Hi guys i'm sorry it took so long but something was wrong with my computer and i had to rewrite this chapter like 3 times and even then it still wasn't working and after that i just got a little agitated and it took me a little while to finish it. Also I wanted to clear something up in the last chapter i called Jace a wayland but in this story he is known as a herondale because his birth mother and father are alive so sorry about that. But anyway here is the second chapter.

Clary's P.O.V

"Calm down Red someone's going to think you're dying" He told me chuckling slightly.

I stood ther in shock not knowing what to do or say because standing there infront of me was none other than my ex-best friend

Jace Herondale

I stared at the golden haired boy in nothing but a towel around his waist. His hand over my mouth while his other hand was wrapped around my waist to hold me up from falling. I was still too in shock to move or talk so i did the only logical thing i could
/think of, I licked his hand. Obviously it was a bad idea because as soon as i did so jace pulled his hand from around my waist which i was not expecting at all so it caused me to fall to the floor, my skirt rode up as i hit the floor which was even
/worst because he now noticed what i was about to put on. Why is that bad you might as? I'll tell you why. It's bad because what i was going to put on after my shower consisted of nothing but a matching black and white lacy bra and thong set (that
/Izzy convinced me to get of course) and Jace's Blue and Gold high school football jersey that he gave me after he won his final game against our rival high school (After he washed it of course) I mean don't get me wrong i'm still upset with jace after
/what he's done to all of us but i still find comfort in the memories i have with Jace and i just couldn't bring myself to throw the old jersey along with a few other things jace had gotten me over the years.

Just as i was gaining hope that Jace hadn't noticed I seen him look down at the old jersery and then back at me giving me that signature smirk that almost made my heart melt. Almost being the key word here as i'm still significantly pissed at him.
/After what felt like an eternity of just us staring at each other i finally heard him talk. "I can see you missed me short stack" Jace said picking up the jersey. I wanted to say something back, some kind of smart comment or witty come back but i
/felt speachless. My head shot up as i heard multiple sets of footsteps coming towards Jace and I, I immediately felt my cheeks start to burn up and i knew i was probably about as red as my fiery hair at the moment as i realized how odd this is probably
/going to look to Jon, Alec, and Izzy."Clary i didn't get to tell you that Jace is stayi-" I heard Isabelle say before everyone realized it had already been to late and everybody fell silent looking between Jace and i. Barely a minute passed before
/I seen Jonathan lunge for Jace while screaming "YOU SON OF A BITCH STAY AWAY FROM MY SISTER" In a menacing tone. Jon landed on top of Jace causing him to drop the jersey in his hand and almost his towel along with it and Jon started throwing punches
/at him. Jace didn't even seem to be really putting up a fight which causes Alec Izzy and I even more shock as we all watched the two boys. A moment hadn't even passed before i seen Alec and Isabelle rush towards them trying to get Jon off of Jace
/which wasn't really working because the minute they got him off of the golden haired boy Jon ran starigh back to him and started punching again. I snapped out of my daze and realized i couldn't just sit here and watch jace get the shit kicked out
/of him, as much as i feel he's getting what he deserves i have to do something.

"EVERYONE CALM THE FUCK DOWN" I Screamed causing everyone to stop what they were doing and stare at me in shock. Screaming felt like it had taken all of my energy out of me because i felt myself getting light headed for the second time today and i grabbed
/onto the wall to steady myself. Alec seemed to notice because he was soon by my side helping me stand up straight. I gave him a small smile and began to talk again. "Jon get off jace and go sit in the living room. Izzy go with him and make sure he
/doesn't do anything stupid please." Jon did as i said and started walking away with Izzy soon behind him but not before apologizing for not telling me about jace and giving me a hug with alec falling behind the two after making sure i was okay and
/could stand on my own. I looked at Jace and realized he had a busted lib and a bloody nose.

"Sit down in the chair infront of the vanity" i told him and started looking for the first aid kit. after finding it i turned to jace and started cleaning the blood from his lip. He grabbed my wrist and tried to stop me, I gave him a questioning look.
/"I deserve this pain clare you don't have to help me" He said so low i almost didn't hear him. "Jace what are you talking about?" I asked him and for the first time in a year and a half i looked into his eyes expecting to see those amazing eyes that
/are always so golden they look as if they're glowing but that isn't what i seen, his eyes were dark and almost looked dull. "I hurt him Clare not just him I hurt Isabelle, Seb, And you most of all. I know what i did and i've had to live with that
/regret for the past year and a half, not a day goes by that i don't and i wish i could change it but i can't so i deserve this pain. Please don't help me" He said and turned his head away from me as if he didn't want me to look at him. "By the Angel.
/Herondale just shut up and let me help you" i told him not wanting to have this conversation right now hoping he would take the hint and i guess he did because after a moment he let go of my wrist and turned his face towards me again and soon i was
/done. "Clare do you mind giving me a minute to get dressed" Jace told me. I felt my face start to burn as i realized he was in fact only in a towel still. "Y-yeah sorry i totally forgot with all the commotion, if i would have realized i would've let
/you get dressed a while ago and i'm just rambling on now so i'm just gonna go and let you get dressed now okay yeah bye." I finished talking and practically ran out of the bathroom.

