A week later Mangus called me over to his house and I agreed since he said it was on business terms. Hailing a cab once more to take me from main street straight from my shopping over to Magnus's house I climbed in versace sunglasses sitting on my eyes. The cab driver looked unusually young and my heart skipped a beat. Taking my sunglasses off I realized it was that boy from a year ago. It seemed that I wasn't the only one who realized this either though because he was looking at me wide eyed in the mirror. "You" I breath and he shot me an amazed smile. "While if it isn't one of the most sucessful model's ever" he said cockily and I rolled my eyes. Almost a year ago he felt pity for me now he was treating me like some normal sex symbol. "Yeah" I said annoyed and he raised his eyebrow at me taking off down the road. "So" he said more concerned and politly "did things get better." His question struck me hard he remembered all of that? Not just that either but he actually cared enough to ask me how everything was. I smirked at him sourly and gestured to my wore down body "what do you think?" I asked bitterly. He just stared at me in the mirror for a seconds assesing "yeah you do look like shit" he inquired and I scoffed. "What a gentlemen" I shot at him sarcastically and he rolled his eyes turning the corner. "Why didn't you call me or better yet leave him?" he asks seeming genuinly curious by why I would've stayed. "I'd rather not talk about it" he just nodded his head and pulled up to Magnus's building. Handing him the money I slid out of the cab and walked up the side walk my stiletto's clicking approvingly. "Nice ass!" he called out and sped away. Such a prick I thought as I had Magnus buzz me in. Slowly I made my way up the staircase and knocked on his door surpringly it was opened by Isabelle. Raising my eyebrows I stepped in elegantly making my way to his living room being greeted by chairman meow in the process. I sat down and Magnus came out handing me a cup of a clear liquid i'd never seen before. Taking big gulps I felt better like my stomach wasn't going to kill my anymore. That's when I realized what it was and I glared at that sparkly demon. "You sly fox" I said grining but didn't care just asked for more. I sipped it glad to actually have something that could help me gain weight and get skin back on my bones. Sure Sebastian would keep me on the diet pills but oh my god I needed this. Happily I set the glass down and crossed my legs causing my dress to ride up a bit.

"We need to talk about you're past and abusive personal life clarissa"

"Why you know thats strictly my business"

"Because the story about Sebastain and his abuse on you's gotten out also the story about you selling yourself it's in all of the papers and magizines"

Anger and fear rose in me. How had it gotten out and I don't freaking sell myself! Sebastian comes home drunk alot and brings his asshat friends and they pay him just so he can make me let them touch me. Holding back my angry tears I took another sip of the drink and sat it back down.

"You know that last one isn't true"

"I know"

"Then how did all of that get out! do you know what he's going to do to me!"

Magnus looked at me fear and pity for me in his eyes I was desprate. "Clary" he said softly bringing me into his arms while I sobbed soaking his shirt. Isabelle came over and hugged me tight smoothing out my newly straightened hair and murmuring good things softly in my ear. "Who was it?" I asked harshly causing her to flinch and she looked at me gulping "One name" she said "Jonathan." My world stopped and I felt something crack inside me. "Clary" Magnus said and I turned to him "I think you need to get away from the spotlight for a bit sound good?" I nodded and he smiled sadly. "We set up a job interview for you at a high end company" was all he said as he handed me a dry cleaner bag. Smiling shyly I walked up the steps into the bathroom and locked the door looking in the mirror. You will be okay I thought everything is fine Sebastian left on a business emergancy and wont be back the news will be gone by the time he gets back next month. Now I know what you're thinking why are you so worried still well Sebastian has a way of breaking me even when hes far away. He even has a way of firguring everything out and then punishing me so either way within a month I would have a bloody nose and a black eye. Unzipping the dry cleaner bag I stepped out of my jeans and peeled off emrald top stuffing them in my Louis Vitton purse. Humming lightly I pulled out the outfit I had wore when I had first tried out for modeling. A small smile came to haunt my lips turning into a full teeth one. Happily I pulled on the grey pencil skirt glad that the drink was already starting to produce the weight I needed to get my curves back. Ignoring the fact my body would reject and make me throw it up later I pulled on my favortie blouse. It was a emrald green with slightly puffy sleeves and a few ruffles on my chest going all the way down to where it tucked into my skirt. Admiring myself in the mirror I pulled off my stilettos replacing them with four inch black ones that complimented me very well. Picking everything up I made my way down stairs and handed everything to Magnus telling him i'd come back for it after the interview. "So what business are we talking about?" I asked them wondering what I was being set up for. "You're going to be a intern for one of the most elegable young business man of new york" was all he said while ushering me out the door. Honestly, I thought, he was no fun.

