Chapter One:

Jace POV:

I've been famous all my life. Both of my parents were in a band, and made it pretty big. I've always been in the spot light; it's really the only life I know. Although that's all about to change now. A few months ago I wasn't feeling good, so I went to the doctors. Turns out I have blood cancer, can you imagine? Me? Blood cancer. I'm 23 years old, this isn't the way I thought I would die. It has been extremely hard to find someone who is a match for my bone marrow transplant. It's the one thing that could save my life and they can't find anyone.

I had just gotten back from the doctors appointment that told me they haven't found a match. I decided to take a walk in the park when I found a tree. I decided to climb it and sit there and reflect on everything that's been going on. I couldn't go anywhere without being recognized, so being up in this tree was a way of escaping the attention. I had been here for hours just taking in all the scenery and all the happy families and couples. A flash of red caught his eye and he looked down, there was a beautiful and petite red head sitting under the tree humming and drawing a picture. I watched her for a few moments before I decided to speak.

"You're really talented." I called down and I think I startled her.

"Uh, thanks. Do you often sit in trees and stare at people?" She smiled up at me and it might have been the best view of the day.

"Not really. Only when I need to think." I got out of the tree and was now standing next to her.

"Having a tough day?" She closed her sketchbook and patted a place next to her for me to sit.

"I guess you could say that. I'm Jace by the way." I stretched my hand out and she took it.

"Clary."
