Clary POV

My eyes flutter open and the memories of last night come back to me. I. Kissed. Jace. I roll onto my back and stare at the ceiling, pondering on how today will turn out, this could get awkward. I hear a grumble next to me. I freeze. I turn my head slowly and see a mop of blonde hair. Jace. Oh god, did we do something that some how escaped my memory? He has his arms around my waist and he is still wearing all of his clothes from last night. Well that's a good sign, right? I turn onto my side so that I am facing him. He has his eyes closed and a few tendrils of his golden hair have fallen into his face. Shadows cast on the bones in his face accentuating them. He looks peaceful and gorgeous. His eyes flutter open and his golden ones meet my emerald ones. He scans my face and then blinks. His eyebrows knit together ever so slightly as he yawns.

"Nothing happened right?" He mumbles, his voice still heavy with sleep. I shake my head and he smiles.

"So what does this make us then?" I say pushing a lock of my hair out of my face.

"I don't know whatever we want I guess… what do you think?" He runs his fingers through his hair and takes his leather jacket off before lying back down to face me again.

"Ummm I'm not sure… complicated?" I smile as he lets out a chuckle before pulling me closer to him. I feel his heat radiate through me. I smile as I look up at him, he leans his head closer to my face until our noses basically touch, I tilt my head slightly to the side to finish the kiss. Our lips are just about to touch when a loud burning sound fills my room, I jump back and Jace just huffs and looks very annoyed to be interrupted. I roll over to look at my bedside table to find a fire message. I grab it and roll over onto my back.

"Whats that?" Jace grumbles.

"Its a fire message from my family." I stutter, realising only now I have neglected to write to them. I pang of guilt hits me like a tonne of bricks. I open it.

Dear Clary,

I hope you are settling into New York, it is very quite here at home without you. I have decided to enrol in the academy in Idris instead of being homeschooled. I just feel with you gone I need to get out and meet new people, like I am sure you are most definitely doing. So as of tomorrow I will be an official student at the academy. I am surprisingly excited, which is odd for me but I am sure you know that. Mum and Dad are ok but they miss you terribly, you come up in every conversation. They tell people how proud they of you. They are going to visit their friends in Beijing tomorrow so I will have the house to myself for two weeks. I am looking forward to how peaceful it will be but at the same time I am dreading it because I will be without you, my baby sister.

I hope you are enjoying yourself and I hope you write back soon.

Love your big brother,

Jonathan.

I feel a tear slowly slide down my cheek, I sniff and wipe it away quickly in hope Jace won't see.

"Clary what's wrong?" He is propped up on his elbow and looking at me, worry is apparent on his face.

"N-nothing, don't worry about it" I say quickly, as I put my brothers letter in my drawer in the bedside table.

"Clary, what's wrong?" He repeats.

"I have just been really selfish. That's all. I haven't thought of the repercussions that my actions have on people." Jace pulls me into his chest and engulfs me in his arms. I grab fistfuls of his t-shirt in my hands and nuzzle my head into his chest. After a moment, I pull my head back to look at him.

"I must look a mess, sorry" I laugh through ragged breaths. His thumb skims my cheek bone.

"You could never look a mess Clary" And with that he leans down and kisses me ever so softly. I kiss him back gripping his shoulders and leaning up into the kiss.

'Knock, Knock, Knock'

I pull back quickly, Jace looks disappointed, I smile.

"Errr who is it?" I say unsurely.

"It's Izzy Clary, can I come in" Izzy shouts from behind the door.

"Which Izzy?" I regret the words as soon as they spill from my mouth, I mentally face palm as Jace gives me a look of 'you-did-not-actually-just-say-that?!'.

"Ummm Lightwood, your best friend…. Clary are you ok in there?" The door knob slowly turns and the door opens a tiny bit before I shout "Wait don't come in.. I…um…am naked.." I shout. Jace's look tells me that wasn't convincing.

"Oh, ok well can you get dressed and meet me in the library in ten minutes then." The door shuts again and I exhale deeply. Now that was a close call. Me plus Jace, in a bed. Izzy would have had a field day. Jace is trying to suppress his laughter and I just hit him in the face with a pillow.

"Owwww, how can you make a pillow hurt Clary?!" He says throwing the pillow off and rubbing his nose.

