Clary's POV

No.

My Dad can't be here.

Not when Jace is here.

I spun around out of Jace's grasp, "You have to go now," I whispered even though I knew my Dad could hear me.

"No, I'm staying." He doesn't understand, if he wants to hurt me Jace isn't going to get in the way of anything just get hurt himself.

I stood up and looked at my Dad, I stared into his eyes then took a step back and buried my head. Then to my surprise he caught Jace's top by the neck and pulled me closer to him forcing me to look into his eyes, I could see Jace starting to stand up and I just nudged him with my foot to tell him to stay down.

"Don't worry Clarissa, I'll deal with him. Bur first you." Jace was now stood up behind me so my Dad threw me to the ground and walked to Jace. Jace threw a punch but my Dad caught it in his palm and sent one straight into his stomach. He moaned with pain and fell to the floor however I knew he could still hear what was going on.

My Dad picked me back up and started talking," How many people have you told then?"

"I haven't told anyone I promise," I said. He was talking about all the abuse from when I was younger.

"That's not what I heard. It doesn't bother me anyway, im worried about you and when they find out how dirty you really are." He said it in a loud tone so im sure Jace could hear every word. I let out a light coughing sob.

"Guilty, I see. Does your little boyfriend know about all the dirty stuff you've done?"

"He's not my boyfriend." I whispered.

"What was that?" he said

"He's not my boyfriend." I said through gritted teeth.

He laughed," Oh yeh that right, no one in their right mind would love you."

Jace stood up and started to walk over to us, "Jace Don't."

"You know she's right and on this occasion very clever. Whatever you do to me, I will take out on her." Jace stopped in his tracks.

"Go back and get the others, I can handle this," I said.

"No, im not leaving you."

"What's the point of standing here and watching, just go and get them, I'll be fine."

"I'll be as quick as I can," and then he sprinted off the beach. Now it was just me and my Dad.

He dropped me to the ground and stood above me," You really don't learn your lesson do you? Thinking you can get away, I have people everywhere so there's no point hiding. Just remember I'll always be watching you."

"Just leave me alone!" I screamed, and then he slowly knelt down beside me and whispered into my ear.

"I'll never leave you alone." He punched me in my stomach twice and once in my temple, all I remember was him walking off the beach and everything going black.

I woke up when I heard Izzy's scream from across the beach. I sat up slowly and looked around, I remembered everything, and it was scaring me even more. I looked around and saw Izzy, Alec and Magnus running towards me. Where was Jace? As they got closer I started to panic. Had my dad got Jace?

"Are you okay Clary? What happened?" They all said, out of breath because they had ran across the beach.

I swallowed," I'm fine," I said in a sore voice, it was very croaky," Where's Jace?"

"He's fine, he's back at the dorms." Izzy said.

"I need to see Jace," I said and then started crying. I hated crying in front of people but I couldn't help it.

"We will take you back now," Alec said.

"I need to see Jace now." I said determined.

They all looked at each other, "Can you tell us what happened?" Izzy said.

"Jace…" Is all I managed to say and then Magnus picked me up and started walking back to their car. It must be almost midnight so I wonder how they got out of school but that's the least of my worries.

Once we arrived back at mine and Izzy's dorm, they took me to my room and put me on the bed. After they left, I couldn't stop myself from crying and crying and crying.

Jace's POV

I walked into Izzy's and Clary's dorm and saw Izzy, Alec and Magnus in the living room, in almost silence. "Is Clary okay?" I said hopefully.

"She won't talk to us, she seems pretty adamant to talk to you." Izzy said and then my heart lifted, did she really want to only talk to me? Wait, whats going on with me?

I walked towards Clary's room and opened the door. The second I walked in I saw clary sat on the bed, still in my top. She had tears all down her face and her makeup had been smudged. When she realised I was in the room she looked up into my eyes. I could see the pain from looking at her face.

Before I could say anything she ran towards me and wrapped her arms around my neck. I hugged her straight back wrapping my arms around her waist. She buried her head in my chest and started crying again.

"Clary, its okay. Im here, he is not going to hurt you." Then I lifted her up and she wrapped her legs around my waist, her head still buried in the same position. I walked over to the bed and sat us down, her legs straddling my hips and her head leaning on my chest.

"He will come back." Is all she said.

"And I'll be here for you," I replied, but if im being honest her father was so much stronger than she led on to be and I wondered how she had managed all these years.

Her quick breaths turned to slow calm breaths then she fell asleep in my arms. Not long after I fell asleep too.

I woke up to a poking on my sholder, it was Izzy. Clary was still asleep on me and my arms were wrapped around her. I looked at Izzy and she did not look pleased.

"Jace Wayland! What do you think you are doing?" she whispered carefully enough to not wake up Clary.

"She was crying so I gave her a hug and then she fell asleep!" I shot back watching the loudness in my voice.

"Why was she so determined to talk to you then?"

This made me think, why was she so determined to talk to me? I went with my only safe option, "I was there when her dad came, I guess she wanted to talk to me about it cause I saw it…"

"Fine, but were going to have to talk to Clary about it sooner or later."

"I wouldn't if I were you, she is very shook by the whole thing. She would probably explode."

"I've known her longer than you Jace," she shot," I think I would know… we just need to keep an eye on her for a while,"

"How?" I said.

"Just make sure she is never alone without one of us,"

Ok, this is my opportunity to bring up the dance," What about the dance?" I said.

"Well…" she thought," I can go with her as a friend or whatever?"

"What happens when she wants to dance?" I said hopefully.

"good point… Why don't you go with her?" Finally. At least now we don't have to find our way around Izzy to go together.

"Ok," I said smiling," Im sure she will go, I think she is just hoping she doesn't have to go with Sebastian." I said.

"You make any move on her Jace, you will be dead." And with that she left. When the door closed it must have woken up Clary. She looked up to me and realised that she fell asleep on me. The look on her face of embarrassment and her red cheeks, I couldn't tell if it was from crying or how she was sat on me.

"Thanks Jace…" she stopped," For everything." She looked at the clock and its red 6:15am," I have to have a shower Cheerleading try-outs are later, and I think your football ones are too, so you better get going." She looked down and saw how she was sat on me. If the mood was different it would be very hard not to get a hard-on but I couldn't stop feeling sorry for her.

She got up and walked to the shower.

I WILL TRY AND UPDATE AGAIN TODAY!
