-Sparks Fly and Intervention-

Disclaimer: I own nothing but this plot.

Jace's POV

Clary gave me a last smile before she walked away from me with Sebastian. I was glad that Sebastian had forgiven me. I knew I shouldn't do what I did to Clary yesterday. What was wrong with me? Attacking a girl I barely know, an innocent and kind girl as an addition to the burden on my shoulder called guilt and humiliation.

I slammed my locker shut and walked myself home. My mind kept on whirling around the subject 'Clary'. I had been with a lot of girls but none of them was like her. The way she painted yesterday, got me sucked into the painting and it was not even completed. Mesmerized by the strokes of brush by her gentle and careful hands, the way her face was gazing at the canvas, in her eyes, it shows that she knew what to do, she knew where to go. And that amazed me to the point that I lose my sanity.

I had reached my house without even me realising it. My feet were so smart… It just knows where to go like bumping into Clary yesterday… GODDAMN IT!

Clary, Clay, Clary… she was all over my mind. Her name, her beautiful red hair, her sparkling green eyes and that smile, oh that smile and that lips that bear her smile, so soft and just, perfect. I could never run from her shadow.

I couldn't run away from my past too. It kept on haunting me. The angered face of my parents and disbelief on Alec and Isabelle's face, how could I explain to them that it was not me, I was trapped! I had fooled around as many as I lose my counts, but that night, I was trapped. I didn't do anything but nobody would believe in me as there was no proof that could prove I was not guilty.

Since that night, I had vowed to myself that I would never return to my old self. I don't want to do the same mistake again over here. Not with Clary breathing around my air.

Alec was on his bed with his laptop on his lap. I ignored him and put my stuff on the table. I was about to head to the shower when Isabelle jumped in front of me.

"Jace!"

"ARGGH! Damn you Isabelle, don't you ever do that again!"

"Hehehe, sorry Jace, hey can we get some food, I am starving,"

"Why don't you just cook, God make you a woman," I said trying to walk past her but she blocked my way. I rolled my eyes in annoyance to my only one little sister.

"Don't you remember what happened when I cooked?"

Then in remembered, the whole family once suffered from stomach ache for like 2 days because of her so called spaghetti Bolognese. My eyes widen in horror of that memory.

"Shit…Don't cook! We'll go and get some food later, but let me take a bath first,"

"Okay, I will be waiting in my room," she said and let me pass.

"Don't forget Max," I said as I walked pass by her.

"Of course I won't,"

I loved my sister but she can be such a pain in the ass sometime. I turned on the shower. The water was hot but I immediately turned it off, I love the feeling of the temperature of the shower dropped. Cold shower never failed o calmed me down and put my mind back to the state of sanity. As soon as I was sated, I turned off the shower and stepped out of the shower.

When I got back to my room, Alec was still on the bed with his laptop.

"Hey, me, Isabelle and Max are going out to get some food, you're coming?" I asked Alec and for a moment his attention was on me.

"Yeah, yeah sure," he said and turned off his computer. I got dressed and went downstairs with my hair still wet but slicked back. Isabelle and Max were waiting for Alec and me, Isabelle was checking out her nails and Max had his full intention to his PSP. I sincerely doubt that he could focus like he was playing his PSP in school.

"Ready?" I said they answered yes at the same time.

"Where are we going to eat?" Max asked as we got into the car. I sat at the passenger seat as Alec would be driving.

"Taki's?" Isabelle's said.

"Sure," Alec agreed and drove out of our residence. Alec can drive but he preferred walking to school. Our parents leave the car in case of emergency.

Isabelle talked about her cheer leading team and Max about how annoying Isabelle was. Alec was remarkably quite. He seemed lost in his own thought. He would usually calmed Isabelle and Max who was fighting like a child at the back but he ignored them this time.

"Shut up guys, or I'll make you both pay for your own food!" I said and both of them shut up.

We finally reached at Taki's and we got in. Luckily, there were table for us. Taki's was usually packed with people as the food was good. When we took our seat, Alec eyes widened as he looked at someone, his mouth mouthed 'shit'.

He was looking toward a guy, with spiked hair and golden eyes.

Alec's POV

I parked the car and killed the engine. We were here at Taki's. I can't say that I was not hungry, I am but I felt off. You know those feelings that sort of blocks out all the things you wanted to do and just murder you mood. I knew Jace sensed my not-in-the-mood moment because he kept on looking at me like there was something wrong in me.

Yeah, there was something wrong. I don't know what was happening to me. It all started with my new history teacher. He kept on shooting looks at me when I was in his class. That was not the case. The problem was I found the way he looked at me was quite… intriguing. The way his cat-like eyes piercing through mine, how I felt like he was talking to me and only me, I was thoroughly sucked in his presence. God, Alec, stop it. What were you thinking? He was a guy and your teacher for goddamned sake. I must stop this feeling I don't know where all of this came from but- shit…

It was him. I saw him. All of my siblings were seated but I just stood there, frozen. I saw Jace looking at me at the very corner of my eyes but I don't care anymore. As if feeling my presence, he looks toward me and smiled. Something stirred inside me and my heart beats faster… what the fucking Hell?! Oh God…no…

He started walking toward us and I was just too frozen to even move at all.

