The next day at school I search for clary through the sea of other students.
I needed to see her .
The Lunch bell rings and everyone starts to file out into the halls, I keep my eyes on look out for my little red head, eventually I make my way to the cafeteria I search the tables for Izzy, Alec and the gang, as usual they sit at the far corner table.
Maia and Jordan are cuddled up, while Izzy chats animatedly to Maia.
I roll my eyes at Alec as he swoons over Magnus, again.
off to the corner was clary with Simons arm around her.
It's taking every ounce of self control not to break that arm out if it's socket.
It's always been hard to see him touching her, but now it's almost impossible to ignore the jealousy building up.
As my father used to say "jealousy will drive you mad"
I know I had no right to be jealous, I was the one that screwed things up but I couldn't help it especially now.
I take a seat at the table across from clary.
Jordan starts to talk to me about the game on Friday but I cant pay any attention to what he is saying, so I just smile faintly and nod.
Clary eyes me from under her lashes, I tried hard to avoid starring at her for to long ,
people would notice.
Simon puts his fingers under clary's chin and brings her lips to his My fists bunch into my pants holding my self from punching those stupid glasses off of his nose, maybe even breaking his nose and couple of Black eyes to match.
I take a deep breath trying to calm my self, but it wasn't working.
I walk off saying something about my locker to the others, I can't handle it any more.
Pulling out my phone as I round the corner to my locker.
~clary P.O.V ~
My phone beeps in my bag at my feet. I shrug out of Simons arm and duck under the table to get my phone from my bag.
**New message from jace** flashes across the screen.
I open the message being carful that no one can see my phone.
*** clary this is killin me! ***
I knew I had to do something soon. this is getting out of hand. I felt like I was suffocating and being pulled in different direction.
One side there was jace who I'd been in love with since I moved in next door to him 6 years ago, who had led me one and broke my heart only 6 months ago. And then there was simon my best friend who was there for my through everything who finally after years had kissed me and told me he loved me.
I didn't want to hurt simon but I knew in my heart that the love I have for him was not the love he had for me. I love jace.
** jace I promise I will sort all this out I will just hold on ok ***
I'll do it tomorrow I'll tell simon the truth, he will hate me probably for ever. But it was better than lying.
My phone beeped again.
*** can I come 2 urs this afternoon?***
*** k we hav 2 talk about this properly u cn't keep grabbin at me everytym u c me. ***
The last class went by so slowly but yet they were a blur I couldn't bring my self to pay attention for very long.
Finally the bell rings and I grab my books shoving them into my back pack. I quickly make my way out of the school avoiding simon and the rest.
As I walk down the street I hear a honk from behind. I turn to see jaces blue beat up old Chevy pulling up beside me.
I check who's around and I jump into the car quickly not really wanting to Draw attention to the situation.
Jace smiles at me and reaches for my hand across the seat I let his finger curl around mine, they feel warm and safe.
We pull upto my house, mums car is in the drive way.
It isn't unusual for jace to be at our house, I had to remind my self mum wouldn't think twice about it really.
Jace and I went into the kitchen to say hi to mum and get a few things to snack on.
" hay mum me and jace are studying for the math test next Monday gonna be up stairs if you need me" I give my mum a kiss on the check grab a bag of chips and few cans of soft drink. I shove the drinks at jace and drag him out by the elbow and up the stairs.
mum calls after us " jace are you staying for dinner ?"
" sure misses F been missing your cooking" he yelled over the banisters of the stairs.
I shove him into my room and shut the door.
I turn to face jace his eyes smouldering, making my stomach do all kinds of flips and twists. NO!.
" stop looking at me like that it's distracting" I toss the chips and drinks onto the bed and sit on the edge.
" we have to talk about this"
He takes a deep breath and comes over to sit beside me.
" clary I can't watch you with simon any longer it drives me made, it's alway driven me crazy."
I run my hands through my hair tossing it about. Stalling as I try and think of a solution.
" I know. tomorrow I'm going to tell simon it's over.
but I don't think we should tell any one about us for a little a while"
I don't think dumping simon and then moving onto jace so publicly would do this situation any good.
jace leans back against the bed propping him self up on his elbows.
He looks So beautiful, My fingers itch to pull out my pencils and drew those perfect lines of his jaw and the golden halo of curls that frames his face perfectly.
Jace raises his eyebrow.
" so your not gonna tell him that you cheated on him?"
I cringe at the word cheated, it sound sohorrible, but that's what I have done.
" no, I think it would be best if we kept that between us. Give it a couple of weeks and then we can start acting like a couple and then we can slowly tell people were together"
Jace lets out a long sigh.
" I don't think I can keep my hands off you for that long"
He smiles at me seductively.
Butterflies churn in my stomach.
He Runs a hand up my arm and through my hair.
I shiver as goose bumps rise along my skin.
My body moves on its own as I Crawl over to him placing my legs on either side of his waist to straddle his hips.
I run my fingers over his chest.
Jace watches me as his hands rest around my lower back pushing me down to him.
Jace brushes his lips across mine sending jolts of electricity through my entire body. I frame his face between my hands and bring my lips on to his lips so softly at first. Soon enough his mouth opens for me and our kiss grows deeper and more fierce. Our hands explore every inch of each other. I pull jaces shirt off exposing his perfectly sculpted chest.
I kisse down his neck and his chest. groans escape from his throat.
he reaches for the buttons on my school blouse undoing them quickly, with his lips never leaving mine.
Jaces slips my blouse off of my shoulders and tosses it to the floor. We sit on the end of the bed me straddling jaces lap.
We kiss intensely, a frenzy of hands and lips.
" what the hell clary!"
A voice shouts from my bedroom door.
in shock I stumble to the floor, grabbing my blouse to cover myself.
" simon" I breath trying to get air back into lungs.
" yea your mum said you and jace were studying.
I didn't mean to interrupt"
Simons tone is sarcastic but I know he speaks like this when he is either pissed off or upset.
"Simon look I've been meaning to talk to you but I didn't know how to tell you" I pleaded with him.
" tell me WHAT clary? That you've been RIDDING jace behind my back?"
Simons voice was cold and rough making me cringe.
Jace comes up from the bed moving between myself and simon.
Simon glares at jace.
" I think you should go "
Jaces voice was solid and calm.
" yea I was done here anyway"
He give me one last bitter look before slamming my bedroom.
I waited listening to his foot steps down the stairs and the slam of the front door.
I pull my knees to my chest and Start to cry. What have I done?.
Jace places a reassuring hand on my shoulder and kisses my forehead.
