What had I done? I had just kissed Clary... while I was still dating Aline. I slammed my head against the steering wheel. What was going on?

My mind couldn't process what had just happened. I knew I couldn't tell Aline. But I could tell a best friend. I headed for the Lightwoods house and sent a text to Alec telling him I was on my way to his.

He replied with a simple okay.

Without hesitation, I started the car and pulled out of the Fray's driveway. I nearly broke the speed limit on my way to the Lightwoods but I didn't care. Sure, I was a cocky, egotistical jerk at times but I still had feelings.

Aline was there for me on my worst days, she cared about me. Honestly, I thought she would be the one cheating on me.

I snorted and continued on my way to Alec's.

...

I knocked on the door and waited for someone to answer. I looked around their front garden and saw many beautiful flowers. Some were so beautiful they reminded me of Clary...

NO. Stop this right now. Jace, buddy, You're going out with Aline.. Not Clary. Get her out of your head right now. I thought to myself. And I was right... I mean, I usually am.

I smirked at myself and the door opened.

"Aline?" I said shocked. I didn't know she was home. " Where's Alec?"

Aline smiled and went to kiss me. I turned my head at the last moment so she kissed my cheek.

"What's wrong Jace?" She asked me, concerned.

I wanted to say, "oh you know, cheated on you by kissing Clary... But Your right, thats not a big deal."

What I did say, "Nothing at all. I just need to see Alec right now."

"Oh, well sure. He's in his room."

"Thanks." I said and then made my way to his room.

I knocked on his door twice and entered.

"Jace, what's up?" He asked me.

"I kissed Clary. I was driving her home from detention and before I knew it, we were kissing... Oh man. I'm a crap boyfriend." I laughed without humour. I did feel guilty, but some part of me was telling me this was a good thing. Maybe me and Aline weren't meant to be.

Alec gave me a weird look.

"You cheated on my sist-?" He nearly shouted. I put my hand on his mouth and glared at him, warning him to shut up.

"Alec, calm down. Remember last year, around may time? She cheated on me with Seb. I still took her back. But that was when I loved her. I'm not sure how I feel about her now."

Alec grabbed my wrist and pulled my hand away from his mouth.

"Firstly ew. Secondly, If you don't feel the same, why are you with her?"

He had a point. But I did love Aline... So much. Maybe that was why I couldn't break up with her.

"I do love her Alec. I just can't break up with her." I replied. Jeez, I was a bad person.

"Well , what are you going to do? Keep leading her on?"

"That is exactly what I am going to do. Thank you!" I shouted happily. I grabbed Alec's face and kissed his forhead.

"Jace!" He shouted at me but I was already running out of the door.

"JACE!" I heard him shout again. I ignored him and ran out of his house. I needed to talk to Clary.

...

I walked up Clary's path and knocked on her front door. There were those beautiful flowers again...

The door opened to a red headed girl. Clary. She looked shocked to see me. I hid my smirk and spoke to her.

"Clary, I need to talk to you. Can I come in?" She nodded and opened the door further.

Clary walked into the living room and sat down on the sofa.

"Jace, about what happened, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have kissed you-" She started, but I walked over to her and kissed her again. She kissed me back straight away and put her arms around my neck, tangling her fingers in my hair.

I ran my tongue across her bottom lip, asking for an enterence. She granted it, deepening the kiss. God, she was a good kisser. I didn't want to pull back, but I needed too.

I pulled away and grinned at her.

"Doe's that answer your question?"

Clary smiled. She really was beautiful. I might need to go buy her some flowers just to prove that she was.

Whoa Jace! Since when did you become all romantic? What happened to your playerish ways?

I shaked my head. The voice in the back of my head was becoming irritating.

"Clary, I like you. And I'm not sure how I feel about that. Sure, I'm still with Aline but for some reason, when I'm with you, you lighten everything up for me. I'm not saying that you should go out with me, but... Consider it? I know I know I'm with Aline, but I don't have the balls to dump her after a year! Please. I know you could help me get over it."

Clary took a step away from me and looked at the ground. Oh great. I bet she thinks I'm a loser for saying all of that.

"I don't know Jace... I just... This is alittle to much."

Then, I felt as if my heart had just dropped.
