Hey guys thanks again for actually reading this story, you have no idea how happy I get when I see an alert from the story. Also thanks to guest reviewer, Sasa, I can't PM you but your reviews are so sweet. And no this won't be a pregnant!Clary fic because somehow in his drunken haze Jace knew to put on a condom. Remember girls protection is key to avoiding an STD! (I thought that was clever thnx)

I heard a crackle of foil before Jace entered me and I was lost in a blur of ecstasy.
When I woke up the next morning it felt like my head was splitting open. I groaned and thought to myself that this must be the worst feeling in the world. That was of course before I got up and saw a distinctly male and shirtless body sleeping next to me.
Oh God. It was Jace. Shit.
For a moment I tried to convince myself that maybe nothing happened until I felt a soreness down there.
I lost my virginity to Jace Lightwood while I was drunk. Shit.
I was wrong before, this must be the worst feeling in the world. I held my breath as I slowly lifted the covers and slipped out of bed, thanking God because for once in my life I woke up early and Jace was still asleep. My nudity confirmed that my worst nightmare really had happened. I had no time to freak out because all I knew was that I had to get out of here, reassuring myself that I could have a panic attack when I got home. I quickly slipped my dress on and grabbed a sweater from Jace's closet so that I wouldn't feel so exposed. I tiptoed across the room and picked up my heels praying that Isabelle and Alec weren't awake yet on a Sunday morning.
As I left the house, I realized that I didn't have a ride home. I put my heels on and walked across their dewy lawn to hail a taxi seeing as my house was far from the Lightwoods'. By the time I got home all I wanted to do was either cry or have a nice long nap. I walked up the stairs and put the key that I always carried around in the lock, thankful to have avoided Madame Dorthea, my neighbor who probably would've made a big fuss about what I looked like and told my mother.
"Hellooo, mom? Is anyone here?" I called out.
I breathed out a sigh of relief when no one answered back but found a note on the table in my mother's handwriting. Out with Luke. I'll be back at 2. We need to talk. I groaned, not looking forward to "talking" with my mother. She would probably just yell at me until I gave up on trying to get a word in.
I went to the bathroom to take off my clothes and that was when I realized I forgot my underwear in Jace's room. Shit. What more could go wrong in one day? As I turned on the water and got in the shower I felt everything hit me like a truck.
I had sex for the first time last night. With Jace Lightwood.
It wasn't like I was waiting for marriage or anything, but I had hoped my first time would be with someone I cared about or even liked, not with someone I hate. I felt the water in from the showerhead pelt my skin and drop down like the tears I forced myself I wouldn't shed. Knowing Jace, he would probably brag about finally getting to that stubborn Clary Fray to all his friends or even to whole school. I felt like those whores at school that Jace always used then threw away. Just the thought of that disgusted me but then I realized maybe Jace wouldn't remember what happened. He was drunker than me and he never saw me in the morning. Even if he did remember, I could play it off like it wasn't me. I felt small reassurance thinking these things as I stepped out of the shower and wrapped a towel around myself.
When I walked out of the bathroom I went to my room and there I started to put on some comfortable pajamas, knowing I wouldn't be going anywhere today. Just as I finished I heard my cell phone ring with Simon's contact on the screen.
"Hello?" I answered.
I heard a breath released on the other end. "Hey Fray, it's Simon, I'm glad you're okay. Sorry I kinda ditched you at the party last night but you'll never guess what happened to me."
With everything that had happened I'd forgotten that Simon had left me at the party, it seemed unlike home to just leave without looking for me. "What?" I replied.
"Isabelle kissed me." He said with a tinge of excitement in his voice. "I mean I don't want to get my hopes up or anything because it might've meant nothing to her. But I left her house feeling like I was in a dream and I totally forgot you until this morning."
"It's okay Simon, and that good for you, really." I said.
"Are you really okay Clary? You can tell me if something is wrong." He said worryingly.
I contemplated telling Simon about what happened with Jace, thinking it would be nice to get it off my chest and who would be more understanding than Simon? But that would make things more complicated and at this point I just wanted to forget what had happened. "Nothing's wrong, I'm just a little tired." I said feeling a bit guilty for lying.
"Oh, okay well I have to go now, bye. I'll see you tomorrow at school."
"Bye."
I laid down in bed thinking a nap would be nice to forget what had happened for a while.
I think I might start to space out the updates but only because I have to work on stuff for school and I might not have that much time to write. I know I'm a terrible procrastinator. I'm still probably going to update like every two days haha. Review?
