Previously:

Well Jace, I just wanted to thank you for coming out here and walking with me. I really needed the time to think."

Smiling down at her he took her hand in his, "Tessa it was my honor to walk with you," and without thought to his actions, with his hurt and anger flowing through him like ice water, Jace leaned in and whispered in her ear "Kiss me…"

Jace P.O.V

"Oh Jace I couldn...," but unable to wait for a reply Jace quickly placed his soft lips over hers brushing oh so carefully before asserting any kind of real force.

" Tessa tell me to stop if you want..."

"Jace, don't stop," and with that the two lonely souls sat there and gave each other what was left of their hearts.

Clary P.O.V

Soon after Will left her room Clary decided to go pay a visit to Jace and apologize for her behavior, after all who else could she turn to besides Si.

Walking down the corridor she quickly stopped at his door processing what she would say to him, what could she say to him. "Sorry I don't trust you with these time warped bimbos." She doubted that would be even the least bit appropriate. Instead she settled on the general 'I love you speech'.

She tapped on his door and patiently waited for an answer that never came. Bowing her head with grief she realized that he had probably turned in for the night and she shouldn't be so concerned, after all what should she have to worry about. Right? Sighing quietly to herself she went back to her room, threw on her shoes and coat and hoped that some night air would help her think things through more carefully.

Stepping outside she breathed in the crisp London air and began to walk.

Jace P.O.V

Wrong. Wrong. WRONG his mind screamed at him. Clary probably did nothing in that room, why am I out here betraying her like some lovesick tramp. NO, she did betray you by allowing Will into her room when she very well knew his intentions towards her.

Why I'm doing nothing wrong he reasoned, if anything he believed he was doing this poor girl a favor, that is until he heard a choked sob come from behind him.

"Please tell me I'm dreaming Jace."

Clary P.O.V

She couldn't believe what she was seeing.

Jace and, and that girl! Kissing on a bench in the middle of the night. Who did he think he was, cheating on her like she was one of his one night stands from the city. Slowly turning her face from despair to disgust she swiftly walked over and stared into what seemed like the depths of his soul.

"If you even so much as look at me when we get back to the institute I'll have Simon throw you out into the streets and drink you like a capri. And don't you even dare speak a word to me Jace Lightwood! I will never forgive you for this." Quickly wiping away the hot, unstable tears Clary went on with her rant. "Honestly I thought what we had was stronger than the cheap fling you just made it out to be. I...I thought that after all we'd been through you'd love me through death itself. I did. I guess I was wrong though wasn't I? Izzy was right..."

"Clary please..."

"No Jace I don't want to hear you work your way out of this one like you always do! I'm not going to stand here and listen to your lame excuses. Just seriously leave me alone," and with that she left his star struck face and sprinted down the road and around the corner, wiping tears as she went.

Finally after running for a good ten minutes she finally slowed and collapsed to the ground sobbing. Clary felt like she had been there forever when a shadow appeared above her.

"Jace, leave me alone."

"I'm sorry miss, but who?"

Looking up she realized this man was no more than a stranger, whether he meant harm or not, well at this point she could really care less.

" I'm sorry I thought you were somebody else." Smiling slightly she got up from the ground and shook his hand. "Clary."

Grinning shyly back he shook her hand in return, "Well if you don't mind me asking miss Clary, why were you just crying." Before she answered Clary decided to check this mystery man out and discovered that he was quite handsome in this weird sort of way, but honestly she wasn't in any mood to start flirting, and so she just simply answered him.

"Well if you must know I just broke up with my boyfriend."

"Ah, well I won't pry into that anymore, but if I may I'd just like to inform you that whoever this Jace boy is, he's a completely buffoon for letting a girl like you go." Handing her a tissue he offered his hand and asked if he could escort her home, " but I mean if you don't want to go back I have a spare bed back at my house."

"Oh well that's really nice of you but I should really get home."

Smiling he replied, "Well then let me at least walk you back. These streets aren't the kindest to lonely young woman."

"No no no...really I'm ok, I can find my own way back, but thank you...really." And with that final goodbye she grinned and turned back on her way to the Institute.

Not even half way down the block the mystery man called out her name.

"Clary wait!"

"Yes what's wrong!?"

"Oh...well I just wanted to know if I could see you again sometime. I don't think I could live through my life with the memory of a girl I let slip through my fingers after some mis enounter," he said in a sort of breathless way.

Shocked she just stood there and played with her hands judging whether or not she should say yes. Then thinking of Jace she made up her mind instantly. " I actually would really like that. When do you want to meet again?"

The joy that lit up his face in that moment was priceless. "Um well how about tomorrow at 2:00 at the Veranda down on Westchester. I'll be wearing white."

"Sounds like a plan." And with that he gave her a swift kiss on the cheek and went on his way, but not before quickly turning around and chuckling.

"Wow in all the excitement I forget to introduce myself. My names Nathaniel. Nathaniel Gray."

"...Nathaniel. Well Nathaniel I'm really glad I met you tonight."

"Yeah Clary, me too. Me too." In a quick flash they both went on their way, and Clary, once back in her room, just thought a small thought to herself.

What would Jace say to her now.
