Let's pretend that Clary and Jace haven't gotten together yet… but Alec and Magnus have. I decided that I change it up a little bit and stray away from what C.C. has done. AND, as a cherry on top, Downworlders are allowed into the Institute. Teehee! :D
Disclaimer: I don't own The Mortal Instruments.
CLARY POV:
I sat inside the Institute in New York City and tried to concentrate on the book I was reading. My thoughts turned to Jace. Everyone had gone out to Pandemonium, that stupid club. Well, it was the club that changed my life. For the better or the worse, I'm not sure. I had a HUGE crush on Jace and I was contemplating telling him the truth.
I hear the ticking of the clock
And it was damn annoying. I turned my attention back to my book. But that damn ticking was just TICK TICK TICK TICK. Gosh…
I'm lying here, the room's pitch dark
I realised that I couldn't see the book I was attempting to read. I turned on the table lamp next to me.
I wonder where you are tonight No answer on the telephone
I was beginning to get worried. They had promised to be home an hour ago and there was no sign of them. I had called Izzy a couple of times. I had even attempted to call Alec and Magnus.
And the night goes by so very slow Oh I hope that it won't end though Alone
If they didn't come home soon, I didn't know what I would do. Go out after them? Or stay at the Institute? I hadn't had a lot of training yet and I wasn't confident in my skills. Nobody was; that always makes me feel good when I think about that.
Till now I always got by on my own
Simon was always there to catch me when I fell.
I never really cared until I met you
Now I know I can independent. Maybe I can be as independent as Izzy… but maybe not in that way.
And now it chills me to the bone How do I get you alone How do I get you alone
"I just want to tell you something!" I pretended like I was talking to Jace. "You just have to detach that girl from your arm so I can just *pulls girl off* tell you one little thing…"
You don't know how long I have wanted
to touch your lips and hold you tight
I mean it's not like I even get to be alone with you ever. Someone is always there to distract you. Either that or you're reading or going somewhere. Please just take a break for a second…
You don't know how long I have waited and I was going to tell you tonight
But you keep avoiding me.
But the secret is still my own and my love for you is still unknown
Because I don't think you like me very much.
Alone
Till now I always got by on my own
With Simon by my side.
I never really cared until I met you
Nobody made me feel special like you do.
And now it chills me to the bone
I need you to make me feel warm, even if it's just on the inside.
How do I get you alone How do I get you alone
I heard everybody walk in the door. They were laughing and going on. I jumped from my perch and almost tripped over Church the cat. I skipped down the stairs and greeted them as the made their way down the hall to the kitchen. I walked with them quietly and occasionally laughed at a joke or a funny story. It was around 1 a.m. that everyone started to part ways. Magnus pecked Alec on the cheek and he blushed a deep crimson. Magnus walked casually out of the kitchen and down the hall. I heard the door slam. Alec had shown him to the door. Izzy stretched, said a short good night, and left the kitchen as well. Jace started to get up and walk away when I grabbed his wrist. He glanced down at me, amused. "What?"
"I just have to talk to you," I muttered. He sat back down. I took a deep breath and began speaking. "I wanted to tell you that I think that-" I was cut off when Izzy poked her head around the door.
"Are you coming Jace?" He nodded.
"Night Clary," he said.
"Night," I muttered. I stood up and watched him turn the corner. I felt tears well up in my eyes.
Alone Alone
"I love you," I finally finished my sentence.
Another SongFic up! Yes! The song I used was written and sung by Heart. It's called "Alone". One of my fav songs. RnR?
Jace: Don't flatter yourself.
aeromaiden: Shut your trap!
