ok so im super happy with the turn out to this story so i really really like this plot.. I have always wanted to do an AH but i never could find the right plot but i think this will be vet successful.

Clary's POV

I brought Jace who was tightly holding my arm as we walked out, to his veterans apartment. This apartment was for any veterans who didn't have a home to go to or wasnt safe enough to live on their own. Since I was a therapist for patients i was given free room and boarding in the room next to Jace's. As i led him to the elevator and we got in his eyes never stopped moving, he gripped my arm tighter as it moved, he was whispering to him self and shaking his head. I could handle this easy but when we got to the floor we lived on the bell dinged and jace lost it.

He was like how I found him in the greeting room. He sat down in the corner of the elevator, balled up and muttering again. This time it was a different name, Simon. I took his hands from his hair again and placed them on my shoulders. Then using my 5'3 body i was able to slowly get him to stand up.

At 6'2 Jace towered me, but right now he was so scared so weak and fragile that if i moved to fast to take his hand he flinched. We walked out the doors, Jace's hand in mine. We made it to his room and he sat down. I turned the tv on to a soft music channel and say by Jace.

He took a deep breath and looked at me again. I smiles softly at him and he started talking. "my name is Jace, you're Clary. You are beautiful. Im safe now. Alec is gone" this made me happy because Jace finally spoke then i blushed but then my heart fell to pieces. When he said "Alec is gone" his face fell and he started to breathe faster. Thats when I knew i had to step in.

"Jace look at me its ok you're safe in your own apartment im here, look in my eyes and breathe deep breaths". I have used this exorcise many times but when Jace looked into my eyes I looked into his and my stomach dropped, he was stunning and broken and scared but I know i can help him.

after some hours of showing Jace around the building and how to get in my room if he needed me, Jace had finally calmed down and was a normal person. Sadly he still has pain behind his eyes.

when it was time for dinner I made us each a bowl of soup and we sat at the small 3 person table as we ate.

"So Clary can you tell me about yourself" Jace looked at me with a smirk i couldn't describe, it was cocky and flirtatious but there was something behind it.

"well Jace my name is Clary Fairchild im 22 and am super smart. I graduated college at the age of 19" Jace looked at me as I kept talking. When I was done he smiled bigger. "So Jace" I questioned "can you tell me anything about yourself from before your... Service time"

Jace quickly replied "i have a sister and you would like her she doesn't look looks me and we fight but i love her and miss her" Jace was staring off into space when he was done.

I smiled and finished my soup, I motioned to his bowl but he took mine and said "don't worry i never let the lady do the dishes on a date" this boy sure was a flirt but i smiled and have it to him. Once dishes were done we said our good nights and i went to my room.

I changed into a large shirt and small workout shorts, as i lay in bed i started thinking. this boy sure is different, he's so cocky and such a flirt when we talk but if he gets scared he looks so fragile and scared, he doesn't even talk about how he feels when that happens even as we ate. This boy may have a tough exterior but he has a weakness and if he can face his troubles and realize what is going on now and whats gone is gone. As for his sister maybe i should invite her over so she can see her brother when he is getting better.
