Clary couldn't stop thinking about him. She had known better than to believe the rumors about him, but she never thought they'd be true.

"Clary? What movie do you want to watch now?" Simon held up an assortment of varied genres of movies.

She stopped and thought for a minute, trying desperately to get Jace off her mind. She failed miserably. "I don't care, Si. You can pick it."

Simon sighed before telling her, "I've picked the last three movies." He held up another five before realizing that Clary wasn't going to make up her mind any time soon.

"Si, I'm sorry, I'm just having a rough night." Clary shivered and wrapped the blanket closer to her. The basement of the Lewis's home was rather cold, but for some odd reason, Simon didn't mind. He would always tell everyone that he never got cold. The doctors blamed some weird thing where you have too much blood or something like that; they said it speeds up body temperature, making Simon always warm. But, no one, not even the doctors who said it, believed it.

"Sorry, Clary. But hey, do you want to watch this?" He held up one of Clary's favorites, a romantic adventure movie that Simon hated. Clary sighed.

"I already told you, you pick it."

"Okay," Simon sang sleepily and put the DVD in the player. The movie started as Simon fell asleep.


Aline did not take the news well. Jace hadn't believed Alec and Isabelle when they said she really thought they were an item, and he was paying for it now.

"I've always loved you, Jace Herondale! And this is how you repay me? I just-" Aline was screaming at the top of her lungs into the phone. Jace attempted at tuning her out. And failed.

He quickly hung up on her. Jace sighed and looked down at the thinning crowd below. A flash of red caught Jace's attention.

Oh, God.

There she is. Jace was panicking now, throwing on his coat and rushing downstairs. He nearly broke the elevator buttons from slamming the heel of his hand into them. When he finally made it downstairs, he ran outside and towards the direction he had seen her going.

Jace pushed through the crowds roughly, as if he were fleeing from a crime scene. "CLARY!" he yelled. If he completely stood up, he could still see her hair flying in the cold wind.

Clary.
