"You fucking moron!" Alec exploded. "What were you thinking?"

Jace growled at him. "It's not that big of a deal."

"Not that big of-" Alec threw his hands up in the air. "Not that big of a deal! Jace! You're a model. You can't pick up gigs with a bulky ugly cast."

Jace narrowed his eyes. "We don't even know if it is broken yet."

They both looked at his hand. It was cracked and bleeding, bruises appearing rapidly. It was bent a little but you couldn't see a lot under all the blood and bruises.

"Well, does it feel broken?" Alec asked scathingly.

Jace flexed his hand trying to move his fingers. They moved with a little pain. It felt funny. Like something had disconnected a little.

"I don't know." He moved it again. "Feels a little funny."

Alec took a deep breath, trying to control his anger. "Come on, Magnus is on shift tonight."

"No!" Jace growled at Alec. "I don't need to go the hospital."

"Well what do you want me to do? Wrap it myself. Be your little bitch for a week, listening to you moan and complain aboout how much it hurts." Alec's sarcasm was at an all time high.

"No." Jace sighed feeling defeated. He hated hospitals. And he hated people he didn't know touching him and talking to him. But the idea of Magnus taking care of him made him feel uneasy too.

"Let's go." Alec said, his voice much softer then before.

Jace followed him to his car, trying not to stay calm. The anger that had caused him to punch the wall repeatedly was still coursing through his veins, and the pain radiating through his nerves was not making him feel any better.

The ride was silent, almost suffocating. They were both trying to contain their anger. Jace's at the world. Alec's at his friend and his self deprecation. Normally he was pretty good at hiding his self loathing. Even so, he had not been happy in a long time. Not since Max had been killed in car wreck. Alec had bad days. He had lost his brother but he was healing. Jace had good days. Too caught up in grieving to participate in the world around him. It was a good thing he had a pretty face.

"Why'd you punch the wall?" Alec finally asked. His voice was hard but Jace knew he was concerned.

"Wanted to get rid of the pain." Jace answered, eyes closed, head back.

"By causing more?" Alec questioned, trying to keep his voice even.

"No." Jace's voice was tired. "By transferring it somewhere else."

"Jace." Alec's voice was terribly soft. "You've got to stop doing this."

Jace did not answer, did not even look like he heard what Alec said, that or he didn't cared. Alec sighed, pulling in to the parking lot of the hospital. He pulled out his phone calling Magnus.

"Hello." He sounded tired and Alec felt bad disturbing him.

"Hey." Alec smiled slightly despite himself, he missed him. Their schedules often prevented them from spending a lot of time together.

"I'm about to start a surgery." Magnus's voice sounded regretful. "I have to go."

"I'm sorry." Alec started, sighing. "Jace punched a wall."

"Are you coming to the hospital?"

"We're already here."

"I wish I could help." And he sounded like he did. "I can asked Clary to look at him for me, she owes me a favor."

"That'd be great." Alec could hear the relief in his own voice. He didn't want Jace to be here any longer than he had too. "Where should we go."

"One second, I need to make sure she can first." There was silence for a minute. "Alright, she's going to pick you up in the back in fifteen minutes and take you to a room, she needs to take care of a patient first."

"Thank you Magnus," Alec said into the phone.

"Anything for you, Alexander." And then he hung up.

Jace was still leaning back with his eyes closed. His hand was starting to throb. He could no longer move his fingers without feeling a lot of pain. It was not a very good sign. Alec had been right when he yelled at him earlier. He would not be able to book any gigs with a cast on his arm. And his arm was definitely broken. But he had enough money to take a break anyways and he had been debating about taking one anyways. He was tired.

"His friend Clary is coming to pick us up in the back in 15 minutes." Alec said, looking at Jace for any reaction.

He only nodded. Clary. He liked that name. It was really pretty. He wondered if she would be too. It had been a while since any girl had enamored his attention. He'd be sorely disappointed if it was some 60 year old lady. His lips turned up involuntary.

