A girl and a boy we're walking down the sidewalk. The girl kept glancing down at the boys hand every now and then, wanting to grab it, but knew better. They finally reached a good sized house and stopped.
"Thanks for walking me home, Jace." the girl said with a small smile on her face.
"No problem, after all, what are friends for?" Jace shrugged.
"Right," the girl turned away before the boy could see the tears starting to form in her eyes. She started walking towards her home.
"Goodnight, Clary!" Jace yelled.
She waved but didn't turn, knowing if she looked at him the tears would spill.
She finally reached the door of her house and shut it. The house was dark, and she knew her mom, and her mom's boyfriend, must be sleeping. She collapsed against the door. Her tears finally fell and streamed down her cheeks, one chasing after another and another and so on.
Just then the lights cut on and a crowed of people popped into her vision.
"Surprise!" They yelled, trying to do it in unison but failing.
And she was surprised indeed. A look of shock shown on her tear stained face. She wiped her eyes and tried to smile but did not succeeded. A sound came from behind her. Jace, the boy she had spent her day with, walked through the front door.
"So, did we get her?" He asked curiously. The smile that plastered his face quickly faded when he saw her face. "What's wrong?" He asked his tone turning serious.
"I just-I just need a moment please." She pushed through the crowed and made her way up the stairs and to her room, slamming the door.
Why does he do this to me? She sat on the floor in front of her bed.
"Hey." The boy said in a quiet voice. She didnt hear him come in, but obviously he did. The boy sat beside her. "What's going on? I thought this party would make you happy. And after spending the day doing all of your favorite things, I was sure you were happy. What did I do wrong?"
She gave him an incredulous look. "You didn't do anything wrong, you couldn't." She leaned her head down on her knees
"Then why are you crying? Why did you run to your room? What's wrong?"
"You never do anything wrong." She mumbled.
"What?" He was giving her a confused look, she could tell just by the sound of his voice. She looked up at him then.
"You never do anything wrong, Jace, not when your with me anyway."
"What's so bad about that?" He asked looking down at her, confused expression still on his face.
"Never mind. Forget this happened. Let's just go back to the party." She was in the process of standing when he grabbed her arm forcing her to sit again.
"Clary what do you mean? You have to tell me so I can fix this." Jace pleaded.
"Jace, I-I-What do you think of me?"he seemed a little surprised that she asked him that but answered.
"You're Clary. An amazing person that creates things I could only dream of making. Someone smart. A funny girl. One of the only people that can bring a smile to my face. Clary." He said her name last, like he was defining a word he had known for a long time. He smiled at her, but she sat motionless staring at the floor in front of her.
"Clary?" He put a hand on the side of her face and turned it to face his. He looked at her eyes then her mouth and she did the same to him, then he was kissing her. She couldn't believe it. After all of this time, he was kissing her. She wrapped her arms around his neck and ran her fingers through his hair as he moved his hands to her waist to pull her closer. It was them. Just them. There. Together.
Then they broke apart. She looked at him and his eyes were dark. "Clary?" He asked again, swallowing.
"Yes, Jace?" She smiled up at him.
" I've wanted to do that for a long time." She smiled bigger and kissed him again.
