JACE POV.

''I didn't think she hit her head that hard, mom'', I said

''Now Jace, that girl has been through a lot in the recent week, don't make it hard for to settle in with us, it's hard enough'', she said, and just as I was about to make my comeback, she walked away. 'Geez mom, do think I purposely tried to make her fall?', I thought to myself while watching her, waiting for her to wake up.. Obviously if I knew she was hurt I wouldn't have just stood there.

''Well, I really must be leaving'', I could hear Mrs. Coffee telling my mom, 'thank god, she's leaving' I muttered to myself!

''sure get clary to give me a call when she wakes up, and would you please make her go to the doctor, she's been out for almost ten minutes,..Bye!'', Mrs. Coffee said, she mustn't care very much about clary if she's leaving already. She was gone about 5 minutes when mum found her phone, she left it on the kitchen table.

''Jace we'll be back in 10 minutes, we just have to give her phone, she might need it, watch Clary, make sure she's ok and if she wakes up ask her about going to the doctor, ok love?'' mom said the order loudly.

''ok mom'', I rolled my eyes up to heaven! A few seconds later they were gone, and it was just me and an unconscious girl in the house, what fun(!).

''Ouch'', a moan came from the couch. She looked around her, disorientated, ''what-- you..'' she said whilst grinding her teeth, today just wasn't my day was it? First mom, now her..

''Yes, it's me, although I prefer to go by Jace, just in case you're wondering.'' I said, trying not to sound too irritated by the fact that everyone thinks I meant to make her fall.

''I know who you are'' she said coldly, rubbing her head.

''o--k'', I replied..Awkward silence, crap. 'It's hard enough' mom had said, in other words: make an effort.

''So, uh... mom and dad are gone to give her phone, she left it here...they should be back soon'' I said nervously. '' Oh and Mrs. Coffee said you should to the doctor, she..'' I was cut off.

''I'm fine'', she said bluntly. I could she waiting for me to move from in front of her so she could get up, so I moved reluctantly.

''Ah'', she let a squeal out of her as she tripped over her own foot, I caught her just before she fell again, now no one could say I wasn't trying. I held her up by her waist and her big emerald green eyes stared deep into mine, I broke the silence first.

''I'm taking you to the doctor'', I said firmly, I wasn't going to let her hurt herself again, she clearly needed a doctor. Before she got the chance to argue with me I grabbed the keys and pulled her along gently by her waist.

''No arguments'', I added, just in case she changed her mind

CLARY POV

Even though the doctors was 'a 5 minute drive away' according to Jace, silence filled the space between us and made it seem like forever.

We eventually reached the doctors. I could see Jace was trying to park the car as close to the door as possible while I was trying to calculate my chances of getting a clean getaway and I must admit that they didn't look very good.

''wait here a minute'' Jace spoke suddenly as he got out of the car, walked quickly around my side of the car, opened the door and held his hand out to help me get out of the car without falling.

''what, did you think I was going to try runaway or something?'' I asked irritated now.

''no.. I know you were going to try runaway'' he replied with a grin on his face.

''You know.. when I read about you on your parents application, it didn't mention that you were so pushy'', I said shoving his hand out of my way and hopping out of the car.

''ok, suit yourself'' he muttered, shaking his head. He walked close beside me, I could see his hands ready to catch me if I fell again, which I wasn't going to.

We walked into the waiting room and shock hit me... there were about 12 people waiting to go in, god we're going to be here all day, AGH!!

''ugh'', I moaned, ''can't we just go home'', I pleaded. He didn't reply but the expression on his face said it all: I had no hope.

''please?'', I added in, hopeful.

''no...way'', he said, amused by my efforts.

We sat on the only 2 seats left in the room: two squashy corner seats, side by side, great(!)

''Looks like we have a long wait, huh?'' he said, trying to ease the atmosphere between us. I just mumbled and agreed. Last time I was in the doctors it was with mom, I was sick with the vomit bug. Being back in a doctor's office brought everything flooding back. I could feel my eyes welling up with tears 'c'mon clary, don't cry' I pleaded with myself, but it didn't work and the tears came overflowing down my cheeks.

''are you ok?'' Jace asked concerned, I turned my face away from him.

''Mm-hm'', I managed, ''I just need a minute outside'' and I got up and left.

Once outside, the cool air soothed me, I felt my parents watching over me and I didn't feel as alone. I sat outside with my back against the wall and my head in my arms, crying.

After a few minutes of sobbing, I felt a presence next to me, I lifted my head up to see Jace standing there with his hands tucked into his pockets. I wiped my tears away and looked straight ahead of me.

''what?'' I asked harshly.

''I'm here if you want to talk you know'', he responded politely. I glared up at him.

''I'm fine thanks'', I muttered. His face fell flat.

''ok, well... I'm just going to sit here and, uh..wait , and if you change your mind then...I'll be here'', he said and sat down beside me, his back against the wall.

After a few minutes of silence, I decided to try again,

''Can we please..please go back to the house?'' I asked with pleading eyes. He didn't reply. He just got up and stood in front of me.

''if you're sure you don't need a doctor...'' he said and I nodded back. Then he held out his hand cautiously to help me up and this time..I took it.

''I don't bite, just to let you know..!'' I stated, smiling sincerely for the first time since I'd gotten here.

''I didn't want to risk it'' he grinned back at me ''we better get back quick'' he continued,''mum and dad haven't met you conscious yet!'', he laughed as we made our way to the car.
