A/N- hi, I'm back! Have I forgotten to tell you that summer vacation has started so I have more time to write? Well now I've told you! When I'm done with this fanfic (which will be about 30 chaps or so..) I'm going to make a sequel! I'm hoping for this to be kind of a fanfiction trilogy. Anyways, I'm done with my rambling, onto the chapter! Hope you enjoy chapter 18! :)

Chapter 18

Clary POV

{The Next Day-Sunday}

I sit on my bed, rocking back and forth while silent tears fall down my face. The thing with Sebastian had shaken me up pretty bad, and I was still stressing over it. Jace had called me many times, but I hadn't answered. Jon would knock on my door, but I would just quietly say "go away." I didn't feel like talking to anyone about what happened. And I know, my mother would say: "You need to talk about it. If you don't, you will never get over it. Talking about it helps you get stronger." But my mother wasn't here right now. She was off god knows where, doing god knows WHAT, with Luke. I hear a knock on my door, followed by a soft voice saying:

"Clary. Please let me in." It was Jon. "I can get some ice cream. We don't have to talk about.. You know what. We can just talk about random things." I sigh and give in, getting up then unlocking and opening the door for Jon. He has a bucket of Vanilla Ice Cream in one hand and a bucket of Chocolate Chip Ice Cream in the other. He walks in and sets them down on my mini table and we sit on my bed. I lean my head on his chest and together we sit there and eat ice cream, talking about random things and watching TV.

Jace POV

I tried calling Clary. Once. Then twice. Then a third and fourth time, followed by a fifth. I decide to leave her alone, she probably needed time to herself. I sigh, it was worrying me. Clary hadnt spoken much since what happened, and I feel like she wasn't going to for a while. Suddenly my phone starts to ring, causing me to jump. I answer it, it was Clary.

"Hey." Relief flows through me like a river and I smile at her beautiful voice.

"Hey. How are you?" I ask her.

"I'm good. Can I come over?"

"Of course. How long till you get here?"

"I'm in your driveway." She replies.

"Oh! I'm coming." I hang up and rush downstairs and outside, Clary stands there looking a little shy and scared. She keeps looking around her and smiles brightly when she sees me. She runs into my arms and I hold her tight to me. I bring her inside and to my room, she sits on my bed, I sit next to her.

"So how are you doing?" I ask, breaking the silence.

"You asked me this." She replies quietly.

"I know, I'm just making sure you're alright."

"I'm ok. Just a little shaken up still."

"Okay. I'm glad you're okay." I tell her.

"Oh, quit worrying and just kiss me." She commands. I listen. I close the space between us, bringing my lips down on hers softly. She responds immediately, wrapping her arms around my neck as I fit mine around her waist. She pushes herself against me, I'm laying down on the bed and pulling her closer to me. She kisses me harder, making the kiss more fierce and passionate and full of love. She sighs against my mouth in pleasure and I smile. I creep my tongue into her mouth and she nibbles my lip. Finally, we pull away.

"Wow.." She says.

"I know. I love you, you know that?"

"Yes. I love you, too." She replies. We've only been dating for about two weeks but I just know that this girl is the one.

{Next Friday}

"Clary!" I exclaim when I see her in the hallways at school that day.

"What?!" She says, catching on to my excitement.

"We will have been dating for half a month next Tuesday!" I don't know why I was so excited, but I was.

"Really? It doesn't seem like that long.. It feels like just yesterday we started dating!" She points out.

"It really does." I say, wrapping my arm around her waist and pulling her close to me. I bring my lips down to hers and we soon get scolded by teachers. I wink at her as a teacher escorts me to class and she giggles.

"That behavior is not tolerated in school, Young Sir. What's your name?" The Teacher asks me as I follow her down the hallway.

"Well, look who's being a bossy bitch this morning. I just wanted to kiss my freaking girlfriend. Oh and by the way.. my name is Alec. Alec Lightwood." I stifle my laughter as the woman nods and I walk into my classroom.

