Clary felt sick as she entered the Institute. It's not too late, I can turn back. No. I need to be brave. Her feet squeaked on the freshly polished floor as she walked down to Jace's room, she presumed he would be there. She knocked lightly on the door but half hoped he wouldn't answer.

"Come in!" He called from the inside of his bedroom. Clary took and deep breath and opened the door, Jace was lying on his bed smiling at something on his phone. Probably a text from that bitch. Clary thought.

"Oh Clary, Hey." Jace jumped off of his bed and hugged Clary tightly. "Why haven't you been replying to my texts or answering my texts? I was really worried." Yeah, sure you were. Clary didn't hug him back, she just stood still waiting for it to end.

"Where have you been?" Jace asked, looking confused with Clary's behaviour.

"I went to Taki's." Clary said bluntly.

"Taki's? When?" Clary saw fear appear on Jace's face but he quickly disguised it.

"Yesterday evening, what did you do? You were gone when I woke up, I was really worried " Clary asked calmly and slightly mocked Jace's fake concern for her.

"I didn't want to wake you..I..er..went.." Jace stuttered.

"Oh yeah, you were at Taki's aswell, I saw you."

"I was? Who with?" Jace asked cautiously

"A beautiful blonde girl, you two seemed pretty friendly."

"Oh, you mean Thea? She's just an old friend from Idris, haven't seen her in years."

"Cut the crap Jace, you're cheating on me." Clary voice broke.

"Clary don't be stupid! Of course, I'm not!" Jace was starting to sweat, he'd been rumbled.

"Well it looked like that to me Jace, normally you don't kiss other girls if you have a girlfriend. How could you lie to me like this? How long has it been going on?" Clary voice started to rise and the tears started to fall.

"Oh god, Clary please don't cry." Jace approached Clary and tried to wipe her tears.

Clary pushed Jace away and questioned him again "KEEP AWAY FROM ME. How long has it been going on?"

"About 2 months." Jace said quietly.

"2 months? So you've been lying and pretending to me all this time?" Clary cried.

"No Clary, I haven't been pretending, I really do love you." Jace said quickly.

Clary laughed "So this is how you treat people you love? I should've known Jace, people warned about you and told me to run as fast as I could away from you, but I didn't listen. I actually thought you loved me. And I was stupid enough to fall for you." Clary continued to cry. "What did I do Jace? What did I do to make you do this to me? What's wrong with me?" Clary pushed against Jace's chest and knocked him backwards.

"Is this what you wanted?" Clary screamed.

Jace just stared at her, speechless.

"Clary, please listen..I..I never wanted this.." Clary didn't let him finish.

"You thought I'd never find out about this? You thought no one would find out? Or did you want me to find out like this? Did you want to embarrass me and make me look stupid? We're over Jace."

"No Clary, please." Jace begged "I'll break up with Thea, I'll do whatever you want, please don't leave me, please."

"I see it all now, I was so stupid, I loved you Jace. Wasn't that enough for you?" Clary looked at Jace, waiting for an answer.

"No Clary, you're perfect. I was stupid, but please don't leave me. Don't do this." Jace grabbed Clary's arm and forced her to look him in the eyes.

"No Jace, it's too late."

Clary walked out of his room, ignoring his calls for her.
