A/N- ok so before I posted ch14, I hadn't posted in like, a lifetime so this chapter is going to make up for that, I promise. And should clary tell Jace about what Aline did? Suggestions are ALWAYS accepted :) anyways, hope you enjoy chapter 15!
Chapter 15
Jace POV
Clary has been acting weird all day. When she sees Aline in the hallways, she walks faster and looks like she's gonna be sick. Finally, I ask her about it.
"Clary, what is going on?" She jumps, startled at my question.
"What? Nothing!" She replies quickly. I sigh.
"Clary, I know you well enough to know that something is definitely wrong."
"I will tell you when I'm not so shaken up about it anymore." She replies then walks off quickly. Soon, Aline walks up to me, putting her hand on my shoulder, looking worried.
"Have you seen Clary?" She asks.
"Why would you care?" I snap at her.
"I don't know.." She trails off when she sees Clary walking into.. The Janitors Closet? Aline hurries to the door and opens it, closing it behind her.
Clary POV
"We need to talk." I look up to see Aline standing above me. I just smile awkwardly at her and say,
"About what? How you practically RAPED me?" I whisper-yell.
"First. I was NOT going to rape you. Second, I have no idea what I was doing. I mean, yes, I like you, but.. I just couldn't contain myself." She answers, "I'm really sorry."
"Okay. Your apology is accepted. But what about all of the mean things you've done and said to me?"
"I'm sorry about those. I truly am." She replies, looking straight at me and a "hidden" love gleaming in her eyes.
"I guess I will forgive you, but that doesn't mean we're friends yet. You'll have to mend all the wounds you've given me and heal all the damage you've done," I say, "and even though the words you've said and the names you've called me can't be erased from my memory, you being my enemy can."
"Thanks for giving me this chance." Aline says happily, pulling me into a tight embrace. I smile and pull away.
"I better get to class. See you later?"
"Why of course."
Alec POV (SURPRISE! Also, this takes place while clary and Aline are in the bathroom)
I walk down the hallway, making my way towards lunch when I hear the sound of clothes dropping to the floor and the moans of kissing come from the girls bathroom. Kids these days and their unusual and unclean sex area decisions. I spot Magnus and the others at our usual lunch spot once I enter the cafeteria. I sit down next to Magnus and he kisses my cheek. I then tell him about the noises I heard and he just rubs his chin and says, "Strange. Clary just went into the girls bathroom."
"No, I thought she would've gone into the GUYS bathroom." I reply sarcastically, thinking about what Magnus said. I look to see that Jace isn't here yet and see Magnus just realized the same thing.
"Do you think.." He starts, but then Jace walks in... withOUT clary.
"Hey, man." Jace says to me as he sits down.
"Hey. Where's clary?" I ask.
"Umm.. I don't know."
"Bathroom." We all hear Jon say.
"Oh, ok." Jace says casually, then leans back in his chair. Who could clary be with?
Aline POV (right after her and Clary's talk)
I walk out of the closet, a smile on my face. I cleared things up with clary. Now where was Helen.. Just then I spot her at her locker. I walk up to it and lea against it, smiling at her.
"Why hello, Aline." Helen says smiling back. Was she like me also? I will test that.
"Would you like to go out with me this Saturday? We could go see a movie."
"Sure. I'd love to." Helen blushes, "at the movie theatre.. Or your house?"
"I don't know, whatever you want."
"Then your house it is." She giggles and tucks a strand of hair behind my war, "it would look ever better not dyed and as your natural black hair."
"Thanks. I could make that happen." I tell her, smiling brightly.
"Oh," Helen starts, "at your house. Will we be alone?"
"Why of course. I have my own house." I say and kiss her cheek then ask for her number. She writes it on a piece of paper while I do the same. We exchange the numbers and then I walk off. I could not wait for Saturday.
