It didn't take her long to get back. She turned to see if Sebastian had followed her but he hadn't and when she turned back she barged straight into someone and fell on the floor. She looked up and saw Jace,
"Sorry," he said bending down by her side. "Why were you running?"
Her throat had gone dry. Eventually she found her voice and said
"Sebastian, I was running from Sebastian."
"Why? Did he do something to you? And what happened to your wrist?"
She felt a searing pain when he mentioned her wrist and looked down to see it was burnt from where Sebastian had gripped it.
She hadn't even felt it before he had mentioned it. She stared at the burn in disbelief.
"I didn't even see that," she whispered.
"Come inside, lets get you cleaned up and I'll do an iratze."
"I think I twisted my ankle" she gripped her ankle in pain.
Jace carefully hauled her to her feet. He grabbed her hand and put it around his shoulder and then guided her inside. He took her up to his room and sat her on his bed.
"Clary what happened?" He said calmly, but the rage in his eyes was as clear as day.
"Well, I went to break up with Sebastian and when I did he gripped my wrist and I don't know or really understand what happened after that." She said looking down at the burn. She felt another burn on her arm as Jace applied the iratze and her wrist injuries slowly started to fade.
"Listen, I'm sorry about trying to force you to break up with Sebastian, what made you do it anyway?"
"I can't explain it, but I just knew that I had to." She said
They were both avoiding eye contact. They sat there in silence for a while, Jace was looking out his window, Clary watching the burn fade on her wrist.
"Clary, did- did he burn you?"
She took a deep breath, "I think so, but I don't know how."
"I'm gonna kill him, I'm gonna find him and kill him!" His eyes flashed murderously.
"No Jace, just leave him."
"You're still defending him? After he did that?!"
"Don't shout at me, and what do you mean still?"
"I'm talking about the other night." He said in a flat tone.
"Oh you wanna talk about the other night do you, why don't we talk about the fact that you kissed me then took off before I could even open my eyes and to top it all off you avoided me afterwards!"
"I have my reasons." He said
"Well please, enlighten me! Why did you kiss me?"
"I don't want to talk about it."
"No you wanted to talk before, why did you kiss me?!"
"Just forget about it."
"No I won't forget about it. You can't just come and do things and not expect people to question your actions. I'm not asking you about him anymore I'm asking you about me, why did you kiss me? There was obviously a reason or you wouldn't have done it, so what's you-"
He grabbed her and kissed her fiercely. His lips came down hard on hers but softened after a while. It was a passionate kiss of deep desire and longing. Her arms twined up around his neck and she tugged on his hair. He groaned against her mouth and kissed her harder. Eventually he untangled himself from her.
"I kissed you to shut you up." He croaked.
"Well, consider my mouth shut." She said pulling him back in. They kissed more gently this time, softer and shorter kisses. They were kissing for what felt like hours, when her phone buzzed in her pocket. She ignored it but after a couple more insistent buzzes she pulled away from him reluctantly. She checked it and there were several texts from Isabelle.
"It's Izzy, I have to go, seems urgent." She said regrettably.
"Do you have to?" He said going in for another kiss.
"You-know-what-she's-like. She'll-kill-me." She Replied between kisses.
"I-don't-want-you-too-though."
She broke away from him.
"I'll be back soon and if I'm not then you can come and get me." She left the room.
Every nerve in Jace's body was buzzing with energy. It coursed through his pulsing veins. His heart was still racing as he watched her leave. He felt a horrible detached feeling seeing her go, but he knew she would be back.
