Chapter One

Clary POV - It will always be in Clary's POV but if you want me to do other please leave a review, Thanks!

"I hate you!" I scream at Jace at the top of my lungs

"Then leave!" He yells back, I can't keep the hurt and shock out of my face at his words. I spin on my heel and leave.

"Clary?" Izzy, one of my closest friends, says as I leave Jace's room in a hot steaming mess. "You okay?"

"No not really." I say collapsing down onto the ground and forcing the tears back

"Want to talk about it?" She asks, and I get up and pull her towards my room

"I walked in on Jace and another girl," I see the shock in her eyes, but I continue, "he told me that he wanted a change or something like that and then we had an argument and he told me to leave." I say and burst into tears.

"It will be okay." Izzy says quietly but I can hear the doubt and fear behind her façade. She leaves me alone because she knows me well enough that I like space

I sit alone staring at the wall, I can't decide if I want Jace to apologize or not. He doesn't.

Five weeks later

I can't stay here anymore and watch Jace wrap himself on the other girl. Every time I see them I tell myself I shouldn't, but I still get upset. I shove my clothes into my small duffel bag and walk out of the institute. I'm a little sad to say goodbye but at least I never have to see Jace again. I can't bring myself to actually hate him, but I absolutely despise him.

"Clary are you leaving?" His voice, of all people, says from behind me

"Yes, I am so I never have to see you again." I spit out with my back to him, so he won't see the tears that prick the corners of my eyes. I want to turn around just to see his face, but I stop myself. I walk away and out onto the busy New York streets

I get out my phone and dial my best friends number. "Simon?" I ask when someone answers

"CLARY!" I can practically feel his excitement coming through the phone

"I need your help. Can I crash at your place for a couple days?" I ask and chew on my lower lip

"Sure, want to explain why?" Confusion fills his voice

"I will when I get there, see ya soon." I say and hang up

When I get to Simon's he opens it and hugs me tightly. "What's up Fray?"

"A lot but I need to stay here for a bit until I have a place." I say and then add. "Let's just say I won't be going back to the institute anytime soon."

"Wh-what happened is Izzy okay?" He asks quickly, and I laugh a bit

"Izzy is fine but Jace and I are not." I clarify
