A/N I OWN NOTHING SORRY IT'S BEEN A WHILE

Jace's P.O.V

She's the Bose's daughter?

"But you look nothing like him" I told her. She rolled her eyes at me.

"Really? I hadn't noticed? And if didn't detect the sarcasm your misunderstood. I was adopted." She exclaimed.

After my mind caught up with me I remembered the previous event.

"Who the hell was that before…they had no right…"

"It was my father!" She blurted out stopping me from ranting on.

I can't say I wasn't shocked. What kind of parent does that? Physically hurts their child, regardless of adoption or not, I mean I'm adopted but the lightwoods treat me like their own flesh and blood and have never and would never lay a finger on me. I was speechless.

"Are you okay" I asked her, reaching for the check which was forming a bruise already.

"I'M FINE. WHY DON'T YOU JUST GO AND FORGET YOU SAW ANYTHING, JUST LIKE EVERYBODY ELSE" She yelled.

Her eyes where steady, but I could see the pain she refused to let show. I took a few steps closer to her and looked her straight in eye and said,

"I'm not going anywhere? You don't always have to keep up the strong mo. It's okay to be upset, and you bloody well have the right to be."

And just like that, her walls crumbled down, and she burst out crying. I held her close to me. It was like the movies, I had only just met this girl this morning and I already felt the need to be by her side.

We stayed like this for a while until it started raining and I brought her to my car were she explained to me how he never treated her like a daughter, he treated her like swine and he always told her that is was painful to tolerate her. With every word she told me my hate for this man grew even more than it was this morning when I met him and he blackmailed me into a job.

She went on to tell me how he was never that violent until he started this project two years ago and he would only really hit her occasionally. To me this didn't quit make a difference. In my mind, once you lay a finger on your child, that's it you no longer have the right to be their parent. After a while, she fell asleep in the passenger side of my car. I had to waker her up quickly so she could tell me her address. I drove to her apartment and gently woke her up. I walked her to the door. And I embraced her in a hug.

"Remember what I told you Clary, I'm not going to leave, or pretend like I didn't see what I saw. I'm here for you okay!?" I whispered in her ear.

I felt my shoulder becoming yet from her tears.

"I don't even know you." She replied.

"That's going to have to change, like right away." I told her.

I felt her laugh and we said our goodbyes.

After I got home the memory of my eventful day came back to me all at once. The only good thing I got out of this job was meeting Clary. I let myself drift off to sleep dreading the first day of my job tomorrow.
