Jace POV:
After dropping Clary off at Isabelle's, I made my way back to work. I can't believe I asked Clary out. Finally after 6 years, I have the pleasure to go on a date with her. And I promise to make it memorable.
I quickly texted Alec I was on my way to work and asked him to meet me in my office.
"Good morning, Jace," Aline said as I make my way through the lobby. I ignore her and walk towards the elevator.
" Jace, can we go out to get some lunch?" Aline had followed me and now is standing in front of me. She puts her arms around me and smiles up at me.
"Uh I have plans already. Sorry," I tell her and push her away.
" Jaceeeee, but I really wanna spend time with you," she pouts and I try not to cringe.
"Miss Aline do we need to find a new front desk receptionist?"
"No sir."
"Get back to work," I walk around her and into the elevator. Gosh that woman is so thirsty. I know I have a great body but that body is only clary's. Well will be soon. I plan on showing her that I am changed.
"Jace. Glad you are back. We need to work on so many things. The company is coming up with ideas-"
"I'm going on a date with Clary," I cut him mid sentence. His mouth is open and then he stiffly shuts up.
"I'm glad you are. But Jace the company here needs you."
"I know. Just help me with this real quick," I pause to think and continue, "Cute and cheesy or proper?"
"What?" He raises his eyebrows. I groan. Gosh this man.
"My date dude! What should I do for it?"
"Oh. Ion know. Whatever you think Clary will like." The sound of her name gave me an idea.
"Okay." I sit in my chair and log into my computer and start looking through my emails.
"You were saying something about the company…" I gesture Alec to start talking.
"Oh yeah. Right. So I was thinking since we are pairing up with the Morgenstern Industries the work on you-"
My phone starts to blare and I give Alec an apologetic smile and pick it up without looking at who was calling.
"Hello?"
"Jace. Hey." I sit up as I realize it was Clary on the phone.
"Hey baby. What's up?"
I hear a groan and a sneeze and, "I just wanted to let you know that I am home." I can faintly hear her teeth clattering and the heavy sound of ice rain hitting the floor.
"Clare, where are you?" I ask her.
"I just told you Jace-" sneeze "I am almost home."
I can't believe this girl. "Clary did you WALK from Izzy's home to yours in this icy rain?!"
"Yeah and I am fine. Bye." She hangs up on me.
"Oh like hell you are. Alec I gotta go." I stand up and grab my coat.
"What about the company?"
"It can wait. Clary is sick. I have to go." With that I leave the office oblivious to Alec's growl of annoyance.

I stopped by Walmart to pick some medicine and soup for Clary before going to her house. How can she just walk from Izzy's? Her house is miles away.
I ring the doorbell and Dorothea opens the front door and smiles at me.
"Jace. I am glad you are here. Clary is alone and I have to go to my doctors appointment. Can you please take care of her?"
"Uh yeah sure." House to myself and Clary? Oh yeah. This is going to be so fun.
Dorothea leaves few minutes later and I make my way to Clary's room. I can hear the shower running and the light hum of Clary singing. I sit on her bed and kick my shoes off and look around her room. She has a nice room. Floor to ceiling windows, a hammock, a vanity, a walk in closet, one corner of the room is filled with her art supplies. Her room is bright and airy. I like it. It's just too messy.
"Oh my god I'm glad you came. You came through with-"
"Oh really? You're glad that I came?" I ask her surprised.
"Jace! What are you doing here?!" She holds her little towel tightly. My eyes scan over her exposed skin and I can feel myself hardening a little.
She slowly walks towards me and straddles my waist. "Like what you see?" She grinds herself on me. I groan loudly.
"Jace Wayland! Get your hand out of there!" Clary shirked and I gasped my eyes open to see her standing in front of me. My hand had crept downwards and into my pants. Oh shit.
"Uh…what?" I ask trying to be as nonchalant as possible. I can't believe I did that in front of her. Wow Jace. You fucking stupid hornball.
"What are you doing?" Her cheeks are as red as her hair.
"Um my uh balls were uh itching?" I ask more than say.
She raises her eyebrows and opens her mouth and shuts it. She opens it again before pausing saying "yep. This is it I'm out." And she quickly walks into her closet.
Why am I so stupid! Gosh I made the most ridiculous excuse ever. Way to go Jace. I mean she just looked so hot I couldn't stop myself. I sigh and walk out of her room and to the kitchen.
Xxxxxx
Clary pov:
Oh my god. I just saw Jace Wayland masterbating. Well ish. It was so sudden and random! But it was so hot. When he groaned. Ugh Clare get a grip on yourself!
