Ok guys, first off is the fact that I'm so friggen excited as to how this story goes-especially since I've got this massive plot twist planned. Second- Oh My Gosh: 8 chapters, 8624 words, 12 reviews, and 1028 views?! I LOVE YOU GUYS! Third: okay so since I was really finding it hard between the two options and also since people who reviewed had really good reasons on why I should do option ½ and also since I want to do a bit of both...I've decided to have a bit of both-but I want you guys to find out rather than me telling :P – BUT long story short (coz I love u guys) is that they both knew each other when they were little and were close friends, just like their parents. it was all rainbows and unicorns then BAM their parents have a massive feud and they get separated-its only now that they both slowly realize this, and also tell each other about their feelings. But, Jace liked her first and coz of that he tries to stake his claim – okay I really think I should stop here. Fourthly and lastly: fluff times sorta over for a while- not completely but it will be a lot less, so less banter and humour, it'll be all about flashbacks, feelings, realizations, anger, frustration [not that kind ;-)] basically the story unfolds now and I'm so excited to see what you guys will think of it :-D Read and review guys, ily xoxox ~Bookzrmylife
P.S lemons will be arriving soon so if u guys have any suggestions as to where/when/how/setting/juicy details etc-send me a PM or an early review - as long as it's not bdsm I'm fine with it
PPS: I'm sorry this is a short chapter

Clary POV:
Driving to Jace's place to drop him off gave me a lot of time to contemplate everything that's happened so far. It made me realize that sometimes the people you meet/make friends with you are all for a reason. Though I didn't know exactly why Jace came into my life, in the sense that he's my friend, I guess that there must be a reason-grandma Amatis would be proud.
I remember my grandma telling me that everything in life happens for a reason and that karma plays a huge role in life so never do anything you'll regret because later on life, it'll come back to you, tenfold.
Though I've been told to ignore grandma's wise words since my mom Jocelyn thought, since we're religious and she was the preachers' daughter, that such beliefs were absolute nonsense. She believed that there was a God who judged us based on our actions and that no such thing as karma existed; that god controlled your life, each and every one of your movements monitored by him.
I'm disrupted from my thoughts when I hear a light yawn and the shuffling of feet.
Looking to my left, I notice that Jace is up and awake from his little nap in my car, golden eyes bright and refreshed, eyebrows knitted together and lines forming on his forehead from his confused expression.
It's so cute that I can't help but giggle and reach across with my free hand, while we're waiting for the signal, to pat his his head playfully, somehow taming his mass of golden curls.
It's at this moment that he realizes that he's actually spent the last 20-25 mins of the car ride dozing off and snoring lightly in someone's car, my car.
"Shit, don't tell me I actually fell asleep during the ride!" he exclaims with a hint of frustration and embarrassment, rubbing his hands over his flushed cheeks.
At this point I can literally embarrass him to know end, make him worry that he snores, talked in his sleep etc. But me being the good person that I am decided to let him out of this one. There's also the fact that he looked so adorable when sleeping, though there's no way in hell I'd ever let him know that. It's bad enough that I can't stop gawking at his beauty and now I'm having feelings for him?! Especially with his player status, I doubt things will end well if I do head in that direction.
So I try to compose myself and my feelings and give a casual reply.
"Its okay I quite liked the peace and quiet"
"Well I'm still pissed at myself for sleeping when I could've been having an amazing conversation with you Red" he exclaims, mouth formed in an o, a mock-shocked expression etched on his face.
"Amazing conversation? About what?" I reply, blinking in confusion.
"I can't believe you would actually say that Thumbels! You do realise that you're sitting next to the k king of Uni right?"
"I thought it was King of High School since you're yet to be known in Uni" I reply with a huge smirk on my face.
"Oh how you wound my ego", he says clutching his chest as if in pain "but that's okay I've still got some leftover since my fair maiden had given me time to recharge my batteries" he finishes with a wink.
I blush furiously and pretend to be fixated in turning up the heat, my fingers fumbling with the small buttons on the middle console.
Jace, being the cocky ass he is, grabs my left hand and places searing hot kisses across my knuckles, all the while looking at me.
I swear if we were actually driving I would've crashed into a pole right now. Thankfully the lights still haven't changed seeing as this is a busy high way, so I'm forced to blush beet red and hyperventilate.
"What's wrong Thumbels?" He asks stroking my flaming face "I still haven't got to the part about how I'm great in bed and my astounding stamina you know" he says winking.
If I wasn't beet red before, right now I'm on fire, matching my hair, I think it's highly unhealthy to feel this flustered by one guy. Especially Jace.
Thankfully the green light comes on just then and he removes his hold on my hand and cheek, accelerating a bit more powerfully, I make it my aim to drop him off as fast as I can and tend to my heated skin when I get home.
Surprised by it, Jace's once forward seated position flings him back into place and makes him bang his head on the head rest all the while scowling and lightly rubbing the side of his head.
"Ow Red! You know I was just joking right? You didn't have it try to kill me for it" he says with a wink.
I turn at him slightly, my eyes still partly on the long road ahead, blinking.
I'm not sure if I should be relieved that he's not seriously hurt or pissed, or if I should be pissed that he's back to being his assy self.
Muttering to myself about his annoyingness, I finally make it into the Lightwood driveway, where Jace's adoptive parents are waiting outside the doorway, arms crosses and a murderous look on their faces.
I gulp and look towards Jace.
