A/N: Sorry I have been super busy and really couldn't think about writing. I didn't know if I wanted to continue this story but I am going to try. I am struggling with writing this one and my other one so I am sorry please enjoy this chapter.
That night I fell asleep in my true loves arms. We cried and talked for a while, but sometime during that I fell asleep. I honestly didn't know how truly exhausted I was. I woke thinking it was all a dream but when I saw the golden arms protectively laced around my waist I instantly smiled. I turned around so I could face Jace and began to leave trails of kisses up his neck and jaw slowly finding my way to his lips. He smiles and kisses me back.
"Good morning beautiful." He whispers. I giggle. "Whats so funny?" He questions.
"I thought this was a dream. And I kinda still do. I think that soon I am going to wake up and be back with Jonathan, and back to the way of life was with him." I croak. Tears escaping my eyes, damnit I hate crying. Jace strokes away each tear with his thumb and slowly kisses me reassuring me that I am safe.
"I will never let someone touch you that way again. I swear on the angel. Hell I swear on us, I will be there for you from now on. I am never leaving you, never you hear me?" he holds my face with his strong hands and I slowly nod my head.
"I don't deserve you." I say in mid laugh. I smile. We kiss for a few more hours and then we get dressed and meet the others for breakfast at Takis.
We were given a booth near the front of the diner. I had a clear view of the door. I have learned to find all the exits in plain sight when I enter a place, just for emergency reasons. I snuggle up to Jace and look at our menu. I order my usual banana pancakes with bacon and a glass of milk. I listened as my boyfriend was emerged in a conversation with his siblings. I dazed off into space when I saw Jonathan. My body goes numb, and I jump out of the booth and scream as I run out of the restaurant. Sprinting down the street not having a destination in mind just knowing I needed to get away from him. Then I hear someone calling my name but assume its Jonathan. He eventually catches up to me. I turn around last minute and clock him right in the jaw. I then collapse to the ground and have a full mental breakdown. Someone crouches down and pulls my face from my hands and I look into my favorite golden eyes. One is slightly swollen and a bruise is already blooming. Realization sets in and I realize I just punched my boyfriend. This only causing me to go into more hysteria. "J-Jace I-I am soo sorry." I stutter. Smashing my face back in my hands ashamed of what I had done.
"Clary it's alright. What happened back there?" He says calmly knowing that him raising his voice will only make things worse with me.
"I saw Jonathan, Jace. He was there in Takis!" I exclaimed. Jace just looked at me with pity filled eyes. Great he thinks I am insane. I think to myself.
"Clary, baby, he wasn't there." He grabs my hands and pulls me up. We walk back together with his arm around my shoulders shielding me away from the world. Jace always protects me, always doing what best for me. But the problem was could he shield me from myself. Because I think I need to be protected from insanity. Something happened to me when I was with Jonathan, and it changed me for forever.
A/N: Sorry this chapter was short, but if I continued it would literally go on forever. I will update soon! Please review and let me know what you think!
