"What the fuck was I to you?" Jace almost yelled, keeping a calm...cold exterior.
"Someone I was in love with. But now your my brother. Someone i can't love like that anymore" Clary swallowed hard, Jace had never yelled at her like that before. Never seemed so cool, calm and collected yet fucking mad with anger all at the same time. Only the crack in his voice broke his facade.
"Yea? Well you know what little sister" Jace and Clary both flinched at the word 'sister' and Jace said it with the utmost cruel irony. " I hope you had as much fun as i did. I was never in love with you. You had always just been another girl to me. So go ahead keep using Simon, I don't care"
Don't you cry Clarissa Fray, Don't cry, don't cry, don't cry. She was chanting this as a prayer and Jace noticed to his own demise the water forming in her eyes, her bottom lip begin to tremble
"Then why did you come here? Why are you here now?" Suddenly rage built up in Clary, she started to believe him. "Get out Jace, I never want that smug, dumbbutt face of yours, ever again, just get the hell away from me"
"Dumb butt?" Jace repeated with a glint of sarcasm in his eyes. That threw Clary over the edge and she slapped him, hard, across his right cheek.
But his face turned right back to look her dead in the eye and abrubtly his lips were all over her face, he kissed her passionately on the lips, then kissed her cheek, forehead, right back to her lips. Clary tried to pull away once but with no avail. He was holding onto her tightly, someone like he very much did care about.
"Why are you doing this?"
"I' am sorry Clary, I see you hurting and I feel like I need to do- like i should be the one to make you smile and laugh and make you feel better" His eyes were earnest and his face swiped clean from coldness now seemed rather helpless and filled with yearning for her understanding "I don't know what to do, I love you and I want you for myself. Every time I see Simon touch you, kiss you, I feel like that should be me. I don't understand why that can't be me. By the angel Clary you are all i'll ever need and i just want you to want me still"
Clary sucked in a hard breath, Jace always seemed to have a way with his words and always made her feel like pudding just for him to mold and at a loss for words she gulped and if I recall correctly said "I'm sorry too..I- I love you and I still am in love with you..That never went away and I ...I do want you Jace. I always want you... more then anyone"
They continued to kiss and comfort each other until the morning light began to rise
