Well it's been almost a month since I updated. The chapter is below but if you want to know why:

I am in 4 clubs at school. It might not seem like much, but me tell you my three main ones

Speech-I am a proconsul and hve to constantly coach people for presentations and that takes up a ton of my lunches a dearly in the morning

Robotics-Everyday afterschool from 3-5

Science Oly-I am in 4 events, and that means that I have to constantly study them and take practice tests and make meetings

I also volunteer in biology for a hour a week.

And this week has been CRAZY because Two tournaments this Saturday, on is for robotics and the other for sci oly, and combined it's over 12 hours long.

So even though I'm only 12, I bascially have almost no free time so I have a hard time updating. Sorry bout that! I try, but time slips away.

So that's my rant-here's the story:

Clary POV

Nothing, then everything. I'm standing alone in a forest. Nothing in my surroundings but trees - if you could call them that. More like massive objects that are looming above my head, and their shadows so long and dark I can hardly see the floor. But what I can tell is it is the counterpart of the trees. Thick moss sinking my feet into it with every step, a murky swamp green.

Everything about this place I am in screams "danger go away!" But I can't leave. Can't go away form the tranquility that have found. I'm finally alone. Nothing but peace surrounds me. Then it's all gone.

"Freak"

"Loser"

"Nobody"

Words that's all I can hear now. Every shred and safety of this... forest has left. The words are right in front of me now, swirling in front of my face and being called out by a high pitched girl. A voice that only belongs to one person.

Aline.

Revealing herself from the tree she was hiding behind, all she does is speak.

Shaking and squirming I can't escape from the binds that hold me. Every movement makes the ropes around my body tighten. Then she's growing taller along with the trees.

I'm falling. Somehow I'm stuck in quicksand and sinking fast.

With that menacing sneer of hers, Aline leans over, and says one last word.

"Worthless"

Nothing is all that remains.

RING RING

Gasping I take in what surrounds me. A tree, the blue sky, and the building behind me. I have to be in school? It was all a dream? I can't even find peace in sleep now! The one place I don't have to think or process what's happened to my life.

What day is it? December 1st.

One week since I fought with my mom and ruined everything with her.

Two weeks after I was out of the hospital

Three weeks since Jace saved me from the car

Four from when I trusted someone and it was all a scam

A month from when I lost my best friend, and my life began falling apart at the seams.

Great. Lunch is now over and I'm stuck going to my least favorite class. Math.

o.0.O.0.o

"Clary can I talk to you for a minute?" You know I kinda have more important things to do then to talk you Mr. Starkweather.

"Sure."

"Your grade in this class has not improved on bit, in fact the test we just took was the worst one for you." Well I was oh I don't know IN THE FREAKING HOSPITAL SO I DIDN'T HAVE TIME TO DO MATH!

"I was in the hospital, I just got back today so I haven't exactly had time to study this class or any."

"While that is true, the lest that you could do was show up to your tutoring. Mr. Wayland will be here in a couple minutes today as it is Tuesday and that is your tutoring day. And no protesting, if you don't get at least a B on the next quiz, then either have tutoring more often or fail this class and stay back a year. We wouldn't want that now would we?"

"No we wouldn't. I'll wait in here, but could it be possible that I could get another tutor?"

"I'll look into the matter, but for now just keep on with Mr. Wayland." He finished with that menacing little sly grin as he exited the room.

o.0.O.0.o

"Clary?" I really can't get another tutor?

"So what are we going to do first? Mr. Starkweather gave me back my test and he wants-"

"Actually I wanted to talk to you first before we started, look I would never want to get close to you for the sake of hurting you and I know that I might have a rough past I would never hurt you." The pain in his eyes, hunched stance, the voice with sadness just pouring out. It had to be a trick. No way that Jace could actually want to go out with me or anything real.

"Why can't we just work on the math, I can't fail this class."

"No Clary I need you to believe me, forgive me for everything that I've done, what I've let Aline do to you. Please."

"Jace I'm not one to-"

"Can I at least prove myself to you then? Can I show you that I'm a better person. That what you said to me a couple weeks ago actually changed me for the better Clary. Just give me one more chance, that's all I want. A chance."

Is this Jace or Aline's minion? He did break up with her and I haven't seen him hanging out with that group anymore so everything that he said is probably true. But he's a heartbreaker-they get close to you and leave you crying when their done. But all he wants is a chance...

"If I don't forgive you, will you leave me alone?"

"If that's what you want, then yes."

"Fine. But one chance."

Maybe I could forgive Jace one day, one day.

Simon POV (by request)

"What's Clary doing back I thought she was still in the hospital?" Clary was in the HOSPITAL! She hates hospitals and they do more harm than healing form what she's gone through. She would never agree to go to a hospital unless she was forced to or it was serious. WHAT HAPPENED TO CLARY!?

"Aline why was Clary in the hospital in the first place?"

"Why do you care? Missing you old friend and you want to crawl back to her miserable little feet ?"

"No, I just want to know what put her there and who I can thank." The lie was bitter coming off my tongue, but the grin Aline was what I needed.

"I don't know exactly, something about a car and something happened to one of her ribs and shoulders."

"Thanks, I'll see you tomorrow."

Clary, the girl who put all her trust in me and I in her. Well, expect for the fact that I'm in love with her because I wouldn't be able to accept rejection. That's exactly what happened and I did wrong. I always helped her on her homework, especially math, she can make heads or tails of that-now how was she doing in her studies.

Clary was my everything and I let her go. I pushed her aside. Instead of embracing the fact that she doesn't reciprocate my feelings, I turned against her. I became friends with her moral enemy and told her secrets. All I've been doing is bring down Clary. She doesn't have any other friends beside me, now what is she doing? Everyone is against her and there is not one to support her.

I've left the person I live most defenseless in on of the worst times.

What have I done?

I finally did another Simon POV
