They Say It Heals With Time? A Mortal Instruments Fan fiction: Clace

A new arrival, alcohol and an unwanted 'gift'. Part 1

Somedays a hug is really all you need, that's what I thought as I was hugging Tobias. He really is an amazing friend for coming on this short notice. How long is it from London? I'm guessing a lot anyway... I was cut off mid inner monologue by the boy I was currently hugging picked me up from my middle and spun me around.

"Seriously!, STOP! TOBY!!" I shrieked, I really hated being picked up. It reminded me of how short I actually was. Compared to Toby I was at least over a foot shorter... or maybe I was he was just too damn tall.

"I will puke all over you!" I exclaimed, I was actually being serious about it. I had been feeling a little queasy all day and I assume continual spinning doesn't help the sickness.

"Ohhh, BLOODY HELL NO!!" he shrieked out, abruptly putting my petite frame down and taking two long strides backward.

"Oh my actual God. hahah!" I laughed out, barely able to stand properly. I was still dizzy from the spinning."You were sooo scared!" I choked out between my manic outbursts of laughter.

Jesy had been silent throughout the whole exchange and I was beginning to wonder what was up with her. That was until she broke my damn ear drum.

"WHY ARE WE SCREAMING!!!" she yelled out, questioningly.

"I DON'T KNOW! WHY ARE YOU?" we screamed out simultaneously. 

"BECAUSE I HAVEN'T BEEN SPUN AROUND!" Jess retorted, her tone impassive yet very loud. Very, very loud... what a pair of lungs.

"Well I'm sorry Jesy but you do realize Clary is half your height and I have just been on a seven hour and forty minute plane journey" Tobias answered like it held the secrets to the universe. 

"I mean, your lucky that one person got picked up"

"I'm glad you said height" Jesy chirped.

"I'm bloody glad I did too" Tobias murmured under his breath, to low for Jesy to hear.

"Come and meet my old friends" I said as we started to make our way into the living room, where we probably left them dazed and confused.

"Nice house" Toby commented as we walked together in a small group of three. I say walked together but I mean I had to practically jog to keep up with the other twos long, tall person strides.

"Thanks" I said, not really thinking about my response.

We soon made it to the living room where a comfortable silence had seemed to take over. Izzy, Alec and Jace looked up at the exact same time which was kinda startling but I just went with it.

"Umm, guys this is Tobias but you can call him whatever you want" I said with a small hand gesture. Toby looked at me with his eyebrows raised 

"Do you expect something grander than that? You can introduce yourself, this isn't primary school" I said as I turned to pick up my car keys and leather jacket.

"Stand up in the middle of the room and tell them about yourself Tobes!" I said in an exaggerated happy tone, while giving him a thumbs up.

"Don't be nervous! I'm sure they'll all be very nice to you.." I continued dragging out the false reassurances. "Jesy! I assign you to look after him for the day, this part is serious though. If people come looking for him, don't tell them he's here" I said slowly, my tone lowering at least two octaves from the happy teacher voice. 

"F*ck you" he muttered, running a hand through his sandy coloured hair. "Where are you going!?!" he then questioned.

"To get stuff for the party, you guys can all help him set up and I'll be back in a few hours" I replied, glancing around the room a final time. Shrugging on my jacket, I made my way to the garage and got into my red Jaguar F-Type.

Hey,

only a short update as I have been busy with exams recently. What do you think of Toby and most importantly what do you think the others (more specifically Jace) think of him?

Thanks for all the votes and reads so far!

Please comment it would make my day to hear what you guys think :)

Bye,

love you guys,

Rebecca
