So a few notes before we start. This story does a lot of Clary Bashing so if you like her i hope that you can look past that. Secondly this story is about Jace falling in love with essentially one of you so i hope you enjoy that as well. Most of the Clary bashing is done by Jace. If you like it please review and Favorite the story :DD

Chapter one
I asked the bartender to pour me another round, I am exasperated currently and a drink usually helps me calm my temper. A few minutes into the drink my mother walked through the door, Cassandra Clare. She has been busily hopping around recently and I haven't been able to see much of her. She comes up to the seat next to me and sits down.
"Hello Jace," She says "It's been a while."
"Yes it has been mom. How have you been?"
"Eh, Life has been really busy lately."
"Yeah I would say so sense the book has over a million readers now."
"Yeah," she looked at me calmly. "Jace, how are things going with Clary?"
"Oh do you mean the obnoxious little red head you set me up with? Can't you guess?"
"Why are you so impatient towards her?"
"Let me think, she is snobbish, Irritating to the 9th degree, and the clingiest parasite you will ever meet."
"You could at least give her a chance Jace."
"No mom, I will play my part and that is it."
"Fine but if you die alone that is your fault."
"That is a wee bit dramatic don't you think?"
I turn away from her and continue sulking.
*Flash back*
It was a long day and all of the readers were the same. All day I could hear them fan girling and freaking out about the new book. I was excited to get started but then they all killed it by making me replay the same three pages a million times. Oh well that is life I suppose. It was my last shift and that was when she caught my eye. A reader with long brown hair and blue eyes. She had eyes that would stand out in the middle of a crowd and that would understand everything you wanted to say before the first syllable left your lips. I fell in love with her immediately but our time together is always shorter compared to everyone else.
*End of Flashback*
This meeting was roughly 4 years after our first book was published. I have been in a bad mood ever sense then especially when mom tried to set me up with Clarissa. She just didn't understand, unfortunately I have had to keep my love for her under wraps because an actor in love with his reader is the most taboo thing in our world. Luckily for my best friend Alec he was set up with the love of his life and doesn't really have to worry about anything. Though, when my character found out that Alec was gay I was tempted to punch myself in the face. How could someone be so oblivious? As I was lost in my thoughts Percy form the Percy Jackson series came up and sat next to me.
"Hey Jace." He said
"Hey Perce, How are you?" I looked around for the tiny blonde usually glued to his side. "Where is Annie?"
"Oh she is in the bathroom powdering her nose. We have a new scene coming up."
I nodded then he added "And by the way her name is Annabeth."
"Oh, Dude, I killed it during one of the scenes today."
"What scene?"
"The one where the dryad gives me 3 pearls, I ROCKED IT. People were clapping and everything." (p.s. I haven't read the series in a few years so I forgot what the creature was that gave him the pearls.)
Right then Annabeth came up to us said her "hellos" and ushered him off to their next scene. You know I like the guy but he can be so full of himself sometimes especially sense he has a book named after him. I looked over to the bartender Wanda who stars in The Host series and asked for another round of shots.
"No Jace." She said
"What why?"
"Because you have a scene coming up in 5 minutes."
"Your job is to help me forget my sorrows not remind me of them."
"I don't care Mr. get your but on set."
"Yes mother."
At that moment Cassandra rounded the corner and said "Let's get going Jace."
"Speak of the devil and she shall appear." Wanda commented
I cracked up laughing and walked towards the set. With a growing emptiness in my heart I went to start the longest day of my life.
