In Jace's perfect world Clary and him would be together there would be no reason to stay apart any longer and he couldn't help but feel a little more than cheated.
Clary he said in a disinterested manor, he knew that if he acted cold and distant it would help her move on quicker. He had to hurt her, hurt the one girl he swore to protect.
I- uh I was just trying to clear my head, thought this seemed like a good place. I can just leave.. Clary was hurt, he was just sitting there looking everywhere but at her, and she knew he didn't want her there. She started retreating out of the room when she turned around. She wasn't going to walk on eggshells around him, she wanted answers and she wanted them now.
Jace, what's going on? Why are you avoiding me? She just barely managed to spit out the sentence and looked down into his eyes. He looked over at her lazily and smirked. I wasn't aware I was such a hot commodity Clary, I've just been busy, I had people to see things to do. He tried to act nonchalant about the whole thing but he could tell his disinterest was really getting to her. He knew how to get her to give up on him, the words he needed to say to end this whole conversation and relationship for good, but somehow he just couldn't choke them out.
I thought you'd be happy to see me, it's been 3 months.. I- I waited this whole time, I was excited to finally be with you.. I just thought you'd feel the same. She bit her lip and tears started to threaten to spill, but Clary kept her gaze even and her tone from shaking too badly.
Look Clary I don't want to hurt you, I didn't mean to lead you on that night at the celebration. Look, I really tried but let's be honest this whole forbidden relationship was so much more fun. I'm just simply not interested in you anymore. I got what I wanted and it was fun kid, but that's all it was. Fun. Now lets move on and leave all that in the past alright? Jace gave her one of his world class smirks hoping that he in fact got the point across, but as he looked into her eyes he almost ran to her right then. He could see the defeat clearly in her face, the tears that were threatening to spill, the complete and udder relation that all of her fears were in fact correct. He never wanted to see Clary with that face, but he was the one that put it there and he had to follow through. There would be no safety for Clary if she didn't leave now. Look I know you're hurt, but let's face it you're a mundane and you always will be. You're selfish and rash you make decisions on a whim and you need to be with your people, because Clary no one thinks you're one of us. Jace saw the first tear fall and looked away from her, feigning disinterest.
You are the most selfish person I know Jace, I believed in you when no one else would, I... I love you.. Why? Clary was full on crying now, she wasn't even trying to hide her tears from falling any longer. She wrapped her arms around herself and looked at him, begging him, urging him to tell the truth to say he was just being an ass and that he did love her and want her. But those words never came.
Clary honestly, you want to know why? You're a goody goody mundane with weird powers, it creaps me out. You're always getting yourself into some sort of trouble and you expect everyone to drop what they're doing and help you whenever you feel the need to stir some trouble. I'm sick of always having to look out for you, to protect you. You're weak and a terrible excuse of a shadow hunter. Why don't you just do us all a favor and leave and never come back huh? With those last words he stalked out of the garden and to his room, slamming his door in frustration. He knew this would destroy her, and that's exactly what she needed if she was going to survive.
Magnus you need to be quiet if you wake up my Mom or Dad there will be Hell to pay Alec was trying to sneak Magnus into his room so they could have some alone time, but every time they took a step he would start giggling. He apparently went out and got drunk before coming over this evening and Alec wasn't too happy with the outcome. His Boyfriend had been hiding something from him, he just didn't know what, but it was causing him to act like a real class a ass.
Oh Alec darling I do apologize, Chairman Meow and I were having such the extravagant quiet night at home when I just had the urge to get some air. On my perfectly innocent walk I stumbled across a fellow who wanted some change for booze. Instead of simply giving him the change for whatever cheap alcohol he was going to imbibe this fine evening I decided to take him to a quite fancy place and well you know. One drink turned into three and then twelve and now here I am my dear. Alec sighed heavily and helped Magnus into the room, trying to gently shut the door. What am I going to do with you Magnus, why won't you just tell me what's going on? I can help you He had said the exact same thing to Magnus several times by now and each time Magnus replied with a heavy yawn and begged to be cuddled.
Alec knew if it was affecting Magnus this way, something bad was happening and he had a feeling it had to do with Clary.
Dimitri was wandering the halls of the institute, he knew where everything was, it held a similar layout to all the institutes he's been to before. But he found it comforting to find subtle differences. He was a hired hand, one to push reluctant shadowhunters to their best. He knew he objective this time would be more difficult than the others, at least they had been born and raised shadowhunters. This Clary girl might as well have been born a mundane with her lack of knowledge and fighting skills, she would be completely useless as a shadowhunter if not for her special abilities with creating runes.
He was to start practice with her tomorrow and each week report her progress with the Chansoler, he was certainly taking a special interest in this unruly and feisty red head. But then again who could blame him, she had good looks and special abilities, power goes a long way in this world. He knew that Jace was going to plan on intervening someway but that was no matter to him. The more Jace pushes himself away from Clary the closer Dimitri would get to her himself. He would complete his objective no matter the costs. He was truly the Chansoler's servent.
Okay guys and gals sorry it's taking me so long to update I've had a hell of a day with car problems and friends lol. But hopefully the chapters will keep popping out. I know it may seem quite confusing now but don't worry I have a direction and I'm working to get there lol = D
