Hola! Im back withthe Jace POV as promised. So, this is part two of the two-part update.

Let's go!

Jace liked Clary. There was no point in denying that anymore, he figured. He wouldn't be able to pin point the exact moment Clary went from being Jon's annoying but cute little sister to the feisty redhead he pined over. But it happened.

Everyone knew too. Jon had confronted him when they were 16, threatening him left, right and centre. Eventually, though, he had come around, when Clary started crushing on Verlac. Apparently he thought Jace would be better than all the " other dickheads out there."

Izzy had guessed and though Jace had kept vehemently denying it, she just became even more determined to get the two together. And if Izzy knew, that meant Alec knew, too.

Everyone knew. That is, everyone except, the redhead herself. She remained blissfully oblivious. She treated him the same she always had. And she was always annoyed with him, snapping at him at every given opportunity.

And so, Jace dated around, hoping to get over his little crush. Not that that had worked. Right now, he was flirting with Aline Penhallow. He wasn't interested, not really. Not when Clary was there. Especially when she was in thesame house.

When Izzy dragged everyone except him out to the fair and put him on escort duty for Clary, he knew he was screwed. He could very well have refused, and he would have. But, it was Clary. Why would he turn the chance down? And Izzy knew. This was probably another one of her ploys.

Just an hour later, he heard her calling out for Izzy.

Smiling, he sauntered into the living room. "She left for the fair, with everyone else. I'll be leaving in an hour and Izzy threatened me to get you too." he said.

He couldn't help but notice how adorable she looked, her hair all messed up and her green eyes still muddled from sleep.

He heard her mutter. "Great." And then he remembered her date at the fair the previous day. He just had to get over this girl. It was clearly never going to happen, given her overt annoyance everytime Jace happened to be within a mile.

"Don't worry. I won't interrupt any more of your dates. I'm not very happy to be stuck with you, either, sleeping..." Shit, he'd almost called her sleeping beauty. " Well...I'd say beauty but.."

Clary stormed upstairs before he could complete his sentence. Good, this would probably help him. He would drop her at the fair and find someone, may be Aline. She could go snuggle up to the Trueblood moron all she wanted.

When Clary finally stumbled down the stairs, Jace was holdign back chuckles. She never could walk in heels. But then she lifted her head to look up at him and he was frozen. She looked...well...stop it, Jace.

She stumbled over and tripped on her heels. It was a reflex, he couldn't help it. He took one long step and caught her before she could fall, her green eyes meeting his own eyes. He was about to make a snarky remark about her falling for him. But the look in her eyes, that stopped him. Jacecouldnt help but think how nice this would be if she just freaking liked him back. This was in no way helping his new resolution.

Breaking out of his stupor, he set her on her her feet and took a step back, clearing his throat.

He suggested they get moving and she agreed, her voice trembling ever so slightly.

Right then, he strengthened his resolve to move on from this little crush he had been harboring for over a year now.

But, as she wobbled out the door and he followed, he just couldnt help but grin.

So...did ya like it? I hope you did.