"Alright, let's go." Alec said when thirteen minutes had passed. He did not want to keep her waiting but he did not want anyone to see them either just in case they got her in trouble.

Jace climbed out of the car and followed Alec to the back, hands in his pocket. His nerves for the doctor had disappeared in the thirteen minutes they had been waiting. His hand was full on throbbing now. He needed some pain medication or something.

They reached the door and waited, leaning against the wall. Jace wished he had a cigarette. It wouldn't look as suspicious and it would help him calm down. They did not have to wait long until the door was pushed open.

They both turned around and Jace felt like he got sucker punched in the stomach. Her name paled in comparison to her. She was beautiful. Something that he had become so desensitized to. And she was most certainly not some 60 year old lady. She looked his age which was impossible, he was only 25. It took a lot longer then that to become a doctor. And she certainly held herself like a doctor.

She smiled at them, motioning for them to follow her. Jace couldn't help but smile back, even if she didn't see it.

"I'm Clary." She told him when they stepped inside. "Which one of you is Jace."

"That would be this idiot." Alec answered for him.

Clary smiled again. "Well this idiot can tell me what's wrong."

"I punched a wall." He took his hand out of his pocket, feeling more sheepish now than he did before. "I think it might be broken."

"Alright, let's have a look at it. One of the x-ray technicians owes me a favor." She started walking down the hall and towards the elevator.

Jace took her in from the back. She was wearing blue scrubs with a white coat on top. Her hair looked like fire flowing from her head in curls all the way down her back. He wanted to wrap his hands in it, make it look like his hands were burning. She stood out like a sore thumb against all the white. The white was supposed to be soothing and look clean but he could not help but wish everything was the same color as her hair. Until he remembered the green of her eyes and he was torn.

She came to a stop at the wall with the elevators and pressed the up button. It dinged and the doors opened. It was 2 in the morning and the hospital was pretty empty as far as emergency rooms go. He was grateful for that. He didn't feel like pushing any women off of him, they always came up to him.

The elevator lurched as it came to a stop on the third floor. Jace followed her out and to the left. She was walking like she could do this in her sleep, and she probably did on days when she had to pull long shifts. He couldn't be a doctor. Not with all that schooling and pressure.

"Sebastian." She said, peeking her head into a room. "I'm cashing a favor in."

A grunt came from inside and then a tall male stepped out of the room rubbing his eyes. "Clare, I just laid down."

"And you can lay down again in like ten minutes." She started walking again. "I just need you to take a few x-rays for Jace so I can fix it."

Sebastian started as he looked at Alec and Jace for the first time. "Sorry, I didn't see you guys there."

Jace nodded. Sebastian gave him a bad vibe. Nobody as good looking as Sebastian was that nice, Jace would know.

"Does this mean we're going to be even now?" Sebastian asked, attention back on Clary.

"Nope." Clary popped the p. "Barely scratching surface."

"Come on." Sebastian begged. "I don't like you having this over my head."

Clary grinned manically. "Guess you should keep you dick to yourself."

Sebastian groaned, glancing back at Alec and Jace. "Shhhh. You promised you weren't going to mention it."

"They don't even know who Kaelie is."

Sebastian clamped his hand over her mouth. "But Magnus does."

"Exactly." She threw his hand off her mouth looking disgusted. "And he already knows all about it so keep that hand that you do disgusting things with with a disgusting person off of my face."

Jace grinned, her mouth was a giant turn on.

They all stopped outside of a room, following Sebastian in. He instructed Jace to put his hand under an x-ray where he continued to poke and prod at it to get different angles. It took all of Jace's will power not to grimace or wince in pain. It hurt.

"Alright, I'm going back to bed." Sebastian walked out of the room as Clary printed out the x-rays. They were almost impossible to see in the dark but Jace could still see the abnormal angle his bones were at.

