Chapter 1
Jem's POF
Jem watched as Tessa tossed and turned in the bed which she had been in for the past two days. Will was nowhere to be seen, in fact, no one had seen him since Tessa had become an angel and destroyed Mortmain. Mortmain, the man who had tried to destroy all Shadowhunters, now dead. As Tessa had turned in to an angel, it was Jem who had seen the light leave her eyes as the angel's power left her. A murmur interrupts his thoughts, he turns around to see Tessa whispering Will's name as she moves her hand around to look for him, and upon not finding his hand, she cries and screams. Unable to see her in pain, Jem storms out the door to look for Will. As he headed towards Will's room, he realised he wouldn't be there, too obvious he thought. He went the opposite way and pushed the door open to find Will sitting on the bed. His eyes were glistening with tears.
"What are you doing in my room, may I ask?" said Jem rather too sharply. Then, seeing the expression on his face, calmed down a bit. "Tessa is shouting and screaming for you in that room, I came to fetch you." Will sighed.
Then, after a few seconds said. "Maybe I don't want to see her. Maybe she would be better off without me!" And with that he stormed out, leaving Jem alone in his room.
When Jem returned to Tessa's room, it was filled with people. Charlotte and a Silent Brother were beside Tessa. "What's this?" Jem demanded. The Silent Brother moved out of the way to reveal Tessa sitting up. No longer shouting and screaming to Jem's relief. He sat next to her and she put her hand out for him to hold it. He took it, not taking his eyes off of her face. Her hair was wet with sweat and her face was blotchy, but to him her face had never been more beautiful.
Tessa's POF
Tessa's heart lifted when she saw Jem walk into the room, then her heart sank again when she did not see Will. Everyday, she had felt Jem's presence in her room while she was unconscious, protecting her. She loved him for that, so she had made her decision. She would marry Jem, grow old with Jem, and live a happy life with him. She would forget about Will because he had forgotten about her.
When everyone had left the room, she decided to tell him. He had proposed the day before she had been taken by Mortmain. She had not gotten the chance to give her answer. "Yes" she said, startling Jem.
"Yes what?" He answers.
"Yes I'll marry you." She replied. He looked startled, then a smile appeared on his face, then utter joy. She leaned over to him and kissed him, smiling as she did so.
