Edit: 5/25/16 Hello lovelies! Man, I wrote this so long ago! (read: my Sophomore year of high school. Ugh.) However, I still think it's super cute and very fitting. Also, I've edited it a little. Enjoy (again)!

A/N So, this is just something I wrote in Lit on Valentine's Day, it wasn't a fanfic at first...but well, I decided it would make a cute MI fic.

Consider me gone. ~C. Clary turned, heart breaking as she laid her cryptic note where Jace would be sure to see it. She was walking away from the love of her life, but she knew she had to do it.

Jace spent less and less time with her as the days and months passed. He was always busy. Clary wouldn't be trapped by that, so she had to go.

It wasn't the rain that was bothering Jace. No, he could handle that. His fist clenched around the note he'd found lying on the counter.

Clary. His tears finally spilled over. She was gone. Really and truly gone. Jace had been everywhere trying to find her. No one knew where she was, or they wouldn't say if they did.

Walking through the house, Jace flipped light switches until the yard was lit up like noon. He finally picked up the phone and dialed Clary's mother.

"Hello?"

"Mrs. Garroway, this is Jace."

"What do you want?"

"Just… If you see Clary, tell her I'll leave a light on. In case she ever wants…to come home."

"Maybe." Jace knew that was all he'd get from her.

"Thank you."

Hanging up, Jace placed his head in his hands. Clary.

Clary slowed the car to a stop. She stared at the house. Every single light in the house was on. Jace had even hung up Christmas lights and turned them on.

Slowly, she walked up to the house. She found Jace sitting, head in hands, on the couch.

"Jace?" Clary asked softly. His head snapped up.

"Clary!" he cried. Next thing she knew, she was in his arms.

"You are the one thing I cannot lose," she heard Jace whisper. "I love you."

A/N So what did y'all think? Any good? Anyway bonus points if you can tell me which country songs I threw in there. Tell me in a review. I'll give you a hint, there's three, all by different artists. Anyway, tell me whatcha think!

Edit: 5/25/16: So I didn't change much, just the wording a couple places that was bothering me. I'd love to hear from you, so drop me a review, or heck, PM me if you wanna chat!
