Hi guys, about my story The Mask Behind The Illusion, I will update but not for a while. I'm trying to improve my writing skills and until I feel they are good enough to do a multi chapter story, I will do oneshots. I'm sorry but I knew I couldn't just abandon the story or leave you guys high and dry without an explanation. Once again, I'm sooo sorry!! As for this oneshot, I would appreciate reviews if you're not too mad at me for putting TMBTI on hiatus. It's very short but as my writing improves, I will work my way up to longer stories. Enjoy and thank you for being so loyal!!! If you want more info as to my reasoning for putting my story on hiatus feel free to email me at
She was his every wish embodied into a person.
Jace thought as he watched her from the window of her bedroom. He had tried for months to drop hints of his affection for her, show her just how deep his feelings ran for her, but she never seemed to understand. All he received for his efforts were a smile or a light touch. That slight rise in the corners of her mouth was all it took to take his breath away, to increase his love for her. It was the little things she did that drove him crazy. How she would tilt her head when she was confused or throw her head back when she laughed; even when she tripped when she was lost in her thoughts. In his eyes, everything she did was adorable and his love grew for her every second.
But she never noticed.
She had no idea how he felt about her and there was nothing he could do about it. She would be forever out of his reach, close enough to touch but too far away to take for himself. He watched her sleep from her bedroom window, a necessity for him to sleep himself. Her skin glowed as if a light shined just beneath the surface; her eyelashes cast shadows that could be seen despite the distance between them. Her lips puckered as though in anticipation of a lovers' kiss. He knew without a doubt that he loved her.
But he also knew that he could never have her.
Her name was Clarissa Lightwood, her husband, Alec Lightwood, was Jace's brother. He was in love with a woman that has been married for five years. A tear fell down his cheek as he watched Alec walk in and wrap his arms around her. Jace knew he would spend the rest of his life wishing he was in Alec's place, dreaming about being the one to obtain her love as Alec had five years ago.
Because in reality, it will never happen.
