Thank you for being patient!
I've changed it so it doesn't seem too OTT some people who have read the one I published a while ago will know what I'm talking about.

Chapter 8: Forced to leave
Clary walked through the double doors and looked around. She saw a dark figure to the left of her so she walked toward her right.
"Simon?" She called out.
No one else was around. She kept walking until she got to the end of the wall. She stopped, only to be yanked to the side and into someone's chest.
Clary let out a yelp.
"Shh." Said a voice.
"What?" Clary looked up. "Simon?"
"Hey."
"Why are you out here? Where's your date?"
"I don't have one." He replied nonchalantly.
"Okay… Why don't you go inside?"
"Do you really think that I want to go inside a building where there are three guys who probably want to rip my head off?" He said, suddenly sounding bitter.
"What?"
"Jace. Sebastian. Jordan. The three musketeers. The ones who want to kick my ass."
"No they don't."
"Really? Have you not seen the dirty looks and glares that they give to me whenever they see me. They'd probably beat me up if you weren't with them all the time."
"Simon!" She said, annoyed. "They're not going to hurt you!"
"You know, Clary." He paused. "Sometimes I think that you're just too blind to see things that are happening around you." He spat.
"Are you serious? You're being an asshat to me when I've been so nice to you? What are you drunk or… or stoned?"
"I'm perfectly sober actually."
"Well then, what's wrong with you?" She yelled.
"Like I said. You're blind." She threw him a confused look. "I'm in love with you and yet you go with him to prom. You kiss him. You give him a chance! What about me?"
"What about you? You're my friend. Or should I say you were my friend? You're supposed to be happy that I'm happy!" Clary started to walk away but Simon grabbed her arm and pushed her against the wall. The rough bricks grazed her back making her her suck in her breath.
"I'm about to do something totally crazy that could potentially get me killed… Or seriously injured."
"And what's that?"
Then Simon leaned in and kissed her.
Clary didn't kiss back. She started punching his chest and tried to scream.
"Simon! Get off me!"
"Hey!" Said a familiar masculine voice.
Then someone began to walk over to them.
He had golden blond hair, gold eyes and a lean but muscular body. Jace.
"Jace " Clary began.
"Get away from her" He spat at Simon.
Clary had tears spilling on her cheeks. Simon let her go and she ran to Jace.
He wrapped an arm around her.
"You better watch your back, Lewis." Then he turned around.
Clary and Jace both walked back into the hall where the prom was being held.
Clary had mascara smeared on her cheeks from crying from the shock with Simon and forcibly kissing her.
Jace had his arm wrapped around her shoulders and hugged her tight.
"How are you doing?" He whispered into her ear.
"Alright… I think." She said.
"Do you want to talk about it?"
"Sure."
They finally reached their table and sat down. Everyone else was either dancing or getting some punch.
"What did he say to you?" Jace asked.
"He told me he was in love with me then he unexpectedly kissed me."
"I'm gonna kill him."
"Jace " Clary sighed. He's not actually going to hurt him…
"Hey Clary,"
She looked up and saw Tessa with Jem.
"Hey."
Tessa sat down and asked, "What's wrong? Why were you crying?"
"Simon." Jace said simply.
"Okay, let's go to the toilets and get you cleaned up. We'll talk about it there."
Clary nodded and they stood up and went to the direction of the restrooms.
"So…" Tessa started."
Then Clary explained the whole thing to her. "And he pushed me up against the wall and kissed me. You know about what happened to me when I was fourteen so that brings back awful memories."
One day when Clary was fourteen she was walking home, alone, late at night. Two guys suddenly appeared. One behind and one in front of her. They were both dunk and started to drag her into a silver van. Thankfully, Jace, Jordan and Sebastian somehow showed up and beat the two drunks to a pulp. They called 911 after. Ever since that night her three friends always made sure she was safe and with someone. Only their little group knew about what happened that night.
"Aww hun!" Tessa took a paper towel and dampened it. "Here, clean up that make up."
Clary took the wet paper towel and wiped her cheeks with it. Tessa handed her some mascara and Clary applied it.
"There see, all better. Do you want to go home?"
"No, this is the night I was supposed to be happy on. I'm not gonna let anything ruin it."
"Good point. Who knows, you'll probably be prom queen!"
Clary smiled. "Yeah, probably."
They both left the restrooms.
"Clary!" Isabelle whisper-yelled.
Everybody was crowded in the centre.
"They're about to announce prom king and queen!" Izzy said.
"Okay, so the prom king is… Jace Wayland!" The principal announced.
Everyone started to applaud and Jace walked up to the stage.
"Jeez guys," Jace said. "Thank you so much for voting for. I love you guys!" He put the crown on.
"And then the prom queen is… No surprise. Clarissa Morgenstern!"
Clary's friends all smiled at her and she walked up to the stage.
"Wow. Thanks so much for choosing me to be prom queen!"
"We love you Clary!" She could tell it was Sebastian that shouted that out.
"Thanks again everyone!" Then she blew a kiss to everyone and put the tiara on.
Then a slow song came on and everyone started to dance with their dates.
"I'm fine. Before you ask. I'm fine."
"I was gonna say that you look like a princess. With that tiara and dress. You look gorgeous."
"I Thank you." Clary said.
"No problem." He winked at her.
And everything was perfect for once, despite what had happened earlier.
"I love you." Clary whispered.
Jace smiled. "I love you too."
Then he leaned down and captured her lips with his. The kiss was sweet and passionate.
A bit of fluff at the end for you guys ;)
And I know that I said that Simon doesn't feel anything more than friendship and that is true, you'll understand in the next chapter!
