JACE POV

I didn't expect to go to the same college as Clary... Hell! I didn't even expect me going to college! I shook my head, laughing to myself. People were giving me weird looks, probably thinking I was crazy.. I was going to Kaelies dorm to break up with her.. And maybe to see Clary, since I saw her again, I've been developing these butterflies in my stomach whenever I see her. I don't like it. Whenever she's near, my heart skips a beat, whenever she leans or touches me, my pulse speeds up. These feelings are scaring me, they're new and I don't really want them to go away..

When I got out of the shower I knew I had to go see Kaelie and apologize. I quickly put some clothes on and knocked on her and Clary's door.

"Jace." Clary opened it and seemed as if she was at lost for words.

"Clary look, I know I'm beautiful, but-" she slammed the door on my face.

"Clary. Please I need to talk to you and Kaelie." No answer. I sighed and walked back to my room. As soon as I slammed the door I looked up and saw a girl with Simon who didn't look like Clary. "Simon. What the hell is this man?"

"Hey Jace. We're just studying." I knew what 'just studying' meant. I used that excuse over a million times. I shook my head, "Clary doesn't deserve this." I looked at him after I said it and he looked confused,

"No Jace, we're just studying, I swear." I nodded my head with my eyebrows raised, "You know what Jace, you're being a dick, get out."

"This is my room too Simon." I went into my room and called the one person who I knew would always be there for me.

Alec.

Clary's pov

Kaelie was still sleeping when Jace knocked on the door. I couldn't believe how rude he was.

"Clary?"

"Hey Kaelie. How are you feeling?" She laughed, "Clary I just got practically beat up, how do you think I feel?" I started to look at her bruises and cuts to see the extent of them.

"Kaelie.. Jace didn't leave cuts on you or her didn't grab you hard enough to leave bruises on your arms." She looked at me with a panicked and confused expression.

"Y-you wouldn't know how hard he grabbed me unless you were the one he grabbed." She was stuttering now. I nodded, and told her I was going to get some food for us. Except I just had to take a tiny detour and go to Jace's room.

I knocked on his door and Simon answered,

"Oh hey Clary.." His cheeks were starting to go a deep shade of red. I thought it was adorable.

"Simon who is that?" It was a female voice. His eyes widened at the sound of the girl's voice.

"Clary, can you come back later?" He whispered quietly. I was in shock. I mean I know we didn't decide if we were dating or just friend's but still! He has another girl in his dorm.

"Uh yeah.. J-just call me when you want to talk." I wasn't sure if I should cry or not. Then I remembered what I came to his room for, I put my foot in between the door to keep it from closing,

"Simon wait! Is Jace here?" He shook his head, I nodded.

"Simon, who's at the door?" The female came to the door and I was shocked. No wonder Simon is with her instead of me, she's stunning.

Kaelie's pov

When I left my dorm I had no idea where I was going. I looked like a mess. I know Jace didn't mean to hurt me. He was probably having a bad day, I mean he had to spend the day with Clary! I heard my phone ring, it's probably Jace calling to apologize to me. I looked at the ID and it was Clary. I pressed ignore. I looked at my arms and saw minimal bruises, nothing that I can't cover up with makeup.

"Well look what we have here..." I turned around and saw three guys, they all looked as if they were homeless and drunk. I smiled politely and tried to move past them when one of them grabbed my arm.

"What's a pretty girl like you doing out so late? Who knows what could happen at night?" I froze. What was he implying. They took their opportunity to drag me into an alley, one of them pulled out a blade.

"This will teach ya a lesson honey." I was about to scream when one of them put a hand over my mouth. They started scratching my arms with the blade. Heavy, hot tears were streaming down my face. They were holding down my arms, tightly. It felt like forever until someone came and helped me.

"Hello? Is anyone down here?" I started thrashing and screaming. I heard footsteps coming down the alley and my attackers must've heard them too because they ran.

"Hello? Are you alright?" I shook my head. I looked at him and he had glitter everywhere and cat-like eyes.

"Do you want to go to the hospital?" I shook my head, I just wanted to go home.

"I just want to go home." I said sobbing. The man nodded and drove me to my dorm. I knew when I got back Clary was going to ask my questions about what happened to my arms and head, I would just say Jace did it. I didn't want to sound hopeless and that I got beat up my homeless people. When I walked in, Clary was on her bed and I just crawled into bed. Hopefully she won't ask questions. I hugged my pillow and felt Clary come into my bed and hug me until I fell asleep.