I ended up walking into a tall building and I had no idea where I was going at all. In all honesty everything would've been so much simpler if I just would've taken a break from work. But no Magnus insisted saything this would keep me safe from Sebastian and his friend all day and most of the night. I felt everyones eyes on me as my pale legs strutted up to an elevator my just straight hair now turning into soft curls as it always did when it wanted to. Pressing the botton for the top floor it zoomed up all of the way and I stepped out onto a large floor hallways leading every where. Too stubborn to ask for help I started off in one direction hoping it would take me where I needed to go. After ten minutes and hundreds of people staring at me I finally made it to a large desk and rung the bell. Before I knew it this pretty girls head poped up and smiled at me. Her hair was a lighter, her eyes a beautiful color. "Hi" she said casually smiling at me "i'm Helen are you Clarissa fairchild?" I smiled at her and shook her pale firm hand "I got by fray now" she nodded and typed somthing in on the computer "got it!" I had gone through three name changed now but honestly I needed a new life ever since I was seventeen so Fray just fit me. "Well" helen continued pointing down to my left "take that hall make a right and you should be at Lightwood Wayland's office have a nice day." Nodding I started down that way trying to keep my thought together. Was this really a interview or was it already set up for me to have the job. If it means protection and some time away from everything going on in my life I guess it's okay then. Really though? my boss had two last names this was great he was probably not going to be young like Magnus said he was and freaking be a huge jerk. I took a set and waited for him to come out or at least walk down the hall to greet me. That's when I saw him and almost fainted.

Jace's P.O.V

I greeted Helen at the desk and walked back towards my office. Ms. Morgenstern has arrived or Fairchild whatever the broads name was it didn't matter she was my intern anyway. I swear if my friend Magnus set me up with some walking STD bimbo from his modeling agency I would kill him in the long run. As I past the corner I almost stopped shocked at what I saw. She didn't see me yet but I saw her. She was sitting alone red hair flaming down her mid back into curls. Not to menion the tight looking skirt and blouse she had on. Taking a deep breath I calmed my self and started walking trying my best to seem adult like. Then again I was a twenty year old running one of new yorks most sucessful companies and running a popular taxi company. I would've rather met her with this company that day a year ago, not in some taxi while she was covering the bruise on her beautiful face. The moment she turned her head and saw me she looked like she going to faint. Her green eyes were blazing set off by what make up she did have on if she even had any on at all. Wasn't her last name Fray? not Morgenstern or Fairchild? Then it hit me Fray hade the F in fairchild and the last three letters I didn't really care about. "Ms. Fray?" I asked rasing an eyebrow and it seemed to snap her out of her trance. "You" she said not all to politly giving me this nasty little eye roll. Girl has some sass and attitude evidently.. I like it. "Now it that anyway to talk to your future employer?" I asked smirking down at her small structure. "It is if hes an ass" she said grabbing her purse and walking into my office before I even got to open the door. Damn I thought Innocent looking, sexy, attitude and a nice ass, what can I say she was my kind of woman.

We walked into my office and I couldn't help but notice how the slick sexy black heels she wore clicked against the floor confidently. I walked over to my desk taking a seat and she took the one straight infront of me. The moment she crossed her legs the already tight and short skirt she wore rode up even more revealing more of her pasty glass like skin. Averting my eyes before I could start looking up her skirt I looked into her eyes.

