Lmao I totally forgot who the person was in the bushes. I haven't been on my account in forever I'm so sorry guys. But I'm so glad you enjoyed it I'll try and complete this story but no promises. Love you guys I hope you like this chapter. Its probably crappy.

Jocelyn

I sit in my car looking out the window. I can believe how much she's grown. I miss her so much. I wonder what she's been up to. She probably hates me. When I left for that mission 7 years ago that dreadful day it was the hardest thing I've ever had to do. But the mission was just too important.

I can see my baby girl crouching behind the bushes and it seems as though she is spying on someone. I should contact Aline. That girl really needs to do her job right.

Clary

After I had my breakdown Simon stared at me for a few seconds and then he left. I was pretty sure he would lecture me once again but he must've given up one just like everyone else in my life.

I walk out of the closet and out of the school ready to just leave and go home. I don't care what my father does to me anymore. I just know that eventually it'll end and I can go to sleep. I'm about to go to my bike then i remember...Jace drove me here. Ugh. What to do ...I look around for a bit and I spot Aline...talking to Jace. She gets in the car with him and they speed off in the direction of the park. Whats going on? They were heading in the direction of the park. I probably won't beat them but I'll try.

This is going to be a LONG run.

Ugh! FINALLY. I'm out of breath but I fortunately i can spot Jace's golden head moving farther away. I run to catch up with them but keep a safe distance so they don't know that I'm following them. Jace takes her to a secluded little area and they sit down. What Aline says next almosts makes me faint.

"So I'm not really 17 years old. I'm a 26 year old worker of Jocelyn Fairchild. She's Clary's mom and I've been watching over Clary for her because she had to go away for a really long mission. I've been reporting to her over the past years and I'm supposed to protect her."

WHAT!?

"Well you haven't been doing a very good job of it", Jace snaps while narrowing my eyes at her. She looks taken aback. Well she hasn't. I mean I have the bruises to prove it.

"What do you mean? I've made sure she's been safe all these years. Don't tell me how to do my job young man."

"First of all you're not even that much older than me. I've screwed girls your age before." She crosses her arms over her chest and tucks in her legs and raises her left eyebrow. "Second of all I am not telling you how to do your job. It's just your not doing the best. Clary's been abused by her father since she was ten and she was raped in an alley when she was fourteen. She got pregnant and she has a three year old daughter named Sophia. Also guess what? Instead of coming to you or Simon she went to a girl who FOUND HER IN THE ALLEY shivering and naked and passed out. The girl's name is Chelsea and she's been taking care of Sophia ever since." He stops and leans back on his elbows. Aw is it possible he still cares about me? Was I wrong about him. NO! Stop it Clary. He hurt you he doesn't deserve your love.

"Oh god." She puts her head in her hands. "I can't believe this. She never told me this. I thought something was going on but I never thought of this. I should've kept my eye closer on her. DAMMIT!"

"Yeah so Jocelyn didn't know that Valentine was an abusive bastard that didn't care about anyone but himself?"

"Well I'm one of her closest associates. She said he was selfish and an asshole and everything but she never mentioned him being abusive."

"Maybe he was waiting for her to leave so he could start on the job." She looks at him and rolls her eyes.

"Wow. Anyway it was an important mission and she was telling the truth when she said she would come back. I hope Clary doesn't hate her. Although she's never said anything about her mom. So... I don't know."

"Alright. Well you need to contact Jocelyn and let her know what's going on. Okay?" She nods.

"Definitely I'll inform her right away and we gotta get her outta that house."

"Yeah. About that she said Valentine has a bunch of men working for him that would eventually find her." Her eyebrows scrunch up in confusion.

"I'll have to do a background check on him. I don't think that's true. Jocelyn would know if that was happening. I'll work on that later but right now you need to get back together with her. That's one of the reasons I came here. She looks angry and like she wants revenge but she's heartbroken. I know she is. Jace what you did... and you KNEW what her father was doing but you still made that decision. How could you? I am so terrible at my job."

I nod in agreement. "You really are. But um... Clary hates me I don't think she wants to get together."

"I think her life has driven her to get revenge on anyone who has hurt her. Valentine's ruined her and now she wants her revenge. I honestly believe you're the only one who can bring her to her senses. " His eyebrows scrunch up in that adorable way I love and looks down.

What now? I was wrong about my mother? Does she really love me? And how could Jace ever do that. I'll never forgive him. I trusted him and look at what he did to me? Love makes you weak. My father was...right. I shake my head and start to get but quickly sit back down remembering I can't let them see me. But the bushes rustle and I know they see someone. I stay still until I hear, "Clary?"

Dammit! Jace. I look up smiling and give a little wave. "Hi."

"Hey Clary", Jace says. He helps me up and his hand lingers on my waist a little longer than necessary. I chuckle nervously and remove his hand.

"I'm uh.. yeha so what're you doing here?" I glare at him.

"I followed you two because you seemed like you were up to something." I look at Aline who was staring at me with wide eyes. "I was right."

"Clary please-" I hold my hand up.

"Save it Aline! Why would you lie to me why couldn't you tell me what was really going on?" Aline sighs and walks toward me. She grabs my arm but I recoil.

"I really thought you were my friend. Has Simon been lying this whole time too? Did I really have any friends at all?!"

"Clary listen to me", she takes my trembling shoulders. "It didn't matter what my age was. I might've been your protector but I was also your friend. Trust me on this. Please." She has a desperate look on her face and I turn my head away.

"How can I trust you. How can trust any of you anymore? My father, you, Jace, my mother?! Did anyone really love me?" I look at Jace and just about burst into tears. "Especially you." His face contorts into an expression of pain.

"Clary." He starts forward and reaches for me. "I love you. I really don't know why I did that. After what you told me that was the stupidest thing I've ever done. Please. We might not get back together but can you please forgive me. Please. I love you. I want you to be happy. I'd never hurt you like deliberately."

I look at him and bite my lip nervously. Can I forgive him? he hit me. He's just like Valentine. Oh my god. Oh my god. He's just like Valentine!

"Clary I am not your father." Shit. He can read me like an open book. I sigh.

"Jace I just don't know if I can trust you anymore." I pull away from Aline and fully face him. "I don't know if I can trust anyone."

"You can trust me." I turn around and then everything goes black.

Aren't you guys happy to have my evil self back. Cliffhangers are a girl's best friend.
