Hey guys! Okay this story is going to be very long. I've been writing it since Thanksgiving of 2012 in a 140 page notebook and i'm starting to write in a second one. Typing it has been a struggle so I'm putting up a chapter at least once a week. Let me know what you think and what I need to improve on. :)
"I've learned not to," Jace said, as he set aside his book.
Clary felt the words like a slap. "Isabelle was right. Oh my god! How could I be so stupid? You're going to breakup with me."
"I'm not going to breakup with you, Clary"
"Then what? You won't even talk to me, led alone, look at me."
"I don't know! I honestly don't. Just leave." He stood up. "Leave and I'll call you later."
Clary slowly backed up towards the door. "I shouldn't have come today. I shouldn't have been at Pandemonium Club that night. I shouldn't have met you or Isabelle or Alec."
"Clary—"
"Simon shouldn't be a vampire. I shouldn't know that I have a brother or a dad or that Luke is a werewolf. I shouldn't believe in the supernatural. And I shouldn't have fallen in love with you."
"Clary, just listen to me—"
"I wish I never met you!" She quickly ran from the room, knocking straight into Isabelle. "Crap, sorry."
Isabelle smoothed her wrinkled clothing. "I'm fine but obviously you aren't. What's up?"
"I did exactly what you told me not to do."
"Wore white after Labor Day?"
"Do you really want to be making jokes when I'm on the edge of tears?"
"Maybe."
"Isabelle!"
"I'm sorry!," Isabelle giggled. "Please, continue."
"I went to see Jace."
Her smile fade along with her laughter, Isabelle just looked at Clary. "What part of give it time don't you understand, Clary? Did I not tell you that he wasn't himself?"
"Yes."
Then why didn't you listen to me?"
Clary looked at her feet and slid down the wall. She felt tears rolling down her cheeks. "Because I thought that he would want to see me."
Isabelle rolled her eyes and sat next to her. "What happened this time?"
Clary sighed "You told me that the Silent Brothers wouldn't let me into see him. You were completely right and I should have listened." She had tears roll down the side of her face. "He asked me to leave and I just felt like my heart broke."
"He loves you, Clary," She said. "He would do anything for you and he always wants to be with you but now isn't a good time. It's not a good time for any of us."
"I think he wants to break up with me."
"No, he doesn't."
"I told him I wish I never had met him. I'm pretty sure he's going to break up with me now."
Isabelle got up and pulled Clary to her feet. "Believe me, he will never break up with you. He loves you too much but when Alec or I telling you to stay away, it's for the best."
"This isn't fair. I love him and he knows that I would do anything he asked except to stay away."
"He knows, I know, everyone knows but you need to learn to listen or else you are going to get yourself killed along with everyone else!"
Clary looked at Isabelle. "I never meant for anyone to get hurt at that battle."
"I know."
"Well, I guess I should just cut myself off from the supernatural all together. I mean, it's not like anyone would miss me-"
"SHUT UP! You don't understand what he's going through! He's scared," Isabelle blurted out.
"My Jace isn't afraid of things."
Isabelle sighed. "Well he's not the same Jace, now is he?"
Clary looked at her feet as they walked down the hall. "No he's not."
Isabelle sighed again as they walked to her bedroom. "He has been through a lot, especially for a Shadowhunter his age."
"Yeah, I know."
"You've been through a lot, too. I mean for a mundane."
"I'm not a mundane anymore, Isabelle."
Isabelle smiled. "No but you will always be one at heart."
Clary gave her a small smile and looked at her phone. 12:30 p.m. "I think I should probably go home, Mom and Luke should be home with the groceries by now and I don't want to cause anyone anymore trouble."
"No," Isabelle sad. "You can stay and have a sleepover with your girl best friend. I'll let you stay on one condition."
"I'm not allowed to go anywhere near Jace," Clary guessed.
"Bingo." The girls laughed and walked into Isabelle's room.
What do you think? Anything wrong with it? Let me know. :)
