Well I just wrote this because I was in the mood to write and for some reason I keep having the urge to write Clary and Jace... So this is the result.. Read and Review. It's Fluff-tastic! :D

I sighed looking at the two of them. My best friend, Jace, sarcastic, funny, amazing, Jace and his god awful new girlfriend were sitting on the bench in front of everyone making out. I winced as I saw Aline look over at me and wink. My cheeks flushed a dark red with both embarrassment at being caught looking… and rage. I couldn't stand how Jace dated these girls and flaunted them out in front of everyone… in front of me. Though I guess I couldn't complain… It wasn't as if Jace knew that I'd been in love with him since I'd practically first laid eyes on him...

I looked down at my sketch pad where I'd been trying to draw something besides Jace. He knew I'd been trying to draw him, but in my eyes, I just couldn't get it right…

The bell rang pulling me out of my pouting and staring at the blank page. I hopped up and headed off to class, not going to try and wait for Jace, he'd just be with Aline anyways…

All day throughout school, my mind was preoccupied. Anytime my name was called by the teacher, someone would have to nudge me or something to get my attention. I failed a few tests, bumped into a few people, dropped my books often, didn't eat lunch, and left the school early due to a 'fever'.

Now I was home curled up on the couch with a spoon and a tub of mint chocolate chip ice cream watching some sappy romance movie. I wasn't even sure what movie it was, I'd just grabbed off of my mom's romance shelf. My mind wasn't even focused, hardly was nowadays anyways, it was running with everything… Jace, though of course was the star of the show, as always.

I wasn't sure when I'd started crying until I heard the sobbing coming from my chest. Why couldn't he love me? Why did I have to love someone who didn't love me back? Why couldn't I accept that Jace would never love someone like little ol' Clary? Why? Why? Why?

I then paused in my thoughts to listen to the movie. "So it's not gonna be easy. It's gonna be really hard. We're gonna have to work at this every day, but I want to do that because I want you. I want all of you, forever, you and me, every day. Will you do something for me, please? Just picture your life for me? 30 years from now, 40 years from now? What's it look like? If it's with him, go. Go! I lost you once, I think I can do it again. If I thought that's what you really wanted. But don't you take the easy way out." After hearing that, I choked up in sobs again. Trying to picture my life without Jace was impossible.

Back in 4th grade, I had been new to the town and had no friends. I was in the school for about a week before Jace came to the school. He was new too with his golden eyes and golden blond hair. Since we'd both been new, the teacher had stuck us together, I used to be the odd one out, but now we both were… At first we were both shy and would hardly say two words, then one day on the playground, one kid was trying to steal the ball I was playing with and pushed me down. Jace had run up and pushed the kid down, taking the ball back from him and told him to get away and leave me alone. Since them we were best friends. All the way through elementary school we were inseparable, we only lived about 2 houses away and were always together. Through all of middle school, we'd always hang out and made sure to help eachother out with homework and all issues, through the death of Jace's father in 7th grade… Then in high school we were always together. Around 10th grade summer, Jace started to really get into dating the girls… I'd realized I was in love with him 9th grade. Now we were seniors in high school and he always had a different girl, we were still best friends and hung out anytime he wasn't doing sports or with girls. He was at my house or I was at his every day. It never failed.

Now it just hurt too much to be around him and his girlfriends. I couldn't tell him how I felt. I knew everyone that he'd dated knew I was in love with him… they just stayed with him to hurt me… It sucked. I was scared that if I even tried to tell Jace how I felt, he'd tell me he saw me as a sister or something… It would just hurt too much. I couldn't do it, I was too scared.

"Clary?" I jumped and looked up wiping my eyes quickly. He was standing there, looking as angelic as ever. I resisted a sob that had come up just looking at him. He kneeled down by my side, taking the ice cream from me and setting it on the coffee table. "Clary what's wrong?" he asked wiping a tear off my cheek. I noticed the TV was scrolling the credits for the movie. "Clary, talk to me." His hand was on my cheek rubbing small circles.

I started to say something, anything to reassure him, his beautiful face was torn with sadness, but I ended up breaking down into another sob. "Shhh Clary it's alright…" he whispered sitting on the couch and pulling me into his arms rubbing my back and rocking us gently. I finally quieted down and clung to Jace. After realizing I'd quieted, he reluctantly let go. He placed both hands on my face and looked into my eyes. "What's wrong Clare bear?" he asked.

I didn't want to tell him what exactly was wrong… That I was in love with him and he wasn't with me… So I'd just keep it vague. "I'm in love with someone who I know doesn't love me like I love him." I whispered. I noticed shock and something that seemed like hurt register on his face. "And I'm scared to tell him…" I whispered watching him closely.

"Who is he Clary?" he asked, his voice containing some steel and I swear I could detect some hurt. I shook my head quickly, his hands still on my face, restraining me from moving too much. "Tell me Clary."

Tears gathered in my eyes as I shook my head. "I can't." I choked.

He smoothed my hair back and cleared the tears that were spilling. "Why not?" he whispered, holding me closer.

I had to tell him… I just had to… I looked up into his eyes. "I don't want to get hurt…" I whispered watching him.

"Clary, you're my best friend, please tell me, I'll make sure you don't get hurt." He whispered holding me tightly.

I took a deep breath, after I'd convinced myself I would never tell him, I was going to. Now. "You." I said watching his eyes. His brow furrowed as he took it in, he opened his mouth to say something and closed it, and there was shock in his expression, a lot of shock. "I know you probably don't think of me as anything but a sister or just a friend… but it's you I'm in love with, for practically ever…" I said softly trailing off as he pressed a finger to my lips.

He shook his head with a chuckle. "Have I ever told you you're crazy Clare bear?" he asked smirking. I raised an eyebrow, going to say something until he continued. "Utterly crazy…" he muttered. "Did you know I broke up with Aline today? About 15 minutes into first period… I spent all day watching you… now I know why you've been so out of it… Why would you worry so much about this? Silly girl..." he removed his finger from my lips and replaced it with his lips.

I gasped breathing in his oh so intoxicating scent of sunlight, if it had a smell that is… Our mouths moved against one another's, at first soft but then desperate and needing. My fingers threaded themselves into his hair pulling him closer. I was finally kissing Jace… My best friend, the same boy I'd been in love with for years, Jace.

Breathlessly and unwillingly I pulled back. "What… was… that?" I asked trying to catch my breath. He chuckled breathlessly and kissed my forehead.

"Oh you silly girl… Clarissa Fray, I've been in love with you for years." I blinked. Did he just say what I thought he said? "How could I not? You're perfect. I thought you wouldn't love me. That's why I haven't said anything… I was too scared to pursue you, which is why I'd dated all those girls… They were distractions from my true feelings… It was stupid, I know, but I couldn't stand it if I would have told you and been rejected."

My eyes filled up with tears and I threw my arms around his neck hugging him tightly. "Oh Jace!" He squeezed me back holding me closer than we'd ever been. Our lips found each other's again as we desperately clung to the other. I wouldn't, I couldn't get enough. I was on a high… Jace loved me. ME!

After a while of intense kissing we pulled apart smiling like idiots. "So where does this leave us?" I asked snuggling into his lap.

He chuckled and leaned forward grabbing the ice cream. "Well, I'd say this calls for a movie marathon and sleep over." He winked causing me to blush. We'd had plenty of sleep overs before… but now… it was going to be a whole new ball game.

I smiled and took the ice cream from him, taking a little bit before feeding him some. "Well I'd say, let's get this started."

He smiled and kissed me quickly. "I love you Clary."

I smiled back, euphoric. "I love you Jace."
