[ROOF]

[Continuing from where we left off: Jace is running on a roof. He stops to look over the edge and grunts. Then Clary appears behind him.]

"If I hurt you..." said Jace sadly.

CLARY: Jace!

[Jace clocks her, and then attacks. Jace disarms her of her blades. Then, he pulls her up by her throat.]

Everyone gasps.

Jace grabs Clary's hand.

CLARY: [choking] Jace, this isn't you.

[Jace takes Clary's stele from her hand and throws it on the roof, while holding Clary over the edge of the building.]

"Oh no" said Tonks.

CLARY: Jace, I know you're still in there. I know you won't kill me. Jace... I love you.

Jace closes his eyes.

[For a moment, it appears as if Jace has heard her. He pulls Clary closer to him.]

Everyone looked relived.

JACE: I don't love you. Not anymore.

Clary wipes a tear away.

[Jace holds her out, and then drops her. Clary falls, and falls onto a car that's parked in an alley, crashing the window and leaving a big dent in the roof. Then Clary passes out.]

"Oh my god  Clary I am so - " started Jace.

"How many times do we have to tell you" said Clary "None of this is your fault"

"I'm problematic?" said Simon.

"Well you almost killed a few guys" said Alec dryly "So I suppose so"

SIMON: So I'm problematic?

KYLE: When you haven't had your blood in the morning.

Everyone laughed.

SIMON: You know I have this unpredictable mark of destruction on my head, right? You should watch yourself.

"I don't think you have the guts to attack him" laughed Jace.

"I do" defended Simon.

"No you don't" giggled Clary.

"I am offended Fray" teased Simon.

[There's a knock on the door. Simon gets up.]

KYLE: Really? Another blood delivery?

SIMON: Okay, no judgments. I stress eat. Besides, the blood's free when you're dating the bartender.

"I am gonna meet him" said Maia alarmed.

[Simon opens the door. It's Maia.]

MAIA: Hey. Are you okay? What happened? Where did you end up taking Hei–
