I own nothing.

Summary~ Clary's only wish is for Jace to look her in the eyes and tell her he loves her. But when will he?

Enjoy.

If the heart is always searching, Can you ever find a home?

Clary had been trampled on all day. She didn't know if she could bear it anymore. She just wanted to run away. Run off and be someone else. Someone new, someone everyone loves. All Clary asks for is someone to love her. Someone she can be with forever.

I've been looking for that someone, I'll never make it on my own.

"Oh, sorry." Clary said when she bumped into someone.

"No, it's fine. Don't worry, I wasn't looking." He said trying to get her to look at him.

"Are you sure? I think I should at least pay for your coffee." Clary said as she finally caught his stare. He was beautiful, in a manly way. But the way his eyes looked at her. The way his hair was a beautiful golden tone.

"I'll pay for my coffee, but you'll have to show me what you've been drawing." Jace said to his best friend. These games that they play in front of people. They were fun; it made them who they were.

"Deal." Clary said with a sharp and steady voice. She had more in her mind. She thought about their friendship, than Jace would. She fell in love with her best friend. Clary Fray had finally fallen in love with Jace Wayland.

Dreams can't take the place of loving you, There's gotta be a million reasons why it's true.

When you look me in the eyes, And tell me that you love me.

There had been many times that Jace had looked her in the eyes, and she'd always felt a spark of something, something unknown and magical. She glanced over at him, over by the counter buying his coffee. But he'd never felt the electricity. He'd never told her that he loved her, and she seriously doubted that he ever would.

Everything's alright, When you're right here by my you look me in the eyes, I catch a glimpse of heaven. I find my paradise.

Clary was fine with what she had. As long as she is with Jace, she's herself. Someone free, someone different then the roles she'd play before. All she asks of Jace, just one day.

When you look me in the eyes.

Clary never really thought to think about Aline, Jace's girlfriend. They seemed to be the happiest couple. Clary didn't mind, well she didn't show it. She acted happy, happy as can be. Even watching him from here, as he ordered his cup and waited impatiently by the counter, she felt complete. Whole.

How long will I be waiting, To be with you again.

Clary's thought about telling her feelings. Many times. She just never had the guts; she wanted to. She really, really wanted to. But she couldn't.

Gonna tell you that I love you, In the best way that I can.

She wants it to be perfect. Something he'll always remember. Something she'll remember, something sweet.

I can't take a day without you here, You're the light that makes my darkness disappear.

When you look me in the eyes, And tell me that you love 's alright,

Clary just watched Jace, trying to clear her thoughts. But it's impossible. All she thought about was him.

When you're right here by my you look me in the eyes, I catch a glimpse of heaven. I find my paradise, When you look me in the eyes.

Clary was thinking of all the signs. Is this really love? She thought to herself. Is it something I'll really want?

More and more, I start to realize, I can reach my tomorrow, I can hold my head up high, And it's all because you're by my side.

It is. It is love. Clary said under her breath. I should tell him, when he gets back. I'll tell him. I will I'll-

"What are you thinking about?" A voice interrupted her thoughts and she looked up to see Jace. She blurted it out without thinking.

"I love you." Then her brain caught up with her and she raised a hand to her mouth, horrified.

Time froze around the two teenagers, one bewildered and the other intensely scared. Then Clary shot up suddenly.

"I-I've gotta go," She muttered before running out of the coffee shop.

The door just swung shut behind her as Jace stared.

When, Clary ran up the stairs to her room. She just fell on her bed. Why me? Why did I have to be the one to fall in love with my best friend? And why him? Why? Why. Why…why, was all Clary asked herself.

When you look me in the eyes, And tell me that you love me, everything's alright.

Weeks passed without Clary and Jace seeing each other. She did everything to avoid him, didn't answer his calls and stayed far far away from Jace in the crowded halls.

When you're right here by my side, I hold you in my arms, I know that it's forever.

Jace was miserable, even fighting with Aline. They just didn't understand each other; and then of course, they broke up. Jace didn't have the energy to be sad. He was absorbed by Clary.

Walking down the deserted halls on the way to the bathroom, Clary berated herself for the thousandth time.

Stupid idiot, she told herself. Should've thought before speaking.

Jace saw her walking past his classroom, shaking her head. He made a split second decision, raising his hand.

"Yes Mr. Wayland?" asked the teacher.

"May I go to the bathroom?" His teacher let him go and he rushed out, trying to catch up to Clary.

He grabbed her arm by a deserted hall, no windows, or doors in the way.

"What-" her words died away as she saw Jace. "I've got to go Jace, please-" He ignored her and pushed her against the wall, gentle but firm. The he kissed her.

I just gotta let you know,

All of the protests in her mind and coming from her lips short-circuited as she registered the situation. His hands were pressed against the wall by her head, his body flush against hers. His lips were molded onto hers, moving softly but persuasively….

I never wanna let you go, When you look me in the eyes.

Slowly Jace pulled away, leaving Clary wanting more. But of course, she didn't show it. "Clary, I love you." Jace said, as he kissed her again. This kiss, wasn't as the first. It was sweet, but still as amazing as the first.

And tell me that you love you love me, everything's alright, When you're right here by my you look me in the eyes,

Jace felt it. He felt a spark, something he never felt with Aline. This must be it, Jace thought. He found her. His true love…

I catch a glimpse of heaven. I find my paradise, When you look me in the

"Jace, I love you too." Clary said, as she hugged him.
