A/N So if anyone still cares about this story like two months later... :/ I'm so sorry! I've been busy and I didn't know where to go with this story so when I had time I worked on one of my other stories...please note that writing three stories at once is a bad idea...

Bang bang bang!
I rolled over and buried my face in my pillow.
Bang bang bang!
I put the pillow over my head.
Bang bang bang!
I tried to ignore it but now the person was shouting as well as banging.

"Go away!" I yelled. There was no way I was answering the door looking like this.

Finally the banging stopped and I rolled over to go back to sleep. I sighed I shouldn't be doing this. I knew that. Really I did...but my bed was warm and it felt safe...and I just couldn't be bothered to move...then out of nowhere: Bang bang bang! This time it was coming from my window... I reached for my phone to call 911, where was it? Oh that's right it was right where I had so intelligently thrown it...I was soooo smart. I slipped out of bed and dropped to the ground, my heart pounding. I didn't look at the window, just kept low and crawled over to where my old baseball bat was sitting in the corner - and mom says I need to get rid of stuff I don't use? I told her it might save my life someday (granted I was being a sarcastic brat at the time but hey, I turned out to be right didn't I?).

I knew who ever was at the window couldn't see me. Maybe they would go away. I vaguely realized that they were calling me name...that was odd... wait I thought I recognized the voice too...but I couldn't be sure...their was no way...why in hell would he be here? I couldn't look to see who it was without him seeing me... what should I do?

Wait a second...the window...it had been open last night, I had closed it before going to bed... closed it but not locked it. No sooner had the thought crossed mind then I head the wood creak as he pushed it up. Without thinking I charged out of my hiding place and toward the intruder.

"Clary! Stop!" He shouted!

I froze as I realized it was Jace. I really didn't want to crush his skull with my baseball bat. However on second thought I didn't know why he was here. I barely knew him. Why was he here? At my house? Trying to get into my room? I froze but didn't lower the bat.

"What the hell are you doing here?" I demanded.

"Oh you know, making sure you're okay, almost getting killed by you..."

"You were trying to break into my room!" Could he really have been checking on me?

"You wouldn't answer the door. I was worried."

He was worried? "So you almost scared me to death?" I demanded.

"I didn't know what else to do." his tone is arrogant but I think he sounds a little bit unsure. Afraid almost, however I'm sure this boy doesn't even know what fear is let alone what it feels like.

I take a step closer, "So why are you really here?"

"To check on you. The nerd said you weren't answering your phone...I see you murdered it." he said nodding to where it lay on the ground. I noticed for the first time that there was a huge crack across the screen.
"Shit." I mumbled. Then I realized what he had said about Simon.

"Watch what you say about Simon. I'm still ready to smash in your head you know."

He just raised an eyebrow.

"So are you okay?"

"Yeah..." I was starting to calm down. For whatever reason I didn't think Jace would hurt me. I realized I was still holding the bat up and that for some reason it was shaking...

"You should lie down."

"I'm fine." but now my whole body was shaking...it was like the fear wasn't really kicking in till now, after the fact. Because that makes sense...only you know, not.

"You really should lie down Clary." he didn't sound arrogant anymore. He sounded worried.

"I'm fine." I repeated, but now I could barely stand.

I think it must have been pretty clear something was wrong because just before I started to fall I saw him put his hands on the window sill and swing himself up and over, into my room. I started to fall, everything went black, my last thought was that I should have hit the ground by now.

A/N I'm sorry it's so short but I wanted to post something and this seemed like a good place to stop. I'll try to work on the next chapter tonight after work and I'll try my best to get it up tomorrow.

Please review! It will inspire me to write faster, plus you'll get a sneak peek. Tell me what the best and worst parts are so far. (If you can still remember anything from the other chapters :P)
