Clary P.O.V.
Jace broke up with me almost 2 years ago. He's moved to Los Angeles and is engaged to Emma Carstairs. Mind I had to eavesdrop on Isabelle and Alec to figure it out. So now I am on the roof of the New York Institute, sulking. This Carstairs girl is the luckiest girl alive and I would kill to be in her position. And I know that I should have moved on but it is harder than it sounds. Especially with what we have been through. I hear the door open and assume it is Isabelle telling me to over Jace. But when it doesn't come I assume it is Simon. "Simon go away!" I yell without turning around. "I would if I was Simon. But as I am not can I join you?" I turn around and see Alec. "Yeah sure." "You okay?" He asks me. "Not really. You?" "Just realized something. Still hung up on Jace?" "Yeah. But how did you know?" "Not that hard to figure out." "I know what you are going to say." I reply, turning away from him. "What's that?" "That I need to get over Jace." "Actually, I was going to say the exact opposite." "You were?" "Yep. I was going to say that you want to forgive Jace but it's hard because of what he did." I turn away from him again and think about this. "You are right." "I knew I was. And you don't want to rush forgiveness. Take all the time you need." "Thanks Alec. What did you realize?" "That I… I love you Clary." I at him yet again. His deep blue eyes are full of pure love. By the Angel how did I not notice this? Then it hits me, I love him back, always have. Jace's eyes always had a fire at the back of them. Alec's are full of pure love. "Clary. Say something." "I…. think that I love you too Alec." He kisses me. Gentle yet passionate. Nothing like Jace's passionate, fierce, hungry ones. I kiss him back. I hear the roof door open but decide to ignore it. I hear a gasp that belongs to Isabelle and that is when I pull away. "That was the most peculiar thing I have ever seen!" Izzy shouts. "Hush Izzy." Alec says and kisses me again. I just now gave up on Jace. Alec pulls away. "Clary?" "Yes?" I can feel Izzy's stare. "Will you be my girlfriend?" "Absolutely."
