Hey guys! Sorry that I haven't uploaded in a while, my computer blew up because of a power surge from a thunderstorm.

I stood up and ran back to my room, where Magnus and Simon had convened.
"Magnus, Jace told Alec he thinks he loves me!" I said loudly.
Magnus sprung up from my bed. "What?!"
"Alec and Jace were talking about me when I stopped to tie my shoe and Jace said he thinks he loves me!" I screamed quietly. "Oh, god, he thinks he's gay and it's all about me!"
"You can't rush into this," Magnus warned. "He needs his space to come to terms with his not so gayness."
"Magnus, what am I going to do? He said he thinks he loves me, and I don't know how I feel about him because I told myself that falling for him would kill me since he's not gay! I really want to tell him that I'm a girl, I mean, he's the only one that doesn't know!"
"Calm down, girl!" Simon said. "Don't tell him, you should see if he's really gay or just in love with you."
"I should!" I said.
Simon nodded and sat down again.
So I spent the next few days just getting to know Jace. We once actually went on a sort of date. Though he didn't all it a date. We went to the movies and saw Star Trek, Into Darkness. It was pretty amazing, and Benedict Cumberbatch was supper awesome! I fangirled over him when the movie ended, causing Jace to laugh so hard. A guy shouted at us as he passed, "Fags!" and I could tell Jace got upset.
"It's okay, just let it be." I patted his arm.
"I'm not gay, though!" he said.
"It doesn't matter. He's just yelling at us to get a rise. It doesn't matter what he thinks, it matters what we feel," I said.
We drove back in silence and when he walked me to my door, he took my hand.
"Thanks," he said quietly. "I would have gone after that guy if you hadn't talked me down."
I stood at my door and smiled. "No problem, bro."
His hand was still in mine and he didn't seem to want to let go.
"Good night," I said, letting his hand go.
"Cain?"
"Yeah?"
He leaned forward and down a little. His lips were warm and dry, shocking me with their touch. He smiled when he pulled away and walked to his room. I went into mine.
