Questions questions questions! That's all what Cary heard! When where what why! She kept her grip on Jace's hand. Any other time she would've been embarrassed but right now she was too scared.

"When did this happen?" The detective asked. "Where did it happen?" "What exactly happened?" "Do you know why it happened?"

They talked for a while longer, by that she meant the detective kept talking before they finally released her. The only peace of mind Clary had was Jonathon was locked up. But where was her mom? The police had tried to call her several times but there was no answer. She had made up her mind that she was going to walk home but once she was out of the building someone yelled at her to stop. She turned to see none other than Jace.

"Clary!" He yelled again.

She couldn't stop herself. She turned and ran into his arms and began to sob. She should've felt embarrassed. He was a celebrity for heaven sake!

No, he's not, Clary thought. He's a real person, the person who saved her.

"I'm sorry." He whispered soothing. " I'm sorry for being such a jerk. When I saw you while we were performing I just wanted to meet you so badly, but when I saw you with the limp I got jealous, I'm sorry. "

"You don't even know me!" She cried.

"I know, but I want to get to."

She pulled away from him, "You do?"

"Yes I do, Clary Fray. I want to know you."

She gave him a watery smile which he returned before pulling something out of his pocket and handing it to her. "In a couple days I'll be leaving for Europe but if you ever need to talk just call okay."

She nodded her head and she turned and began to walk but she stopped in her tracks. She grabbed out her phone and began to dial the number. The ringing stopped after the third one.

"Jace," She started "I have no one to talk to."


She pulled her house key out of he pocket and tried to put it into the slot. Her hands shook so bad it seemed impossible and Jace took the task of taking the key and unlocking for her.

They walked into the house in silence. Clary took of her coat and placed in on the couch which Jace copied. There was no sign of her mom but Clary knew that was pretty typical.

"Thanks for walking here with me." She finally said quietly. It was hard to meet his eyes seeing her was over a foot taller then her.

He didn't answer, he walked over and looked at some of the pictures on the mantal over her fire place. The might have lived in an apartment but it was a pretty big one. He picked up one of the pictures Clary was very familiar with.

"Who's this?" Jace asked pointing to a man very similar looking to Jonathan in the frame.

"That's my dad, Valentine."

"What happened to him?" Jace asked curiously and his eyes met with hers.

"He left."

That was a lie but Clary didn't really like talking about it. She barely remembered her dad and she didn't really want memerories to resurface.

Clary left Jace where he was and walked into her room a laid on her bed only to have him follow her. He smiled lighty at her which she returned and her came and laid down next to her. She turned on her side to face him and grabbed one of his big hands intertwining her small fingers with it. Jace turned so he was facing her as well and smiled at her.

"You're brave, you know." Jace told her. "I've been through stuff similar to you but I wouldn't have been able to handle it alone. Then the Lightwoods adopted me and they helped me through it." He paused and stared at her intently. "I want to be that for you. And before you stop me and say that I just met you the Lightwoods had just met me too and-"

He was inturrpted by a kiss placed on his cheek. He grinned down at her but Clary could tell it was playful. "Bit brave, I like it."

"You've already helped by just being here. You showed me you cared when nobody else seems to."

"That's not true."

"Then where is everyone else?" Clary retorted. "Where's my mom? Where's my best friend? Where's my dad? He's gonna see this on the news and think 'oh my son raped my daughter I'm so glad I wasn't apart of that'."

Jace pulled her into his arms and kissed the top of her head. "I'm sorry." She whispered. "I'm sorry for snapping at you."

"Don't apologize, you were just telling me how you felt. That's what I'm here for."

She looked up at him and his eyes shined bright. He was the most beautiful person she had every seen. The most golden one too! Everything about him was gold. His skin, his hair, and his beautiful eyes.

"Is it bad if I really want to kiss you?" Clary whispered quietly, only loud enough for him to hear.

Jace chuckled. "I have that affect on people."

She snuggled deeper into him and felt him kiss her head again. "Does it help if I said I wanted to kiss you too?" Jace asked.

"Is that agaisnt the rules?" Clary asked. "Since I've just faced a traumatizing event do I have to act all scared and hide from all the men I see?"

Jace smiled at her, "You don't have to be anything, just be you."

She moved up his arms so they were face to face and she slowly leaned down. The slow was meant to be slow and soft but after a while it turned into alot more. Jace eventually pulled away from her. "Clary, I really like doing this I really do it just I don't want to take things to fast. I want you to be comfortable with me."

Clary smiled at him and laid her head down on his chest. "Thank you."
