Kiss me like you wanna be loved.

{Clarys POV}

"Are you sure you have everything?" Will turns to me and this time i cant resist the urge to sigh.

"Yes, that's the third time you've asked since we got in the car." His bright blue eyes are focused steadily on the road, his hair curling slightly behind his ear a telltale sign it needs cut.

"Okay." He nods and quickly wets his bottom lip with a flick of his tongue, i know what's coming next.

"So is Jace still coming?" He enquires but doesnt take his eyes off the road this time, neither do i.

"Yeah, Isabelle says he's bringing Kaelie." Something inside me cracks like a whip but i ignore it and every other emotion that sprouts up out of nowhere. Will makes some sound that i suppose could be one of distaste.

"His back up then?"

I watch the road ahead being swallowed up by Wills car and realise he's right. She was always there for him to fall back on, his safety net.

"We're not much better than him though are we?" Will glances at me for a second and looks as if he wants to comfort me. I'm grateful when he doesn't, our relationship at the moment was more about fending off the loneliness than anything else.

"Clary, can i ask you a question?"
He turns to go down a dirt path towards our camping spot and we each catch a glimpse of Jace's beat up car through the trees.

"Sure, i guess."

He begins to slow down when we reach the make shift car park
"Don't take this the wrong way but how many guys have you been with?"

Is he seriously already becoming possesive?

"Two, why?" I eye him as he kills the engine and he turns to properly look at me "Jace is the other one?" He asks and i nod

"And how many has he been with?" He asks, i dont even think because i wouldn't know the answer. Too many to count. He takes my silence as an answer.

"He questions your loyalty so much because he's insecure and has commitment issues." He grabs his large rucksack from the back seat
"That's hardly your fault even if you are seeing other people now that you're not together."

"But... the kiss." William rolls his eyes and opens the door sliding one leg out

"If he'd given me a minute to fucking explain myself." He snaps at nobody in particular and gets out of the car, stretching his long legs.
I follow suit slamming my door behind me and watch him fumble with the key to the trunk.

"What was that about exactly, just randomly kissing me like a lunatic?" I'm aware i'm taking my anger out on him but i'm unable to stop myself like every other time we've fought in the short time we've been 'together'.

He gives up trying to open it
"I'm in love with you." He offers but i brush him off moving him to the side to collect my belongings from the car

"No you don't Will. You love whatshername."

"Tessa?"

"Yes, her. Jems girlfriend."
I feel as though i should be jealous considering he's my fake boyfriend but really i just feel sorry for him.

"You can be in love with more than one person you know." He mumbles and grabs his tent bag from the trunk.

"How romantic." The female blonde haired devil emerges from the trees and immediately eyes William up. Typical. He doesn't even say anything as she strokes a perfectly painted red nail along his arm and takes his rucksack from him.