"You told me your last name was Fray not Fairchild or Morgenstern"

"I had some family problems but whats with you? you told me your last name was Herondale"

"Fair I have three last names because of family problems also so I won't hold you to that"

"Mhm" she said obviously not excited to be here. I handed her my contacts and some guidlines for the job and she looked at me. "My friend and manager Magnus said this was an interview?" she said confused. I didn't blame her for being confused "plus my friends Alec and Isabelle lightwood even backed him up soo" she said before I cut her off. "You're friends with my sister and brother?" I asked wide eyed and hers grew to. "You're their brother Jonathan!?" she practically screamed for dear life. "You're the Clarissa they wanted me to set up with?!" I screamed at almost the same volume and we just looked at each other freaked out. "Listen" she said before I cut her off politly this time. "It's okay I know you rejected me ten times by now" I said giving her a grin and she rolled those beautiful eyes of her. "If I knew this job was a hand out I wouldn't have come" she said getting up to head out the door but I stopped her gently. "Please sit down clary" I said "I've already interviewed people and they suck Magnus promised me you'd be good." Looking at me for a moment she came back to the chair and sat down. "Why does it matter if I stay?" she asked me. "Because you shouldn't have to go home to him" I replied like it was the most casual thing in the world and she sat there glaring at me. Suddenly she stood up and strutted over to the door turning back to me for a moment. "Fine i'll take the job but he loves me" and I got up from my desk walking over to her for a moment.

"He's hurting you"

"I'll have you know he loves me"

"No he dosen't"

"yes he does"

"He's doing all this to bring you down"

"Liar"

I couldn't take it anymore Sebastian didn't deserve her. He's been a prick ever since Pre K and shouldn't be doing this. Without thinking I put my hand to her cheek and leaned in pressing my lips to hers. For a moment she kissed me back but then screamed and pushed me away.

"That didn't happen"

"I think it did"

"I think it didn't"

"Well it did"

"Goodbye Jonathan" she said in a teasing/annoyed way and walked out closing the door behind her. "You know you liked it!" I called out as the door finally swinged closed I could hear her sit down at her desk right outside my door. "No I didn't and must I say Jonathan Herondale you are a strange boy."

Clary P.O.V

That honestly did not happen. He did not just kiss me and I did not just let him do it. Something inside me said it was good another part of my was saying I was going to die for doing that. Sebastian was going to find out and he was going to kill me. Was Jace telling the truth though? It couldn't be Sebastian did all of this becacause he loved me..right? Sighing I worked the next few hours while tapping my pencil in boredom while I filled out forms and signed transactions for Mr. Lightwood or Wayland possibly Herondale whatever the fuck his name was. That is until I felt my stomach lurching and I ran sheepishly over to the bathroom where I purged my guts out into the toilet bowl. Just like I thought my body had rejected the liquid Magnus had given me so I quickly downed another diet pill while staring at my scars. Quietly I walked out of the bathroom wiping my mouth off when I noticed it was time to go. Carefully I knocked on Jace's office door and he told me to come in. Peeking my head through I saw his hair was ruffled his jacket on the floor the tie he wore lose, his white sleeves rolled up. As the door opened he lifted his head up and looked at me "i'm so sorry" he said to me standing up straight. "It's fine really" I lied nothing was going to be fine "is there anything you need before I go?" and he just smirked at me. "Well" he began and I threw the chair cushion that sat next to me at him and he began laughing. "Okay i'm joking no you're fine Clare you can leave" and he smiled at me sweetly, I liked that smile on him. Nodding I walked down the hallway picking up my jacket while Jace called out for me to hold it. He ran in things in hand while he stared down at a seemingly important message. We nodded at each other as we got out but it seemed we were going the same way. He walked the other way and I stood at the corner trying to hail a cab. Now that I thought about it Jace Herondale was a strange boy. Sighing after not being able to cab I sat down on the sidewalk and screamed as the wind picked up. Hair blasting in my face I heard a car stop in front of me. The window of a bently rolled down and the face of Jace looked down at me. "Get in let me take you home" without any other choice I opened the door and hopped in buckling my seat belt. We to my building in silence but I saw him sneak looks at me out of the corner of his eye. Finally he pulled up and he unlocked the door "Goodnight Clary I hope you're okay tonight." "He's gone for another month" I said quietly looking down at my hands. I was a whore a horrible sinful whore for what I felt like I was about to do. "But thank you for caring Jace" I said and leaned over pecking his cheek and then getting out of the car as fast as I could. You know that wasn't so bad it was a friendly one besides I loved Sebastian..yeah and he only did this because he loved me, yeah keep thinking that clary. That night I crawled into bed alone once again and closed my eyes allowing myself to drift off to sleep. Another day and another dollar I thought and another day stuck being me.

I feel like this wasn't as good but anyway merry christmas
