Chapter 14

              Izzy is making me take all the credit to show Jace I was okay. I then saw his face. He didn't look happy. He then got up from his seat and came over to us. What does he want now?

"What may I help you with, Jace?" I asked him when he came over to us.

"Can we please talk?" He asked me.

"Then what is this. Isn't this talking?" I asked.

"In private?" He asked me.

"No. If you want to talk. Then talk. You can say whatever you must to me in front of them." I told him.

"I'm sorry. I do trust you. But you know that they can protect it better. I never meant to hurt you like that." He told me.

"Are you kidding me, Jace? You just brought it up when you were trying to apologize. You got to be joking with me." I told him.

When I caught what he slipped into that petty apology, Jace didn't know what to say. I will trust myself with a simple thing or something like this. Even if he doesn't like it. I didn't want to hear anything else from him. I got up and walked away from him. I didn't know where I was going. I just wanted some time to myself.

It has been a while since that day. I only talked to Jace when I had to. But I won't lie; I do miss him. He became a big part of my life, and I lost it. I don't know if Jace and I could be alright after all. He hasn't even tried to talk to me or anything. I don't know if he even wants to be with me anymore.

"Hiding away again?" I heard behind me. I looked over to see Simon.

"No. I wanted to be alone. I wanted to have some quiet time to sketch." I told him.

"Whatever you say, Fray." He told me.

"What do you need, Simon?" I asked him.

"I came to see if you are alright. I know you are still unhappy." He told me.

He would know. Just not because of him being my parabatai. But he was my best friend. He could read me like an old book he read multiple times.

"I miss him. I hate he doesn't trust me. He seems like he doesn't even want to be with me." I told him truthfully.

*Simon's POV*

I really hate seeing Clary hurt like this. I know she really likes Jace. It hurt her when he showed her that he really can't trust her. I then left her alone after talking with her. I really don't know what to do. But I want to do something. Clary deserves happiness. Even if it is with someone, I really can't stand at moments. Jace makes her happy. I now know what I must do. I need to talk to Jace.

I knocked on the door. I stood there waiting for someone to answer. I was hoping Jace was going to be here. I don't know where else where he would be. Then Alec opened the door. I glanced into the room. I didn't see Jace there. Maybe he is in the bathroom.

"Is Jace here?" I asked Alec.

"No. Before you even ask. I don't know where he is or when he will return." Alec to me.

"Okay. Thanks." I said.

I was just about to leave when I heard Alec asks,

"You are here to talk to Jace about Clary, right?"

"Yeah. Why?" I asked, confused.

He stood there looking at me. He looks like he was debating something with himself. He then said,

"Get in here."

I then went into the room. I just stood there in the middle of the room. I didn't know where to sit. Alec then shut the door and turned, looking at me.
