"He threw you out?!"

I have to talk to jace

"I can't believe he threw you out of the room, does he want me to hit him in the face with a chair?!"

He needs to know

"Why did he throw you out?"

Nico.

"Clary would you answer me!"

"I'm pregnant Jonathan." I don't look at him, mostly because I can't. I feel so ashamed. Sure, I never planned this but I'm jeopardising everyone's career.

He stops pacing around his hotel room for a minute and looks at me, really looks at me even though I'm avoiding eye contact with him

"You're pregnant?" He asks himself mostly, I nod anyway.
"He threw you out because you're pregnant?" He tests the words out, knowing it doesn't sound like something his best friend would do at all

"No," I shake my head at him frantically trying to calm him down before he's even lost it
"It's a long story Jon I'm not getting into it again but I'm pregnant with jace's child and he doesn't know."

He stares at me for a while, trying to figure me out or jace and I out or maybe he's even being brave enough to try to figure the situation out while he fails at and sits on the edge of his bed beside me and rests his ginormous legs on my bags against the wall in front of us

We're quiet for a long time if you don't include the occasional sighs coming from each of us, Jonathan isn't having that good a time at the moment either and spends most of his free time being miserable over his break up with Charlotte.

Neither of them would tell me (or anyone) what had happened and so after a while we just stopped asking.

"I need to tell Jace."
"You need to tell Jace."

We said at the same time almost as if we were kids again only without the laughter that usually followed when we said the same thing.
Instead we turned and gave each other a little smile of understanding and gratitude, maybe he was also thinking about Charlotte again and was grateful I hadn't brought her up.

I think maybe we lost a part of ourselves when Jonathan and I were separated. We're only just getting it back.

He wraps one of his arms around me for a minute and pulls me against his side in a small hug

"I'll still beat him up if you want me to." He mumbles into my hair making me laugh

"Jon I'm not a little girl anymore I don't need you to go around beating people up for me." I felt his chest shake as he chuckled
"You never did clary. But I do enjoy beating jace up." He joked obviously because jace would probably beat his ass if he tried.

"Sadist" We laugh because if we didn't we'd cry.

I go to knock just as the door is flung open and the attractive blonde behind it's eyebrows shot up

"I was just, ugh-" he began
"What?" He snapped eventually composing himself

I let myself have a few seconds to admire him, he'd only kicked me out this morning but he looked good in a ripped black t-shirt, skinny jeans and combat boots. I even got a whiff of his cologne as the door opened and I swear my knees nearly gave in, it still amazes me how ridiculously attractive he is.