After he was done I went Into the bathroom and took a quick shower. I put the towel around myself and started drying my hair when I heard a knock at the door, Figuring it was just Izzy I told her to come in. I heard the door open and heard a small groan/whimper
/that did not sound like it could have came from Izzy. I quickly turned around and realized it was not Isabelle that i told to come in, It was yet again Jace Herondale. I stood there frozen for a moment before i seemed to be able to find my words.
/"Jonathan Christopher Herondale what the hell!" I said as i tried to cover myself even though it felt pointless. "Y-y-you said-" He stuttered as he spoke but i soon cut him off. " I know what I said but you should've made it clear it was you I thought
/you were Isabelle!" I whisper yelled at him not wanting to cause another commotion " I'm sorry i just wanted to ask if you knew what room i was sleeping in since I let alec choose first and i really don't want to go ask him and face your brother right
/now" He told me. "Ugh I'll go ask in a moment just let me get dressed. You can go wait in my room i guess, Its the room rght across from this one." I told him and he did as i said and walked out. After i got dressed i started walking towards the living
/room. I guess i understand why Alec and Jace are staying at mine and izzys appartment considering it is huge. We have 6bedrooms 3 bathrooms I have my own art room and of course izzy made one of the rooms her own walk in closet because why not.
The

best part is it's only a 5 minute walk from campus. This appartment is all courtesy of mine and Izzys parents Valentine and Jocelyn Morgenstern and Robert and Maryse Lightwood, Once they heard we were attending Idris U Last year they wouldn't even
/let us think about staying at the dorms or one of the sorority houses So both parents chipped in and bought us this apartment. Izzy and i freaked out when we first seen it because of how huge it is. My thoughts came to a stop as i finally walked into
/the living room. I quickly asked Alec which room he was taking. "I'm taking the one acroos from Izzy and Jon is staying the night too and he's taking the room next to mine" Alec told me. "Okay thanks for letting me know i'm gonna go to sleep now guy's
/i just really want this day to be over with" I said and walked away. Once i got into the hallway i stopped walking because i realized the only room left for jace to take was the one right across from mine. Ugh just my luck. I have a feeling that no
/matter how hard i try i'm not going to be able to keep my dostance from a certain Golden haired boy. I start walking towards my room and as soon as i open my door the sight in front of me makes me want to fall on the floor laughing and punch Jace
/at the same time. Sitting on my bed is Jace Herondale looking at my sketchbook with his eyes wide in horror. He must've heard me walk in because i soon see his head turn towards me and his eyes immediately change from horror to anger.

Jace P.O.V

"You drew me getting eaten by a duck!?" I say to Clary furiously. I mean i knew she was mad at me but she knows how scared i am i mean how much i hate ducks. I still remember for halloween one year when i was 17 and clary was 16 for halloween or All Hallows
/Eve as Clary likes to call it she had just found out about my hatred for ducks and she convinced all the girls in our group to dress up like ducks, well lets just say dear Clarrisa's little prank did not end well for myself or her. I was soon snapped
/out of my memory by Clary literally falling to the floor with laughter. "I'm sorry i just didn't think you would ever see it and in my defense i was very mad at you" she got out between laughs, Clarys laugh felt contagious as i was soon falling to
/the floor laughing along with her. Soon enough Alec Izzy and Jon were in the room with us and as soon as they seen the drawing they all did the same as Clary and I and fell to the floor laughing along with us. "Baby Doll that sketch is amazing we
/should put in in an art museum right next to the Mona Lisa" I heard Alec say causing everyone to laugh even more. Soon the laughter died down and everyone just laid on the floor talking about old memories and for the first time in a while i felt like
/everything was going to be okay. That went on for a while Until everyone seemed to get tired and started walking to their rooms. I quickly asked clary what room i was taking and after she told me i went into my room and practically collapsed into
/the bed soon drifting off to sleep.

I felt as if i was awoken way to fast so i grabbed my phone and looked at the time and it read 11:28. I then realized what it was that woke me, I heard crying from acroos the hall so i got up to see who it was only then did i realize it was coming from
/Clary's room. I knocked on the door there was no answer I just heard the sobs getting louder as the seconds went by and i just walked in. I realized she was having a nightmare i then quickly got into her bed and started rubbing her arm gently and
/then i realized what today was, It was the day her grandmother Seraphina died. Clary was always close with her and when she died Clary took it the hardest I'm pretty sure she even took it harder than Valentine. I heard clarys sobs getting louder so
/i started shaking her a bit to try and get her up. "Clare It's just a bad dream wake up" I told her and she soon woke up. I seen her eyes flutter open and look at me. "Please don't leave usJace" Us?What does she mean us?She

must have miss spoken she's probably just too tired to realize what she's saying."Hey i'm not going anywhere I promise. I'll still be here when you wake up in the morning just try to get some rest" I felt her relax and soon enough i heard her

breathing become more smooth and even i knew she had fallen asleep and i fell asleep almost immediately after.
