Alright people's I've been getting some good reviews, so thank you for

the boost in my ego. Just a heads up this whole chapter is basically the last

chapter from Jace's point of view, cause I know that you want to know

what he mumbles under his breath.

Disclaimer: I don't own anything having to do with the mortal instruments. Sad but true.

JPOV

Beep...beep...beep..beep..BEEP. What the hell, I thought, oh right the alarm clock. BEEEEP! I quickly slammed down on the off button to stop the insistent beeping. Jesus Christ you'd think I had personally bitch slapped its mother, the way it kept beeping at me. Note to self, get quieter alarm clock.

I rolled out of bed and grabbed some fresh clothes, and made my way to the bathroom, to yell at Clary to get out, like I do every morning. I got to the bathroom and was just about to bang on the door, when I noticed that there wasn't a sound coming from the other side of the door. As proof of my complete lack of respect for people's privacy, I barged in only to find it completely empty. That's odd, maybe she got up early this morning. Either way I appreciated the extra bathroom time.

I quickly stripped out of my jamma pants and boxers and stepped into the shower. I turned the water on to medium and let the water roll down my back. Slowly working out the knots in my neck. I'd been having some problems sleeping lately. Don't get me wrong, I'm no stranger to restless nights, but these were different. Normally I can't sleep because I don't want to have dreams of my past. But lately, my problem wasn't my past, it was my present. Clary to be exact. She was the most annoying, beautiful, self-riotous, talented, moody, delicate person I had ever met, and I was loosing sleep over her.

I turned off the water and wiped my self off with a towel and put on my clothes. A pair of blue denim, white t-shirt, and a pair of black converse. I walked out of the bathroom and jogged down the stairs and headed to the kitchen. From the smell of it, Izzy had not cooked, thank the Angel. Izzy was good at a many things, but that girl burns microwave burritos. I grabbed a plate down from the cupboard and grabbed two eggs, two pieces of bacon, and two pieces of toast. I sat down at the table and poured some OJ, that was left on the table, into a glass that had already been set out.

Everyone was at the table by now eating, except for Clary. "Hey," voicing my question. "Where's Fray?"

They all turned to me. "We thought she was with you." Izzy said.

"Why the hell would she be with me?" I asked. Izzy gave me a look that said, 'Don't play dumb'

"Well she's obviously not with me, so where is she."

"Maybe she's sick," suggested Alec.

"Someone should go check on her." Izzy said, getting out of her chair.

"Wait," I said. "If she's sick she wont want to be disturbed."

"Yeah, but what if she just overslept?" Izzy quistioned.

"Oh come on, Fray? Oversleeping? I don't think so. Let's just leave her in peace."

"Maybe I should bang a pot next to her head and yell really loud." Max chimed in unhelpfully.

"Fine" She finally conceded, sitting back in her seat to finish her breakfast. When everyone was finished I announced that it was time to go and I grabbed my leather jacket, aviator sunglasses and my bag. We had all finally piled into the car, Alec driving, which makes sense because it's his car, but still cheezes me off, when Clary came bounding down the porch steps and into the seat behind me. Oh crap, oh crap, oh crap, oh crap, oh crap, I thought, she is gonna be pissed.

"Just made it I see." Izzy chimed in as Alec pulled out of the driveway.

"Um, yeah, I forgot to set my alarm. How come none of you came and woke me up?" Clary said awkwardly. Great, just my luck, the one time I try and do something nice for her, and the impeccable Fray sleeps in.

"We figured you didn't feel good and were staying home." Izzy said.

"Ah, I see. Well next time let's check, just to be sure." Clary said as if she was talking to a baby.

"We were going to, but Jace said that if you were sick, you wouldn't want to be disturbed." Izzy chimed in. Great, now she's gonna throw a bitch fit.

"Thanks a lot Jace," Her voice dripping with sarcasm. "I almost missed school because of you."

And there it is. I turned around in my seat so I could look at her. Even though she was a little ruffled from hurrying, she still looked amazing. In fact her slightly tousled curls made her look sexy, even. I didn't voice this out loud, though, what I said in reality was, "Yes because that would be a tragedy. And for your information, I was trying to do something nice for you."

