Thank you all for your constant support !
Clary hadn't talked to him all day except to thank him coolly for defending her in front of Sebastian. He felt as if he was going mad. He could have never imagined that someone could be so cold. He didn't know what to do anymore. He had apologized to her infinite times, still, she wouldn't forgive him. However, she did have feelings for him, then she wouldn't be that upset. She wouldn't have cared that much if she didn't have feelings for him. He already missed her. She was right next to him in bed, reading, and he missed her.
He called Simon and Isabelle and told them to come to their room to discuss the whole Sebastian situation. After 20 minutes,they knocked on the door.
"What took you so long?" Jace asked, answering the door.
Simon cleared his throat."We got.. held up."Isabelle blushed.
"I see." Jace said, feeling jealous of Simon . He would have never thought that Simon would turn out to be better than him at the relationship stuff.
Isabelle sat on the edge of the bed next to Clary and the boys sat on two chair in front of them. Isabelle draped an arm over Clary's shoulders and traced soothing patterns on her arm. Jace wanted to be the one to do that but Clary wouldn't let him comfort her. Probably because he had been the one who hurt her more than Sebastian. He had only hurt her physically.
"I can't believe what a scumbag Sebastian is. You know, there was always something really off about that dude."Simon told Jace.
"Yeah, well, he's not giving up so, what are we going to do ?" Jace inquired.
"It's not like I can go to the police and file a complaint" Clary joked.
"No, but you could go to the Clave " Isabelle said cheerfully.
"What would the Clave do? They won't lock him away." Clary said ,feeling hopeless.
"No, but they could send him to another Institute" Simon added.
"We need proof for the Clave, though." Jace said.
"Yeah, something like a video or a recording." Simon said."I could take care of that. I'm good at this stuff" he continued, proudly.
"So, you would just have to get Sebastian alone." Isabelle told Clary.
"That won't be difficult to do. He's been turning up wherever I am for the past week."
"What? Why didn't you tell me ?"Jace asked, alarmed.
"Because we would just talk. Yesterday was the first time he hit on me. Plus, what difference would it have made Jace? You wouldn't have believed me anyway." she snapped at him. Simon and Isabelle exchanged worried and uncomfortable glances, while Jace just gulped.
"Anyway.." Isabelle continued. "I think you should get him in the library, because we could hide on the top floor and intervene to get him off of you."
"What do you mean get him off of her?" Jace growled."I'm not letting him near her."
"You have to , Jace. We need proof. He has to ruffle her a bit."Isabelle said.
Clary stiffened.
"It's the only way." Isabelle added.
"Yeah, just wait until he, I don't know.. hits me or tries to take my clothes off or something."
Jace got up from the chair."AND YOU THINK I COULD JUST STAND THERE AND WATCH HIM TOUCH YOU OR HURT YOU ?!" he roared.
Clary stood up as well to face him. The top of her head barely reached his chin."YOU JUST HAVE TO. OKAY ?! "
"No. I will not agree with this." Jace added , pacing through the room.
"Jace , it seems to be the only way.."Simon tried to convince him.
"Nothing will happen to her. We'll all be there." Isabelle said, getting between Clary and Jace who were exchanging murderous looks.
"I don't care if you agree or not, Jace. I'm doing it. I have to do something to free myself from that monster." Clary told him."You can either help me do it, or stay out of it." she looked coolly at him and tried to maintain a steady voice.
"Of course I'll help you." Jace told her in a low voice, calming down.
"Good. So ,it's settled." Simon intervened.
"We're doing this tomorrow, guys. Now, get some sleep and calm your tits." Isabelle added, kissing the top of Clary's head. "See you guys tomorrow." she said, leaving the room with Simon.
Clary flung herself on the bed and rubbed her eyes. Jace sat next to her, his head propped on his elbow and looked at her.
"What?" she asked, confused by the dazzled look on his face.
'Nothing, I'm just looking at you." he replied, touching her hair lightly with his fingertips.
" . I'm going to go to sleep now." she said, getting under the covers and away from him.
