Author's Note: Here chapter two. I hope you guys like it! And thanks for the couple of reviews I got. I'm very excited about this story :P
Disclamer: I do not own the Mortal Instrument series or The Vampire Diaries. Also the song later on in this story belongs to Charice, it's called I Did It For You.
Jace finished his shower, he didn't know how long he was in there, but it felt like a while. He quickly changed into his black pajama pants that he grabbed earlier and slipped them on. He wondered if Clary was still in there. Quietly he opened the door.
"Clary?" But there was no response, so he opened the door wider. No, she wasn't there; there wasn't even a single trace that she had been in his room. Jace figured that she went either to her room or to Isabelle's. He collapsed on his bed with a sigh, while he stared at his plain, dull, white ceiling. His and Clary's conversation kept replaying over and over again. He just couldn't believe that Clary thought what they felt for each other was sickening. He hated this feeling inside of him, so much. He was serious about running away with her. She was the only who accepted him, who, somehow understood what he struggled with every single day of his life, she made him feel like he was whole again, and what he always felt he was missing in life had been her. He needed her, like he needed air to breathe, or how the earth needed the sun to live. Clary was the only thing that kept him going in life these days and without her, he felt like he was nothing. But thinking about their conversation made him feel even worse inside, like he was just punched in the stomach or as if someone had slapped him in the face. How could Clary think that what they had together was sickening? So what if they were siblings. He didn't care, all he knew was that he needed Clary and nothing else.
Jace didn't know how long he laid in his bed thinking, but he had to get up and move, he was restless now. Quietly he stepped into the hallway; he decided to make himself something to eat before he headed back to Magnus'. He felt a shiver go down his spine just thinking about it, he really didn't want to go back and watch the whole first season of Gillian's Island. As he headed down the hall, he could hear quiet sobs. Jace turned his head in the direction he heard it coming from. Slowly he headed towards the sound…..it was coming from Isabelle's room.
"Isabelle?" Cautiously he opened the door to see her room like always was a mess. It looked like a tornado had hit it and had torn apart her room. Clothes were flung carelessly in every direction, he couldn't understand how Isabelle could sleep in here or even walk through it.
Jace frowned as he stared at his sister's form. She was sitting on her bed cross-legged; her head tilted down as she held a white piece of paper in her hands. Her long black hair covered her face, so he couldn't see her expression, but he could hear weeping. Her hands were shaking uncontrollably as she held the paper. Jace moved slowly towards her.
"Isabelle, what's wrong?" Jace asked worriedly. Isabelle let out another cry as she let the paper drop from her hands. Slowly her head lifted up and she stared at her brother, brokenhearted. She couldn't form any words, how could she tell him that Clary had left? It would just crush him. But she had no choice, he would find out eventually. Isabelle let out one more cry, before she found her voice.
"Jace….it's Clary…." She replied quietly, watching her brother carefully. His eyebrow arched quickly, his eyes locked on hers like a hawk, waiting for her continue. She knew in her heart that he was definitely not going to take this well….at all. She let out a quiet sigh as she continued. "She left."
Jace felt his entire body got rigid as Isabelle said those cursed words. No Clary, couldn't have left, where on earth would she go? It had to be some trick that Isabelle and Clary thought of.
"Alright Izzy, that's enough. Now seriously, what's going on?" His voice was cold as stone, as he watched Isabelle eyeing him up and down, he could hear her give another sigh.
"Jace, I'm not joking….Clary…she's really gone…..she really left." Isabelle wept. She couldn't hold back her tears any longer. Silently, she handed Jace the note that Clary left for her. Jace grabbed it and scanned it pretty quickly. Jace stumbled as he let the note drop. No, she couldn't have left him….it wasn't possible. Jace could feel himself starting to get dizzy. Suddenly he looked over at Izzy as she started to speak again.
"Clary…..she left a note for you too." Isabelle whispered as she gently set another note in front of him. Jace picked up the note, on the front was his name in Clary's writing. His mind kept screaming at him, saying that this was all a trick and that she couldn't have really left. Cause where could she possibly go? But in his heart he knew that she really did leave him, he didn't know the reason why, but his heart kept telling him that Isabelle was right and that Clary really was gone. He could feel his heart and mind going at each other, his own personal battle inside of himself, but in the end all he whispered was no as he rushed out of Isabelle's room and headed straight for Clary's room. In the distance he could hear Isabelle calling his name, but he didn't stop. He kept going until finally he reached her room…..Clary's.
"Clary?" He yelled as he opened her door, hoping that she would be sitting on her bed drawing. Or maybe just waking up from her slumber…..but no….her room was almost completely empty, except for a few things. Suddenly Jace felt a gentle hand touch his shoulder, he gave a quick glance to see Isabelle. She was just as upset at this as he was, he knew because Isabelle wasn't the kind of girl who would normally cry, she was strong and independent. The only time she would cry was if something really upset her.
