Chapter 5

I was pulled out of my own head by the bell. Everyone was coming in; some were going to the saved seats with things in them. Others were just heading to any open seats they could find. Then I saw someone I didn't want to see or talk to. And, of course, he comes and sits next to me. Just my luck. I just ignored him for the whole class. When class was over, I got out of there.

*Jace's POV*

Clary left the room like it was on fire when class was over. I know I messed up big time. I bet she doesn't want to talk to me right now. I am probably the last person she wants to see, but I will not give up.

I walked down the hallway. I then saw that Izzy told Alec. I went right over to them. If anyone could help me. It's Izzy. She is Clary's roommate anyway. She could talk to Clary or something. When I got over to them. Izzy acted like I was not even there. So, asking her for help is out of the question. But I am going to try anyway.

"Hey, I know you are probably on Clary's side and everything. But I really need your help." I told Izzy.

"Alec, is there a buggy noise or something I hear?" Izzy asked Alec.

"Izzy, really? Are we five? Just hear him out. I know Jace is a lady's man and everything. But he is still family. You can't ignore him forever." Alec told Izzy.

"I can if I want to." Izzy told him.

"Izzy, I know I messed up. But I want to fix it. Please will you help me. I will do anything. I really don't want to lose her." I told him truthfully.

"If you didn't want to lose her. Then you shouldn't have done that to her. You wouldn't have been sharing spit with that wannabe if you wanted. Clary waited for you. You never showed. Instead, she sees you sharing spit with that wannabe. So, really think about what you need to do." Izzy told me. She was not happy with me at all.

"She saw me?" I asked her. I was more surprised. So, that's why she isn't talking to me. But why is it a big deal about me kissing someone else? Clary is my friend. But there are some feelings from. But I don't know about her.

"Yeah. When she was training with someone else. When they left, they saw you. So, if you really want to make it better and fix things. Stay away from her for now. Let her have some space." Izzy told me.

"Why would I do that?" I asked them.

"It's what's best for her. I don't want to see her hurt." Izzy told me.

"Is there something to tell me?" I asked her, confused. Is there something she knows that I don't? Of course, there is. But what is it?

"No. I will see you later, Alec. Jace, please just do me a favor and leave her alone." Izzy told us. She then left us both standing there confused.

I looked over to see Alec as confused as I was. What was it all about? There is more there than what she isn't telling me. I then asked,

"What the hell is up with her?"

"I don't know. But she seems like she is protecting Clary from you. But I thought Clary doesn't like you like that. You don't like her like that." Alec said.

"Alec, I don't know what my feelings are for her. But there is something. I just haven't figured out what yet. The feelings for me from her. I don't think there is anything. Except for a friendship, that's it." I told him.

"Jace, just be careful with what you are doing. Remember, the rune to fix a broken heart is the most painful." Alec told me.

"I know. Don't worry. I will figure it all out." I told him.