Alec POV

"Alec Lightwood, to the Office please. Alec Lightwood, to the office." Why the hell was I being called to the office?! I did nothing. I walk steadily to the office, my fists clenched. It was a habit for when I was nervous. I swing open the doors and there stands Principal Luke, his arms crossed. He looked upset at me.

"Alec. Sit down, please." He says.

"Okay. But first. What did I do wrong?" I ask.

"Well you were caught kissing a girl named Clarissa Fray in the Hallways. We know it's just a small thing, but PDA is not allowed in this school and neither is the way you acted towards the teacher." Luke tells me. What?! I swear, whoever did this... Oh my god. Jace.

"Luke, I'm telling you. I didn't do anything!" I exclaim.

"Well the teacher would like to speak otherwise. Apparently you called her names." I face palm.

"Luke. I was set up. Jace did this. He jokes around like that."

"Let me get the teacher. Just one second." Luke comes back with an older woman, she had gray hair and freckles.

"That's not Alec Lightwood." She says, pointing to me. "He had golden blonde hair and golden eyes." That was Jace. Definitely Jace.

"You're looking for Jace Wayland." I tell the teacher and Luke dismisses me.

Jace POV

I just got out of the Office from my talk with Luke. I had a detention after school on Monday and Tuesday. Now Clary and I can't do much, we had a date planned for Tuesday. I guess we'll just meet Wednesday..

"Hey." Clary walks up to me and plants a light kiss on my lips. I smile at her and grab her hands, holding them lightly.

"I'm sorry, baby. I have a detention Monday and Tuesday. We won't be able to go on our date." She frowns. I feel horrible.

"Why do you have a detention?"

"Our kiss earlier... I kinda spoke badly to the teacher when I was told it, "wasn't tolerated in this school" and she had asked who I was and I said I was Alec."

"Wow. You're so cute when you're bad but why did you just accuse Alec like that?"

"I'm sorry."

"No kisses for you." She jokes. I pout and wrap my arms around her waist and pull her to me and kiss her. "Okay, maybe just a couple more..." She giggles when I leave a trail of kisses along her jaw and neck. "Stop it, stop, you dirty boy, we're in a School!" She pushes me from her and grins at me, "you can have more later.." I put a fake look of hurt on my face.

"Awww. Do you not want me?" I joke.

"Hey. Later. Come on. Lets go somewhere. We can do more of that later and this weekend.." She grins.

"Okay. Come on."

Clary POV

Jace and I were hanging out at his house, Izzy was gone spending the night with Maia and Alec and Magnus were off together. Max was staying the night at a friends as well and Robert and Maryse were out doing business. We had the house to ourselves.. I kind of felt nervous. What if Jace did something? What if I did something back? I shiver. I was not a bad girl.. Or was I? I don't know. Stop talking to yourself Clary! Jace and I sit down on the sofa and he switches the tv on. There was nothing good on, so we just talked about random things. I catch him just staring at me.

"What?" I ask.

"Nothing. I'm just staring at your beauty." He replies. I laugh.

"I'm not beautiful."

"And that's what I love about you. You don't think you're better, that you're more pretty. You think you're not pretty. Which you are, just so you know. You think you're not worth a penny when really.. You're worth way more than that." I blush.

"Than-" I'm cut off by Jace crushing his lips to mine, he wraps his arms around my waist and I wrap mine around his neck, responding to the kiss and kissing back. I comb my fingers through his silky golden blonde hair and lean into him. There's no more space between us on the couch, we're fit together like two puzzle pieces meant for each other. I smile against his mouth as we sit on the couch, kissing.

"You're so beautiful." He whispers in my ear, placing a flurry on kisses along my jawline and down my neck.

"I love you, Jace. My golden boy." I whisper. "Can we go to your room?"

"Of course. I love you, too. My fiery red head." He leads us up o his room and closes the door behind him. He walks over to his bed and sits down.

"Clary. Are one month anniversary is in three weeks. I know that's far away but still. We should plan something special for just the two of us." Jace tells me

"Of course, sounds good." I kiss him, wrapping my arms around his neck and grinding myself against him, I wanted him so bad. He places his hands gently on my hips and kisses me back. God, I loved this boy.