"Come on, I cleaned a room for you guys." And they followed her out and down the hall again. She walked into one and shut the door behind her. She went to the view box and placed the x-rays on the giant view box. Everything was noticeable now and Jace had to look away. His bones were cracked in several places.

Clary's eyes were flying across the x-rays taking it in. Her hands traced certain lines on his arm before she turned to him.

"I don't have any pain medication I can give you since we're not checking you in." She said looking sympathetic. "But I can give you a prescription, a cast, and you can come back every couple weeks to make sure it's healing properly.

Jace nodded, secretly excited. That meant he'd get to see her again.

"You broke your arm in three places." She pointed to different areas on the X-Ray screen. "Luckily they were all clean breaks so we don't have to re-break anything. Although, thinking about it, you might have enjoyed that."

Jace let out a surprised laugh. He kind of wished he would have met her in a different situation, one that didn't make him look like such a giant idiot.

"I'm going to go get the cast material so we can get you on your way." She left the room with another smile.

He stared after her until Alec punched him in the chest.

"What?" He growled at him, rubbing his chest.

"You think she's cute."

"So." He had no defense.

"Are you going to do something about it?" He questioned, eyebrows raised.

"Not this time." Jace signed, running his hand through his hair and down his face.

"Why not?" Alex demanded.

"I literally met her 5 minutes ago." He said, looking at Alec like he was crazy.

Alec sighed, shaking his head.

Sounds of wheels on the ground reached their ears. And than Clay was walking through the door with a little table stacked with wrapping materials.

"Okay, I'm going to have to position you arm so it heals right, this might hurt a little." She pulled a bottle of pills out of her jacket. "I had some Ibuprofen in my purse if you want some."

Jace nodded. God yes. She unscrewed the lid and shook three into the palm of his hand which he promptly dry swallowed.

She put the bottle away and started getting the stuff ready.

"Let me know when the pain lessens." She said, waiting to move his arm.

"Its lessened." He says in a few minutes, it felt loads better.

"Try to stay still." She grabbed his hand with one of hers and a sleeve with the other. She pulled it on slowly and than started wrapping his arm with padding, angling his arms so they would heal nornal. It hurt, but he didn't move. And then she was wrapping it in thicker material and adding water so it hardened. It was white, thankfully not some absurd color.

"Thanks." He said as she started placing everything back where it belonged.

"Sure." She smiled at him. "I'll give you my number and we can discuss when you should come in again." She paused. "Or you can have Magnus do it."

"No." He blurted out. "I mean, as long as you don't mind, I'd rather stick with you."

She smiled at him. His cheeks were red and he felt hot. "Okay." She wrote her number on a prescription pad, along with some directions of what to do.

"Thanks again." He said, putting the paper safely in his pocket. "I really appreciate you doing this for me."

"No problem." She smiled. "I'll walk you guys out."

They followed her, stopping at a room so she could drop off the cart.

"Try not to punch anything else, yeah?" She said as he walked by her, feeling the cool air on his face.

"No promises." He grinned over his shoulder.

"Thanks again." Alec said, stopping to shake her hand. "And he won't." He shot Jace a glare.

"You got it." She waved at the two before walking away, the door shutting, blocking her from his view.

"Don't do anything stupid." Alec said as they walked away.

"What do you mean." Jace's eyebrows furrowed in confusion.

"Like punch a wall with your other hand so you can go see her again."

"I promise I won't." Jace laughed. "I'm going back in a couple weeks, remember?"

"Two weeks is a long time."

"Not when you have her number." He patted his pocket. "And I plan on using it."

Alec laughed, shaking his head. "You have to call Jordan."

Jace groaned, pulling out his phone. He found his contact and pressed call, wishing more than ever that he hadn't punched a wall, but then the paper in his pocket flashed through his mind and he didn't mind as much.

"Hey Jordan, listen, I did something stupid," He started, a smile on his face.
