Clary wept on the floor for a couple of minutes, leaving an awkward Sebastian standing next to her. She eventually wiped her eyes and stood up, she couldn't even look at him.

"Are you OK", he asked. Clary looked down at the floor. Words couldn't describe how embarrassed she was.

"I'm fine", she whispered. Sebastian shook his head making Clary's stomach flip.

"I'll get you home", he said softly putting his arm on her shoulder. Clary backed away, she didn't feel like being comforted by him.

"No, I can get home by myself", she snapped and ran off leaving a startled Sebastian on the curb.

Jace had driven the whole way home with Jocelyn in silence. He missed Clary quite a lot, more than he would think. When they got home, he said a quick thank-you and ran up stairs to his room. A part of him wanted to see Clary's room so he peeked around to see a messy room covered in drawings. She was obviously very good. Jace walked around for a minute and then went back to the safety of his room, just in time before Clary came through the door.

Clary hurried past her mum and pelted to her room, she needed to lie down. She fell onto her bed and grabbed her sketchbook and began drawing, she was already beginning to feel calmer. After about an hour, she heard a knock at the door and a voice. Sebastian's voice. Throwing down her sketchbook, she went downstairs to apologize.

"Clary, a friend is here for you", Jocelyn said and Clary raised her eyebrows.

"Thanks mum", she said and her mum left to give them some privacy.

"I'm sorry about before", Clary said leaning against the wall. Sebastian smiled and his whole face lit up.

"I was wondering, would you like to go out for some drinks?", he asked. Clary was taken back. She assumed he probably thought she was mad, and she wouldn't blame him. Never had a boy asked her out for drinks, Clary suddenly felt a surge of excitement.

"Sure", she replied as calmly as she could. She ran to her mother and begged her to go, Jocelyn shook her head.

"Please mum, he's my friend", she said for the tenth time. Jocelyn sighed, she had been defeated.

"OK, but text me if anything happens", she replied sternly. Clary nodded and ran upstairs to get changed. She chose a loose fitting blue dress with brown boots. Clary brushed her hair and applied a little lip-gloss. Looking in the mirror, she realised she actually looked pretty. Clary then greeted Sebastian by the door and made their way to the nearest bar.

Clary had been dancing for what seemed like forever. She had also had a couple of drinks, but she was loving it. The lights were very bright and the music was loud but Clary didn't care. Suddenly, she felt a strong hand on her shoulder turning her round. Jace.

"WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE", she hissed. Jace looked taken back, but then smiled.

"Having a good time", he replied. Clary was about to order him home when Sebastian appeared behind her with two drinks. He smiled at Jace and Jace glared back.

"Here you go", he said passing them each a drink. Jace took it and smelled it, he was clearly suspicious. He then knocked it back and so did Clary. The room slowly started tilting, Clary felt unwell. She went into a dark area and was followed by Jace. Sebastian was nowhere to be seen.

"Stop following me", she spat. Jace smiled and pushed his hair out his face.

"Some girls would die for that", he said quickly, stepping forward so they were inches away. Clary felt a breath hitch. His arms slowly snaked around her waist and they were kissing-passionately. Clary deepened the kiss and Jace backed her against the wall, pushing his body against her. After what seemed like forever, Jace grabbed her hand and followed the sign saying rooms. They slowly went up the stairs and disappeared into the free room. Clary knew she would regret this later, but her mind was fuzzy and all she cared about was Jace.
