This is Maia's. It's going to be hard, since I don't really know what she thinks throughout the series...
From the moment she saw him, slumped against Freaky Pete's office door, she knew that he was her missing half.
That he was the One.
From the moment she saw Clary, wary and ironic, she knew that he loved her.
That she was his Half.
She couldn't hate Clary, even if her boyfriend was the boy that she wanted so badly.
She knew Clary didn't love him back.
She didn't understand why, at first. Why take something so special and not even appreciate it?
But then she met Jace.
She saw how the redhead looked at him, and she knew why she couldn't love him back.
When he dumped Clary, she was delighted, thinking there was hope for them.
But then she saw how he looked at the Shadowhunter girl.
The One with no heart.
She loved him.
Even if he didn't know, or want, to believe it.
She could wait.
Sooner or later, he'd realize that she was his Half.
And that she'd make him feel Whole like he did to her.
Because that's what you do to the person you love.
I wouldn't really call this story 'Sad' or 'Depressing'.
Review anyway.
BTW, should I or should I not do one for Max?