Isabelle felt Jace's hands tighten at his sides as he took a step away from her. She knew he didn't want her sympathy, but what could she do, he was her brother….well adopted brother that is, but it made no difference she still cared for him deeply. She watched as his dark figure walked back down the hall towards his room. Then, she heard the door slam. There was nothing she could do for him; she knew that, all she could do now was watch him suffer in silence….again.
After Jace got back to his room, he lost it, completely. By the end, his room looked just like Izzy's. He even punched the wall a few times, he stopped when the pain in his hand started to work its way up his arm. He collapsed on his bed feeling his weight sink the mattress beneath him, but he didn't even care, nothing mattered anymore now that Clary was gone. His world had just gotten darker and colder. His light was gone and she was never coming back. It wasn't fair, he needed her so badly. Quietly his hand brushed against something wrinkly, he turned over and saw the note that Clary had left him. He wasn't sure if he really wanted to open it, it was the only thing left that reminded him of Clary. But his curiosity got the better of him, so he opened it.
Dear Jace,
I'm sorry to leave without saying good-bye, but it's for the best if I didn't. Jace, I love you with all of my heart, but staying here with you is torture. We both can't live this way anymore, the way we feel for each other just isn't right. We have to move on and live without each other. I hope you find someone who can love you with all of their heart and give their love completely to you. Jace, I'm sorry for all the pain I have caused you, please forgive me. Take care Jace and please don't even try looking for me, I'll be alright. You will always have a special place in my heart, Jace.
Love Clary
The note dropped from Jace's hands. He didn't move, didn't even make a sound as he stared at the paper that had fallen to the ground. There was too much information that he had to process. This is why Clary had left him….she couldn't handle being around him, apparently their relationship wasn't just sickening, it was torture too. Then for the first time, in a long time, he did what he hadn't done since he was little….he cried. His love…..his life, was gone and she wasn't coming back anytime soon. His world had now plunged into darkness without any escape, because his only escape was gone.
Clary sat patiently as she waited for her flight to be called. On the way to the airport Clary had used her phone to look up some towns, but one town in particular seemed to interest her. It was called Fell's Church. It seemed to be a quiet town, and it was a couple of states away in Virginia. Jace wouldn't be able to follow her there. So once she got to the airport she bought her tickets, lucky for her, the flight left in only a couple of hours and not a lot people were going there so she was able to get good seat. It sadly wasn't first class, but it was better then she thought she would get.
Suddenly Clary could hear her flight being called, so she got up and handed her ticket over. Twenty minutes later Clary was sitting comfortably in her seat as she felt the plane take off. She watched as the cars, the people and buildings grew smaller and smaller as the plane reached its altitude. Clary soon pulled out her IPod and closed her eyes. She felt her heart sink as the song began to play. She definitely could relate to the song in a heartbeat.
Minutes turn to hours
Hours turn to days
Knew what I have to do
Couldn't find the words to say
We had the perfect story
Stories have an end
Had to turn the page
Cause to keep you was a sin,
oh
[Bridge]
You know I loved you with
everything that I had
But what you needed, I
couldn't be, had you bad
I cared enough about you,
to give you the chance
To find someone who
cares
[Chorus]
I broke your heart
I did it for you
Tore us apart
I did it for you
Just walked away
I did it for you
Oh, for you
You wanted more than my
everything, I did it for you
Someone you knew I
couldn't be, I did it for you
Why don't you ever
understand me
But it's true, it's true
I did it for you, for you
I could say I'm sorry, wouldn't
mean a thing
Tell you what you wanna hear
Baby, what you wanted
wasn't from me
Held you by a string, had to
cut you loose
Cause forever is something
we can't be
[Bridge]
You know I loved you with
everything that I had
But what you needed, I
couldn't be, had you bad
I cared enough about you,
to give you the chance
To find someone who
cares
[Chorus]
I broke your heart
I did it for you
Tore us apart
I did it for you
Just walked away
I did it for you
Oh, for you
You wanted more than my
everything, I did it for you
Someone you knew I
couldn't be, I did it for you
Why don't you ever
understand me
But it's true, it's true
I did it for you, for you
They say the ones that you love
Are the ones that you hurt the most
For all the pain that
I've caused you
Baby, I'm sorry
[Chorus]
I did it for you
I did it for you
Tore us apart
I'm so sorry babe
I did it for you
Just walked away
I did it for you
For You
You wanted more than my
everything, everything
I did it for you
Someone you knew I couldn't
be, I did it for you
Why don't you ever
understand me
But it's true, it's true
I did it for you
After the song had finished Clary could feel herself drifting into sleep and as the next song began to play, she had fallen asleep dreaming of the new journey she was about embark on.
