Chapter Four:
Time Jump-Three Months
Clary POV:
Things were getting better. The cravings for heroin were slowly decreasing and I was getting my strength back. Ordinary tasks that used to be too much for me to handle were getting back to being ordinary. Hopefully everything would be normal again, and hopefully the nightmares would stop soon. I woke up from them often and each time Jace had to console me until I stopped panicking.
"Hey Biscuit. How are you feeling today?" Magnus was here for his weekly visit.
"I'm doing a lot better." I sat up in bed and patted an area for him to sit.
"That's great. Everything seems normal for you physically. How are you mentally?"
"Not that great. I'm still having nightmares. I can't remember the last time I had a decent nights sleep. Jace helps, but my dreams are so consuming sometimes I think I'm back in the chamber."
"Well, if you want me to keep checking on you every week, I will. But from my stand point, you physically look pretty good."
"I hope you aren't trying to steal her away from me." Jace says as he enters the room.
"Don't be silly, as pretty as my sweet Biscuit is, my heart belongs to Alec." Magnus kissed the top of my head and left the room.
"How are you feeling?" He asked as he made his way over to my bed and took his place by myside.
"Eh. Physically I'm fine. Mentally, I'm being destroyed." I laughed but I knew there was no humor to it. "I'm sorry I keep you up so often with my nightmares. I feel so bad."
"Don't worry about me. I would willing give up sleep to help you through the night. I hate seeing you suffer like that. It kills me."
"I just want it so bad Jace. I was getting so addicted it was horrible. I didn't want him to see it so I surpressed it as much as I could. But I craved it. Like the way I crave you. I needed it to survive. I needed it to keep sane."
"We can get through this Clary. I know we can. I know it's hard but everything will be okay." He leaned over and kissed me. When he kissed me it made the cravings go away. I smiled in the middle of the kiss and he backed away. "What is is?"
"When you kiss me the craving stops. It's weird but it almost cancels it out."
"Well then, when ever you are having a really bad craving, just kiss me. I have no objections." He smirked and I grabbed the back of his neck and smashed our lips together. Jace was my own personal drug all in itself but when we kissed it seemed like the problems of the world just disappear. It's just me and him and we're a normal couple. The world is perfect with Jace and me together.
