Hey Guys! I am sorry I never updated but I have more free time now and can focus on the story. Also I'm going to make it a 4 year jump and add flashbacks.. So enjoy.
I do not own The Mortal Instruments or the characters, just the plot.
Jace POV
I finally had a day off of work, so I decided to go to my favorite coffee shop and relax before I get some Christmas shopping done. Christmas is on Friday and I still haven't bought any gifts for my family, since work constantly keeps me busy. Christmas was one of the few holidays I used to look forward to, because it was the first holiday Clary and I ever spent as a couple, until I messed all of that up. Now every single day I have to deal with the fact that I lost the one person I've ever loved that wasn't just my family. It also doesn't put me in the Christmas spirit, because it's just a reminder of what I lost all those years ago.
**Flashback**
I was getting frustrated with the all the presents I was wrapping. To be honest I could care less about having my gifts being wrapped so perfect but this was my first Christmas with Clary and I wanted everything to be perfect. Letting out a sigh thinking about taking a break and just enjoy a nice relaxing evening. Just as I was about to head to the kitchen and a grab a drink I hear,
"Well it looks like you had a fight with the wrapping paper and you lost." I look back and see Clary smirking at me. Whenever I see her, I break out in the biggest smile and this time is no different.
"Oh ha ha." I reply with a smirk of my own and Clary seems to know what I am up too, because she starts to backs away. Before she can get away I manage to grab her waist and tickle her.
"Okay. Okay. Jace I give, I give!" I laugh at her and when I happen to look up I see mistletoe. I give her a light tap and tell her to look up. When Clary sees the mistletoe, she smiles and starts to lean in and I do the same. I can't help but think how I was putting too much pressure on myself to have the perfect Christmas, but all I needed was for Clary to be in my arms to have the perfect Christmas.
"I love you Jace." Clary smiled at me. She was starting to go on her tiptoes to kiss me again. Knowing she wanted a kiss, I leaned down and pecked her lips whispering,
"I love you too, more than anything." This was going to be the best way to spend Christmas.
**End of flashback**
I was getting ready to leave after being deep in thought about Clary when I see a flash of red go by the window. I thought it was just my imagination since I was just thinking about Clary, but I seen the flash of red again. When I get outside of the coffee shop I see her. She's across the street, standing in front of a window display looking at it in awe, with different colored bags in each hand. Even after all this time she was still the most gorgeous girl I've ever seen, but the last time I saw her was about four years ago, when she caught me making the biggest mistake of my life. Cheating on Clary was the biggest mistake of my life and now that she is back maybe we can get back together.
I stood there watching her look at the display, trying to gather up the courage to talk to her. When I was going to make my move towards her, I heard someone shout, "Clary!" She turned around and I saw something that made my heart break. It was a guy and Clary turned with the biggest smile ever, then they kissed. Part of me always hoped she wouldn't have moved on. I should have known that she would move on, especially after I hurt her real bad. Then I noticed something that made me realize, I won't be getting her back. The ring on her left hand, her stomach that seemed to be growing. She was married and pregnant. All I could think about how that was supposed to be us, getting married, having a big family, and growing old together. That was all gone now thanks to my mistake.
How did you guys like it? Leave reviews. I'll have the next chapter up tomorrow. Thanks!
