Sorry for the wait 3! But like I said in the last 'chapter' I have an honors project due by the 29th and I am way behind on it so I am kinda' cramming…..and as much as I love to write I don't think it is a valid excuse for a 365 pt project. Well anyways here is the dinner chapter! And shout-outs to the people who have added my story to their author and story alerts, I really appreciate it.

Songs That Helped inspire this Chapter

-Things I'll Never Say: Avril Lavigne; -Soldiers Poem: Muse; -Painting Flowers: All Time Low;

-Keep Holding On: Avril Lavigne; -Push: Avril Lavigne; -My World: Avril Lavigne;

-Pressing On: Relient K; -Nobody's Fool: Avril Lavigne

Yes I love Avril Lavigne 3 she's amazing. And well I basically wrote this chapter at 2 am for you guys so that way I don't look like a loser writer who never has time to write! This one wasn't really a well thought out chapter just for the simple fact that I have been really busy, but I do hope you like it, and I promise that once I am done with my project and school starts I will be posting 10x more and having better written chapters and not ones that were think as you go along types.

3 you!

PREVIOUSLY

"Um so Will," she asked quietly, as he looked down at her, eyes gleaming with lust, "what now?" The shadowhunter smiled.

"Well now I think, it's time for dinner."

JACE P.O.V

Jace looked across the table and into the blond girl's gorgeous eyes, eyes that seemed to hypnotize him more and more the longer he looked into them. They were like orbs…..large and blue, but with tiny flecks of green and hazel that rimmed her pupil, making them even more beautiful. Then her skin; he'd never seen skin so creamy and white, so beautifully cared for, so silky and soft looking that he could almost imagine what it be like to slide his fingers down her cheek and throat. His eyes moved lower until they were met with her lips, which at the moment were curved into a smile responding to a joke that Clary had just told…..Clary. That snapped him out of his love stricken haze. Love? No, Jace couldn't be in love…he was already in love. With Clary. The love of his life, the one he had waited so long for, the one he had fought for and could finally claim as his own. He shut his eyes softly and thought about her. Her fiery red hair, her silky skin, how warm and soft her lips were when he kissed them in the middle of the night.

He opened them again and saw only her, the one he was truly in for, the only girl he could ever have eyes for….or so he hoped.

CLARY P.O.V

She saw how he'd just looked at Jess, she saw how he slightly blushed when the girl gave a grin acknowledging him. Clary saw the way his eyes had traveled down her body, slowly and carefully. She also saw how he'd acted when they'd met Tessa, the gorgeous book geek. The looks and smiles finally became to much to bear and Clary finally decided that she didn't want to stay around for the introductions that would soon be taking place. She just wanted to go to her room and cry herself to sleep. She lightly excused herself, turned around and headed towards a random hallway lined with doors, until a familiar voice called from a few feet behind her.

"Clary…where are you going?"

"Si not right now…..I just really need to think, and maybe draw."

"You don't know where you're even going! Just come back to the dinner! Jace is back there waiting."

"I don't care," she yelled and froze in her tracks turning around, "but please go ahead and tell me why you came after me and not my own boyfriend! Huh? Tell me that and I will turn around right now and go finish that stupid dinner!" Tears were now welling up in her eyes, blurring her vision. "Simon…..just tell me?" She looked up at her best friend and waited for the answer.

"You know Downworlder she's right…..why didn't her boyfriend come after her first instead of waiting until she practically broke down crying in the middle of an unknown hallway," said a voice from down the hall.

"You know what Jace…screw you. Just go back to dinner and stuff your face with Jess's boobs and body. Then for desert you can munch on Tessa the chocolate bar! Just go away….," Simon practically yelled back.

"First of all I have no interest in chocolate at this time in the evening. It will go straight to my hips."

"You know you really are an asshole."

"So I've been told. Well anyway it's not even up to you if I stay or go. It's clearly up to Clary who she wants right now." Jace looked over at her, hope slightly glinting in his eyes, but all Clary could see was them skimming over somebody else completely.

"Hey Si….um can you just go really quick," she started until Jace jumped in.

"Told you so. Now why don't you go be a good vamp and massacre the village."

"Jace be quiet…Simon can you go and get Will so he can show us where our rooms are?" She asked softly not looking up into the broken stare of her boyfriend. Simon nodded and hurried off, leaving her and Jace alone.

"What the hell Clary? What's wrong with you?"

"I don't know Jace? What is wrong with me!," she shouted.

"Nothing is wrong with you! Why on Earth would there be anything remotely wrong with you! You are perfect to me in every which way possible!" He yelled right back….and to anyone else it would have been the perfect time to grin and tackle your one true love in an unbreakable kiss, but Clary knew better and saw that his words didn't mimic what his eyes were saying. No this is what she saw instead, 'Clary there's nothing wrong with you trust me, but I don't know if I still love you with everything I have. I feel like I may not want you the same way anymore….but I do love you. So, so much. Trust us….trust me….but don't wish on too many stars while were here….I have feelings for her to. You aren't the only girl in my world anymore..and I'm sorry for that.' , and it broke her entire being in half.

"Jace what does she have that I don't? Is it her hair? Her face? Her body? Tell me?" His face paled.

"W….who are you talking about?" He asked carefully.

"Don't make me say it….please don't." She heard him swallow.

"Clary I…"

"So I hear you guys are looking for your rooms? I just sent the rest of your group down with Charlotte, so no need to worry." Will looked back and forth between the two and could practically feel the tension. "Um sorry…was I interrupting something?" Clary shook her head.

"No, nothing at all. Can you just take us to our rooms now?" Will nodded slowly and moved forward.

"Well then, uh the entire household lives down this hallway and so will you and your friends for the time being. Would you two like to…share…a bedroom?" He asked in almost an upset tone. Clary answered.

"No thank you. We both like our personal space, and besides I'm sure Jace will be having visitors over during the night, and I enjoy the quiet. Is that okay Jace?" Clary asked with a hard note in her voice.

"Of course ,though I am positive there will be no overnight visitors anytime soon."

"Oh so later then?"

"Ok so separate rooms it is…..Jace here we are at yours. If you need any assistance Tessa is across the hall from you and Jessamine is the next door to your right. Have a nice night," Will intervened as he shut the door in Jace's face while simultaneously grabbing her arm and racing her far down the hall before she could say a word.

"Will what in the Angel's name are you doing!"

" I'm getting you to your room before that idiotic boyfriend of yours comes prancing out of his room to come apologize, and it seems to me that you aren't very pleased with him at the moment, nor are you in a very forgiving mood" He said as almost a question.

"Not really….but thank you for caring," she replied as they stopped by a large black mahogany door.

"Well here you are ma' lady. If you need anything at all please feel free to come knock on my door. Or Jem's if you want to talk about artsy things." He replied with a sort of…..proud tone.

"And where exactly should I come knocking?"

"Oh well when you go inside just turn to your right and walk straight to the far wall. Knock three times and I'll come over." He said softly as she nodded, and turned around.

"Sleep well Clarissa."

"Goodnight William."