"I don't know but I need to have a quick shower and meet Izzy or she will literally decapitate me!" I say jumping out of bed and rushing over to my bathroom. "Oh and I suppose you get changed too, you smell like alcohol" I wink at him. "Try and not let anyone see you leaving my room, I want to figure out what 'this' is before I tell Izzy, or Alec, is that ok with you?" I add. Jace's eyes twinkle as streams of sunlight dance through cracks in my curtains. He runs his hands through his tousled hair before saying "Yeah ok, I would like to know what this is too" He smirks before getting off the bed and walking towards the door. I flash him a smile before shutting the bathroom door. I hear him laugh and shortly after that my door shuts.

After I was ready I walked down to the Library where Izzy said I could meet her. God knows what about. I push open the heavy doors to find Izzy draped over a sofa, her head snaps in my direction.

"You took seventeen minutes." She said raising an eyebrow. "Jace wasn't in his room this morning, any idea where he was?". Uh oh. Yeah he was in my bed and you interrupted us kissing when you knocked on my door.

"What makes you think I would have known where he was?" I say as innocently as I can. She doesn't look convinced. Damn.

"Oh, I don't know maybe because you were kissing at the club last night and I thought he could be with you" She shrugged as she walked over to me surveying my face. "Although he might of gone out for a run though, he tends to do that most mornings".

"Yeah he could of done" I say walking around her to pick up a book to pretend I was interested in it.

"Hmmmm" Izzy does not look convinced in the slightest. Great one Clary.

"Is that what you wanted to talk to me about?" I say desperately trying to change the subject.

"Oh no, the reason I asked is because I am going into the city today to do a bit of shopping, do you want me to get you anything?" She says going back to normal cheery Izzy.

"No I think I am fine, thank you though" I say tucking a curl behind my ear.

"Ok I will surprise you then" Her eyes sparkle.

"Wait are you going in on your own?" I say curiously.

"No I am urrr… meeting a friend for lunch" She says quickly.

"Right, ok, does this friend happen to be a boy by any chance?" I smile at Izzy getting flustered. She never gets flustered.

"Yes, I meet him in the club last night, I am going for lunch with him and I thought after I might do a bit of shopping. Oh my is that the time! I will be late, I can't have that!" She checks her watch and starts for the door. "I'm bringing back Taki's so don't eat later" She calls as she runs out of the door. I laugh as I hear the clicking of her heels grow faint.

As I walk into the conservatory, I go over to the bench and open my sketch pad to draw butterfly resting on a flower petal. I haven't drawn for what seems to be ages and I come up here to think sometimes. As it is always so quiet and peaceful. The air is warm and sweet. The butterfly flows onto my page through my pencil.

"What are you drawing?". A whisper comes from behind me. I smile knowing exactly who it is, having no need to turn around. I point to the butterfly with my pencil and put my finger to my lips. I feel the rickety bench dip ever so slightly as the source of the whisper sits down next to me and peers over my arm to see my sketch.

"Its really good, I didn't know you could draw" The whisper says.

"Oh yeah, I love to draw, its my passion, my sketchbook is like my diary, I have never been very good with words so I draw my mind and for fun of course. I just find it very relaxing." I smile as the boy with golden hair edges closer to me. I look up to see his eyes admiring my drawing. I slowly reach one of my fingers out to the butterfly, it crawls onto my finger tip. I bring my finger in front of mine and Jace's face before delicately blowing on the butterfly causing it to flutter off. Our heads follow it as flies away.

Jace's POV

Her emerald eyes come alive as she watches the butterfly. She closes her sketchbook with her tiny hands and puts her pencil behind her ear. Before exhaling and leaning back on the bench. She closes her eyes and smiles. "It's lovely up here, don't you think?" Her eyes are alive again with the same spark the resides in her. Her crimson hair falls delicately around her face, framing it. She is truly beautiful. All I can manage is a nod. She turns to look at me, her emerald eyes gleaming. She smiles lightly before standing up, brushing down her jeans and walking towards the door. I stare after her wondering if I should follow, as if on impulse I run after her. She turns around and smiles.

"Are you following me Jace?" She laughs and continues walking.

"I guess you could call it that…. can I ask you something?" I stare at the back of her head.

"Yeah sure" Her hair bounces with each step.

"How can you act so normally when what happened this morning happened?" I fiddle with my fingers anxious for her response as she stops and slowly swivels around on the ball of her foot. She steps towards me and places her hands on my shoulders pulling herself closer to me. She tilts her head to the side and smiles.

