VOICES

CHAPTER 3: LET YOU GO

"Jace, there is a girl, in your bed. Not only that but a Mundane. How stupid are you?" He blathers and runs both hands through his hair.

Alec?

Yep.

"Alec, it's okay. It seems really bad but when I explain it will be fine." Jace tries to reason while I sit there awkwardly.

"It's not fine Jace! You're not allowed to bring Mundanes into the insti-"

"She's not a Mundane!" Jace bellows cutting him off. "If you would just let me explain…"

"Can you not talk about me like I'm not sitting right here?"

"Sorry, Clary." Jace says. "I know I have a lot to explain and I have theories. Clary, you're… by the Angel, I'll just say it… a Shadowhunter."

"What?"

"An angel-human hybrid that hunts demons also known as Nephilim…"

"And how do you know I am one?"

"Because of this." He says and he lifts up my wrist. My skin tingles where he touches me. A black design decorates my skin standing out against the pale. It's hauntingly familiar.

"Where have I seen this before?"

"You wouldn't remember. I have a theory about that too…"

"What is it?"

"An Iratze." He says "A healing rune. I drew it after you went unconscious."

"I mean what is your theory?"

"I'll explain later."

"How does this determine anything?" I nod to the rune.

"If you weren't a Shadowhunter it would have done…bad things…" He laughs a bit sheepishly.

"And you still did it?" I ask incredulously.

"I never said I was smart." He says defensively. "I just had to try… seeing you like that…"

Alec clears his throat. I jump.

"I'm still telling the Clave." He says with a deep frown.

"Go ahead, she's a Shadowhunter." Jace says with a challenging tone.

"One we didn't know existed." He retorts and, arms crossed, leaves the room.

I knew you existed.

"You did." I agree. "How did I not know?"

"I'm not exactly sure. Most likely one of your parents…"

"My mom!" I exclaim. "She doesn't know where I am!"

"I can walk you home if you want." He says dejectedly. It's like he doesn't want me to leave. My heart swells.

"I just need to tell her I'm okay." I say. "I can just call her."

"Your phone is dead, and we don't have one here."

"Convenient."

"Tell me about it. I'll take you home." He gets up and walks over to the dresser where my jacket is neatly folded. I didn't peg him as the neat type.

I got you into my bed and now you're leaving…I need to step up my game.

Jace!

"What?" He says innocently. "I didn't say anything." He tosses me my jacket and I slide it on while I glare at him. I then casually slide out of his bed, pulling down my dress to not show anything he would want to see.

"Well," I say standing up. "Let's go."

"Jace, why is Alec more grumpy than usual?" A raven-haired girl leans on the door-frame. She nods almost approvingly and understanding. "Now I get it."

Izzy?

Yep.

"I was just about to walk Clary home, Iz."

"Ah, the walk of shame…" She teases. He pulls on his leather jacket.

"I wish." He grumbles and he brushes past her.

"Ouch." She says to me and turns to leave.

"Jace, wait up!" I call after him. I weave through the halls behind him. He doesn't slow down. "What is your problem?"

"You are my problem!" He exclaims turning and running his hands through his shining hair. "Both Izzy and Alec assumed…I wished it was true."

"Jace, listen to me.

"No, Clary, you listen to me." He says and in an instant he is next to me one arm around my waist and another on my cheek. "I have wanted to know you, like this," He squeezes me slightly. "For so long. Now that I have, I can't let you go. You are the only person that has always been there for me and I need you. I want you." He says anguish in his amber eyes. "I want this."

Don't you want it too?

So bad.

With that he pulls me in for the most mind-blowing, firework inducing, melt your entire body kiss. It's like seeing the sun for the first time. Without realizing fully what I'm doing I wrap my arms around his neck and weave my fingers through his hair. His muscled arms trail down my waist and around, holding me firmly to him in the most intimate of places. We move as one desperately. Our whole lives we've gone without… How? How did we survive?

Soon we part, panting, holding onto each other like our lives depend on it. A little dazed we stare at each other. Did we really just do that?

I think so…

Want to do it again?

Fuck yeah.

With that he dips his head down caressing my cheek once again and presses his lips against mine.

Thank you so much for reading! I love you all! Sorry, no more surprise chapters before I leave (at least I don't think ;)). I will post again after I get back. XOXO
