I am sorry that it's been a while, but I didn't know what should happen next. But now I know and I have ideas for future chapters.Here's a longer chapter, I hope you like it.

Clary walked through the house looking for Izzy. When she went into her room to look, she opened the door and found Izzy and Simon making out on her bed. Clary quickly shut the door. and made her way the the living room. She sat down and watched TV. "Hey Clary."

She turned around and saw Jace in a black T-shirt that outlined his muscles and blue jeans that hung low on his hips. "Hey." He sat next to her and she scooted over.

"Making yourself at home?"

"Yeah. If you want to change the channel you can. I mean it is your house."

"I'll watch this with you." He moved closer so that their legs were touching and placed his arm on the couch behind her. "So-"

"Why were you adopted, Jace?" She interrupted.

"It doesn't really matter. It happened and now it's over."

"Please tell me. If you want us to be friends, we should be honest with each other."

He took a deep breath and got ready to tell her. "My dad died. He was driving when a car came out of nowhere and hit him. He died as soon as the ambulance reached the hospital." She stared at him, her mouth wide open.

"I am so sorry, Jace. Why didn't you tell me. I wouldn't have acted like such a bitch when we broke up if I had known."

"There's two things wrong with what you just said. The first, you had a right to yell at me Clarissa. I mean, I kissed someone else right in front of you. So, no, you weren't acting like a bitch. The second thing is that I hate it when you say 'we broke up'. We," he pointed to them both, "did not break up. You broke up with me."

"No, my brother broke us up. But still, I am really sorry about your dad."

"Thanks." They looked back at the TV and Jace start twisting a strand of her curly red hair around his finger.

When Clary noticed what he was doing, she turned to face him, and he kept his hand in her hair. "What are you doing?"

"This." He moved their heads closer and closer together. Then, before she could object, their lips were pressed against each others. He pulled her closer to his side. She tried to push him away, but he only pulled her closer. Eventually, he was pushing her so that she was laying on the couch and he was hovering over her. She couldn't control herself when she tugged on his t-shirt to bring his body closer to hers.

"Are we interrupting something?" Clary and Jace broke apart and sat up immediately when they heard Izzy speak.

"Yes, you are," Jace said while giving his sister and her boyfriend a look saying 'Now get out of here so we can finish'

"No, you aren't," Clary said at the same time.

"Good, because Clary came over for a movie night, not a make out with Jace night. Simon, Jace, you two get popcorn from the kitchen," Izzy ordered. "Magnus! Alec! If you want to watch the Titanic, you better get your asses down here!"

Jace and Simon walked into the kitchen and Jace handed Simon the popcorn to put in the microwave. "So you and my sister?" Jace asked while they waited.

"Yeah. Me and Izzy."

"If you hurt her, I will hurt you. I've never seen her like someone this much, so I would not hesitate to hurt you." Simon tried not to look frightened, but he knew that Jace was tough and could easily beat him up.

"Stay away from Clary."

"What did you just say?"

"Clary is my friend. I know that you've hurt before and I don't want it to happen again. Besides, if you saw her boyfriend, I would be scared to make another move on her." Simon saw what Jace saw earlier that day with Clary and Sebastian, so, like Jace, he assumed that they were dating. But he didn't know for sure.

"I'm not scared of him. Clary will see that I'm the better person and will want to be wit me, not him."

"You aren't jealous, are you Jace? I'm being serious. I really can't tell if you're jealous or not."

Jace sighed and prepared himself to admit his feelings. "Of course I'm jealous! I mean, Clary was always my girl, my friend, then my girlfriend. I don't like seeing her with other guys. Hell, I almost strangled you when I saw you with her. She's mine. It was always supposed to be that way. We were supposed to end up together. Now I see her with this older guy and it just feels different. I mean, she used to jump into my arms and kiss me like that. How can I not be jealous that there is another person to make her happy like I used to?"

"Dude, you do realize that you slept with all the girls at school right?"

"It was my way of proving to myself that I was never good for Clary and that I would never be good for her."

"You have it bad for her. But that doesn't mean I give you my blessing. -"

"Who said I was asking for your blessing?"

"Fine, whatever. But if you want my advice, be her friend first and show her that your the better person before you do anything else." The timer on the microwave dinged and Simon got the popcorn and went back out to the living room where he saw that Alec and Magnus had joined them.

After thinking about what Simon had said to him, Jace followed and sat in the chair farthest away from Clary. If he was going to follow Simon's advice, he would have to stay away to keep his hands off of her.

I hope you liked it. If you have any questions or suggestions, I would love to hear them. :)
