A/N: New story, guys. This idea has been in my head for FOREVER. I need to put it down. Mk, so, I'm gonna be out of town all weekend. So I will try to write on the car ride, but I can't post till late Sunday or Monday after school. Scratch that, Tuesday after school, cause I'm hanging out with my friends Halloween Night. SLAUGHTERHOUSE WHOOO! So I hope you enjoy.

Jace POV:

I was flying high. I had a popular, hot, sexy girlfriend whom I was in love with. I have stunning good looks and good grades this semester. Of course, that had all come down when I turned the corner of the street. Standing there was said girlfriend, Kaelie, clothes ripped, blood trickling down her face. Next to her was the leering face of my enemy Sebastian Verlac. I froze.

"Why won't you go out with me, dirty slut!" he screamed in her face. I tried to pull myself out of the shock. She quivered.

"I love my Jace," She whispered hoarsely, "I will never choose anybody but him." I was proud of her, my angel. Now I needed to come to her rescue. I never got the chance.

"Really now," he ran his tongue along her jaw, lapping up the blood. "Then I guess I'll just have to kill you, bitch." With that, he slammed a long butcher knife into her chest, laughing as she screamed and slid down the wall, leaving a smear of blood against it. I yelled in pain and rage and ran towards him, grabbing a pipe that lay abandoned on the alley floor. I beat him senseless, then heartlessly tore the knife from Kaelie's chest and cut his face, cut his limbs, chopping him up with anger and heartache. I barely noticed the police lights. My gentle, kind self broke. I was no longer Jace. I was a monster.

I wasn't sent to prison. The judge heard my story and told me he had once before been in that situation. Instead I was to be held hostage in my house, and to see a therapist. My eyes dull, full with hate, I nodded. Nothing sounded remotely interesting anymore. Seventeen and my life already wrecked. But nothing was happy without Kaelie. Nothing. Zip. Zero. Zilch. Nada.

I destroyed my room. Killed it, more accurately. The pillows ripped, papers on the floor, clothes reduced to scraps and scattered in every nook and cranny. I was so hell-bent on my anger, I journeyed to Alec's room and demolished his as well. The response was anything but happy.

"WHAT THE HELL?"

"At least it wasn't the love of your life." I muttered coldly. He shook his head and walked out, leaving me with my tortured mind.

Days, weeks, nothing mattered. Time was irrelevant.

Each day my heart tore.

Just

a little

bit

more.

"Jace," the sharp voice of Robert tore me from my gaze. He looked at me with concern. "Are you OK?" I shook my head. He just didn't understand.

"No," I whispered harshly, "because my life was killed in front of my eyes and I am the monster who killed the demon that did it." He looked at me long and hard and gave a dejected sigh.

"Son, it's not-"

"Don't call me son!" I growled. He flinched. "Because you and I know that it's untrue." His eyes filled with hurt, then hardness.

"Get ready. Clean yourself up." Robert said in a flat, unemotional tone. "The therapist will be here in an hour. Justdo it!" He hissed when I opened my mouth to protest. I shrugged and he walked out, slamming the door.

I was led downstairs for my meeting. I turned, expecting to cuss out an old, creeper of a woman when I stopped in my tracks. There was a girl, maybe a little younger than me, with fire red hair and eyes like emerald chips. She was short, but curvy and assessing me with her eyes. Without fear, she held out her hand.

"Clarissa Fray," She said with a small smile, "your therapist. But call me Clary."

"Clary, don't shake his hand he's a con-" A tall, model-esque, Asian girl by Clary's side looked at me, totally checking me out with an expression of arousal and fear. I smirked, face hard.

"Aline, shut up. He's a person, not a wild animal," she growled back, "I know you think he's hot, but really? Not the time." The girl shut her mouth and glared at Clary, "Sorry. This is my PA-"

"Aline," The girl said, pursing her lips. Clary nodded in annoyance.

"Great, now we all know each other. Aline, you can go now," She nodded and left. Clary pointed to the couch, "Can I sit down or are you gonna bitch me out for kicking a hot girl from your house?" I chuckled darkly in reply and nodded. We sat across from each other.

"So, I'm not going to be a lame and ask you stupid questions that you already know about yourself," she said softly, "So why don't you say whatever you've got on your mind." I peered out from under my lashes.

"And if I don't?"

"Hey, I can't make you do anything," she said with a small smile, "But your my last appointment of the day, you always will be, so I can wait all night." I admired her confidence, I'll give her that. Settling back into the cushions, she gave me a look that screamed "try me."I sighed, folding my arms.

"Why are you here?" I asked her. Her eyebrows rose.

"Because, apparently, my boss says that you have issues. I disagree with my boss. You seem normal, aside from the extreme amounts of enthusiasm you're experiencing," she retorted calmly, sarcasm thick. I rolled my eyes.

"I mean, you look maybe fifteen or sixteen."

"Ha, like I don't get that every second of my life. I'm seventeen," she groaned. I gave her a once over. "Must be the shortness," I thought

"Why do you want to help me? I'm a monster," I croaked. My eyes were probably lifeless. Yet she looked as though she could see my soul. It took her a minute to reply.

"Because," she said softly. "I know what you did. And you killed him because he killed your one love. And I know what it feels like, to be so hurt, you're barely functional. I'm not going to make you do or say anything you don't want to. I've been hurt. You've been hurt. Badly. And yet,here we are."

The tears started to flow.
