Try Hard
Inspired by 5 Seconds of Summers song Try Hard. I sadly don't own 5sos or The Mortal Instruments
Jace Herondale always got what he wanted accept when it came to Clary Fray, maybe thats what made him so interested in her atleast thats what he told himself.
Clary dropped out of school to pursue her dreams of becoming an artist and since then Jace has tried many times to hold a conversation with her but he can never get her attention.
Her vibrant red hair that she started to dye in her first year of high school is one of the many things he finds attractive about her.
The one time he actually had her attention he made a complete fool of himself which is something that never happens to Jace, he believes himself to be a complete ladies man, he's never had trouble smooth talking a women into bed before, but theres just something about Clary that makes him feel like he's not good enough, she deserves to be wined and dined but he would never be able to afford anything fancy, it's things like this that make him wish he could change somehow.
He often spends his nights at home thinking about her whilst she's out partying with her friends Simon Lewis and Isabelle Lightwood, Jace has asked his cousin, Isabelle almost every time he sees her about Clary but the only thing Isabelle tells him is about Sebastian Verlac who Clary seems to be seeing. It's obvious she's out of his reach.
Jace turns into a blushing school girl everytime she's anywhere near him which makes him feel like he can never show her the real Jace Herondale.
Jace was at the tattoo and piercing shop a few months ago getting a lip piercing when she showed up and asked for a rose tattoo, although Jace has never saw it on her so he suspects she keeps it covered.
Sebastian Verlac was the drummer for a band 100 times better than Jace's shitty band, where he is the guitarist. Everytime Jace see's her around she always flashes him a smile, but she doesn't really know his name.
Jace had just gone on stage with his band the Shadowhunters when he see's her vibrant hair and big green eyes, she was dancing to his song on the front row. Jace's nerves shot up and he wasnt sure whether he was sweety from the heat in the room or nerves.
He couldn't take his eyes off her and he had the perfect view of her. This is the first time he had ever saw her at one of his shows and what surprised him even more is that she seemed to be alone.
Clary was looking right at him and she flashed him one of her breath-taking smiles, Jace realised how flabbergasted he most look and for the first time in all the years he'd been pining over her, he got his confidence back and dropped his eye into a wink.
Maybe he might just have a chance with her this time.
