One Night-
A/N- I own nothing except the computer that I'm typing on, everything else belongs to the amazing Cassandra Clare. I wish I owned Jace… but life isn't fair.
Summary- Clarisssa Fray and Jace Herondale have hated each other since they were little. But one night, Clarissa's 18 birthday will change everything. Rated M for later chapters. AU
C POV-
I stared around as the lights flashed and the bodies grinded together. This was my supposed birthday party and I was the only one not having fun. I was turning 18 and it should be fun, but all I saw was about a hundred people, half of which I didn't even know, making a mess in my mom's house. Who by the way was going to be home in about two days.
"Clarissa, you need to have fun!" Izzy said next to me, handing me a cup with, only God knows what in it.
"Come on Senior year! You're 18! This is a big deal!" I rolled my eyes.
"Izzy, you said the same thing about turning 10, then 11, and the-"
"Yeah, but this is the big one! You're not a child anymore! Come on Clarissa, for once, once, just let go and have fun!" She held the cup out. I sighed and grabbed the cup.
"Okay, but… don't let me do something stupid." Izzy squealed and span around.
After about three drinks in I saw the one person I thought I was going to be able to avoid.
"Hello Angel." I heard his cocky, annoying voice behind me. I swiveled around to glare at him.
"What are you doing here?" He smirked in response.
"Well, considering Jonathan is in Cali. He asked me to pop in and make sure nothing inappropriate was going on at his baby sister's birthday party." He looked around at all my friends grinding on the dance floor, or what used to be my living room, and then at the plastic cup in my hands. "Glad to see he was wrong in his suspicions." He said lacing his voice with sarcasm.
"Oh, like you and Jon's parties were any different. Wait actually; if I remember correctly, your parties were much worse." Jace Herondale has my brother, Jonathan's best friend since kindergarten. That's also how long we've hated each other. He pulled my pig tails and I pushed him down and we've hated each other ever since. See both Jon and Jace are a year ahead of me and when they graduated Jon went to the University of California and Jace went to college here to "keep an eye on me for Jon".
He grinned at the memories. "Ahh, good times, good times." He sighed and took the cup from my hand. "do you even know what's in this?" I snagged it back.
"Yes," I lied and took another sip. "Can you just leave, I was having a bad enough time even before you got here."
"Oh, Angel, I'm hurt." He put a hand over his heart in mock offence. I rolled my eyes. "Here put that down." He took the cup from me. "And at least drink something that you're absolutely sure about its contents." He grabbed another fresh cup and poured a new drink and held it out to me.
"What's wrong with you?"
"I need to take care of you," he said, an emotion flashed behind his eyes and quickly disappeared, "ya know, for Jon." I hesitantly took the cup. He smirked. A new song blasted through the speakers and a new gleam flashed behind his golden eyes. He bowed from the waist. "Madame, would you be so inclined as to accept my offer for a dance?" I scoffed.
"Yeah, I haven't had that much to drink, Pretty Boy."
He leaned in and his lips brushed my ear and his voice was soft as velvet ,"Well, we'll see about that." It sent a shiver all the way down to my toes and my breath spiked up, I blamed it on the alcohol.
A/N- So what did you think? I would love some reviews people! :D
