Recap:
    I was in Amy's room organizing my things.  "What did I ever do to her?!" I ask angrily. 
     "You Can't just let her run you off like that" Jace says. "She's just getting back at you for taking her room away" He says.
       "Oh yeah! Some help you were in that department! The natives would never dream of letting their god. Sleep on a couch" I say. "Not when they have me to blame!"
       "Clary, now You're being-,"
        "I am not a completely ridiculous person, Jace!" I say angrily as I look up at him. He looks back at me and we hold our stare. I take in a deep breath. "I can see you beginning to look at me like they do" I say as tears well up in my eyes.
       "That's not true" he says as he lies down on the bed.
         "Isn't it?" I ask. "You're telling me, you're not wondering why you brought me here?" I ask as i try to focus on anything else other than Jace. "That You're not beginning to have doubts?"
      "No" Jace says.
      "That you—-You don't wish I were different?" I ask.
       "Different? Different how?" He asks. I look up and bump my head on the ceiling since I was standing on the small part of the room. "Hey, i was joking" he says as he pulls my waist closer to him. "I was just joking" he repeats. I sigh as I lean my head onto his shoulder.

    "I wouldn't want you just because you were a good guy who got caught up in something and then couldn't find the break," I say.
       "Hey, I'm not a good guy," Jace says as he trails kisses up my neck. I sigh.
        "Yes you are," I say as I pull away from him.

Celine Point Of View
     I was sitting on my bed flipping through a magazine, Stephen was organizing his closet. "He's coming for that ring, that's what he wants to talk to me about" I tell Stephan as I angrily flip through the pages. "He intends to give that girl my mothers wedding ring!" I say in exasperation.
     "My mother," Stephan corrects.
     "She's my mother by law," I say. Stephan rolls his eyes. Stephen's mother Imogene loved me the second she met me, and she approved our wedding. And to this day we're happily married.
       "What I don't understand," Stephan says as he walks out of the closet. "Is what he see's in her," I laugh at Stephan.
       "See i was on to you Mr.Oh so innocent" there was no way Stephan approved of that girl, and i was right!
        "No, I don't mean that, she's attractive, she's intelligent, obviously successful," Stephan says as I keep laughing at him. "She's better mannered than any one of us," He Adds on.
        "Oh c'mon give me a break!" I say as I put my magazine down. "You stick a silver spoon up any monkeys butt it's bound to go 'please' and 'thank you' big deal!"
        "She's a fine woman," Stephan argues.
        "Oh,so,fine!" I laugh as I look at Stephan.
       "She doesn't seem to trust herself very well," Stephan says.

-?-?-?-?-?-?-?-?

I was looking out the snowing window drinking coffee. Through the reflection I see Clary. She was wearing Black leggings and a black shirt. "You're up early," I say as I turn to look at her. "Did you sleep alright?" I ask.
"Yes, thank you, has Jace woken u-," Amy interrupts her as she walks in shivering.
"It's freezing!" She says shivering. "Is there coffee?"
"Coming up," I say as I start brewing coffee.
"Good morning Amy," Clary says.
"Hello my second born," I say as I grab the mail that arrived.
         "Good morning mom." She says.
        "Oh Amy! I meant to tell you! We got a card from the Stevenson's the other day, you remember Brad Stevenson don't you?" I ask.

Clary Point Of View
     "Very funny.." Amy says bitterly.
     "Brad,Brad Stevenson!" Celine says. "Still in town, still available," Celine pours some coffee into a mug.
       "Yeah well-,"
       "Brad Popped Amy's cherry" Celine tells me.
        "MOM!" Amy says. 
         "Oh, oh I'm sorry dear is that not accurate?" Celine asks. Amy glares at her mother. "Poor guy's still holding out for her," Celine says. "Guess he had a taste of something he liked," Celine shrugs.
        "Okay, mom!" Amy says.
       "Hmm?" Celine asks.
        "Can you Not?!" Amy asks. Celine shrugs.
       "Milks in the fridge if you need it," Celine says as she walks out of the kitchen. I go to the fridge and so does Amy. I grab the milk carton.
       "Amy you take milk?" I ask.
       "Yeah, but I can do it," she says as she takes  the carton away from me. She then goes and pours the milk into the coffee mug. I walk up to her.
        "Um....I'm really sorry you had to sleep on the couch last night...." I say awkwardly. Amy looks at me then looks away as she stirs the milk to blend it in with the coffee. "Maybe we can take turns?" I ask.
       "Don't sweat it," She says and walks away.
      "I wish you'd give me a chance! Whatever it is that I did wrong,"
        "I said don't sweat it.." Amy says and starts to walk away again.
         "I-I-I don't know what I did to you I really don't!" I say as I keep following her. "But you know, I don't care whether you like me or not!" I say.
        "Oh of course you do," She says with bitter sweetness as she sips her coffee and walks out of the kitchen. She's right I really do care what she thinks, what they all think. I really like Jace and if they don't like me, then my relationship with him is screwed! Why can't they just like me?! I can feel myself crumbling under pressure, I know I will break. But hopefully I don't break in front of them. Or they'll just hate me more.

Ok! So I hope you liked this chapter, I'm sorry, I just have so many things I have to worry about (homework, Finals, Community service) that I don't have so much time for Wattpad, anywho! Please comment and vote!
