A/N: I was requested to do a chapter from Jace's POV by RilylovesClace (SHOUTOUT) xD but anyway I've decided to give it a go. Hope you enjoy getting inside Jace's head. ;)
I watched Clary as she left my room. Closing the door, I leaned against it and slid to the ground, holding my head in my hands. For the first time in almost 10 years, I cried. Since I was alone, I didn't hold the tears back. I thought about Clary. How she tucked her hair behind her ear when she drew. The way she chewed on the end of her pencil or pen when she was thinking. How she saw everything in this world from a different perspective. I wiped my face and walked over to the desk next to my bed. In the drawer, under all of my notes from school and stuff, I pulled out a small envelope. Clary had given it to me a few weeks ago.
Flashback
"Jace!" A familiar voice called from down the stairs. I smiled. Hearing her voice always gave me this warm and fuzzy feeling, but I couldn't let her know that. It would ruin everything. "Jace, where are you?" Clary called again.
"In my room!" I replied putting my my knife down. I had always had a knack for weapons. I heard a soft knock on my door before it opened slowly. A red-brown head popped into my room.
"Hey." She said walking over to join my on my bed. She hopped up and sat cross-legged facing me. I noticed that she had both hands behind her back.
"Hey, what do you have there?" I replied trying to get a better look. She blushed a light shade of red. An envelope appered from behind her. Slowly, she handed it to me.
"You can't open it yet. I don't know if you're ready yet. Open it when you feel like you wouldn't want to live without me as your little sister." She said the last part especially quiet. I already knew I didn't want to live without her, but my feelings for her were stronger than a brother for his sister. I smiled.
"Thank you." I said giving her a quick hug. I slid off the bed and placed the envelope gently in my drawer.
End of Flashback
I broke the seal and took a breath. I had no idea what was inside it. I pulled out the several pieces of paper. I inhaled sharply when I saw what they were. They were drawings. They were drawings of me. One of me cooking eggs for breakfast in my pajamas. One of me playing Flappy Bird on my phone. One of me and Clary sleeping in the backseat. I had seen the picture Jocelyn had taken of us on the way back from dinner. It was late and Clary had fallen asleep on my shoulder. I didn't dare wake her because I knew how grumpy she could be in the mornings, so, I layed my head on hers and let her steady breathing lull me to sleep. I smiled. In the bottom of the package I wound a small charm. It was in the shape of a beautiful knife. There was a small rolled up piece of paper attached to it. I unrolled it and read the small handwriting.
Hope you like the charm. I saw it at the mall and thought of you. I don't really know what you will use it for though. Knowing you, you'll figure something out.
Love you bro, Clary
I knew exactly what to do with it. I went to my work bench and grabbed a metal drill. I drilled a small hole into the hilt of the knife charm. I slipped a thin metal chain through the hole and pulled it over my head. I settled comfortably around my neck. I smiled. Even though I could never have Clary, I would always have a piece of her around next to my heart (literally).
