Clary's POV
After dinner we walk back to my house. Sitting on the front steps is my mom, Avy, and Simon. I run up to them.
"Simon," I say. I give him a hug.
"Thanks for telling me you had a baby," he says.
"I'm sorry," I say, "I couldn't risk you guys finding me. Blame Jace for that."
"I told you I didn't cheat on you," Jace says. I stick my tongue out at him like a little kid. He grins like he did the other day when I threw my knife at him.
"Oh no," I say, "I am not doing that again."
He laughs and I smile. Everyone else laughs except Simon.
"What's so funny?"
"I will tell you later," Izzy says. He nods and we go inside. Me and Izzy go put on shorts and tank tops. We go to the living room where everyone else went. Izzy goes and sits by Simon. The only sit left is by Jace. I sigh and go over to the love seat. Jace hands me Avy.
"So what were you talking about earlier?" Simon asks me.
"I threw a knife at Jace and he said I would pay. I ran and climbed the tree and he couldn't get up. He told me to get down so I jumped and ran into Clarke's room. He snuck in when me and Clarke were playing with Avy. He picked me up and carried me to my room. Then he set me on the bed and kissed me," I say.
"So you cheated on her and then kissed her," Simon says to Jace.
"I didn't cheat on her," Jace says, "tell them I didn't cheat on you."
"I thought he did," I say, "but he explained everything to me. He will now explain what happened."
"The girl Clary saw was my ex girlfriend. She moved away from New York because I broke up with her. She came to me saying that she still loves me and that I should break up with Clary. I told her that was never going to happen. She said that she will make Clary break up with me then. She must have saw Clary so she kissed me. I pushed her away and ran after Clary. I was too late she had already left the Institute."
"Wait was it the girl we all hated?" Isabelle asks. Jace nods.
"Now can I kill her?"
"No Isabelle," I say, "I have a plan. Jace can you call her and tell her you want to talk to her. Tell her to meet you at the Institute."
"Why?" He asks.
"It is all part of my plan," I say, "you won't have to talk to her."
"Ok I will call her now," he says. He gets up and leaves the room.
Jace's POV
I leave the room and call Tara. She answers after the first ring.
"Hello," she says.
"Hi Tara," I say, "it is Jace."
"Jace hi," she says.
"I need you to come to the Institute. I need to talk to you. Come tomorrow at two o'clock."
"Ok," she says and I hang up.