"I'm not acting normally, there is only one thing on my mind at the moment. You" She chuckles nervously, looks down at her feet as she slides her hands down my chest. "Well by all means leave me hanging" She laughs as she pulls away, leaving my chest cold, I shiver and pull her back to me and snake my arms around her back as to squash all the space between us. She joins her hands behinds my neck and and stands up on her tip toes, her nose coming to my chin. I laugh as she furrows her brow, disappointed with her lack of height.

"Can I kiss you?" I bite my lip nervously. Clary pulls my head down towards hers stopping as our noses touch.

"I guess" She whispers as a smirk plastered her face. I smile and lean down the rest of the way and our lips touch. I grip her waist as she slides her fingers into my hair. I lean back lifting her off the floor, not breaking the kiss. I feel her smile against my lips, she pulls back and stares at me intently before leaning forward to kiss me again.

Izzy POV

After I had finished my date and to get his number, I decided against the shopping as I had forgotten my debit card. I will go and pick up Taki's in a few hours, I just need to fetch my card from my bedside table. When I get into the institute, it is quiet. Alec must be out and I have no clue where Clary or Jace could be. Something is going on between them two, Clary is a terrible liar. I chuckle to myself as I walk out of the elevator. I walk down the hallway and into my room, I collect my card and walk out. As I am closing my door, I feel a gust of wind hit my legs. I look to my left and see the door that leads up to the conservatory is swinging open. Huh? I walk over to it and get a feeling that I need to go up. So quietly I creep up the spiral stairs and peer round the door. I nearly scream. Clary and Jace. Clary and Jace kissing! Oh My God. I freaking knew Clary was lying! I knew it! Ok I am going to let Clary or Jace tell me themselves, that is if I am able to contain myself. I smile at the thought of them together. They are actually so cute. I stifle a laugh and I peer round the door again to make sure they didn't hear it. No they didn't, they still trying to swallow each other. Clary is suspended a few feet off of the floor, Jace is holding her by her waist. I have to turn around as I have started to get slightly uncomfortable. I chuckle as I skip down the stairs shutting the door behind me. My phone buzzes.

Tonight sounds good to me, text me your address and I will pick you up.

I head out to collect my Taki's order with a big smile on my face.

Clary POV

I walk with Jace down the spiral staircase, our fingers intertwined.

"I like this." Jace says, he has a smile stretching ear to ear. I look up to him and laugh at his goofy smile.

"Me too, it's nice" I bite my lip and look up at him through my eyelashes. Jace pushes me up against the big oak door that leads into the hallway. His hands either side of my face, his golden eyes twinkle mischievously. He leans close to me so his mouth is just by my ear.

"You think it's nice because you have been kissing yours truly, which is possibly the best thing anyone could ask for" He purrs and places a kiss on my jawline.

"Woah slow down mister, if you're not careful your head won't be able to fit through this door, will it?" I smirk as I quickly reach for the door knob and walk happily down the corridor. I turn back and Jace is shaking his head smiling at me before he starts down the corridor after me. He is just about to catch up as I quickly head into my room, shutting the door behind me. I hear his laughter flow through the cracks in the door frame.

I fling myself on my bed and put my sketchbook on my bedside table, then retrieving a piece of paper and a pen.

Dear Jonathan,

I am so sorry for the lack of my letters, it has just been so hectic these past few weeks, with moving in and meeting new people. I live with the Lightwoods; Isabelle, Alec, Max, Mayrse and Robert but Mayrse and Robert are barely ever here as the have Clave business that needs, well I don't really know, maybe you might of heard of them because they are in Idris now? Also Jace Herondale lives here with the Lightwoods. Everyone has been so nice to me well most of them. I don't think Alec likes me too much, but I don't know why. Its odd.

Good luck in the Academy, you will be great, I just know it. And try not to wreck the house with all your crazy house parties that you will have with all your new friends. *wink wink*

I love you so much big brother and I miss you terribly, I will write again soon.

Love your baby sister,

Clary.

I grab my stele and send the letter using the firemail rune. The paper is quickly engulfed in a ball of blue flames, it hisses and spits until its gone. No traces of what I just wrote, left in this room. I sigh as I get off of my bed. I find myself walking to Izzy's room. I knock and a musical voice shouts "Come in". Izzy is sat at her vanity table with an array of tubes and containers scattered over the table top. She turns round and I see her hair is curled in big loose ringlets and her make up is all done up. She doesn't normally get this dressed up for no reason. Hmmmm.

