Clary's POV
My mind was racing a mile a minute. I couldn't stop thinking of what happened with Jace. 'Who does he think he is?' I thought. He can't just push me away and then pull me back in again when it's convenient for him. "Whatever, screw you, Jace" I said out loud to no-one. "If that's what you want but we better not let Kaelie find out" stunned at the familiar voice behind me I turned around. "What are you doing? Are you following me?" I asked getting a little pink with rage. How dare he dis me in front everyone and then have the nerve to follow me after everything that happened at school today. "No! Why would I follow you? Where are you going? Who are you meeting? You're not meeting anyone who sells drugs are you? You're not doing drugs are you because you know what I'll have to do if you are." Jace spat the questions at me so fast I couldn't even get a word in to stop him. "Does your mother know you're doing drugs? You're father?" That was it I had to cut him off. "You're broth-?" "Jace! Stop!" I yelled in his face. "No! I don't do drugs, no I am not meeting someone who sells drugs not that that is any of your business, I don't answer to you, you made it pretty clear what you thought of me to me and to everyone. Now if you'll excuse me I'm late." and just like that I left Jace standing there for a second time.
Jace's POV
"This better not become a regular thing." I called to her referring to being left standing here by myself, but she was already 20 feet away from me. I was still curious about who she was meeting so I decided to follow her again this time though I figured it was probably best to hang back so she doesn't see.
As I trailed her I noticed she was heading to her house but instead of going through the front like she normally does she turned and went down an ally. When I looked around the corner I saw her parkour over a wall into her backyard. Deciding it was safe to follow closer I moved over to the wall and as I was about to jump over it I heard voices. One was the sweet symphony of her voice and the other, the other was the voice of the one I hated the most. Her best friend. Simon Lewis. A pang of jealousy twisted in my gut as I watched them embrace hello. Rage twisted inside me as she kissed his cheek and then he returning the affection. 'That should be me' a thought popped into my head. Everyone who knows Simon and Clary know that Simon is in love with Clary. Except for Clary of course. And that makes it worse. I couldn't watch this anymore. I had to do something to get his hands off my Clary. Before thinking I acted. I rushed forward ripping his skinny body out of her arms. "Don't touch her." I yelled in his face. I could vaguely hear Clary behind me yelling something. I think she asked me what I was doing there. And then yelled at me to leave Simon alone. Pfft as if I'd let him put his hands on her. "If you ever touch her again I will end you." I told the pipsqueak known as Simon. "Jace! You need to leave right now. I don't want you here." her voice sounded so sweet to my ears but yet stung my heart deeply causing me to freeze not knowing what to do or say.
Clary's POV
"Jace." I said again not knowing if he was even listening to me. "Please leave." I think the words sunk into him now because he slowly turned around to face me, so I continued. "You weren't supposed to be here. I left you twice!" I was almost yelling at him now. "Why did you follow me?" I had to ask. A part of me wanted him to tell me he cared for me and was wrong to treat me the way he did. But of course even if it was true Have would never admit that. Ripping me out of my thoughts Jace spoke again. "I had to make sure you weren't buying drugs but now I see it's worse, you're with Sally over there."Jace finished pointing towards Simon. "Uhh, my name is Simon not Sally" Simon interjected. " I don't really care what your name is, Dork." Jace shot back at him. I had to stop this before it got bad. "You know maybe you should both leave. Jace, you need to get yourself together, don't parade around me with kaelie acting like you don't care about me and then follow me here and pick on Simon because you're jealous." "I'm not jealous." Jace interrupted. "Don't interrupt me. I'm sick of these games you play with me. Just leave me alone. You know how I feel about you and it's clear you don't feel the same. So stop following me,stop bullying my friends, just stay away from me…. Oh and keep kaelie away from me too because I'm not dealing with that." I finished a little out of breath. Hey, stop the judge, I'm not out of shape that just took a lot out of me. You try telling the guy you love to take a hike in a big speech without running out of breath. "Ok if that's how you feel." Jace said walking back the way he came from looking a little defeated and….sad? No that can't be what I'm seeing. Jace wouldn't be sad about leaving me alone. Just more proof of his mind games. "Clary? Are you ok?" That was Simon. Forever my hero. "Yeah Simon, I'm ok. I think it's probably best if you've home too. I'm exhausted from everything. I'll see you in school tomorrow?" I asked hopeful he wouldn't be too upset that we didn't get to hang out. "Of course. I'd be exhausted too if I had to deal with asshats like Jace Herondale." Simon said leaning in to kiss me on the forehead to say goodbye. If only Simon knew how right and wrong he was about Jace.
Jace's POV
I walked home feeling like the world fell on my shoulders and was slowly crushing me. Why did I have to be such an ass to her? Why couldn't life different? If only I wasn't so afraid to admit my feelings toward her. It doesn't matter anyway, I'm with kaelie. She'll probably end up with Simon. Not to mention I'll be going to college in a year on a football scholarship and she'll be in art school in two years. Why did my life decide to screw me over so much?!? I wanted to scream and hit something. That's it I have to hit something. I picked up my pace into a run so I could get home faster.
Alec's POV
I was on the phone with Magnus when I heard the door slam shut. "Hang on, Magnus. Izzy! Is that you?" I didn't get an answer so I decided to go out and see. As I walked out of my room I saw the back of my brother Jace go into the training room. And decided to see what the problem was. "Magnus can I call you back? Jace is having a problem." we said our goodbyes and hung up. I put my phone away and went in the direction of the training room. I knocked gently on the door but no answer the only sound I received was distant grunting and blows landing on the punching bag hanging in the middle of the training room. I decided to enter without waiting any longer for an answer. "Jace what happened?" I asked not really expecting an answering him. "Just working out some sexual energy. You know what kind of a tease kaelie is." That was the answer I got but I didn't believe it for a second. " Jace, you know I don't but yet I hardly doubt kaelie is a tease so no I don't believe you.something else is bothering you." I said to him with a tone of doubt in my voice. "Just don't worry about it Alec. Is that Izzy I hear?" Jace said walking away. Sighing I followed him. I knew I wasn't going to get a straight answer so I don't even know why I bothered asking. "Who are you taking to Izzy?" Jace yelled to Izzy interrupting my thoughts. "If you must know, I'm talking to Clary about you, because you're an asshole Jace!" I heard Izzy yell down from her room. "Clary's on the phone? What did she say?" Jace's voice took a sad but excited tone as he raced up the stairs to Izzy's room only to get the door slammed into his face. Chuckling I walked back to my room. It didn't take a genius to figure out that the reason Jace was acting so weird was because of Clary.
