City of Ashes

Clary visits Jocelyn at Beth Israel hospital. She is not sure Jocelyn is listening, but she tells her that she feels she has grown up because she has started to wish she could change the past, such as her kissing Jace. Clary wishes Jocelyn could give her advice and begins to weep.

She realizes Luke has been standing at the door for a while. Luke tells Clary that what happened to Simon is not her fault. When Luke asks Clary if Jace is handling all the changes well, Clary brushes Luke off. She tells him Simon, and not Jace, is her priority right now. Luke hands her a coming-out pamphlet for gay teenagers, the script of which Simon can use to tell his parents he is a vampire, and drives Clary home.

Simon is waiting up for Clary on the front steps of Luke’s house. As the teenagers go inside, Luke stays back to park the truck. Clary notices Simon is not wearing his glasses; Simon tells Clay he no longer needs glasses, as being a vampire has restored his vision. Although Simon jokes around with Clary, she can tell he is scared about the future.

Just then, they hear a crash and rush out.
