Chapter song: She Aint you – Chris Brown

Jace's POV:

I watched as Juliet walked Junior back to the bathroom. A second chance. She gave me a second chance. My heart felt like it was going to float out of my chest. I thought it would take days to get her back but fate was on my side. Yeah, I believe in fate and Angels but I would never admit that to anyone. That wasn't the point though. The point was I had my perfect girl back and my son. Suddenly I heard loud clapping coming from behind me. I turned and my eyes immediately narrowed.

Sebastian Verlac stood behind me with his taunting smile. To be honest, I had no idea how this rival between Sebastian and me even started. When we were in 7th grade, we were actually sort of friends but then in the beginning of 8th grade he started being a dick. I always suspected that I might have had something to do with me dating Juliet but she swore up and down that they were just friends.

"You think you're that good," he sneered as he took the seat across from me.

"I don't know what you're talking about, Verlac. Still obsessing over me? I'm sorry I don't roll that way," I mocked with a smirk.

"Do you really think I came here for you? I came here to talk to Juliet. I remember seeing her here a lot back then."

I froze and glared at him.

"What could you possibly have to say to Juliet?"

"She thinks she can trust you. She needs someone to tell her the truth."

"I am telling her the truth," I responded. I could feel the fire boiling beneath my skin.

"She trusts me more then you. I could tell her anything I want and she'll believe me over you," he answered.

"Do you have nothing better to do with your life than try to ruin my relationship?" I asked, trying not to let him see how pissed he was getting me. I wouldn't give him that satisfaction.

"Oh, I won't ruin your relationship. You'll do that yourself," he answered.

My fist tightened as he stared at me with his mocking smile. At this point, I wanted nothing more than to knock his head straight off his shoulders.

"Are you sure you did what you think you did? Is there any doubt in your mind that maybe you didn't sleep with Aline?" he continued.

It was like a puzzle was clicking together in my head. Was Sebastian suggesting that I had never cheated on Juliet? But then why did he tell Juliet I did?

"What exactly are you saying, Verlac?"

"Do you really not remember a thing about that night with Aline? How much of a brain is even big ass head of yours, Lightwood?"

"Stop being an ass and just tell me what you're talking about! I know that you love hearing the sound of your own voice but my beautiful girlfriend and handsome son will be back any minute. I don't want them to have to suffer the punishment of looking at you're ugly face."

I smirked as I saw tension fill his face. I knew it. I knew he had a crush on Juliet. I could hear Junior's little feet coming towards us.

"Hurry it up, Verlac," I urged.

He glared at me before smoothing his face and smiling.

"You never slept with Aline. She thought that you would break up with Juliet because you felt so guilty for doing something you never even did," he whispered.

"Why did you tell Juliet I slept with Aline if you knew I never did?"

I slammed my fist down on the table. I could hear my voice getting louder and feel the stares from the people in the restaurant.

"Because I love making your life a living hell, Lightwood," he responding, smiling.

"YOU BASTARD!" I shouted, reaching to grab him. He stood up and easily maneuvered away from me.

"How does it feel to lose the trust of the woman you love for no reason?" he taunted.

I lunged for him. I could hear someone running closer to us but I didn't care. Sebastian pushed me back, punching me.

"JACE! SEBASTIAN! STOP IT!"

I distantly heard Juliet's voice shouting but I ignored it. I tackled him to the ground. I stood over him and slammed my fist into his face repeatedly. I wanted his blood.

"JONATHAN CHRISTOPHER LIGHTWOOD!"

I stopped and glanced at Juliet. She stood back, watching us frantically. I looked over and saw Anna holding Junior's face away from us. I sighed and was about to get up when I felt Sebastian push me back. His foot connected to my side.

"JACE!"

I could hear Juliet yell for me but the pain was too horrible. She ran to me and knelt by my side.

"I'm fine," I groaned, holding my side. I tried not to show how much pain I was in because I knew Juliet would worry more than necessary.

"What the hell happened?" she asked looking back to Sebastian who was leaning against a table, scowling at us.

"He attacked me for telling you the truth," answered Sebastian. Bastard.

"Jace, why would you do that?"

"Juliet, he..." I started but Juliet interrupted.

"No, he told me the truth. You didn't. Why would you attack him?"

"Because he wanted to keep it a secret," sneered Sebastian. I glared at him, almost missing the frown on Juliet's face.

"Are you okay, Seb?" she asked.

"Are you serious? He kicks me but you ask if he's okay?" I asked.

