I don't own the Mortal Instruments series.

Sorry took so long with the last chapter. Struggled to think of where to go with the story.

Last chapter, enjoy!

Jace POV

I don't know how long I've been sitting here, holding her hand, staring at her freckle covered face wishing to see those emerald eyes.

Wishing for her to wake up.

I hear a clicking noise as the door behind me opens and Alec walks into the room, his eyes tired.

'Jace, its 10 o'clock. Go to bed, you'll see her in the morning.' He says. 'You need to go to sleep, you haven't slept in 24 hours.'

I get up grumbling, dropping her hand to the covers on her bed and stumble out of the room heading down the corridor. I'm half asleep, zombie walking around. I get into my bed and lay under the covers.

###

Even though my body feels heavy, I can't sleep. What if she needs me? What if she wakes up in the night needing me to hold her?

No, she'll be fine.

I roll over in bed and see my clock says it's 1;30. I haven't slept at all, been too busy worrying about her.

About Clary.

I can't take it anymore, I have to see her. I jump up and run out of my room and race down the corridors.

I push open the doors to the infirmary to see her laying on the bed.

Clary lays there, her red flaming hair spread on the pillow. I move closer to see if she's alright.

Then I notice her wet cheeks from crying. She's had the nightmares and I wasn't there for her.

I wasn't there to hold her while she cried.

I hear a sobbing noise and look down as she begins to thrash. She has tears running down her face, staining her cheeks. Clary thrashes under the sheets, lashing out at her invisible enemy.

You're not meant to wake people while they're having a nightmare aren't you. I desperately want to do something, but I'm worried I'll frighten her even more.

'Jonathan, no. Please please leave me alone.' She sobs.

I don't care anymore.

I gather her up into my arms as she cries and thrashes. But she soon begins to stop. I look down to loose myself in those forest green eyes. Her eyes are glassy as she stares at me, like I'm not really there.

'Jace?' she whimpers, in a voice so quiet I wasn't sure I heard her.

'I'm here. I'm right here.' I said in a reassuring voice.

'It was just a dream. It wasn't real' she sobbed into my chest.

'He's not here. He's gone.'

I rocked gently as she begin to gently cry into my chest.

'It was so scary Jace. All the demons and b-blood.' She stuttered.

'It's fine. It was just all your memories coming back.'

'I'm glad I remembered you.'

I chuckled. 'So am I.'

'I love you.'

'I love you too.'

We both began to drift asleep in each other's arms as the sun rose over Manhattan.
