Clary's POV
It was 2:00am and I was still up and dying of boredom. I had restrained form texting Jace; I didn't want to seem desperate and he was probably enjoying sleep anyway. I shifted my weight again, for like the. Thousandth time. Just then my phone pinged.
J - Still awake?
C - Yeah, did I wake you?
J - No
C- Why are you up then?
J - Medication
C - Oh
J - Why are you up?
C - Can't sleep. Used to sleep with my boyfriend and the bed feels so empty with just me.
J - Wish I could help.
C - Could you come in my room and sit with me?
J - Yeah give me a minute
I don't know why I told him about my boyfriend. I'm only 17 and now he probably thinks I'm some sort of slut who sleeps with guys. He opened to door with the silent grace he walks with. He crossed the room in a few strides and placed himself down in the arm chair.
"You don't think I'm weird do you?" I blurted out.
"And why would I think that?" He questioned.
"I just told you I slept with someone. I'm only 17. Don't you find that weird?" I said astounded. Of course nothing ever went on there, I made sure of that. But this wasn't how people usually reacted.
"Well that depends, did you sleep with them or fall asleep in the same bed?" He asked.
"Fall asleep,multiple times. Every night in fact." I said
"You guys sound pretty close." He said. I couldn't see his face in the dark but his tone changed to one i didn't quite recognise.
"Yeah, but he hasn't come to see me. Not since the accident." I said,my voice full of despair and disappointment.
"Sounds like a pretty rubbish boyfriend if you ask me." He snickered from across the room.
"But nobody did." I replied harshly. Then I realised he was right. I could already feel myself tearing up. Which made me more upset; I hate crying in front of people. Before I new it he was sitting there with me, arms wrapped protectively around me. I knew I was supposed to be disgusted or embarrassed but I wasn't. It was so comforting to have someone near me.
"Try to go to sleep now Clary." Said Jace stroking my hair. I nodded, my face buried in his chest. He lay me down but I grabbed his wrist.
"Stay with me." I knew I sounded panicky but I didn't want him to go.
"Of course." Was all he said. I fell asleep in his arms and it was the best sleep I'd had in ages.
Next morning...
I woke with my arm outstretched and an empty space beside me. Had I dreamt about last night? Was it real? I picked up my phone and checked the time. There was a message from Jace, left two hours ago at 6:32am.
J - Hey Clary. Sorry for having to leave, but if my mother new she'd go all psychotic about me "taking advantage of you." Of course I'd never do something like that, and you probably wouldn't believe me anyway. I can come back around to yours later if you want.
I had to read it a couple of times to take it all in. He seemed so casual about last night, like it didn't matter. Of course, it did matter because I had a boyfriend and if he knew... well, I didn't want to find out.
What did you think? Let me know by reviewing, I love reading them. If you have any suggestions I'd love to hear them! In my last story I had a Q&A chapter so if I get any questions I'll make on for this story. Until next time!
