The next few moments seemed to happen in slow motion. Jace's eyes met Clary's and worked their way down to her lips. Jace leaned down to meet Clary's lips with his own, the kiss was soft, loving and supportive. it was the type of kiss that made you feel safe the whole world had slipped away leaving just Jace and Clary in each other's arms. but as Jace pulled away slightly he caught his breath before leaning down to kiss Clary again.. This time the kiss was still soft but their lips didn't want to part, Clary reached her hands up and put them on either side of Jace's face. He took this as encouragement and slid his hand further up the back of her shirt whilst pulling her against him. As their bodies collided they both let out a little gasp. Jace pulled Clary backwards and lifted her up to sit her on the wall. This made them the same height and it meant both of their hips where at the same level. Jace pushed himself up against Clary sliding his arms around her back again. As their lips parted Jace kissed up the side of Clary's cheek and he whispered "I love you" in to Clary's ear.

Then Clary Completely lost herself she wrapped her hands around Jace's neck, and wrapped her legs around his back. Their for heads leaned against each other's and the tips of their noses where just touching, they were so close that Clary could not only just see her own reflection in Jace's beautiful golden brown eyes. She could see the reflection of her eyes gazing in to his.

"Jace I love you too. More than anything in this world" Clary's voice was soft. Jace looked down at Clary and moved his arms from Clary's back and set them on her stomach tracing a small heart around her belly button, he didn't have to speak he leaned down and kissed Clary feeling her smile against his lips. Although this was a amazing moment for Jace and Clary it was quickly ruined by the door to the greenhouse bursting open and a very angry Issabelle drumming her fingers against the door frame.

As Issabelle entered Jace slid his hands off Clary's stomach and around to her back where they had been moments ago. Jace was the first to speak and he did not sound particularly happy either. " Really Issy can you not simply walk in to a room? Or even knock on the door"

Issabelle stood and glared at Jace, "Well Jace I'm not particularly happy about being lied too. So much so for going to bed early Clary. If you didn't want to spend time with me you should have just said. Or was it just convenient for you to put up with me long enough so I could braid your hair for you." Issabelle was angry. She looked straight passed Jace towards Clary who was completely astonished.

"issabelle.. I'm sorry I was going to bed but I couldn't find Jace" Clary's felt tears well up in her eyes. Issabelle was the closest thing Clary had to a sister and she had never seen her so angry. Jace interrupted before issabelle could speak. "woah Issy don't shout at her. There's no need for that." Issabelle rolled her eyes and shot Clary a nasty look.

Issabelle spoke again directly to Clary. "What is it with you? Please tell me why does every one fuss around you and wrap you up in cotton wool? Jace defending you Yeah I get that but I can't even have one conversation with my boyfriend! without you being involved. All Simon said to me today was to look after you! I rang him and all he wanted to know was whether you where okay or not. He has even cancelled our date tomorrow because he said he's doing something for you. You knew we had a date planned Clary yet you still go make plans with him." whilst speaking Issabelle had stepped forward closer to Clary and Jace moved directly in front of her. Cary felt tears drip of her cheeks as she spoke. "I haven't made any plans with Simon, I have not spoke to him since this morning..." before Clary had finished speaking Issabelle had shook her head and Interrupted Clary. "Of course Clary, sweet little innocent Clary, you never do anything wrong do you? Click your scrawny figures and your little lap dogs come running." Issabelle tried to step closer to Clary again but Jace put out his hand and blocked her way. "Your problems Issy are between you and Simon. don't bring Clary into it."

Issabelle looked at Jace but before she could speak Jace said "Leave Issy, go be a bitch elsewhere" Issabelle looked hurt by what Jace said, she muttered fine. In a angry voice and left slamming the door behind her.

Clary had found herself having a full blown panic attack, she grabbed the back of Jace's shirt and almost tore it. She couldn't breathe, or speak she felt numb her head was spinning so badly that her vision was blurred. She felt Jace take hold of her and carry her out of the greenhouse, he laid her on her bed before getting her some damp cloths to cool her down with. Once Clary had calmed down Jace gave her a packet of biscuits realising that she hadn't eaten since they had their take away the night before which she had thrown most of it back up. "Clary? Maybe you should see a doctor? a real one, a mundane one. To make sure everything's okay" his voice was steady. Clary hadn't even thought about seeing a doctor, "I hadn't even thought about that.. I'll ring tomorrow. What are we going to tell people though? I'm not ready for them all to know yet" realisation hit Clary she had to tell everyone but telling them made it seem real. Part of her wished that if she didn't think about it then it would all fade away.

"We don't have to tell them yet not until you're ready Clary. This is huge, it will change everything and Yeah I didn't think this would ever happen but Clary some things are just meant to be." jace bent down and kissed Clary's forehead, he took her in his arms as they slid under the covers covered in biscuit crumbs and fell asleep.

Little did they know that Issabelle was out on the corridor with the rune of enhanced hearing drawn around her shin listing to everything they had said.
