Jace POV

I don't know what came over me. I was just teasing her and calling all these horrible names in my head when she snapped. Then she called me a dog, which by the way really hurt. She started crying and ran off to the bathroom. I sat there thinking about what she said. Then it clicked. What kind of girl doesn't let a guy kiss her? What kind of girl looks like she's afraid boys?

Clary was raped! That's why she has a kid. But she's seventeen. That means... 14!?

So here I am driving her to my house. The drive to my house is silent. Clary seems to be in deep thought. She looks as if she is in deep thought. I wonder if she thinks I'm taking her back to do something to her. But if she was thinking that why would she get in the car with me in the first place? So she must trust me. Right?

We pull up to my three story apartment. My parents' car is in the driveway so they're home. Wonder how they're dinner went. Actually I wonder how they're gonna respond to Clary's presence. Probably not good.

"So um... my parents won't be too... comfortable with you here." She rolls her eyes and gives a sharp laugh.

"Why? Cause I'm a drug dealer. I'm a drunk? Their worried I might be high?"

"Yeah. Pretty much." I decide to tell the plain truth. Clary nods and purses her lips.

"Typical." I nod and turn off the car. We step out of the car and walk up the steps. I open the door and hear voices in the kitchen. Must be my parents.

"Alec? Is that you?" I walk into the kitchen motioning to Clary to follow me. We walk into the kitchen and my mother and father are at the table whispering. They stop when they notice us. Maryse puts on a smile genuinely glad see me.

"Hey mom. Hey dad. What's up?"

"Hey Jace." My dad nods and goes back to his coffee. I resist the urge to roll my eyes. He doesn't communicate with us alot. And I don't like him really. I know he's my father but that doesn't mean I have like him.

"Hey baby. Who's your friend?" Clary moves out from her hiding spot behind me. She gives a small wave and smiles.

"Hi I'm Clary a... friend of Jace." My mom and dad's eyes widen.

"Oh. Um...Clary? The one Isabelle always talks about?" Clary rolls her eyes.

"Yeah. That's me. Clary The Girl Isabelle Always Talks About." I laugh nervously and sling am arm around ignoring her tense stature.

"Isn't she something? What a sense of humor!" My mom raises her eyebrows.

"Oh! So not only are you a drug dealer you've also got an attitude. Your sister was right Jace." Clary goes to open her mouth again but I talk over her.

"Really mom? You don't know anything about her. You shouldn't judge off of what Izzy says. There might be a reason she's like this. Maybe it's because of people like you. Who judge her based off of rumors."

"So are you accusing your sister of lying?"

"No but yes." And with that I lead Clary up to my room. We enter and I sit on my bed. Clary stays standing and looks around looking awkward. My eyebrows and I pull her to the bed gently.

"Sit. It'll be fine." She trembles and sits down stiff as a board. I sigh." You can trust me Clary. I- First off I'm sorry about my mother. She can a real... you know...gank." She laughs relaxing a bit.

"Thanks Jace." I smile then frown remembering what I needed to talk to her about.

"Um...There's something I need to tell you."

"What is it?"

"I uh," I decide to just blurt it out. "I followed you after you ran away from me and saw you visiting your daughter. I know you were raped. I also told Isabelle and she told Seelie who's probably gonna tell the whole school." Her eyes bug out of her head and she stand up slowly.

"YOU WHAT?!" She slaps me in the face. Hard.

"Clary I'm really really sorry. Trust me if I could go back and fix it I would." Her face gets really red when I say that. Think of a tomato.

"No Jace! Sorry isn't going to fix this! Wishes don't come true!" She yells. And then she starts whispering,"I would know." I stay quiet knowing that saying anything would cause yet another outburst.

"Now everybody will find out what a slut I am. I can only imagine what they'll do and think when they hear about this. Why do you have to be such an ass? One girl doesn't like you and suddenly 'Oh! I'm Jace Lightwood-Herondale and I'm gonna destroy your life.' Well guess what? Not everyone likes you." She puts a hand on her forehead and starts to cry.

Clary I know I messed up and maybe I can fix it-"

"No! No! And no again! Seelie might be your 'girlfriend' but I know she won't listen to you. She hates me and will do anything to make my life a living hell. So don't even bother." She pauses and then gets an even angrier look on her face. "How the FUCK did you know I was raped. Have you been spying on me or something?" I shake my head quickly.

"No. Definitely not. I was thinking about how you practically fell apart when I kissed you and how you seem really nervous around guys and defensive. Then it hit me. I'm not as dumb as you think you know."

"Wow well... Thank you so so so much. I am now Queen of the Whores. Ha! I should get a fucking crown. Where's my king!" I stare at her. I get up and walk over to Clary and take her hand. She jumps back. I tighten my grip and pull her to me. She starts crying even more. I realize we're in the same position as at the club.

"You wanna lay down?" She looks up and shakes her head fast.

"Please don't hurt me. Please." My heart broke to see her like this. I almost start crying myself.

"I would never hurt you. EVER." She smiled and nodded.

"Thank you. Okay." She climbs onto the bed and crawls under the covers. She snuggles up and catches me watching her. Clary pouts and tilts her head.,

"I'll be right back I'm gonna get some blankets to make a bed on the floor. I turn top leave then hear her quiet voice.

"Jace you can sleep in the bed with me. If you want" I turn around.

"Are you serious? Are you sure?" She nods and gives me a small half smile. I take off my shoes and climb into the bed with her. She moves a bit closer cuddling up to my chest. My heart almost jumps out of my chest. Wait what? Did I just say that? No no.

Clary puts her arm over my waist. She looks so innocent and sweet. I'm not even going to deny it. She looks beautiful. I know I barely know her and we've only had one civil conversation but I think I'm falling in love with Clary Morgenstern.
