Jace

The night sky was beautiful, a mixture of orange and red. I smile looking up, resting my head against Simons shoulder. He smiles up at me. A flash of images spook through my head as I think of Jace. I knew I had feelings for that man, but he turned out to be my brother. I grimace, that must have been the single worst moment of my life, besides my mother dying. I look down, trying to hold back the tears. Simons looks over to me, worriedly.

"What's wrong Clary"? He asks, looking over to me. I look into his eyes. I could see myself falling for him, he has been my bestfriend since we were children. He has always been here for me. My mind wanders back to Jace. I just couldn't help thinking of him, but I needed to forget him. Could Valentine have been wrong? I think, slightly hopeful. Perhaps he wasn't my brother, but what would that mean? Would Jace want to still be with me, would I, and what about Simon. Since he confessed his love for me he hasn't left my side, he's been there for me, when my mother died, he comforted me. I sigh. Things right now were just too difficult. I look back over to Simon, whos looking at me expectantly.

"Its nothing Simon, just thinking about my mother". He nods, pulling me closer. He knew what I was going through, his father died in a car accident when he was 10. That must have been hard, I imagine a lot harder then by me. At least I had my mother for 17 years. I suddenly get snapped out of my thinking as I hear thunder.

"We should head back Clary, I need to get back to Hotel Durmort, Raphael said he needed me to be there before 11". I nod, standing up. Wondering what he needs Simon for. Simon stands up, slightly stretching. We head back towards my home. I let out a sigh. Its not really considered my home, but its all I have now. I look slightly to the right, and swear I saw something or someone.

"Clary". Simons says. I look over to him.

"Yes"? I ask, slightly confused.

"Did you hear what I said"? He asks, looking at me.

"Sorry no, what did you say"? I ask, blushing. Damn me and my thoughts. He'll catch onto me soon enough. I hope not sooner, I still need some time.

"I said, I hope you'll be okay in there without me for a few hours"? He says concerned.

"I'll be fine Simon, you should go, you don't want Raphael to be angry with you".

"I'm not worried, I'm sure he's too busy with Izzy". He laughs and I smile. His laugh was nice and sweet.

"Alright bye Simon".

"Goodnight Clary, sleep well". He says as he hugs me. I hug him back and we look at each other. He smiles as he walks off to Hotel Durmort. I stand there for a few more minutes, contemplating on what to think about everything. I feel someone watching me, I turn around and gasp slightly as I see Jace. I could feel his eyes piercing into my soul, I look at him, wondering what he was doing here and why he looked so.. mad?

"Jace, what are you doing here"? I manage to blurt out.

He says nothing as he heads towards me. I feel my heart racing, no stop I think. I cross my arms, waiting for him to speak. He comes in front of me.

"I was looking for you, I needed to speak with you, but I didn't want to interrupt your time with Simon. I know you don't see him as much as you would like to, considering he is a vampire and needs to be inside all day". I looked at him, expectantly. What was making Jace so nervous? Was it me? I think, my heart fluttering.

"Yes well its alright, what did you want to talk about"? I ask. I couldn't imagine what was so important that he would wait this long for me. I had been with Simon for over 2 hours, and it was now very late I notice as I cover my mouth with my hand as I yawn.

"I-I didn't want to say anything, because I didn't want to ruin things with you and Simon. I mean I know you two aren't together yet, but its probably just a matter of time-".

"What are you trying to say Jace, that Simon isn't right for me"? I snap, cutting him off.

"No, I'm just saying that maybe you should think about all your options". He mutters.

"My options, Jace please just stop okay, Simon is great, he's always been here for me". I say, annoyed. I take a step away from him, and don't look at him. Why does he care? I decide to go inside, I didn't want to listen to this anymore. I had had a nice evening with Simon, why did Jace have to ruin that. I head upstairs and go to my room, I reach to open the door but before I can, I feel a pair of strong arms spin me around. Its Jace.

"Would just leave me alone right now Jace". I say, looking at him annoyed.

"No, not before I tell you".

"Tell me what". I ask, confused as to what was so important that he was being this persistent with".

"I'm not your brother Clary". He says, looking at me waiting for my reaction.

"What"? I mumble, before passing out.
