"I thought you were hurt. Hodge was wondering where you were. He said you just disappeared," Jace whispers, holding you close against his chest. Your relationship with Jace is... complicated. It's not exactly friendship, not exactly romantic either. And recently, that had started to bother you. Because of it, you had kind of run away...

You were definitely head over heels for him. But if he didn't feel the same, would it kill your friendship? You dropped subtle hints. Maybe a few flirty words there, a bit of teasing about how he doesn't have a girlfriend here. It wasn't really working.

"What's wrong? You're acting so weird lately," Jace frowns. So he's noticed. Kind of. You had to admit that he did seem to like you a lot. He could have a crush, but he could also just be extremely friendly. Whatever it was, Alec despised you for it and Clary gave you an odd look every time you walked by with Jace. You were aware of her crush on Jace, but it hardly bothered you.
