Clary Pov
I ran as fast as I could out of there, I had no idea where I was going all I could think about was the fact the Jace saw me act like a complete, utter freak. How will I ever face him again?
Before I knew it tears where streaming like a waterfall down my face. After about 2 minutes, I heard footsteps coming from the direction I came, without turning around I could tell it was Jace because the only other person would I think would follow me would be Eve and she wasn't there when I had the horrible panic attack.
Jace Pov
I was about to give up looking for Clary, when I heard soft crying coming from a few feet from where I was. When I saw, her sitting there it crushed my heart to see her looking so sad and broken. I walked up to her as quietly as I could, so I didn't startle her, I sat down beside her, by now she must have noticed me but she hasn't yet said anything.

"Clary" he all but whispered.
"Jace, please just leave" I barely got it out passed the tears.
"Clary, I love you I will not got way when you are hurting"
"Why?"
"Why, what?" he asked confused
"Why do you love me look at me"
"I am and I see a girl who is beautiful inside and out"
"you can't mean that"
"Believe me when I say I do"
I couldn't reply, we sat there in silence until he spoke again.
"what happened in the water, Clary"
"Nothing"
"I don't believe that one bit"
"Okay, it brought back some really bad memories"
"what sort of bad memories?"
"My dad, he wasn't the nicest" It was all I managed to get out before I broke down crying again.
But this time instead of crying all alone, Jace was holding me and somehow, I made the memories hurt a little bit less.
