Jace's POV

Personally, I'm not ready for another round of truth or dare. I'd much rather lock myself in a bathroom by myself. The look on Sebastian's face tells me he would lock himself in the bathroom with me. Clary tugs on my sleeve. I turn to her.

"Yes?" I ask. She looks like she might cry.

"You still love me, right?" She asks, tears welling up in her eyes. I open my mouth to say yes, but then Sebastian catches my eye. I stammer, before finally answering her.

"Of course." I say, my voice cracking. I lick my lips, and wince a bit. Damn. Sebastian split my lip, and they were bruised, too. I guess everything he does is rough. I quickly look away from him and try not to think about that. I look Clary in the eye. She's crying, and I don't know what to do for her. My mind is still lingering on my split lip. I put my hand up to my mouth and Clary stands. She's still crying, and she looks angry.

"Jace Herondale, you are despicable! We're over!"She runs from the room. Lillie stands and follows Clary, slapping both me and Sebastian on her way out. At the door, she turns. She looks directly at Sebastian.

"Us too." she says. "Don't bother coming home. You know Dad doesn't want you." She leaves.

For a moment, we sit in awkward silence before Magnus clears his throat.

"So," he says, "didn't someone say something about another round?" Alec shifts uncomfortably and Magnus wraps his arms around him. "It'll be fine. Really. Here, watch, I'll go first. Jace." Magnus is looking at me and I'm dragged back into reality from where I was looking at Sebastian. My face is red, I'm sure of it.

"Yeah?" I realize what my answer should have been a second too late. Magnus grins.

"Is Sebastian really a good enough kisser to distract you from the game?" If my face wasn't red before, it definitely is now.

"N-no." Sebastian smirks and touches his lips. I look away from him. "Um, dare." Magnus rolls his eyes.

"That's actually very boring. But whatever I guess." Magnus thinks for a minute. Then he grins. "I dare you to sit on Sebastian's lap for the rest of the round." I know my face is red at this point. Izzy laughs and Simon grins. Alec tries not to laugh. I can see it on his face hough. Magnus is smirking and looking extremely smug. Sebastian is glaring at Magnus before he realizes I'm looking at him. Then he turns to me and smiles. He holds out his arms.

"Well then." He says. "Come here, sweetheart." I almost roll my eyes, but instead I smile back. I go and sit on his lap.

"Of course," I say, and look Magnus right in the eye. "Of course I'll sit with you, darling." Luckily, Sebastian catches on to my little game wraps his arms around me. He rests his head on my shoulder and plays with the bottom of my T-shirt. We both look right at Magnus.

"Sebastian, dear, truth or dare?" I say. I seriously hope he says truth. He does not disappoint me.

"Why, Jace." He says. "Of course, I pick truth, my love."

"Wonderful." I say. I can tell Magnus is already regretting his choice to dare me the way he did. "Now," I say, "For your truth..." I fake thinking. "How much do you love me?" I say with a grin. Sebastian kisses my neck once, quickly, before answering.

"More than anything, my dear." Magnus looks like he's heavily regretting his choice in dares. He pulls Alec a little closer.

"Please don't." He says. "No canoodling." I raise my eyebrows.

"Canoodling?" Sebastian and I say at the same time. Magnus waves his hand as indicator for Sebastian to continue the game.

"Isabelle." Izzy was having her own little conversation with Simon, but she looked up now.

"Dare." She says. Sebastian thinks for a minute.

"I dare you to...um... tell us something embarrassing you did as a kid." Izzy thinks for a second before answering.

"Um, well, when I was 11, I stuffed my bra until I was 13." We all laugh and Izzy looks pretty embarrassed. She waves her hand.

"It doesn't matter. Alec. Truth or Dare?"

Alec sighs.

"Truth."

Izzy looks slightly put off.

"I'd hoped you would say dare. Oh well." She thinks for a minute. "Who was the first person you ever had a crush on?" Alec blushes.

"Um, Jace." Izzy looks a little surprised.

"Really?" she says. "Jace? I thought you would have liked someone before him." Alec shrugs.

"Magnus. Truth or dare?"

"I'll go with truth."

"How much do you usually spend on glitter?" Alec asks.

"I don't buy it, so..." Magnus shrugs. Alec rolls his eyes.

"Simol, truth or dare?" Magnus says. Simon sighs.

"It's Simon. And truth." He says. Magnus thinks for a minute.

"If you had to date a guy, who would it be?" He asks, grinning. Simon looks thoroughly embarrassed.

"Um... Raphael." He looks around the circle. "okay that's it. Another round?" Alec sighs. When Sebastian speaks, it's a low whisper in my ear.

"That sounds wonderful."

Well that was absolutely dreadful. My apologies. I hope it's better next time. *sigh* Anyway, try not to hate, 'kay? Later.