"So why are you all dressed up eh?" I say flopping down her bed, picking up a Vogue magazine and flicking through the pages.

"Oh it's nothing, I look like this everyday." She says turning back to her mirror, avoiding my eye contact.

"Ha. No you don't Izzy, I'm not stupid. Who did you get dressed up for?" I raise my eyebrows and smile at her. She rolls her eyes at me.

"Oh all right, I met this guy at the Pandemonium last night and I met up with him this weekend" She lies down next to me and smiles.

"I knew it was a guy! Come on, spill what's his name, what is he?" I say wiggling my eyebrows and setting the magazine down on her bed.

"Well his name is Simon and surprisingly he is a Mundane." She turns on her side propping her head up on her fist.

"A mundane?! I didn't think you were really interested in them" I ask, now intrigued to hear about this mundane who managed to get Isabelle's attention.

"His name is Simon and he actually spilt his drink over me. Which is a downside but he was so sweet and cute the why he got all flustered and nervous about it. I know I don't really go for mundanes but it was something about him that was….different" Her eyes are distant from the present situation, probably thinking about this Simon and how they met. I do hope he isn't like the type of boy who just uses a girl. If he is, he will have three angry shadow hunters after him, Alec, Jace and me. I don't think he want to be on the opposite side of our anger.

"So, what was that about with you and Jace last night then?" Now it was Izzy's turn to be asking the questions. Should I tell her? Well she is going to find out anyway… and she did tell me about this Simon guy. Maybe I should confide in her like best friends do and how she did to me. "Clary?" She nudges me out of my debate with myself.

"Ummm, I guess you could say it's complicated between us at the moment" I feel my hands start to get clammy, my heart starts to speed up.

"Ok then, have you seen him today?" Izzy presses, her face is eager for more information.

"Yes?" My answer came out more like a question than it was an answer, great now I will sound really suspicious.

"Was that a yes or a no?" She laughs at my tone.

"It was a yes, just a minute ago actually" I smile.

"And… come tell me, I wanna know, what did you do?" She edges closer to me.

"Well I guess you could class kissing as an activity.." I brace myself for the inevitable screaming reaction that will come from my supposedly best friend. But its doesn't come.

"I knew it, it was going to happen eventually but you do need to be careful because Jace, well he is Jace. I love him and I love the idea of you and him but he will only do things for himself. I hope he can change but he has been like that for so long" Izzy looks down at the magazine I'm holding.

"Wha-What do you mean?" Why is Izzy telling me this?

"What I mean is Jace does thing that he know will benefit him that's all. I just want you to be careful ok" Izzy says this so seriously that I am actually reconsidering what I have with Jace.

"Your coming with me to a club tonight ok"I Izzy says, she jumps off of her bed and runs up to her closet.

"What! We went to the pandemonium yesterday though!" I groan, scowling at the back of Izzy's head.

"Yeah well I am going with Simon and I want you to go with me" She says taking out several dresses and trying them in front of the mirror.

"Oh no you don't I am going to stay here, snuggle up in my bed with a book from the library and you are going to meet Simon on your own! You're Isabelle Lightwood!" I say sitting up, watching her throw multiple clothing pieces onto her already cluttered bedroom floor.

"You're right when does Isabelle Lightwood ever freak out?" She picks out a beautiful pink dress.

2 hours later.

I am purposely sat near the door so I can get a good look at this Simon guy. Izzy is still in her room lathering herself with hairspray. I hear the deep ringing of the doorbell. I perk up and run for the elevator, repeatedly pressing the down button. The elevator shudders into life and rumbles as I descend to the foyer. The doors peel open and I barrel out of them. I compose myself before walking to the big oak doors. I pull on the heavy door and it creaks. The streams of light pour into the dark foyer. A boy with dark brown curly hair and chocolate eyes step in. He is wearing glasses which suit is face, making him look quite adorable. He is wearing a grey t-shirt with a burgundy hoodie and blue jeans.

"Hi I'm Simon, Is Izzy here?" He smiles as he offers out his hand for a handshake.

Hi guys I am thinking of writing another story but this one is when Jace cheats on Clary, that type of story. I know lots of other people have done this before me and it is not original by any means but I would like to know if it would be something you would want to read or would be willing to read? Obviously I would put my own spin on it and make it me own but please let me know because I would love to know what you think. :) Also what do you think of this story at the moment?:)
