Jace sat on the curb contemplating and assessing the situation.
Just go you idiot!! He thought. She is going to hate you stupid! You don't know that! She could be coming to beg you back! Hah! That's funny. As this war was going on in his head he suddenly found himself about two feet from Clary. Crap! How he heck did I get here?
"Um- Clary look I'm… I just…. I had no-" he sighed, struggling to find the words. He had never been tongue tied before. Why now? He stood there looking at Clary It was obvious she had no idea the conflict in his head at the moment.
Jace took a breath and started again.
"Clary I'm such an idiot I had no-" he stopped. She was looking behind him and then her eyes darted to the left. She seemed like she was in a state of panic, or maybe not panic but shock. " What's wrong?" he asked suddenly uncomfortable. As a shadowhunter he had always been on alert for anything weird or wrong and her expression was all wrong.
"Clary!" he said putting his hands on her shoulders trying to get her attention.
Her head whipped around and she was now starring him in the eyes. " Clary I-"
He stopped again, getting annoyed with his prolonged apology, because Clary had held up her hand to signal him to stop.
" Jace I met someone-" she whispered
What the crap! He thought. I know I was an idiot but she cant get over someone that fast can she? His face had frozen in an expression he thought was shock but it could have resembled anger, hatred, or agony. Any would have displayed his emotions at that moment. Clary started talking really fast and low looking at him frantically but all Jace could hear was the rapid beating of his heart and the screaming in his head. As he came out of his somewhat-self-induced coma he heard three words, 'help', 'our' and 'mom' come out of Clary's mouth.
"Jace! Did you hear a word I said? Are you even listening or are you having more fun listening to yourself in your head?" she was mad and frustrated. It was written all over her face.
"You met someone?" he asked sheepishly knowing she would find out he wasn't listening. " Right?"
"OH MY GOD!" she yelled her face flushing. " Yes, I met someone" she said taking deep breaths " she was by the hospital and she said she new how to help our mom!" Clary finished looking as incredulous as he felt.
"She?" he asked interested but not wanting to sound desperate added, "What's her name? Do I know her?" she looked down at the concrete and Jace took this time to watch as her hair fell delicately in front of her face.
He thought she was not going to reply to his questions because of the look on her face when she brought her gaze up to meet his. She looked pained and helpless but still had that little hint of panic.
" Her name is Madeleine," she said. That caught Jace's attention.
Surely not. He thought as his gaze froze on Clary's beautiful features.
"Madeleine Bellefleur. Do you know her?" she asked him.
It can't be! He thought, " We have to go to the institute." He said with an edge of hysteria notable even to him. " Now."

(Simon's pov)
He walked down the street scolding himself. Why did you do that! You are an idiot! Even as a vampire you can't get the girl! He realized that he had actually been saying these things out loud when he noticed the glances and glares he was getting from he people around him.
You just gave JACE the chance to still the one and only love you have…. no…. you just gave JACE (still spitting out the name in his head) the chance to get his one love back. You are to love Maia. He thought for the millionth time. Knowing he would be able to love her, with time. He also knew however, that nothing would be as potent or as pure as the feelings he had for Clary. Nothing could touch that.
He walked down the street no longer thinking of anything because EVERYTHING was too complicated and hard. He walked with no intended destination but ended up in front of the hospital. Simon walked inside and decided he should pay Cary's mom a visit.
As he walked through the halls for the second time that day nothing could have prepared him for the figure waiting for him just around the corner.
