Chapter 2.
Clary drifted in and out of consciousness. She was aware of something soft brushing her cheek. She wanted to wake up and see what it was but she was reluctant to come out of her dream that was her and Jace happily in love.
When she finally gave into the temptation to wake up, she opened her eyes and noticed that Jace was sitting on the bed next to her sleepy figure staring at her and brushing his finger lightly over her cheek.
"Morning sleepy" He said smiling.
"Hey Jace" she said, smiling back.
She wished he knew how much she loved him. Not just in a best friend way.
"What are you doing Jace?" she asked questioningly
"Watching you sleep. You look so peaceful. I was brushing hair out of your eyes so I could see your face better."
She smiled. These were the reasons she loved him so much. He was so sweet.
"Have I ever told you how much I love having you as a best friend Jace?" she asked, looking at him.
"Yes. But I love hearing it. I am glad I have you as a best friend too."
She laughed and so did he.
"I better get going" he said "Maryse wants me back at the Institute to do some training with Alec."
"Do you mind if I come? I kind of want to see Isabelle" Clary said back.
"Yeah that's fine. I'll go out while you get changed" He said as he brushed his finger over her face once more.
Clary stood up just as the door clicked shut behind Jace. She hadn't seen Izzy for a while and she had some things she wanted to talk to her about. She quickly changed and went out to the kitchen where Jace was waiting.
"Ready?" he asked.
"Yeah let's go" she said as she kissed her mum and Luke goodbye and headed out the door with Jace.
