Ok I changed it a bit for you guys... I kinda felt that a week or whatever was too fast to forgive Jace for what he did so I lengthened it.

Chapter 10: Heartfelt Forgiveness
Jonathan talked to Jace two months ago. He told Jon that he only beat up Simon because he hurt Clary and that he hoped she understood that he was only doing it for her and that he was jealous at the time.
Despite the fact he's tried to say sorry to her countless times, she has been ignoring him and avoiding him. Whenever he was at her house with Jon, playing video games or whatever, she would either go out minutes before he arrived or lock herself in her room.
Clary was now walking up the stairs to her art class when she heard someone shouting her name. She ignored it since she knew who it was immediately.
"Clarissa!" He said.
She hesitantly stopped and turned around.
"What do you want?"
"Look, I'm sorry. Ok? I was doing it for you. I know what he did to you and he made you cry–"
"You practically chased him out of town. Out of New York!" Damn, it's hard to be furious with someone you've loved since forever.
"I know and I didn't mean to do that. It was just to teach him a lesson!"
"Why did you care so much anyways?" She asked.
"Because he hurt you. And I… I love you so much." He admitted quietly.
Clary had no idea what to say. Jace had told her he loved her before but this time, he sounded so desperate to prove to her that he really did lover that much.
"Do you really?" She asked. She knew now that he did, she just had to hear him say it again.
"Yes. Yes I do love you, Clarissa Adele Morgenstern. And I know that I was being selfish and I shouldn't have done what I did. I just really hope you forgive me because
Then he walked up to the stair that she was standing on and kissed her. Long and passionately.
"I love you too." She mumbled into the soft kiss.
She felt him smile against her lips.
Suddenly, Clary heard a door open and then a loud, demanding voice.
"Oy! You too! Get to Class!"
They both looked up and saw Mr. Taylor by the door to the second floor.
They stood there frozen for a moment.
"NOW!" Mr. Taylor shouted.
Clary and Jace both flinched from his scary, loud tone and hurried up the stairs to the fourth floor, where their art class was.
Clary was sitting under a tree, waiting for her friends to come out of their classes.
"So I heard you and Jace made up. And made out in the staircase." Clary looked up to see Aline and Kaelie taking a seat on the grass beside her.
Clary rolled her eyes.
"How does news even travel that fast?" She asked.
They shrugged. "Magic?" Aline said.
They all ate their lunch and soon everyone else in their group joined them.
"So I see you guys are all lovey dovey again." Will observed as Jace was sitting next to Clary and had his arm around her shoulders while kissing her neck softly.
"Well, you are correct." Jace mumbled into Clary's neck.
Then his lips met hers.
"Get a room, you too!" Said Sebastian.
And for once after so long, too long. Every one of them was happy.
I am also editing the Epilogue for you.
