Chapter 6

When I got to school everything was normal. Aline shot daggers at me every chance she got, the only nice thing she done for me was sit with the football players and not talk as much. Right now I'm in art class and Simon, Izzy and I are having a fight about what we want on our catapult.

Isabelle wanted to paint the catapult neon pink, Simon wanted to put captain America in letters and I wanted to put Iron man in letters. We bickered the entire class until the bell rang. Before I knew it I was at Simon's house chatting. Isabelle had to get home, now it's just me and Simon.

"So, do you have interests in someone yet?"

"Clary I will tell you when I get a feeling I have a crush on someone. Actually How about this I'll tell you first okay. You're my best friend."

"Yeah, I am your best friend and that means I know when you're lying and right now you're lying." It's true whenever Simon lies he always tells me 'You're my best friend' or 'Ummm, ummmm. Um' it sounds like he is trying to hum but is saying um.

"I'm not lying."

"Are too"

"Am not"

"Are too"

"Am not"

"Are too"

"Fine, if I tell you will you leave it alone?"

"Yes" a smirk forms on my lip from the resent victory.

"You're not going to like it, you're prob-"

"Simon, shut up and get to the point." I interrupt him from stalling more than he has.

"Ihaveacrushonyou" he says it all too fast I don't understand what he is trying to tell me.

"Simon, slow down and repeat what you just said."

"I have a crush on you." I was so shocked I didn't say anything at first. I thought for sure he was going to say Isabelle. "Clary, Clary." He waves his hand in front of my face trying to get my attention.

"You're joking right." He just shakes his head no. "How long?"

"What?" he asked confused.

"How long have you liked me?"

"The second day I met you." I could not believe this was happing I loved Simon to death but I loved him like a brother and he knows that too... I think.

"I'm sorry Simon I just don't like you that way. I love you, but not in the way you like me Simon."

"But Clary just think about it, we have so much in common and we have been friends for a while and I love you and you love me."

"Yes, all of those things are true but I love you like a brother."

"Can we at least give it a chance just to see where it takes us?"

"I have a boyfriend who I love deeply; I'm not just going to leave him." I'm starting to raise my voice now it just makes me aggregated that he doesn't think about how it will affect other people other than me.

"Wow you know, you're just like Aline, you make people fall for you and then you just through them away like their trash." I feel the tears welling up, I try to blink them away but more come.

"Don't you dare go there, I didn't know you liked me. How was I supposed to know? You forget I can't go into people's minds and get information like that." I couldn't hold the tears back anymore they just came rushing down like a water fall.

"Maybe if you cared more you would know these things." He was screaming by now.

"I can't do this." I go and grab my bag while Simon starts to talk again.

"You can't do what? You can't be friends with me anymore."

"No, I just can't talk to you right now I need some time to think."

I open Simon's door, go down stairs, open the door to the front and make my way to my bike. I turn it on and start my drive home. While I was driving tears continued to spill down my cheeks. It got so bad that at one point I lost focus on the road. I didn't see the vehicle coming to the side of me until the front end smashed into the side of my bike causing pain to erupt through my entire left side.

I got thrown to the right. My head smashed into the concrete, I got stuck under my bike, my helmet long gone. The motorcycle was skidding, causing my skin to tear and bleed. The motorcycle came to a fast stop hitting a telephone pole. The fast movement made my head dizzy.

I could hear yelling and before darkness over powered me, I see Jace crouch next to me, holding a phone to his ear, his eyes wide with horror. The last words I hear is Jace yelling into the phone, then blackness takes over my vision.

I'M SO SORRY. I HAD THIS CHAPTER ALL TYPED UP AND WHEN I FINISHED IT IT WAS LATE AT NIGHT AND THE INTERNET STOPPED WORKING SO I THOUGHT THAT I'D PUT THE CHAPTER UP IN THE MORNING... BUT I FORGOT AND 3 WEEKS LATER IT GETS POSTED.

If you peoples can find it in your hearts to forgive me it would make my day.

I'm not sure if I said this before but there is a story called Choices. It's really good, should go and read.

I think that is all good bye young grasshoppers.
