All Characters except the ones, I have made up belong to Cassandra Clare.

"Clary, she was horrible!" Jace exclaimed flopping down on the Queen sized bed, that was currently sporting some black silk sheets. Clary wasn't listening to Jace though, she was more interested in what type of food he had brought back, hopefully her favourite; Sweet and Sour Pork with some fried rice and spring rolls.

Clary dug her food out happily, along with the plastic fork that Jace had gotten her instead of the sticks; she really couldn't use those things. "Clary? Clary, are you listening to me?" Jace asked sitting up looking at Clary who now had already started to eat the food that he had brought back. "did you not have dinner?" Jace asked, Clary stopped eating and put down her Sweet and Sour chicken box and looked back to Jace.

Clary shook her head, "nah, I wasn't hungry when they were dishing up." Clary said simply picking up her stiff and the bag and sitting next to Jace, "So, what were you saying?" Clary asked smiling shyly at Jace who groaned and flopped back hanging off of the other side of the bed, whilst his feet hung next to Clary.

Being so short Clary had to shuffle closer to the top before she could lie dangling next to Jace, once Clary was sure she wasn't going to fall off the bed she leaned back and dangled beside Jace, the ends of her hair touching the carpeted floor. Clary turned her head smiling brightly as she looked at Jace, he smiled back watching his bestfriend.

"As I was saying, she was horrible, didn't even get to bed her- you know!" Jace said to Clary, Angrily. Clary groaned shaking her head, if he carried on the way he did with girls he was going to get one of them pregnant and that did not sit well with Clary. Jace chuckled watching Clary shake her head at him knowing that she disapproved of the way he acted.

"Jace, you know you might end up getting one of your 'things' pregnant, then what would you do, huh?" Clary asked annoyed. Jace glared at Clary and sat up and began to dig through the bag of food he had brought, Sighing Clary also pushed herself back up, but slid off of the bed so she was standing "Jace, your my bestfriend I don't want you to end up ruining- actually no, uh; making a mistake and not being able to handle it, you're not ready for a responsibility like that- what I'm trying to say is if you keep on acting the way you do, you might slip up, and what do you know a year on down the line your sitting at home with a baby whilst everyone else your age is out having fun-" Clary exclaimed throwing her hands around trying to get him to understand more, but it just made Jace less focused.

"Clary I won't slip up, when have I ever slipped up? I can handle myself anyway, I don't need you banging on about shit in my ear, I have enough things to worry about without you going on about what I do in my own time!" Jace exclaimed standing as well, then pointing an accusing finger at Clary. Clary wasn't intimidated in the slightest, she just let Jace have his little rant and then with her right hand she slapped his out of her face.

"I think you should go, Jace. I was only looking out for you. We'll talk in the morning, I'm tired and you are clearly angry at me so just- go." Clary said calmly picking up the bag for the food and then putting the containers in the bag and shoving it into Jaces hands, then pushing him towards the door, Clary opened the it for him and looked at him expectantly.

"Are you being serious?" Jace asked talking to Clary as if she had said the most stupidest thing in the world, Clary looked away from him and waited until she could hear his footsteps leaving the room, once she did she slammed the door closed; hearing the walls rattle and vibrate with the force.

Once Clary went over what had just happened, she got in bed and managed after just over half an hour, to fall asleep.

Walking in to the training room, Clarys eyes automatically looked for Jace, when their eye's met Clary didn't waste anytime turning away from him. Clary quickly walked over to the weapons wrack and pulled out her Kali stick and began her training.

Stretching her neck Clary glared at the dummy in front of her; sadly imagining Jace instead. It had been ages since they had fought, that might have been a little spat but Clary was angry and she was ready to take it out on the dummy. Raising the Kali stick, Clary began to weave it skilfully around her fingers so it was spinning, leaving blurry lines only as it moved.

Clary began to kick and hit the dummy with the stick, a few loose strands hair slowly became stuck to her cheeks with sweat that begun to build up along her fore head. Jace walked quietly over to Clary and placed a hand on her shoulder, before he could even move he was beneath Clary, her hips straddling his waist and the Kali stick she was holding was against his neck.

Clary seemed to realise who she had taken down and quickly stood up, getting off of Jace. Clary held out her hand "I'm so sorry, Jace- I didn't mean to do that I swear, it was a mistake, please forgive me?" Clary rambled breathing heavily as Jace took her hand, Clary pulled him up to his feet and he began laughing at her.

"Clary, I think I deserved that after the way I spoke to you last night, about that I'm sorry. I didn't mean to get so angry- I've just been under a lot of stress lately and Alec is in a mood with me, god everyone is in a mood with-" Jace also rambled pulling Clary in for a hug, Clary laughed lightly pulling away from Jace before he could finish what he was saying.

"well maybe if you weren't such an ass to people then maybe people wouldn't always be in a mood with you, but anyway it's fine you are forgiven since I know how hard you find it to say sorry." Clary laughed patting Jaces right shoulder, Jace growled lowly saying a few swear words that Clary never caught. "what was that?" Clary asked raising an eyebrow at Jace, he chuckled and just shrugged his shoulders.

"nothing, I swear..." Jace laughed, Clary shook her head and passed Jace the Kali stick then began to walk out of the training room, "Hey, Clary wait up! Were are you going?" Jace shouted dropping the Kali stick and running up to Clary so he was beside her.

"I'm going to see my brother, remember he's back in the city?" Clary asked, her red hair slightly puffier than before. In Jaces head it only just seemed to click, Sebastian, hated Jace- they did not get on at all and it was all over Clary.

"Oh, right! Yeh!" Jace said over enthusiastically rubbing the back of his neck. looking around the room Jace saw Izzy and smiled at her, she smiled back. Jace hadn't realised he had stopped walking until he heard the training room door swing closed and Clarys laughter slightly as she walked away down the corridor.

Jace quickly ran after Clary.

"CLARY!" Jace shouted now walking down the girls corridor, Clary peaked her head out of her room and smiled at Jace cheekily.

"Yep?" she asked not opening the door anymore than enough for her head.

"Why did you just run away, you can't drop a bomb-shell like that on me and then just walk away laughing. Your brother hates me, for god knows what reason and you are laughing!" Jace groaned slumping against the wall in front of Clarys door. Clary smiled then shrugged her shoulders that Jace couldn't actually see.

"Well I'm portaling to go get him now, his flight landed 20 minutes ago." Clary exclaimed a smile so big on her face that it looked like her cheeks might just rip so her smile could get bigger.

"oh, uh okay- I'll see you later then, I guess. Yeh?" Jace asked slowly, Clary smiled and nodded her head. Jace smiled then walked away. just as Clary was about to pull her head back inside, Jace turned around and laughed "You know Red, you really shouldn't do what you did in the training room again, it wouldn't end well- for either of us. You look beautiful by the way." Jace said sending Clary a wink. From what Jace could see her hair was now loosely curled and she was sporting a little amount of make-up, she really did look beautiful to him.

Jace was out of sight in seconds and Clary pulled herself in to her room, slowly pushing the door closed. is it meant to hurt like this? She asked herself thinking Jace was only joking around with her, she wanted what he said to mean something to not only her but to him as well, but she thought it didn't and that it never would.
