Shadowhunters

The Beginning

            It was Clary's 18th birthday, Simon (her best friend) came to her house to pick her up for a show and dinner. Jocelyn (her mom) tried to change their minds and come back home for dinner.

            "Mom, I'll be fine; I'm going to be with Simon," Clary said.

            "I have to talk to you, it's really important," says Jocelyn.

                                                                                               Clary's POV

            I'm going out with Simon, he has planned this for months and my mom is trying to keep me home. I tell her, "Let's talk about it during breakfast tomorrow, okay?"

            "Fine, but it can't wait much longer." My mom said.

            "Simon, you can sit on the couch I'm going to get dressed real quick."

            "Okay, but we don't have a lot of time so hurry." Simon said.

            I ran up the stairs and put on my dress, jean jacket, and flats. Then I put on mascara and lip gloss and went back downstairs. "Okay, how do I look?" I asked.

            "You look...perfect." Simon said. I could tell he was admiring me before Luke (my step-dad) came in from the front door.

            "Where are you taking my daughter Simon?" He asked.

             "I'm taking her to a show and dinner for her birthday." He answered smiling.

            Then Luke looked at my mom with a concerned look and said, "Okay, but be careful; I don't want anything happening to her tonight, you hear me Simon?"

            "Dad...Simon and I are going to be fine...and late. Let's go Simon."

             And we left.
