Clary's POV:
Dean of course, being the gentleman he is, walked me to class adding to my guilt. I of all people should know that staying in a relationship you can't fully commit to is not healthy.

After saying our goodbyes I entered the classroom with a heavy heart and the fact that it was math didn't add to my mood. I can't believe I stooped so low.

I could hardly concentrate through the class but luckily I sat at the back so I hoped the teacher didn't notice.

I was suddenly snapped out of my thoughts by the teacher saying me name.

My hopes were extinguished.

"Clarissa!" The Teacher snapped. She may have said it a number of times beforehand but I was too lost in thought to notice

"Pay attention. Your partisapation in class has deteriated greatl-"

Suddenly the door opened and a guy walked in with his hood up. But I knew him all too well.

Everyone watched as Jace entered the classroom and in a number of strides was seated beside me. I was relieved at the fact all focus was removed from me but there was something wrong. He didn't walk with his usual confidence, his shoulders were hunched and the hood cast a shadow across his face making it impossible to see his expression.

"Should I even ask Mr Herondale?" Mrs Thatcher said looking more bored than mad.

Jace didn't answer.

"I'll let this one slide but next time you will be reported to the principal."

Jace stayed still and muttered a quick 'thank you, sorry' which caused a lot of the classes heads to turn in his direction.

Jace never said sorry.

Even though that was a lie he had said sorry to me.

The teacher continued the class but I still couldn't concentrate even after being told off. All my focus was on Jace. I felt quit guilty, which I probably shouldn't have felt, but Jace just wasn't himself and I couldn't help but feel like it was because of me.

Suddenly the bell rang and the students quickly began leaving the classroom eager to get out of this hell hole that they call school.

I saw Jace in front of me and I made a spur of the moment decision to talk to him.

"Jace" I called but he stayed walking. I'm not sure was I imagining things or did he get faster.

"Jace!" I shouted running to catch up with him as he walked across the school yard towards his car. I caught up to him and grabbed his arm. He stopped looking away from me.

"Jace are you ok?" I asked breathlessly but I didn't receive a reply.

I walked around to stand in front of him. He looked away so I couldn't see his face.

"Jace. Look at me" I said sternly moving my hand up to force him to look at me.

But when he did I wish he hadn't.

My breath caught in my throught and I drew back my hand.Jaces eye was swollen and bruises peppered his face causing his usual perfect features to look contorted and wrong. I could also see a cut creeping up his neck from his jumper. Who knows how many more he had around his body

He couldn't look me in the eye. His eyes were dull and dark and unfocused.

"Who did this to you?" I whispered. All previous thoughts forgotten.

Jace stayed silent.

"Hey" I said reaching out to touch his arm.

Jace flinched and grabbed my hand with his free one. Finally looking me in the eyes and all they showed were hurt.

My heart ached. Just looking at Jace was enough to make my anger melt away. So I did the only thing I could think to do.

I walked forward and wrapped my arms around him carefully in a hug. At first he hesitated but soon he wrapped his arms around me pulling me closer. I hadn't even noticed I had began crying.

"What happened Jace?" I cried. "We fell out before we even became friends properly"

"I know" he whispered.

I pulled away slightly to look at him.

There were students walking past staring at us but I didn't care.

"How about we start again?" I said softly, stepping away from him and holding my hand out in front of me.

"Hey I'm clary" I said with a smile.

"Jace" he said taking my hand. He smiled and I felt a blush creep onto my cheeks.

It was ridiculous the effect he had on me but I couldn't help but feel like this was familiar.

Thank God they finally made up!
But what about Dean? I'm still not sure who will end up with Clary but oh well.

Anyways I'm thinking of starting a new story and I'm not sure what it will be about so please comment below beside the story you want me to right next (just type 'yes' or a letter or something). It will be set in real life.
