When school ended, Clary walked outside and waited until she saw Jon's convertible pull up. Just as she saw his golden car pull up, she walked towards it, only to be blocked by Jace. "I'm not letting him take you home," he told her.

"Well then it's a good thing I can make my own decisions." She tried to walk past him, but he pulled on her arm to stop her.

"Clary, there's a lot you don't know about Jon. And until you do, I don't want you alone with him."

"What the hell are you talking about?"

"Please, you need to trust me."

"And why should I do that?"

"Clary-"

"What's going on here?" They looked over and saw that Jon had walked up to the two of them. "Are you bothering my sister, Herondale?"

"I'm taking Clary home, so you can leave, Morgenstern."

"No, my sister needs to stay away from you. Lets go Clarissa." Jon wrapped his arm around her waist and led her towards the car, leaving Jace to watch them with fury.

That night, Clary had trouble going to sleep. She kept thinking about Jace and what he had said to her. When she decided she couldn't sleep alone, she walked over to Jon's room. As she walked in, she saw him sit up in bed. "Hey, I was wondering if I could stay in here tonight? I mean like I did when we were kids."

"Sure," was all he said. He watched her as she walked over to the bed and laid next to him. They hadn't shared a bed since she was five and he was seven. That was the night their mom told them that her and their dad were getting a divorce. She layed so that he face was in his chest and he rested his arm on her hip.

The position made her uncomfortable, so she tried to scoot back, but he pulled her closer and squeezed her butt. She gasped and asked, "Jon, what are you doing?"

"I'm doing what I've wanted to do for a long time. And you aren't going to tell anyone." Keeping one hand on her butt, he placed the other on her chest. When she struggled to get away, he only held her tighter. He placed his lips on hers and forced her open so that their tongues touched. Clary was too scared to do or say anything she she laid still.

The next day, Jon insisted on taking her to school, so she didn't refuse. When they arrived, she ran out of the car and he went after her. But before he could touch her, Jace came up, grabbed the collar of his shirt, and slammed him against the car before pounding his fist in the older boy's face. "Stay the hell away from her and don't you dare touch her."

Jon spit blood out of his mouth and then gave Jace a twisted smile, right before punching Jace in the eye, then the stomach. "Jace!" Clary rushed over to him and helped him up after he fell to the ground. "I'm going to take you to the nurse." She placed his arm around her shoulders as she helped him walk into the building.

The nurse wasn't in her office, so Clary helped Jace sit down on a chair and went to get him a wet paper towel. When she came back, she lightly dabbed the blood of of his face. It wasn't until their faces for inches apart when he noticed her swollen lips. "Why do your lips look like that?"

"It's nothing," she lied.

"I touched you, didn't he? Did he..."

"No, he just kissed me. I've never been that scared before."

"Oh, Clary." He went to give her a hug, but she moved out of his reach.

"Tell me what's going on. How did you know he was going to do something?"

"Okay."

"Tell me everything, starting from the beginning."

"It all started when..."
