I know one thing. I am going to be questioning him about that later. Even if I had to use my whip and put him upside down like when we were kids. I will get the answers I need. I will not let him play with Clary's heart like he does with any other girl.

When we returned to the school, Clary and I said goodbye to Aline and Helen. Then, we headed back to our room. I will go visit my dear brothers later. I know Jace will not be back yet. He will be back soon. He probably has another date to get ready for.

"Hey, you okay?" I asked Clary. She has been quiet for the reason of the time. I don't blame her. I would be hurt, too, if I was her.

"Yeah. Just trying to remind myself that it will never happen. That kind of helps get over him a little quicker." She told me truthfully.

"I bet. It will get better, girly." I told her.

"I know." She told me.

"You going to be okay? I am heading out. But if you want to talk some more about it. I will stay." I told her.

"No. You go. I will be fine. It's not a big deal. I am just going to hang out here." She told me.

"Okay." I said.

I wouldn't tell her about my plan to talk to Jace. I already know what she would say. She would tell me I don't have to and not to. But here's the thing. I did have to. I wanted to.

Jace's POV*

I got back to my room after my one date. I must get ready for my second date. Yeah, I know. What a player. But all the girls I go out with know I will see other girls too. They don't like it. They think they could be the ones to tame me. But I haven't met anyone who can do that.

"Hey, how was your date with Kim?" Alec asked me.

"That was her name. Okay. I will remember that. It was alright." I told him.

Then, the door of our room opened. Izzy came in and shut it. That would be here. The only one to do it. We didn't mind because she was our sister. But she looked like she was going to be questioning one of us. This isn't going to be good. I have a feeling who that will be.

"Jace, what is wrong with you?" Izzy yelled at me.

"What are you talking about? There is nothing wrong with me." I told her, confused.

"Really? Then why were you watching Clary earlier at the cafe shop when you were on a date?" She asked me.

Wait, she saw me doing that. Did Clary see me doing it? Oh my. That is what she is talking about. I then said,

"You saw that?"

"Yeah. So did Helen, Aline, and Clary." She told me.

Oh shit. So, Clary did see it. She must think I'm some kind douchebag or something. Shit, what am I going to do?

"Wait, you were watching Clary when you were on your date?" Alec asked like he just heard it.

"Yes. He was. What is going Jace? Clary's heart is not a heart to play with like these other girls. I don't want her to get hurt." Izzy told me.

"Izzy, I swear that is not what I want to do. It's just…" I didn't know how to finish that sentence at all. Not without her knowing.

"It's just what? Jace, you need to figure this out. Before you lose her. Because you are already starting, too." Izzy told me.

"I know Izzy. I am trying to make up for it. It's just that I don't know what is going on. But I do know that I don't want to lose her." I told her truthfully.

"Just figure it out. Before it's too late." She told me. She then left the room without saying another word.

"Well, what are you going to do?" Alec asked me.

"I have no idea yet. I must go. I am now late for my date." I told him. I then got quickly ready and left.

For the rest of the night, my head wasn't in it. I had the situation was in with Clary on my mind. Also, I mainly had Clary on my mind. When I returned to my room for the night, I just popped on my bed and stared at the ceiling. I need to talk to her and figure this all out. I can't lose her. Tomorrow is a new day. I will do it then. Nothing will stop me.

I woke up the following day. I was still in my clothes last night. I don't remember falling asleep. All I remember was thinking about Clary. I need to talk to her. Figure this all out. I know there is something there. But I just don't know what.

"What did you just get back or something? Don't tell me you spent it in her room." Alec asked me when he got up and saw me.

"No. When I returned, I fell onto my bed and fell asleep." I told him.

"So, I take it you had a good date." He said.

"The opposite of that. I can't get Clary out of my head. That was all I could think about all night. I tried everything. But nothing worked." I told him truthfully.

"Then what are you going to do? Do you have feelings for her?" He asked me.

"I don't know. There is something there. I just never felt like this towards a girl. Mostly like someone like her. She is different." I told him.

"Just do what is best for everyone. Because Izzy really took a liking to her. This means she and that Simon guy might be joining our group. I don't want any issues if they do." He told me.

"Don't worry, Alec. There won't be any issues. Why do you think they would be joining our group? She can still join her guys' group." I asked him. Even though our group would be a better choice. We get better missions and everything.

"Just a feeling. Just go talk to her. Get this all over with." He told me.

I gave him a smile, which changed quickly and then left. I head towards her room first. I might have caught her before she headed to breakfast.

Clary's POV*

Izzy, Aline, Helen, and I decided to go out for breakfast today. We are allowed when we don't have school. So, we were heading to that cafe we all liked. They have been telling me that the breakfast there is the best.

"So, Clary, can I ask something?" Helen asked me.

"Sure. What's up?" I asked her.

"Yesterday, we saw Jace on that date. You seemed upset about it. Do you like him?" She asked me.

So, it was that obvious yesterday. I thought I was hiding my feelings the best I could. But looks like I didn't. I then said,

"Yes. But I am trying to overcome these feelings because I know nothing will happen." I told them truthfully.

"Why would you say that? He couldn't keep his eyes from you yesterday?" Aline said.

"We don't know if he was looking at me or another girl." I told them.

"Girl, you are denying it. He was watching you. You only." Aline said.

"Clary, he was looking at you yesterday. I went to talk to him yesterday when we got back. He thought he was being clever and sneaky about it. But he wasn't. We all know. But Clary, he told me he doesn't want to lose you. But he doesn't know how he feels." Izzy told me.

I didn't know what to say. Just before I could say anything. I heard my name being called. We all looked back to see Jace coming towards us. I looked over to everyone. I really don't know what to say to him.

"Do you want us to stay with you?" Izzy asked me.

"No. I will meet you guys there." I told them.

They then went ahead of me. I stood there waiting for him. I know I will need to get this out of the way. I know Izzy didn't want to leave me alone. But I need to do this by myself. Jace then got up to me.

"Hey." He said to me.

"Hey." I said to him.

"So…" He said.

"So, what's up?" I asked him.

"I want to talk to you about everything going on." He told me.

"Okay. What about it?" I asked him.

We then started to walk into town. I didn't really want to look at him and see my feelings in my eyes. So, I just keep my eyes forward. He then said,

"You know I don't want to lose you. I know I messed up by missing out on the training that day. But I will do anything to make it up. You are someone special to me."

I looked over to him. I could see he really meant what he said. I gave him a smile and said,

"I forgive you. Just don't do it again. You are something special to me, too. What you have to make up for me is to train with me some more."

"Deal." He told me with a smile.

I smiled back at him. I could feel my heart flutter when I looked at him. I really do like him. I don't know what I am going to do.

"I better catch up to the girls." I said to him.

"Okay. I will see you around." He told me. We then went our separate ways.

Jace's POV*

I know I didn't say everything I wanted to say. But I am still figuring out most of everything. Now, I know I will not lose her as a friend. I can try to figure out what all these feelings are. See where it all goes. I am going to need a lot of luck.