I change into my comfy pajamas and a crop hoodie. The shower felt good but I still felt sick. My nose was running and my throat was sore. I couldn't stop sneezing and every time I sneezed I felt my head was going to blow up. I have the worst headache as well. Every time I walk or get up it would hurt so fricking bad.
I tentatively walk out to see Jace gone. I felt a wave of sadness wash over me. For some reason I wanted him there. Frowning I walk over to my bed and lay down where he was once. I could smell the faint smell of Jace'a cologne and it smells so good. Pulling the covers over myself I close my eyes and try to sleep but the images of Jace kept popping up in my head. He looked like a model laying on my bed with his white shirt and black trousers. His tie was loose and he had a carefree look on his face.
After what seems like forever, I finally fell asleep dreaming of the golden boy.
Xxxxxxx
"Clary…" I hear a deep voice and someone shakes me. I push them away and snuggle into my comforter.
"Clary wake up," the voice says again but I am too deep in my sleep.
"Jace…" I mumble lightly. I was in Spain. Jace and I were laying together and was tanning when Jace starts to kiss my cheek and my neck. "Jace" I moan when he bites my neck lightly and I wake up. Someone was actually prepping kisses on my cheeks and neck. I try to turn around but there is an arm around me.
From the corner of my eye I can see a mass of golden blonde hair falling over my shoulder. I tense when I realize who it is.
"Hey," Jace whispers in my ear, sleepily. I was about to ask him what he was doing in my bed again but I felt a sneeze coming. I sneezed and there comes the headache. Groaning I snuggle under the covers and forget about Jace. All my muscles are coiled up and I feel irritated.
"You need to eat something," Jace murmurs in my ear and holds me tighter to him. I have absolutely no energy to push him off and secretly I'm enjoying his snuggles.
"Mmm food," my stomach grumbles and Jace chuckles. My heart flutters in my chest. Oh shit.
"Oh no. No. Nononononon not today!" I cry out. I pat the bed underneath me and I could feel it slightly wet. And then there was sharp pain in my lower abdomen. Not this. Not now.
"What's wrong?" I rip myself away from Jace and turn on my stomach and stare at him horrified.
This can not be happening. I know I get supper cranky when I'm on my period. And Jace is not the person I want to be with right now. Knowing him he will make some stupid jokes and make me even more mad.
"Uh nothing." He raises his eyebrow at me and then looks under the covers. He looks confused before his eyes widens and I close my eyes and drop my head on my pillow.
"Oh. OH!"
"Yeah. Oh." I can feel my bottom lip quiver. My hormones are over the roof and I don't know why I am crying. I need to get up. But I don't want to.
"No no no clary don't cry," Jace is next to me and wiping my tears away. "We'll get you all cleaned up and comfy. Just don't cry. I am here. Baby it's alright." He gently strokes my hair and I just want him to hold me and never let go.
I nod and lift the covers up and get out of the bed. I know I got a big ass stain on my pants and Jace is probably staring so I hurried into the bathroom. I look back to see Jace staring at the bed with a confused look.
Xxxxxxx
After taking a shower and throughly cleaning myself, I changed into some spare sweatpants and went outside. Jace was in my bed, his back to me. The sheets and the comforter was gone and there was new sheets on the table next to the bed. I walk over to Jace to see him scrubbing the blood out of the mattress. I smile. He can be such a sweetheart sometimes. I mean I don't think he is the husband type but the way he takes care of me just amazes me.
"Hello? Anyone in there?" I feel a tap on my forehead and look up to see Jace standing in front of me. He was in a wife beater and his trouser pants. There was a red stain near the end of his wife beater and the top of his pants were a few darker shades.
I blush furiously. "Thanks for doing that." I murmur looking at the bed. He smiles.
"There is some soup in the kitchen for you."
"Did Dorothea make it?"
"No. Dorothea had to leave because she had to go on a doctors appointment."
"Oh. Okay." I don't know what to say to him. It's just so awkward looking at him.
"Yeah. You go ahead and drink that soup and I'll be after I change the sheets." I nod and leave the room as fast as I can.
Xxxxxxx
Jace pov:
After clary left I quickly changed the sheets and went into her bathroom. There was a blood stain on my pants but I didn't mind because this is all natural. It also means clary's ass was in me. I laugh giddily. Then I catch myself. Gosh I am such a kid.
I got in the shower and took my time cleaning myself and thinking. When I came back to give clary some soup, she was already deep in sleep and I didn't want to wake her up because she looked so peaceful. I had gone back outside and tried to do something but I got bored. So I went back to clary's room and went to bed beside her. I don't know how long we slept but when I woke up it was dark outside and clary was mumbling in her sleep. I tried to wake up but she not budging. After a awhile I gave up and just stared at her.
