New kid in our school…his name is Jace Denham…HE LOOKS EXACTLY LIKE JACE IM NOT EVEN KIDDING IT'S CREEPY.

I should own something, but I don't.

"Come on Izzy, we're almost done. Two more then we're done." Clary and her best friend were running as much as their hearts would let them, and it was all Isabelle's fault. She asked Clary how she managed to stay do damn thin and eat as much as she wants. Turns out Clary runs about five miles every day, and that's what they were doing now. Izzy was on the verge of passing out while Clary was jogging circles around her. Since it was so abnormally hot outside, they only wore sports bras and athletic shorts. "How…the hell…do you…do this…every…. god…given…damn day?" Izzy was breathing really hard and was so pissed at Clary for making her run. "Come on Izzy! Only two more blocks left until a cold pool awaits us." Izzy's head shot up and she ran like hell to get to Clary's house. But there was one problem; she was running the wrong way.

Two and a half hours later, they ran about five and a half miles. Izzy stumbled in Clary's house and stumbled towards her kitchen. She opened the freezer door and stuck her head in. "Izzy, you ok?" That voice, that sweet voice that belonged to Sebastian, was aimed at her. Izzy was still trying to catch her breath and while she did, she notices that there were about fifteen pairs of male eyes on her. "Your sister…is…a complete…bitch." She said, returning her head into the freezer. Sebastian rolled his eyes and saw his sister walk in, looking as tired as Izzy. She went to the sink and turned the water on to cold, and stuck her head underneath, letting the cool water sent chills down her spine. Some trailed down her neck into her tight sports bra. She splashed water on her face and turned around to see the same pairs of eyes glued on her now instead of Izzy. One pair of certain gold eyes was just a bit wider than the rest. "You guys really need to call ahead of time and tell me when you're coming over."

"Pool…please…" Izzy was still breathing hard as she literally crawled towards the back door that lead to the pool. Once she was out she got up and stumbled towards it, and jumping in using the remaining strength she had left. "What did you do to her?" Sebastian asked. "Took her on my daily route."

"You're route is living hell, you know that right."

"That's why I still look this good. And it's her fault anyway; she asked me how I don't gain any weight when I eat all the crap the world has to offer me."

"And here I thought you just starved yourself to get that body." Jace said.

"Oh, so you've been looking at my body. Nice to know." Jace could feel a bit of heat rise up in his checks as everyone else laughed. Clary walked towards the back door and left them to collect their thoughts. Jace just watched her go around the pool to the deep end and do a perfect flip dive into the water. Then he got the worst idea in the world; he went outside to go join her. His bare feet burned on the ground as he was walking but he didn't care, he took off his shirt and threw it on a chair. He saw Isabelle get up and walk back inside, and see Clary get out of the pool and walk towards the edge to do another dive. "You coming in?" she asked him.

"Nope." He said and pushed her in. But before she could completely fall in, she grabbed Jace's arm in hope of supporting her back up, but instead he came down into the water with her. The cold water sent cold chills down his body; when he opened his eyes, tiny air bubbles surrounded him. He was looking for Clary but he couldn't find her. Jace had to resurface to get some air. He got out and looked around and found nothing; but what his did eventually find was a light of red coming from the bottom of the pool, not moving. Oh shit no. Jace dove straight in and found Clary's unmoving body slowly sinking to the bottom of the pool; her red hair was moving freely around her face. Jace grabbed her arm and pulled her up. Even though she barely weighed anything, the water made it harder for Jace to bring her back up. His lunges burned due lack of air, but soon he was out of the pool, carrying the lifeless Clary in his arms towards a chair. She still wasn't moving, and there was a huge bump on her head; Jace thought she was dead. And after all the hell she's been through, this had to happen to her now. "Clary! Please Clary don't go!" Jace shook her shoulders and that woke her up. She coughed up a lot of water and her face was very red.

"What the hell Jace?! You almost got me killed!" Clary was still coughing up a storm and drank some water. What she didn't expect was that that next thing she knew, she was in Jace's arms. He pulled her closer to him, wrapping one of his arms around her neck and one around the small of her back. He was holing on to her for dear life. "Oh god Clary, I'm so sorry. I thought I lost you. I swear I'll never do anything like that again." He dug his face in her hair and held her closer. Clary was a little taken back by his sudden change of heart; she just let Jace hold her close until her senses. She leaned her head against Jace's chest and tried to sooth him. "Its ok…I think…wait, Jace are you crying?" She pulled away from him, as much as she didn't want to, and saw that his eyes were watering. It was probably from the chlorine, or it was just his emotions. He slightly nodded and it finally hit Clary. "Seb told you, didn't he…about my past? That's why you're this terrified." She held his face with her hands and he put his hands on top of hers. She could see the guilt in his eyes as if it was his entire fault her life was fucked up. She was brought beck to reality when the wind started blowing and Clary got cold. Jace grabbed a towel and wrapped it around Clary.

She tried to get up, but her legs gave out and Jace caught her. He picked her up bridal style and carried her inside. He carefully laid her down on her bed and watched her curl up in a ball. She looked so vulnerable and exposed, but at the same time she looked so beautiful and radiant. He sat down next to her and she scooted towards him. They looked into each other's eyes and had a silent conversation. Suddenly, Clary took a swing at his right shoulder and Jace winced in pain. "Ow!"

"That's for pushing me in and almost killing me."

Jace rubbed his shoulder and still looked very guilty. Clary got up on her need so she was level with Jace. "And this is for saving me." She didn't know what she was thinking, but she kissed him, right there. She realized what she was doing and pulled back. But before she could say anything, Jace cupped her face and brought their lips together again. This kiss was much more passionate and heated than the first one. Clary roamed around his wet golden hair with her fingers as he put his hands under her ass and lifted her up on his lap as she let out a small gasp. He licked her bottom lip asking for entrance, which she gladly gave, and their tongues battled for dominance. Eventually, they found a perfect rhythm where the kiss was still heated, yet gentle as if one wrong move could break them. They broke apart and leaned their foreheads on each other. "I have a crazy idea." Jace started saying.

"And what may that be?"

"You get dried and cleaned up, and then I'm doing to take you out."

"You're not going to tell me where, are you?" Jace shook his head. He got up to leave and Clary showed him out.

"We probably shouldn't tell Seb about this. He'll freak out his little sister is near you." Clary said; as they walked pass the kitchen. "I don't think he'll mind." He said. Clary looked confused and followed his gaze. Izzy was sitting on the kitchen counter with Sebastian wrapped around her legs having a full make out session. Clary raised her eyebrows and Jace cleared his throat. They didn't seem to notice Clary and Jace; they just kept on kissing. Clary tried her best not to laugh while Jace let out a wolf whistle that broke them apart. Sebastian's face was red and Izzy's face was covered in shock and embarrassment. "I-I I can explain…w-we-"

"Thank god you guys finally made a move on each other. All the sexual tension going on between you too could light up a Christmas Tree." Jace laughed at Clary's comment as Izzy and Seb's faces turned even redder. "Right back at ya."

Jace put his arm around Clary. "Don't worry, we already took take of that." Clary lightly swatted his chest, and he walked to towards the door. "So get ready, and I'll see get in an hour for your surprise." Clary nodded and he kissed her. She watched him drive off, and ran to her shower to get ready.
