All Because of You (Jace Herondale)

Chapter 3

You have no idea what do do about Jace. You literally just got here and you've already screwed up a committed relationship. Wait a second. This isn't your fault. It's his. If he wants to screw his own life up it's his call. But you know Clary will never forgive you so you head to his room to try and clear things up. You knock on the door and Jace answers. Shirtless. He really isn't making it easy. You try not to look at his toned stomach as he invites you in. You sit on the bed and look around the super neat room. Not a thing is out of place. He sits down across from you in an armchair," So, why are you here?" He obviously knows the answer to that but you answer for him anyway," I want to know why you kissed me." He shrugs, trying to play it off like he doesn't care. You prod him a little," Jace WHY did you KISS me?" You say a little louder than necessary and he puts a finger to your lips," SHHHHH! Do you want the whole goddamned place to know?" he hisses. Of course, how could you be so stupid. You cross your eyes and stare at his finger on you lips, soft and gentle. He notices you looking and moves it away. " Look, here's the deal. You're a great person, but the kiss was a mistake. I love Clary. It was just impulse and hormones. I'm a teenage boy for God's sake. Forget about it." You nod, slightly hurt that he just kissed you and threw you aside. But it shouldn't matter, right? It's not like you love him or anything.
