Clalec: At school (Book 1)

Chapter 11 - What should I do?

Alec POV

I walked over to Clary's room and heard sobs. I knocked on the door quietly

"Clary, Clary can I come in?" There was no reply so I pushed open the door and saw her curled up on the bed clutching a pillow. I sat on the edge of the bed and gently touched her shoulder but she flinched and moved away

"Clary please" I said sounding desperate

"No Alec I don't want you to see me like this" she said quietly in between sniffles

"Like what?"

"Like a weak little girl, just like Sam thought" she said

At the point I couldn't take it anymore. I sat on the bed pulled Clary onto my lap and held her head up so she was looking at me.

She struggled slightly but stopped when I cupped her face more gently.

"Clarissa Fray you listen to me. You are not a weak little girl. You are one of the strongest, bravest, most badass people I have ever met. You can stand up to Sam and beat him yourself but just so you know I will do everything I can to protect you from that prick and I always be here for you"

She stared at me as tears fell down her cheek and I wiped then away. I held her tightly as she sobbed into my chest, but not before I heard her whisper "thank you"

"Your welcome" I said kissing her forehead as she clutched my T-shirt and drifted to sleep.

I checked the clock and it said 6:30. Clary was still asleep so I slowly moved her off my chest and tucked her into bed.

"Sleep well, little red" I whispered closing the door behind me. I walked back to the kitchen where Izzy and Jon were eating and Jocelyn was washing up.

"How is she?" Jocelyn asked. "She okay now, she's sleeping" I said and Jocelyn nodded.

"I'm going to kill that twat, Shaun or whatever his name is" Jon mumbled

"Jon, language" Jocelyn said

"And his name is Sam" Izzy added

"Wait why did she let you in her room?" Jon said pointing at me. I looked at Izzy and Jocelyn

"You might as well tell him Alec, I mean you and Clary were going to anyway" Jocelyn said

"Tell me what" Jon said looking confused

"Ummm"

"Just tell him Alec!" Izzy said

"Fine, Jon please don't freak out but... Claryandiaredating" I said quickly hoping he wouldn't here me but he did. I saw his face go red as he stood up.

"WHAT?!" He screamed running towards me as I sprinted to our bedrooms

"Jon, no!" I heard Jocelyn and Izzy shout as they followed behind

I turned around to see Jon catching up but before he get too close Clary jumped in front of me and put a hand on Jon's chest.

"No!" She screamed "Jon stop, okay please I'm happy"

"Jon your sister can take care of herself and clearly Alec makes her happy you need to understand that and you need to deal with this in your own way but do not blame Alec, you will never find a friend as good as him again. Trust me okay" Jocelyn said and Jon backed off

"I just... I don't...I need time" Jon said running to his room and shutting the door.

"Well that could have gone better" I said "but thank you for what you said" I replied looking at Jocelyn
