Interrupted

A City of Bones One- Shot

Jace's P.O.V

*Flashback*

"I've never been more awake" I said in a low voice. Leaning down to kiss Clary again, I thought of her soft warm lips and how beautiful she was. Our lips lightly brushed when Simon- the idiot mundane- burst though Clary's door.

"What the hell." He said bewildered.

*End Flashback*

I dwelled on this memory as I walked from Clary's room to mine. She was so different, so amazing, so beautiful… and yet, she didn't even realize it.

I entered my room and collapsed on my bed as I thought about Simon. It was obvious, and comically so, that he was in love with Clary, and she didn't see it.

Love was an odd thing; it made you do things you wouldn't think twice about for the person you love- because you would never had a choice.

I could kill Simon for that- for interrupting us, for loving Clary. But did I love Clary? My father had said countless times that to love was to destroy, and that words were weapons. I wanted to hurt Clary more than I had hurt any girl.

And I had never felt that way about any girl, no matter how pretty, how smart, how brave… and she was all three. You never know what she going to do, or say, she was so unpredictable. I chuckled when I thought of Clary slapping me, and when she called Alec a dickhead.

I sighed and closed my eyes. Alec thinks he's in love with me. But he isn't, not really. Of course, that meant he was gay, but that didn't matter. He was still the same Alec, not matter who- or what- he likes.

And Clary… do I love her?

No, I decided, not yet. But I could see how easy it would be, falling in love with her. It would be natural, effortless…

Then, there was a knock on my door.
