Chapter 16: New Revelations (for Jace)

Clary

I was still so happy. I was riding the wave from this morning, as well as the wave I got from standing up to Sebastian. Gym was practically a blur, for all I could remember. In fact, nothing happened to me until I got back to the locker room. And, when it happened, I was shocked.

The smoke alarm went off, and the sprinkler system went off. Then, I remembered something that terrified me. My makeup wasn't waterproof! And, it was coming off! I ran out of the locker room heading in the direction of the gym. I didn't even notice when I passed him.

Jace

When Clary shot by me, I was surprised. The sprinklers were still going off, but the fire alarm wasn't going off, so we didn't have to go outside.But, since she was new, she might not know that. At least that's what I told myself when I went after her.

When I walked into the gym, Clary was disappearing under the bleachers. I was puzzled. Why would she do that? So, I followed her to make sure she was alright. What I found stopped me in my tracks and made me temporarily speechless.

Clary

My ankle hurt like hell, and I was pretty sure it was sprained. I leaned against the underside of the bleachers. I knew that by now, my makeup was all gone. At least those damn sprinklers and that alarm finally turned off. When I heard the noise, I didn't expect to turn around and find Jace.

There he was though, and when he realized that I had realized that he was there, he asked, "What happened to your face?"

Knowing that there was no use in lying, and that I would not be able to if I tried. So I said, "It's a long story, so you may as well make yourself comfortable."

He sat, and I began, "It all started on a regular day, when I lived with my Mom in Colorado..."

And, I told him. I told him about my entire past. About how I watched Valentine "murder" my mother. About how I moved here, and about my father and brother beat me up periodically. When I got to the part where I told him Sebastian was my brother, he gasped. I told him about what Valentine and Sebastian had done the day after Homecoming. And, I told him about the basement and the boards, and the cells, and the two people who stuck out to me, my mother and Celine Herondale.

When I got to that part I was in tears. Then, he said something I had never thought about. "Clary, Celine is my mother, who I thought was dead."

"Well, she's alive," I said, still crying.

"It's okay Clary, it's okay," he said, doing the one thing that I had been craving.

Jace

I was hardly breathing as I pulled Clary into my arms. She had been through so much, and I hadn't realized any of it. I was so stupid. She needed me, and I just sat there, doing nothing. But, I was here now. And, I would do whatever I could for her.

"Clary, please tell me we are telling everyone else this stuff," I mumbled in to her hair.

She nodded and looked up at me with something new in her expression. Before I knew what I was doing I pressed my lips to hers. I meant to pull away fast, but she had other ideas. She had her arms around my neck and her lips were moving against mine. She was kissing me.

I tangled my hands into her hair and her hands slipped under my t-shirt. It was becoming more heated, and it wasn't until I heard the bell, that I realized that we were still in school.

"Want to skip for the rest of the day?" she asked.

"Yeah. Want to talk about what we just did?" I replied.

"Sure. As long as we can do some more of it," she said, smirking.

"That's fine with me," I said.

"Good," she said, and tried to take a step. Her ankle gave out and she started to fall. I acted before I could think. I grabbed her, and picked her up bridal style.

"Hey, put me down," she said angrily.

"So you can fall over again? No I don't think I will," I replied, carrying her to a side exit. When we got outside, we went over to her car. She unlocked the door and I slipped her into the passenger side, and got in on the driver's side.

"Clary, we are going to the hospital to get your ankle checked out," I said.

She nodded,to busy thinking to argue.

Clary

I was reliving Jace and I's kiss. I had lost control the second he had touched his lips to mine, and I had kissed him so hard that his lips looked slightly swollen. We were on our way to the hospital to check out what was wrong with my ankle. It was blue and swollen, so I was pretty sure it was sprained, but even if it was, I would still need medical treatment.

I was still having trouble believing that Jace had kissed me. I was feeling more happy and alive than I had in ages. I felt free.

Author's note: So there is your chapter. Jace finally knows. And we got a bunch of Clace in there. Please review. I actually have two questions I'd like the answer to. 1. Does any one think I should get a beta? 2. Is it bad that in my head Clebastian and Climon are just there to cause Clace drama? Please answer my questions. I love you guys.