This brought her up short. Good. "Well, don't do it again." She finally said in a defeated voice.

"What, something nice for you?" I asked incredulously. "Fine, next time I think your sick, I'll have Max come running in there banging on a pot with a spoon yelling at you to get up." I said, recalling the earlier conversation at breakfast.

"Jerk-off" Was all she said.

I turned even more directly to her and was just about to tell her that she probably thought about me jerking-off, when I caught Izzy's eye. She conveyed a message to me with her eyes that reminded my of our earlier conversation. "You know if you stopped being such a douche to her, I'd bet she'd talk to you." I quickly shut my mouth and turned around in my seat. "Yeah and when exactly does she start talking to me?" I mumbled quietly enough that I knew that no one would here me.

We pulled up to the school, and of course had to park as far away as possible, because we were running late. Which I guess was good in hindsight, seeing as Clary was able to catch us before we left.

We piled out of the car and Alec quickly shuffled off, probably to go make out with his sparkly boyfriend in the janitor's closet or something. Izzy, Clary, and I started to make our way to the building together, until Iz spotted Simon and ran off to meet him. How she did that in high heels I will never understand. That left me and Clary to fill in the space. Wonderful, I thought to myself.

"Do you think they'll be serving mystery meat, or last weeks tacos?" I finally asked in a sad attempt to make conversation.

"I don't know, I usually pack lunch so I- Oh shit." She said totally pulling a face-palm fail move. I stopped mid-stride. Oh no, my insecure little voice squeaked, did she realize that she was having a normal convo with me and is totally disgusted with herself? Don't be stupid, that would never happen, pull yourself together, you sound like such a girl.

With that little Sargent pep talking going through my mind I asked, "What?"

"Nothing, just in my rush to get out the door this morning, I forgot to pack lunch."

Despite my talking to, I still sighed in relief, and I started walking again. "Oh that's all, you can just share with me." I said before I could think about what I was saying. I have really got to start working on that whole thinking before speaking thing.

Now it was her turn to stop. "You would share your lunch with me?" She asked me with- Were those Bambi eyes? This girl is trying to kill me.

"Um, well, yeah." I said nervously. This is so stupid, I do not get nervous, I'm Jace Wayland, I am the Alpha male. Yeah, that's right, people grovel before me! And I will have a normal conversation with Clary, if it's the last thing I do.

"Just out of the kindness of your heart?" She asked warily.

"Contrary to common belief Fray, I do have a heart. And there is kindness in it." Whoa, where did that come from?

"Well if there is, I've never seen it." She said walking again.

Mayday, Mayday, I'm screwing this up, quick make up for it. "Sure you have, you saw just now. When I offered to share my lunch with you." Ouch, I don't think that came out like it did in my head.

"You'll have to forgive me Jace, but since you've been making my life hell since I moved here, so I'm a little bit wary that you would all of sudden start being nice to me." She said. Had I really been making her life a hell? I knew I didn't make it easy, but I didn't know I was totally ruining it for her. Damn, I really am an ass.

"Look, Clary, people have changes of heart all the time. It's really not all that uncommon, in fact were reading about one in English." Not knowing where it was coming from, but deciding to go with it because it sounded good.

"And that's what this is, Jace. A change of heart?" She asked.

"What else would it be?" I asked. Maybe she thought I was yanking her chain. Angel how I wanted to just tell her what was going on, that I wanted to be her friend. Yeah, just a friend, right, a pesky little sarcastic voice said. Who the hell are you, Jimminy Cricket, I thought back. Crap I'm having another conservation with myself. I really needed a cat scan. We finally arrived at the building and walked off toward our classes. School went as to be expected, lots of dosing off in class, and lots of teachers handing me detention that I wouldn't go to anyway. The only really good part was lunch, when I shared my lunch with Clary, as promised. Simon and Alec gave us funny looks at that. However Iz kept smirking at me and even winked a couple of times. Way to be subtle Iz why didn't you just post it on your head that you were helping me tell Clary that I lov- Oh shit.

Did Jace finally realize that he was in love with Clary? Will Clary return his feelings? And will we get to read more about Jace in the shower?

Find out next time on WWTSCO? lol I hoped you guys loved it, and yes I know that Jace sounds a little crazy but you would be