"Can I hold-"
"No." she aswered immediately.
Jace sighed and turned off the light. He didn't sleep that night at all.
The next day at noon ,Isabelle ,Simon and Jace went to the library. They made sure they hadn't been followed and walked up the stairs to the other level where Simon skillfully installed the video camera.
"You're so smart" Isabelle praised him, studying his actions .
"Thanks." Simon grinned, happy that he had been able to impress her.
"When is Clary getting here?" Jace asked, staring at the door nervously.
"I told her to walk around the Institute a little to catch his attention and then come in here pretending to look for a book."Isabelle answered.
"You told her to walk around the Institute alone? What if he corners her elsewhere ?"
"He won't. Because she'll only go in the crowded places."
"You better be right, Isabelle." Jace warned her.
After half an hour they saw Clary enter the library casually , taking a random book from a bookcase and sitting on one of the many couches available. In literally less than five minutes Sebastian came in and drew a locking rune on the door.
"Missed me?" he asked, smirking smugly.
Clary got up from the couch.'Not exactly." she said. "What do you want?"
"Just to talk.." he said seductively, getting closer to her.
Jace clenched and unclenched his fists, desperately trying to stay put. He could feel Simon's hand on his shoulder ready to hold him back. Isabelle was watching the scene with her hand over her mouth, afraid to even breathe.
"About what ?"Clary inquired, walking backwards until he had her pressed against a bookcase. He scraped his hand over her thigh and Jace almost threw himself at him over the railing but Simon held him back."Jace. Don't." he whispered."Not yet."
"Mmm.." Sebastian purred, moving his hands over her ribs to cup her breasts. He could feel himself harden.
"Don't touch me !" Clary pushed him away and tried to run but he backed her up against a wall.
"Oh, I'm going to do more than touch you sweetheart. "he told her."I'm going to show you the time of your life." He said, touching her between her legs, making Clary gag and desperately try to get out of his grip. "You're going to love it." he said, biting her neck."When I'm done with you, you're gonna be begging for more." he said, ripping her top apart, leaving her only in her bra. Clary couldn't take it anymore , she was hitting him and pushing him with all her strength but he was too strong and big for her.
"JACE !" she shrieked.
"Jace isn't here sweetheart. He doesn't love you like you love him,you stupid girl."
Jace tore himselft from Simon's grip and jumped over the railing landing gracefully on his feet with a thud. Sebastian turned around and saw him."What the..?"
"Get away from her." Jace warned, getting closer to Sebastian who was still keeping Clary pinned against the wall.
"GET AWAY FROM HER NOW !" Jace roared, grabbing Sebastian by the back of his shirt and tossing him to the side . He stumbled but regained him composure quickly.
Clary ran to Isabelle and Simon who were coming down the stairs. Sebastian 's eyes flickered to them."So, what? This was a set-up?"
"Surprise,motherfucker." Jace smirked as he punched Sebastian in the face."You . dare. touch . MY WIFE ?"he roared , straddling Sebastian and punching him incessantly. Sebastian pushed him off him , got up and punched him too. Jace wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and launched himself at Sebastian. They started rolling around in the room ,punching each other , kicking and knocking over everything around them.
Clary had put on a blouse and watched the scene before her terrified. She couldn't stand watching Sebastian hit Jace. She took out her whip and wrapped Sebastian in it. He struggled like a mad man to get out of it.
"Clary, I could have taken him !" Jace yelled, panting slightly.
"I know. But you could have gotten seriously hurt, too."
Sebastian laughed. "Needing your woman to defend you, Wayland? That's kind of pathetic."Jace kicked him in the face.
"At least I have someone who cares enough to defend me. Who do you have , huh? Cause Aline sure as hell doesn't give a damn about you."
Sebastian spat blood at Jace's feet."Fuck you, Wayland."
After they had reported Sebastian to the Clave , they assigned him and Aline to a different Institute effective immediately, assuring Clary that she would be safe from him from then on. Clary thanked them and watched them as they left through the portal, not before reminding them all to get pregnant as soon as possible.
