Heeeey, everybody! Soooo sorry for the long wait! I had a bunch of stupid homework, and school just sucks (but you know, when does it not?) so I've been working on this for a whole two days. WHOOP DE DOO! :D So, anyways, here's your chapter. Hope you like it!

Disclaimer: Yeah, yeah, yeah. I know. I don't own MI, Cassie Clare does… Blah blah blah. Just get on with the story already.

CHAPTER 6: HEARTBREAKER

Clary's POV.

It took me a full thirty six and a half minutes to get back to Boston, tell everyone to pack their bags, and get them back to New York. It wasn't easy, and went a little something like this.

THIRTY SIX AND A HALF MINUTES AGO

Luckily, I managed to get out of the Institute without a Shadowhunter seeing my pathetic tears. I was a badass girl now, I can't have that image ruined. 'C'mon, Clary! Pull yourself together! Are you badass, or are you not badass?' I thought to myself, now standing on the sidewalk in front of the Institute. 'You are a badass, so you need to act like a badass!' I thought, angrily wiping my tears. As I walked to the portal, I assumed a battle with myself.

Jace doesn't love you anymore. Get a grip, jeez. What are you, thirteen?

He does to love you! He's just saying that to get back at you.

What the hell are you talking about? Clary, you need to move on. Be with Caden. He likes you.

But you loved Jace first! First loves always end up together in the end!

Get out of your fantasy world! That only happens in the movies. And fairytales, and if you hadn't noticed, if we were in a fairytale, the author was either high, drunk, or both.

Why do you have to crush Clary's dreams? I'm trying to help her, you negative idiot!

I'm trying to bring her back to reality, you overly positive dumbass!

That's not reality! That's a horror movie! She should still hold on to Jace. He was lying.

This is the real world. Stop lying to yourself. He doesn't love you anymore. End of discussion.

By that time, I was already at the portal, standing stupidly in front of it while my inner demons tried to decide if I should move on or not. "Shut up," I mumbled to myself, stepping into the portal, and being whisked back to Boston.

I landed smack on top of the coffee table in the Institute living room. Being the klutz I am, I lost my balance, and fell face-first onto the couch. Until I was already falling I hadn't seen Caden napping there, and I landed right on top of him, smashing our bodies together. 'Oops' I thought, taking in the full shock of my fall. Caden jolted awake with the impact. His big, blue, shocked eyes landed on me, and rested there for a second. I stared back into them, a most likely embarrassed blush creeping onto my cheeks. His shock faded away after a minute, and a cocky smirk replaced it. "Hello to you too," he said, and I grunted and climbed off of him.

For the next ten minutes I ran up and down the hallways, making sure everyone was packed and ready to go. After checking, rechecking, and re rechecking, I was sure that everyone was ready, and went through the portal into New York City. The whole time I was doing all of this, every single time I would see Caden, he would wink suggestively at me. I would glare back at him.

We all walked silently towards the big oak doors that lead inside. I was dreading seeing Jace again, upon hearing the news that he had moved on, and didn't love me anymore. I was still extremely confused by my feelings for him, and for Caden, and I didn't really know if I still loved Jace or not, and I knew I liked Caden, so I felt that something bad was bound to happen there. I just didn't know that I was this bad of a person yet, so I'll just get on telling the story.

We rode up the elevator in silence. I was too nervous to talk, and everyone else was just excited to meet my old friends. I could also tell that they were jealous about the New York Shadowhunters having an elevator in their Institute, but no one wanted to talk about that. The elevator finally squeaked to a stop, and I wrenched open the doors, to find Isabelle, Jace, Alec, Maryse Lightwood, Robert Lightwood, Luke, Magnus, and my mother looking back at us.

Suddenly, Mom broke into tears and grabbed me, pulling me into a bone-crushing hug. Through her tears, she wailed, "Clary! Why'd you leave! I thought I would never see you again! I love you so much!" I was crying a few tears of my own. Someone pulled me away from her, and I was suddenly engulfed in Luke. "I missed you," he mumbled into my hair, and I said, "I missed you too, Luke."

Magnus was given a hug next. "I know I don't tell you this much," he said, "but I think you're my favorite Shadowhunter. Besides Alec." I smiled at him, and looked at Alec, who was blushing.

I stepped away from Magnus, and said, "Hello," to Robert and Mayrse. Mayrse gave me a quick hug, and said, "We missed you, Clary." I smiled at her, and turned back to the Boston Shadowhunters. I jerked my head toward the others, signaling for them to come out of the elevator so I could introduce them.

One by one, I told everyone each other's name. "Carson, this is Isabelle, Jace, Alec, Mayrse, Robert, Luke, Magnus, and my mom. Everyone, this is Carson." The New York Shadowhunters nodded at her. I had gotten through everyone's name but Caden's. I pulled him over to me, and said, "Caden, this is Isabelle, Jace, Alec, Mayrse, Robert, Luke, Magnus, and my mom," I motioned to each one of them in turn. Then, I don't know why I did it, but as soon as the words came out of my mouth, I knew I was a stupid, stupid heartbreaker.

"Everyone, this is my boyfriend, Caden."

NOW IN REAL TIME

I think Caden was more shocked that I had said that than I was. I was too busy staring at Jace that paying any attention to Caden. His eyes turned black, all the golden was gone. Everyone could tell he was hurt by what I said. I was speechless myself.

Not being able to take any more of the silence, Isabelle roughly grabbed my arm, and dragged me away from everyone else, to her room. She hastily opened the door, and shoved me in, quickly following behind me.

Isabelle slammed the door shut behind us. When she turned back to me, she looked furious. "Clary," her voice was a yell, "You can't break his heart again. You did it over and over again when we first met you, and you did it again two years ago, and I can't have you do it one more time. It really messed him up for awhile. I love you and all, and I missed you, but you can't keep ripping his heart out of his chest, thinking that when you put it back, he'll fall for you all over again. I still stand by what I said in Idris. Sometimes I wish we had never met you, or that my family and I can move far, far away, where we will never have to see you again."

Blinking my eyes to keep back my tears, what I had meant to be a shout, came out as a pathetic whisper, "I didn't mean to."

"BUT YOU DID, CLARY! I DON'T CARE THAT YOU DIDN'T MEAN TO, YOU DID! AND I REALLY WISH I COULD HATE YOU FOR IT! YOU BROKE HIS HEART OVER AND OVER AND IT JUST SEEMS LIKE YOU DON'T CARE WHATEVER THE HELL HAPPENS TO HIM! I- I JUST- I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU! YOU ARE A HEARTLESS BITCH!" Isabelle screamed, and when that last sentence came out of her mouth, I cringed, the full force of her words hitting my chest like a ton of bricks. Seeing my reaction, her face softened, and, running to me she said, "Clary, you know I didn't mean that. I was just mad. I'm sorry." She pulled me into a bone crushing hug.

"No. No, it's okay. I am a heartless bitch," I mumbled, backing away from her, opening the door, and stepping back out into the hallway, the tears breaking free.

*whistles* Whoo, that was depressing. I was sad writing it. I wonder what Caden will say? What will Jace do? Thank you for all the reviews, everybody. You're awesome. I might post an excerpt of Chapter 7, but I should probably write it first…. Haha, please, review me some more! Questions? Suggestions? Criticism? Just let me know, and push this nice looking button over here.

Thanks,
