DISCLAIMER: I DON'T OWN ANY CHARACTERS (JACE, CLARY, ISABELLE, ETC.) CASSANDRA CLARE OWNS ALL OF THEM.
However, I have changed the plot and put in a few of my own characters.
Enjoy and review!
Clary POV
I woke up and rolled over to look at the time. It was 10 in the morning; my mother and Luke had obviously let me sleep in, and were no doubt out doing something. I checked my phone for any messages or calls, but there were none. Strange, I thought, Jace usually texts me in the morning when he wakes up. I shrug off the thought and decide to go to the Institute.
After showering and getting dressed, I began walking to the Institute. I was wearing dark jeans, combat boots, a dark green tank top, and a leather jacket. Smiling, I opened the large doors of the Institute. I breathed in the familiar scent of home. Since my training began, I practically lived here.
"Hello?" I called out.
With no answer, I assumed Isabelle had gone shopping, and Alec was with Magnus. I jogged to the elevator, quietly as possible, in hopes of surprising Jace. Stepping out of the elevator, I tip toed to Jace's room at the end of the hallway. I stopped in front of the door, noticing it was slightly ajar. Peeking my head around the corner, I hear Jace's voice echo in the room.
"I don't have a girlfriend, baby. Now come here, I want to kiss you." Jace said in a pleading, almost desperate voice.
I step back in horror, tears already running down my face. Without being noticed, I run to the guest room. I stayed there while my mom was missing, and there were still some of my things in the dresser. Quickly and quietly, I grabbed a bag and a few clothes. I write a note to Jace, knowing he will eventually notice my absence. Heading for the library, all I think about is how could he? I thought he loved me, and cared for me. I stare at the portal. All I want to do is get away from here. Get away from him. I always new he was too good for it.
I begin to step through the portal, imagining the sun on my skin and warmth surrounding me. Opening my eyes, I am standing in front of a large Institute. I look around, taking in the ocean breeze and the palm trees. Slowly, I knock on the door, thinking whoever answers will probably think I'm an idiot for running away from my home because of a boy.
A blonde hair, blue eyed, and tanned skin girl opens the door. She is around my age, I think. I look at her with red, puffy eyes and begin crying again. She shuffles me inside, and sits me in a chair.
I sniffle, and look up at her. "Hi, my name is Clary, and I need a place to stay." I say at a barely audible volume.
"I'm Rose," she says, " and you have a room here as long as you like Clary".
"Thank you." I say, with small smile.
Rose leads me to a spare room, and I begin to unpack the few items I brought. The room is fairly large, and bright. It reminds me of a beach resort. Suddenly, I remember that I don't even know where I am. I turn to her slowly.
"So, weird question, but where am I?"
Rose laughs and smiles at me. "Welcome to Miami, Florida, Clary."
Jace POV
Although I was enjoying Kara being on top of me, I notice the Institute shake, which means someone just went through the portal. Impossible, I thought, no one else is here. I storm out of the room to the library. Looking around, I don't notice anyone. I search Isabelle and Alec's room, thinking they may have used a portal to get home, but I found nothing. Lastly I check the spare room, where Clary used to stay.
Walking in, I find the dresser drawers open and empty. What is going on? I search the room and find a framed picture of Clary and I. I smile at the memory, and realize the letter underneath the picture.
Jace,
I saw you with the blonde girl, but it's okay. I always knew you were too good for me. Don't try to find me, because I am not even sure where I will end up. I love you, Jace. I am angry you did this to me, but I forgive you. I love you too much to hold a grudge. I hope you are happy Jace, because that is all I want for you, to be happy. I am not sure if I will even return to New York. Goodbye Jace. I love you.
Clary
I hadn't noticed I was crying until I finished reading. What had I done? I love Clary. She is the only one that I could ever love. She is my world. How could I do this to her? My angel, she is gone. I had to find her and apologize.
I pulled out my phone and called Isabelle. I run back to my room, and of course Kara is still there.
"Kara get out." I yelled. Her face was shocked, but she did what I said. She ran out of the room with tears rolling down her cheeks. I couldn't care less at this point.
"Hello?" Isabelle said cheerily.
"Iz, Clary is gone. I screwed up, Iz. I cheated, but I made a mistake. I need her back. Call Magnus and get over here now." I heard her begin to yell, but I hung up before she could begin chewing me out.
Standing in front of the Institute doors, I paced back and forth. They need to hurry up! I thought. I was such an idiot. Why did I have to go and screw up what I had with Clary? I love her. I cant live without her; I need her in my life. My world will be awful without her. I was so angry and frustrated with myself that I didn't notice everyone arrive. Isabelle looked at me with evil eyes.
"Iz, I know you are mad, but please help me get her back" I looked at her with sad eyes. Her eyes softened, and she nodded. We walked into the library, ready for a long night.
