The mortal instruments: truth or lie

chapter 7

no one's P.O.V.

They were just in the park walking and having a good time. But that ended with one question.

" Clary what's wrong and don't tell me that's nothing's wrong because I know you and I know something is bothering you"?

She stopped in her tracks with her head hung low. Jace turned to face her. He noticed her not trying to make eye contact with him. So he brought both his hands up to cup her face.He used his right index finger and thumb to force her to look at him. She looked up at him with tears streaming down her face. He looked into her emerald green eyes and saw pain, regret and guilt. But that can't be it clary has nothing to be guilty about or so he thought.

" What's wrong? you can tell me anything you know that right".

She nodded in agreement.

" So what's wrong then"?

clary took a deep breath and opened her mouth right before she could say anything Jonathan appeared.

"Hello little sister".

"What do you want"? it wasn't jace who spoke but clary.

" That's no way to talk to your big brother now is it?"

" I don't care your not my brother and I will never love you" she spat.

" oooh but that's not what you said that night" he spat back.

Jace looked lost and confused. Jonathan noticed. He thought about it for a minute a smirk appeared on his face and said

" So I'm going to guess that you didn't tell lover boy or did you?"

She sucked in a breath and lowered her head in shame.

"clary what is he talking about?" Jace asked.

" Back off Jonathan."

" Why should I dear sister. why should I." he took a step towards them with the most evil grin on his face and said the most terrifying words he could ever say. I mean EVER. Just a few words a clary's life came tumbling down.
