Jace-

Jace had gone to the first warlock who would talk to him, took him longer then had had hoped. Magnus must have warned a lot of them away from him. But he finally found one that would take his money. The warlock agreed to do a tracking spell, but it cost him a lot. The spell was fairly easy but pissing off Magnus was not something this warlock wanted. So after the encounter the warlock would disappear from Jace's mind and he would never remember the name or face of the warlock that helped him. Jace didn't care, he just wanted a location. The warlock was able to find a city, not an exact location, the sock was old and it was harder to track her with. Jace was okay with that, it would be much easier to try and locate her in a city verse the whole world.

It had been about three weeks since the warlock had helped him and he was narrowing down his search. He was now checking out colleges that offered great art programs knowing that was something Clary loved to do. He was getting a little frustrated, some days he wouldn't even get out of bed. He was trying to block out what Clary had done to him. She just left him; she was selfish in her wanting to leave without even a second thought to him. But some days all he could do was ache for her, knowing she did what she thought she had to do to get over what her evil brother did. Today was one of the better days as he walked down the street close to where one of the colleges was. He was passing by one of those coffee shops Clary liked when he decided to stop inside, maybe she would be there. He walked inside and was instantly hit with memories of Clary and himself walking inside and her giggling as she got her caffeine fix. He shook his head before walking up to the counter to order, he didn't like coffee much so he decided to order Clary's favorite.

Simon-

Simon was sitting on a bench at the park with Isabelle; he was staring down at his phone looking at the text Clary had sent him a couple of hours ago. He didn't know how to respond, he was trying to keep his distance and slowly step away from her. It was for the best, Clary would question why he wasn't aging someday and it was just best to pull away now. Doesn't mean it didn't hurt thought, he thought bitterly as he deleted the text and then pulled up his contacts scrolling until he found Luke's name. He hit send and put the phone to his ear. After a couple of rings Luke answered the phone.

"Hello." He heard the gruff voice of his friend.

"Hey, it's Simon. I was just calling to tell you Clary left me a text threating to take a bus to New York if I didn't call her soon." He said to the werewolf with a frown on his face. His best friend broke his heart every day and he missed her. He was a little envious that Luke was the only one that got to stay in her life.

"I'll talk to her when she gets out of school later, I don't think she would really do that. She's very busy in school right now but I'll try and nip it in the bud now okay." He said in a soft voice before branching off into a different topic.

"Have you guys seen Jace since he ran off a while back?" The older man asked and Simon sighed deeply, he had no idea where Jace was, no one did.

"No we haven't seen him, make sure you keep an eye out for him." The vampire said while his girlfriend threw some bread to the ducks with a cute little smile on her bright red lips, she turned to look at Simon and he could see the worry in her eyes. She was very worried about Jace.

"Will do."

Clary-

Clary was walking down the sidewalk; she had just finished up one of classes and had a little more than an hour to kill before her next class. If felt pointless to head home only to turn around a few minutes later, so she decided to stop at her favorite coffee shop and wait. While she was walking she pulled her phone out of her back pocket, she frowned when she saw she had no new text. She signed before tucking her phone back into her pocket. It had been roughly two months since she moved to Boston and she had only talked to Simon once since then. It was like he was avoiding her for some reason, and it was killing her. For some reason she couldn't seem to connect to anyone in her classes, and she was feeling very lonely. Before her last class had started she had sent Simon a text pleading with him to call her, unless he wanted her to hop on a bus and track him down in New York, she was hoping that threat would work. She reached Star Bucks and opened the door, her frown turning into a small smile, she loved the smell of coffee it always brightened her mood. She approached the counter and took a minute to look at the board, pretending like she was going to order something different then she usually did. Finally she got into line behind a blond and waited for him to place his order. She snorted to herself when he ordered the same thing she was going to order. He turned around at her laugh and her heart starting beating hard in her chest, he was so handsome. Something like a memory flashed in her eyes before being pulled away and she couldn't seem to recall it again. His eyes stared at her widely before finally opening his mouth.

"What's so funny?" He asked, his voice sounded just like she thought it would. Sexy and dark, she couldn't help the chill that ran up her spin.

"I was going to order the same thing; I thought it was a little funny." She said after a moment, the boy smirked before turning back to the barista and ordering a second coffee.

"Hey you don't have to do that." Clary said softly and the boy shook his head and laughed a little.

"Why wouldn't I take the chance to buy a pretty girl a coffee?" Clary felt a blush rise to her cheeks and couldn't help the smile that tugged at her lips.

"Well thanks, mystery boy." Clary said as the blond boy paid for their drinks. Then they both walked over to the next counter to wait for their drinks.

"So what was your name again?" Clary asked as she looked up and down his body. He looked dark and mysterious with black jeans, a gray t-shirt and a leather jacket. Clary never had a boyfriend before so she didn't think she had a 'type' but the boy was doing something special to her insides and she couldn't help taking in all in.

"I never said my name." He said back smartly still not giving his name up, Clary let out a low chuckle before rotating her heavy shoulder bag to her opposite shoulder.

"Well, I am Clary in case you were wondering." She said just as a barista came out and place the two coffees on the table.

"Jace?" He called out and the blond boy nodded before taking both cups in his hand and smirking at her.

"We'll now you know my name." He said with a smirk before walking away with both coffees, Clary watched her coffee helplessly as the boy now known as Jace walked over to a couch and sat down with it. He looked up at her before pointing to the seat next to him.

"Join me?" He asked and Clary stood there for a moment, pondering if this is something she should be doing flirting with random strangers at Star Buck? She deiced why the hell not since she never did things like that, and she was in college for Christ sakes and never had a boyfriend let alone had sex. So might as well be wild and flirt with this handsome boy. She finally walked over to the couch and sat next to him, not to close though she didn't want to give him to wrong idea. Once she was sitting he handed her, her coffee and she took it gratefully before taking a large sip and smiling. He laughed at her and she shot him a little glare.

"Hey coffee equals life, if you don't believe that then I should confiscate the drink from you." She said gesturing wildly at his coffee. He held up one hand in surrender still laughing at her. She childishly stuck her tongue out at him before laugh along with him. Her heart swelled with happiness and something she felt like she had been missing clicked into place as she flirted and talked with someone she had just met. But in the back of her mind she couldn't help but feel like she had met Jace before.

AN: HELLO, sorry it's been so long I suck I know! It warms my heart for Clary to have a little silly interaction with Jace. I am sorry he found her so quickly but don't worry there will be TONS of drama but LOTS of fluff as well. This will not be as DARK as the first story, but it might have some sad moments.
