Here's chapter 5, and just a warning Simon goes WAY OOC and you will probably hate me for it, but oh well. I also realized that I always end on cliffhangers (Thank you to Carre who mentioned it), but I also realized that I have no other way to end it. I like writting with a little suspense, and if it always ends neutral then even I would get bored writting it. (No offense to people who write or like to read that, that's just me) Also the guest who commented on Simon's loyalty, that will all be answerred in the chapter. Sorry for the looong AN.

Clary POV

"I love you Clary." Simon's words rang around in my head, and they had two meanings. He could mean that he 1) loved me like family, or 2) loved me like in a relationship. I was praying for the first one. It's not that I don't like Simon or anything, I love him. Just, like a brother.

"I love you too Simon." The words lighted Simon's eyes up, it broke my heart to continue. "But like a brother." That fire was put out fast.

"You mean you don't love me... in that way?" My best friend looked as if I destroyed what mattered most in the world, I couldn't mean that much to him could I?

*Just know that the next paragraph is practically copied from City of Bones*

"I'm sorry Simon, I don't. I mean you've dated all those other girl didn't you?"

"I was trying to make you jealous!" What? "Clary," His voice was rough and jagged, anger filling his voice. "I have loved you for the past 10 years and I though it was time I finally confessed."

10 years! How could I have been that oblivious? But Simon would never lie to me like that. Would he?

"Simon I-" I am cut off by Simon pushing his lips against mine. At first I try to enjoy it, to see if I loved him back. After a few seconds, it was proved the love was unrequited so I had to pull away. I couldn't lie for the rest of my life saying that I loved him.

"It's obvious that you don't feel the same way so I'll just leave you alone." Was my best friend walking away from me?

"Simon! Simon!" He just walked away from me without a second glance. Why did I have to do that? I should have just faked it. But he would have seen through my lies and found out. That would have hurt him more. Right?

There isn't much time to process the past evening as the bell rings and I have to be at math.

But Mr. Wayland's lesson on limits are the last thing on my mind as I think about Simon.

o.0.O.0.o.

Once the day is over the first thing on my mind is Simon. I have to see him and talk about what happened. Luckily I spot him walking to his car-a beat up banana yellow one I might add-and shout his name.

"Simon!" He turns around, but keeps walking. I dash up to him not caring how many people may be watching, but I didn't care. "Simon Lewis!"

"What Clary, what do you want? If you've come to tell me how you don't love me then you can just leave."

"Simon you've know me your whole life, how could you ever think that I would have any intention of hurting you?"

"Well considering you just broke my heart in half, I'd say you are fully capable. I can't go through life just watching you carelessly dating other boys, falling in love with them and eventually marring someone else. You know what, I can. You are the the one causing all my misery so there is one simple solution. I just don't have to see you. As of now Clary why don't you find yourself a new best friend. Don't talk to me ever again, don't show up at my house, and delete my number. I'm done Clary. Have fun with your life." I was paralyzed as the Simon I once knew drives away without even sparing a glance.

I can't believe what just happened, nor can I stop the red hot tears flowing down my checks and splattering down on the sizzling pavement. It was if I had I had been hit by a truck. I couldn't process the world around me. My chest felt like it was about to collapse, my head about to explode, my heart about to give up. I was running. To where I don't know, I just had to get out of this place.

"Clary!" A voice calls out my name but I don't care who it is, and I can't have anyone seeing me like this. The tears are clouding my vision not to mention making it near-impossible to see with my glasses.

"Clary are you okay?" A hand jerks my shoulder backwards, so I can see the person calling my name. Jace. If it was any other person I'm sure I would have believed the concern in his voice was real, but I new better.

"Go away Jace." I was desperately trying to keep my voice steady, but to no avail.

"I saw ratface yelling at you, and now you are in tears. What did he say to you?"

"What he said to me was none of your business, now leave me alone." Trying to get information for Aline while I was in the worst state. Could he get any lower?

"If you are like this I think it matters."

"Jace just leave me alone I don't have time for this."

"Where are you going? You shouldn't be walking in this state." Where was I going? My only choice was home with my troublesome brother.

"I..." He knew where I lived so I couldn't tell him the truth, and I've never been much good with lies. "have a job thats not far away that I need to go to so can you please let me go?"

"A job? At least let me drive you there."

"As much as I appreciate the offer, I have to go now."

"Clary you have to let me."

"No I don't Jace. I don't owe you anything, so go bother someone else!" I practically shouted, not willing to deal with anyone else. With that I walked away and didn't look back, even to Jace's calls of my name.

Mom-I am still held up, have Jon give you a ride home again. Good thing my mom wouldn't be showing up at a school were I wasn't there.

Me-Sure thing, see you later. With that I closed my phone and departed on the long walk home.

Jace POV

When I saw Clary crying, I don't know what happened but I instantly wanted to wipe away the tears and make her feel better.

Seeing her up close, it hit me like a bullet. It was much like the night before, but she seemed to be even more hurt.

I don't even know why Aline picks on her. I know that Clary is on her bad side but Aline acts like she's the devil. I mean she definitely isn't the prettiest girl in the world. Her hair was too bright, making her eyes a dull shade of green. If you could even see her eyes behind those glasses. Not to mention how short she was, at least a foot shorter then me. Maybe if she got contacts and heels... What the hell Jace! You cannot be thinking about Clary like that! You are dating the prettiest and most popular girl in school and can't give it up for a lowlife nerd! Besides she hates you anyway.

I could not be falling for Clary, I just don't like seeing people in distress thats all. I have no feelings for the redhead whatsoever. But picturing her walking away from me, I couldn't help but feel a sharp pain of sadness as her red locks disappeared from my vision.

So that was the confession and the results. I hope you don't hate me for making Simon so cruel but it is essential for later in the story.