"Hey, you are one of my students right? Alexander Lightwood?"

His voice popped my bubble of thoughts.

"Ye-Yeah, I was in your history class this morning,"

"Oh, it was very nice meeting you here, this are your siblings?" he asked and I was having a hard time of breathing right. This was just…oh God, I was so embarrassing.

"Yeah, they are my siblings, this is my younger brother, Jace," Jace gave him a polite smile and shook his hands. "This is Isabelle, my sister," she smile and waved a 'hi' to him. "And this is my youngest brother, Max," Max shook his hands.

"It was a pleasure of meeting you… Lightwoods here, have a nice meal, I have to go now," he said with a smile and he shook my hands. Strikes of tiny electricity ran through my veins and I felt a piece of paper in my hands. "See you in class Alexander," he said and walked away.

"See you too," I called back to him and he just gave me a slight smile and head out toward the door. I took a seat next to Jace.

"Your history teacher was hot Alec!" Isabelle as usual, can't help but voice out her opinion.

"He is my teacher," I said to her. "Order up," I said and I raised my hands to call a waiter.

"A teacher huh?" I heard Jace's said so softly that I doubt Isabelle or Max could had heard him. I shot a look at him and he just looked through the menu. A waitress came to take our orders and I slip the paper inside my pocket and order my meal.

Clary's POV

My mind was detouring to a lot of places even with biology text book open before my eyes. My pens and pencils scattered all over the places, my halfway notes were forgotten as soon as I found them uninteresting to be compared to… Jace… Jace… Jace… shit…

Oh God! Why was he all over my mind? All of him, his hair, that blond halo of him, his eyes, luminous gold, his tan skin, his strong arms that held me close to him, that soft lips of him that smashed mine. My eyes were closed as I imagined him, with his lips on me.

"Clary! Dinner time!" Sebastian's voice broke my dreams of Jace. Uggh, I hate him so much.

"Coming!" I called out loud. I organized my hurricane of stuff on the table before I left my room for dinner.

Sebastian, being the 'nice son' he was, helped my mom set the dinner table. I took my seat and slumped on the chair, putting on my most uninterested face.

"What's up with the sour face honey?" my mom looked at me with slight concern written in her face.

"Nothing, I was just tired,"

"Jace, ehem, ehem," Sebastian fake coughed Jace's name and I sat up straight with my eyes bulged at him with my index finger pointed at him. "Whoo…I am so scared, somebody's mad…" Sebastian faked a scared gesture that only made me want to slap him so hard in his face till his tooth fall off.

"Who's Jace?" my dad's voice rolled in confusion. He just got back from work. He still got his shirt and slacks on.

"Nobody," I said at the same time Sebastian said "Somebody," I turned to look at him with my utmost evil look but his expression danced with amusement.

Dad threw us his confused and suspicious look and I made a gesture for him to just drop the topic. He took a deep breath and turned to look at my mom who walked up to him and kissed him on his lips.

"Welcome home," mom said and Valentine smiled.

Sebastian took a seat next to me. I could see from the very corner of my eyes that he smirked at me and shook his head. I really do felt like killing right there.

Our dinner was filled with normal conversation like school and work and stuff. The subject 'Jace' was fortunately forgotten.

After dinner, Sebastian and I helped to wash the dishes.

"Hey, come by my room later?" Sebastian said.

"For what,"

"I need to talk to you about something,"

"Fine,"

We finished washing the dishes and we excused ourselves to our room. I went to my room first, changed to a fresher shirt that was wet a little. I knocked twice before entering Sebastian's room. He was on his study table, diligently writing something, his face was serious and almost not like Sebastian-the-brother, that was Sebastian-the-excellent-student. He stopped writing and relaxed his feature.

"What do you want to talk about?" I said and sat on his bed.

"Okay, don't be mad, but I want you to be careful with Jace,"

"Why? What's up?"

"Alec never told me that Jace was coming back and-"

"Alec don't have to tell you everything, what are you guys, gay partners,"

"Clary listens to me first will you?!"

"Okay, okay fine, I'm all ears,"

"Okay, Alec was a good brother, he loves his siblings and whatever happens, to the point of Isabelle got a cheer competition, he told me, he talked about Jace too, but he never told me that Jace was coming back to US, I knew it when I caught both of you yesterday. When I asked Alec, he was quite hesitant to talk about Jace, when it came to the subject, why he's back from London while he was in a better school back there. He said something happened but he won't tell me what. It was quite suspicious, so don't-"

"You cannot just assume things,"

"I know that, but please Clary, be careful with him, I don't trust that guy much,"

"Sebastian, it's not your business to tell me what-"

"It is my business! You are my sister! I won't let anything happen to you!"

"Sebastian, listen, nothing will happen,"

"Just once Clary, listen to me,"

"I listened to you so many times. Why don't you go and mind your own business and hands off mine," I said and stormed off his room. I was so mad at him. He was just assuming things and he had no right to tell me what to do when he just don't know anything yet.

I closed the door to my room and lay flat on my bad. I exhaled heavily and closed my eyes, intending to calm myself down, but then my phone rang. I groaned and searched for it under my pillow. When my hands found it, I looked at the screen. And series of unfamiliar number was displayed. I pressed answer.

"Hello?"