She was truly beautiful. Her long lashes created shadows on her cheeks. The light glow from the moon and the hallway light looked good on her. Her breathing was even and she looked perfect. How could I have been so stupid? How could I hurt this girl so much? Gosh what was I thinking? She has been so beautiful but because of me she doesn't think that.
When Clary murmured my name in her sleep I was curious to what she was dreaming about. couldn't stop myself. I leaned in to lightly kiss her cheek. Her skin was milky and smooth. I lightly prepped kisses on her freckled skin. My arm went around her waist and clutched her closer to me and kissed her neck.
I thought clary was going to yell at me when she woke up but she surprised me by snuggling deeper into me. She was very warm and agitated. That's when I remembered she was sick. My poor baby. I dried myself and tied a towel around my waist and walked over to the guest room where I had a few spare clothes. I looked over the railing to see clary in the living room curled up. I changed quickly into a black T shirt and sweatpants before grabbing the comforter from the dryer and went downstairs.
I dumped the comforter on top of her and jumped over the couch and next to her.
"You're sitting in my leg! Get off!" She yells and I do realize there was something very bony digging into my ass.
"Sorry baby." She growls at me and I laugh.
"You are so adorable." I reach out and pull at her cheeks..
"Jaceeeee," she whines. Her voice has changed and I frown.
"Did you eat?"
"Yeah." She looks away and I know she is lying. I narrow my eyes at her and then walk into the kitchen to see the soup still on the stove. Sighing I reheated the soup and got some medicine that I bought. Lastly I grabbed some water and tissues.
"Here we go," I place the soup over the comforter in front of her and she makes a face at it. "Do I need to feed it to you myself baby?"
She still doesn't try to eat it so I pick the spoon up and blow at it before placing it in front of her.
"Please Clare. You need to eat something. You have to get better or else I'm taking you to the doctor." She quickly sips her soup in and smile.
"No doctors," she shakes her head. I take the remote and turn in Netflix.
"Okay. How about you and I stay here and watch American horror story?"
"You should go home. I'll make you sick as well."
"Clary I don't care. You are sick and as your boyfriend I need to make sure you are okay. And you are all alone here. You need me."
"I don't need you. And you're not my boyfriend." She says bitterly and I wince at her words. For some reason they hurt me more than I thought they would.
"Uh yeah but I am so…" I don't even know what to say to her. She looks at the TV and I start to feed her again.
We were almost halfway into the season when clary stared to fidget.
"Do you need to pee?"
"Uh what? No." She says shortly.
"What's wrong then?"
"Can we watch something else please?"
"What's wrong with this?"
"I don't really like horror things." She sounds embarrassed.
"Oh okay. I don't mind. We can watch whatever you want."
"Thank you Jace. It's just I don't like clowns or anything scary. Ever since…" she stops and her eyes are glazed.
"Ever since what Clare?"
"It's nothing."
"Clary." I say warningly.
"You remember sophomore year when the school hosted a Halloween dance party?" I nod. I remember it vaguely. "Half of the school was turned into a haunted house and Simon and I were having fun and it was dark and someone dragged me to the other side of the school." She stops and takes a breath.
"It was dark and I couldn't see who dragged me. I started to walk back to Simon when I heard the sound of a chainsaw. I turned around and saw a clown with a chainsaw running towards me. I got so scared and I ran but something tripped me and the fell. The clown was over me and he," she was crying now and I gently hug her. "He lifted my shirt and…and he marked me." I tense at her words. "He said that he marks ugly and fat people. And that I Am a whore and so much more." She was crying hard now.
I remember some of that night. I didn't go because dad had taken me to a dinner that night. I do remember Sebastian talking about something about a girl who had fainted because she was a wuss or something like that. Karlie and Aline were grinning mischievously and that's when I realized it was them who hurt her like this.
I pulled clary to me and layed on the sofa with her on top of me.
"I am sorry. I am sorry. I am so sorry." I murmur into her neck. Holding her tight.
"I am so sorry for what I did. I was so stupid. I stooped so low. You are beautiful clary. Absolutely beautiful. And you are so strong."
"I don't know if I wanna believe that Jace." She sniffs and lay her head on my shoulder.
"I will make you believe that Clare. I still like you. And I will have you."
"Good luck with that."
"Oh I have my luck right here," I kiss her head and run my hand through her long red hair. "You will be mine Clary."
