A/N: OMG I'M SO SORRY FOR NOT POSTING IN SO LONG! I've been SUPER busy and just haven't had the time to write anything! I hope you guys didn't think I'd given up on this story! BTW I'm also sorry for the short length of this chapter but I have a writers block at the moment so if you have any ideas as to where you want the story to go pls tell me if you leave a review. Thx guys and here's chapter 4 :)
I didn't talk to either Jace nor Simon for the remainder of the week.
Apparently Simon was too busy to talk every time I tried to call him, and there was no way I was going to talk to Jace. As far as I was concerned, he was a complete ass-hole. So much for the cute little wink he gave me that made me feel high.
I was kinda surprised when he bounded up beside me on my way to English class one mundane afternoon.
"Hey Clare." He said, matching my stride. I couldn't help but notice the way he walked. It was so graceful. Stop it Clary. "It's CLARY." I said, my voice venomous. "Now leave me alone."
He frowned. "Look, I'm sorry about the other day." He said, sounding sincere. "I didn't realise how important that Sampson guy was to you and-"
"It's Simon." I said, cutting him off, "Now PISS OFF."
I quickened my pace. He easily caught up to me.
"I really am sorry." He said.
When I didn't respond he grabbed my shoulder and brought me to a halt, turning me around to face him. I tried to hold my glare but his liquid gold eyes melted me.
"Look," He said, both hands on my shoulders. "I don't apologize often but when I do I am sincere. And I'm sorry."
I suddenly felt the urge to cry, to burst and let all my contents spill out onto the floor. I hardly knew the guy and I suddenly wanted to know him better than anyone else in the world. To make him mine. I could feel the tears suddenly starting to well up in my eyes.
Don't cry, don't cry, don't cry. I looked away from him, biting my lip.
"Clary."
Hearing him say my name sent butterflies to my stomach, making me feel dizzy.
"I'm sorry." He said, very softly.
I turned back to face him. He was looking at me sympathetically.
"Yeah." I said, and continued walking.
He didn't try to follow me.
