This is my first songfic so if it sucks that's why. I don't think it sucks though…I hope it doesn't. This idea has just been running around in my head and I just had to go with it, bad things would happen if I didn't. Yes, I need to update my other Clary and Jace fanfic but I had to do this first. Even if you don't like it review—tell me why, tell me what I could do better.
DISCLAIMER: If I was Cassandra Clare I would've ended City of Fallen Angels differently. I'm also a girl so I didn't write or sing Two Out of Three Ain't Bad by Meat Loaf.
Baby we can talk all night
But that ain't getting us nowhere
I told you everything I possibly can
There's nothing left inside of here
Jace hadn't really felt something—a real emotion—in over ten years. His heart died the day Clary left him. For the first year he was like a walking mummy, it was only because of the Lightwoods that he bothered to eat. Without him he would have been dead by now. After a year he became fed up with the gut wrenching sorrow that shot through his body whenever anyone was happy. He started hunting again, he slept with random girls. Anything that could take his mind off of her.
So when Kaelie wanted something more, he pushed away. Now she was crying, he felt bad for her but there wasn't anything she could do that would change his mind. It was just too hard. And maybe you can cry all night
But that'll never change the way that I feel
The snow is really piling up outside
I wish you wouldn't make me leave here
This night reminded Jace just how Clary left him. They both cried, but in the end, she left. Even after everything he did…. I poured it on and I poured it out
I tried to show you just how much I care
I'm tired of words and I'm too hoarse to shout
But you've been cold to me so long
I'm crying icicles instead of tears
Jace hadn't cried in years and he wasn't about to let Kaelie leaving get to him. He was stronger then that. He would never let himself be close to anyone ever again, because no matter what somebody says…in the end they are all the same. They all leave.
And all I can do is keep on telling you
I want you, I need you
But there ain't no way I'm ever gonna love you
Now don't be sad
'Cause two out of three ain't bad
Now don't be sad
'Cause two out of three ain't bad
He wanted to want her, he wanted to need her, and he wanted to love her, really love her…but it wouldn't happen. He'd never love again. You'll never find your gold on a sandy beach
You'll never drill for oil on a city street
I know you're looking for a ruby in a mountain of rocks
But there ain't no Coup de Ville hiding at the bottom
of a Cracker Jack box
Jace knew that life wasn't like what it was made out to be. People cried and got hurt all too often. You can't choose how things work out and no matter how hard you push some things won't budge. I can't lie, I can't tell you that I'm something I'm not
No matter how I try
I'll never be able to give you something
Something that I just haven't got
He didn't enjoy sleeping with women and leaving them the next day…but the heart that they all wanted wasn't his to give away. Clary had taken it all those years ago and no matter what he did he just wasn't going to get it back that easily. There's only one girl that I will ever love
And that was so many years ago
And though I know I'll never get her out of my heart
She never loved me back, I know
He missed the times when he thought Clary had loved him…as soon as she found out they were related, she began to hate him. She pulled away and wouldn't let him get near her. A sure sign he had done something terribly wrong, but no matter what he did he could never change the way she felt. Once Clary decides something nothing can stop her and it was evident that she decided she didn't love him. I remember how she left me on a stormy night
How she kissed me and got out of our bed
And though I pleaded and I begged her not to walk out that door
She packed her bags and turned right away
She gave me a hug, a kiss on the cheek, she whispered goodbye, and she left the institute. Jace hadn't seen her since then…even though he was always looking for her. And she kept on telling me
She kept on telling me
She kept on telling me
She tried to tell him to leave, or to let her leave, "for their own good." She didn't get that Jace would never be anywhere near good without her, she didn't realize she was Jace's world. I want you, I need you
But there ain't no way I'm ever gonna love you
Now don't be sad
'Cause two out of three ain't bad
Jace had had his fair share of women but none meant anything to him, they were just girls who were used and then thrown out. He didn't love them, half the time he couldn't even remember their name. All except Clary, the moment he saw her, his heart belonged fully to her. The moment he found out they were related his world fell apart. I want you, I need you
But there ain't no way I'm ever gonna love you
Now don't be sad
'Cause two out of three ain't bad
He hadn't gotten over Clary, he never would. He would continue using these women as outlets, he wouldn't care. It was just too hard.
Kaelie was just another one of them, she was the one that he tried for. He fall for her but no matter what she could possibly do she could never be Clary. None of them would ever be Clary.
Baby we can talk all night
But that ain't getting us nowhere
So I was thinking about making another chapter with a…happier ending, but I'm not too sure. PLEASE review and tell me what you think. Should I do another chapter? Yes? No?
