AN: Hey, everyone! I'm back for Chapter 10! I'm really glad you guys enjoyed the last one! This one isn't as exciting, but it's a little fluffy, so that's good. (I think?) zanyways, I'll keep this short because the review replies get long and I don't want the whole chapter to be AN.

Meeeeeee: Yup, it was the longest so far! I'm glad you enjoyed it! Yeah, Jace is a bit OOC. I guess I made him a bit more humble because of him growing up kind of alone, he only had a few close friends so he kind of new not to pass up the oppurtunity when he saw someone he liked. Sorry about that, I hope it doesn't bother people. I checked out Cinder when I saw your review, and it sounds really interesting, I'll check it out! You should definitely read TID when you get a chance!

Shailene: Sorry, I had actually just gotten to school when I saw your review. (It was like 8 A.M.) My friend let me check on the story with her phone. I guess it was around 11 P.M. for you? I'm really glad you like it though! And wow, thank you so much! That is amazing! Seriously, that is just mind blowing to me!

Jessie.221: Thanks, I'm glad you like it!

Guest: Yup, here it is!

Disclaimer: Nope, I still don't own TMI!

I stood in a field. No one else was around. It was me, myself, and I, joined by a cerulean sky and a few fluffy white clouds hovering over miles of deep green grass. Eventually, I lay down, just admiring the sky. It was amazing how nature could just stay calm and do it's thing when there were crises everywhere. Children around the world were starving, and there were murderers and abusers running around free, but this meadow was calm, not caring about any of that. Abusers. Sebastian. After me. Jace. All your fault.

Two enormous shadows suddenly blocked the sunlight in my field. Over me stood giant versions of Sebastian and Jace, repeating a sentence in unison that they had both spoken to me before.

"It's all your fault. It's all your fault. It's all your fault. It's all your fault." I backed away from Sebastian, running towards the giant Jace. He took one of his fingers, the size of my head, and flicked me backwards. I landed unconscious about 100 yards away.

Then, I woke up. I was upside down on the floor, not in the bed I had fallen asleep in that night. I pictured the meadow from my dream, and it turning into Sebastian and Jace. I tried to convince myself that Jace hadn't meant what he said, and Sebastian was an idiot who I shouldn't listen too, but there was lingering doubt. I'd always liked to think that there's truth in everything, even blatant lies. Sometimes, it's just not what's on the surface. Maybe somewhere deep down, Jace believed it was my fault. And maybe... Maybe I did too. After all, if I hadn't dated Sebastian- There I cut myself off. I knew at that point I was being ridiculous. I couldn't have known about Sebastian's tendencies, and Jace showed no signs of insincerity, and really did seem sorry about saying that to me while we were fighting.

A knock sounded on the door. Embarrassingly, I jumped, praying that it wasn't Sebastian. Granted, I was being paranoid, but his slimy hands had a grip on my shoulder no matter where he was. It was as if he could always keep an eye on me, could always be whispering words into my ear, whether he was two feet away or 2,000 miles away.

It was not Sebastian. The darkest parts of my mind shouted. "It's not him this time. Key word: this time. He'll be here, don't you question it." I tried to expel those thoughts, but all they did was flutter back down to the depths of where they had come from.

It was Isabelle.

"Clary! Open the door! I have to talk to you!" she yelled through the wood, using her default excited voice as she always seemed to.

I opened the door, and was immediately thrown into a hug. After limply standing there for a few seconds, my brain caught up and squeezed back.

"Izzy! It's been a while! Ugh, I have a lot to tell you about! Some of its good, some, not so much.

We settled onto the couch, facing each other.

"Good news or bad news first?" I asked.

"Bad. That way we can end on a positive note."

Quickly, I filled her in on the situation. She assured me it would be okay, and that all of my friends were there. Then she threatened to do some things to Sebastian that I won't put in here because there might be children reading this. I didn't doubt she could do all of that.

"How are you doing with all of this? I mean, are you okay?" she asked?

"You know what, I'm actually doing pretty good. Of course I'm scared, but who wouldn't be? Besides, if he comes over here then I'll kick his butt. Hard." Isabelle laughed before asking me about the good news.

"Well, ImaykindasortabedatingJace." Isabelle, with her perfect hearing, somehow managed to understand me perfectly as if I had said if slowly and clearly.

"Jace? Like Alec's friend Jace? The one you pretty much hated when he came over for dinner? I am definitely missing something. Oh well. You have a boyfriend?" she said, somewhat calmly. "You have a boyfriend?!" she repeated with a look of realization starting from her hairline and eventually reaching her chin. "Clary, that's great! I'm really happy for you! I hope it turns out well!" We discussed that for a few minutes before I blurted out something, rather awkwardly.

"Is Alec gay?" I questioned after a few seconds of silence.

"Wh-what? How the heck did you- You know what, I would try to hide it from anyone else, but I know you well enough to know you're not a prejudiced person, and you wouldn't ask for no reason. Yes he is, but why are you asking?" She gave me a suspicious look, eyeing me as if trying to find out the answer from my facial expressions.

"Well my friend Magnus met him, and he really liked him. I kind of wanted to set them up, but that would require Alec being gay." I explained.

"Magnus? Magnus Bane? Alec has pictures of him from that Vogue article tacked up in the bedroom of his apartment! He tried to hide them, but there was no way I wouldn't notice. Magnus likes him? That's great, because it seems like Alec really likes him too!" I snorted, remembering Magnus's 'smoldering look' on his part of the article.

"Yes! Okay, so we should..." From there, Isabelle and I plotted how we would get Magnus and Alex together. It wouldn't be easy since Alec wasn't even out of the closet yet, and Magnus had just started getting really popular. Then again, never underestimate a Fray and a Lightwood, especially when they out their minds together to achieve something. We come from stubborn bunches.

The door once again opened, and another person joined us.

"Clary! I was thinking we could- Oh, um, hi Isabelle. I'm Jace, we met a few weeks ago."

Isabelle looked him over, as if certifying he was a viable option for me to be with. I guess when she had made sure he was clean and polite-ish, she stuck her hand out and informed him that she knew we were dating. After wiggling her eyebrows a bit and shooting me a few looks, she took her leave, stating she would give us some "alone time." I rolled my eyes and turned to Jace, who had recently gotten less pale after finally being able to spend a bit more time in the sun.

Unfortunately, I spoke the first thing that came to my mind, which meant me coming out sounding like I was insane. "You know how people in relationships always say 'You stole my heart.' and stuff? Well, we're unique that way! I get to say that you stole my kidney. That's pretty special." I smacked myself on the inside, but luckily he didn't mind the strangeness of my statement.

"You know, you say really weird things sometimes, but I like it." I blushed like a middle schooler who had just been complimented by their crush after confessing that they liked them.

"How am I supposed to respond to something like that?" I questioned teasingly.

"Maybe by saying you'll come with me to breakfast at Taki's?" he asked hopefully.

"I'd love to." I stated simply, beckoning him to the doorway. When we got there, I was ready to leave when he asked me one final question, but maybe the most important one of the day.

"Clary, you do know you're still wearing pajamas, right?"