"He's bleeding Jace," she responded.

"I don't care," I retaliated.

She stared at me in shock. I felt horrible for taking my anger out on her but my head was going crazy and the pain in my side wasn't helping me think straight.

"Do you need to go to the hospital, Jace?" asked Juliet.

"No, baby," I answered, getting up.

"I'm sorry but you guys have to leave," said one of the waitresses, "we can't have fighting in our restaurant."

We nodded. Juliet turned to say something to Sebastian but he was already gone. She stared at where he once stood, confused before walking over to me. She wrapped her arm around my waist and helped me walk. I refused to put my weight on her though.

"You need to go to the hospital," she stated.

"No, I'm fine. I hate hospitals," I responded.

"You could be seriously injured, Jace. Don't be stupid," she argued.

"No, baby. Let's just go back to your hotel," I stated.

She sighed and nodded her head, slightly. Junior ran up to us.

"Daddy, are you okay?"

"I'm fine, little man. We'll order you some food once we get back okay?"

"Okay," he answered.

We got into a taxi and sat in silence as we went back to the hotel. I didn't know what to say. Is what Sebastian just said true? I didn't cheat on Juliet. I glanced at her from the corner of my eye. She looked hurt and lost in thought. Would she believe me if I told her what Sebastian said?

We got out at the hotel. As soon as we entered the room, Junior ran to the bed and turned the TV on. Juliet forced me to sit down as she ordered dinner and an ice pack. The girls weren't there so I had assumed that they had gone back to the house. I watched as she buzzed around the room, cleaning up and avoiding all eye contact with me.

"I'm sorry, baby," I said pulling her to stand in between my legs, in front of me. "Don't be mad at me."

"I'm not mad at you. I'm worried about your injury and about other things," She answered.

"Like what?" I asked curiously.

"Is there anything else that you haven't told me?"

"Are you having second thoughts of giving me another chance?"

Disappointment filled my heart. She was having second thoughts.

"I just can't get Sebastian's voice out of my head. Were you ever going to tell me?" she asked looking away.

"Of course, but do you know want to know why we were arguing?"

She nodded. I took a deep breath. I had to tell her and if she didn't believe me then I would have to find a way to prove it.

"I didn't sleep with Aline," I answered, simply.

"Excuse me?" she said, staring down at me with disbelief.

I recounted what happen with Sebastian, using as much details as possible. I watched her facial expressions for any indication if she was believing me or not. When I was done, I waited for her to say anything. She walked away from and sat at a chair across from me. She placed her head in her hands and I could hear her taking deep breaths.

"Baby, can you say something?" I whispered.

"Wh-Why would Sebastian lie to me?"

"Baby, I told you years ago. Verlac had a crush on you. He wanted to break us up as much as Aline did but he was more secretive about it. He would take any chance to ruin us. Please tell me that you believe me," I begged.

"Jace, I don't know. I don't know if I believe you because you never told me. Even if it was true or not, you never told me what happen. You lied to me so I don't know if I should believe you now."

"Please, Please, baby. Don't let him ruin us. I just got you back.

I got up, ignoring the burning in my side, and knelt down in front of her. I pulled my hands from her face and stared into her eyes.

"I love you. I love you more than I should. I'm telling you this because it's what Sebastian told me. If he's just fucking with us, I'll kill him. If he's telling the truth, I'll handle it," I assured.

"How are you going to find out?"

"I'll talk to Aline tomorrow. I won't lie to you anymore, babe. I promise."

She nodded. I watched as a tear fell from her eyes. I wiped it away and kissed her lips, gently.

"I love you," I whispered.

"I love you too, Jace. I just want this to be over."

"I know, baby," I responded, wrapping my arm around her and holding her towards me.

I was going to find the truth and someone is going to pay. Sebastian, if he's just messing with my life or Aline, for lying to me.

I'm going to start doing my author's notes at the end because I know it can get annoying when you just want to read the chapter and the author is going on and on and on. LOL! I know it's been awhile since I last updated and this chapter is a little blah. I finished my finals last week but I've been sick for a while like since the last time I updated. I was bed ridden for most of the beginning of the summer :( I wish I could say updates will be coming sooner but I start summer classes next week (yes, I'm trying to get ahead with credits because I am that much of a nerd) so I'll try to get to it as fast as I can. I do want to get more reviews though before I update next because the reviews have been very minimal but I never leave people hanging long. I promise.

Thanks to my beta icyfirelove3. Read her amazing story :)

Reviews make my day :)
