Ugh, I hate school. The last chapter took me longer than normal. I don't know little writers block maybe? Enough about my boring life. On to chapter 8. (All rights go to Cassie)
Clary's POV ā
I heard talking when I woke up. I saw Jace and Alex talking. Alex looked tired but okay. ''Thank you daddy.'' While I almost choked, a few moments later Jace fell of his chair. Wow, very elegant Jace. I stood up to see if he was okay. Alex was hanging over the foot end of the bed. We both were staring.
When he finally realized we were staring he was back in reality. '''I really didn't know. By the Angel now I feel even more like an a-hole then before. Clary Iā¦I j. just..'' at the end he was stuttering. He sat back down on the chair and held his head in his hands. I shove my chair in front of his and watched Alex swing her legs over the edge of the bed. ''Jace you already punished yourself, please don't.'' he looked up when he heard me. I looked back with soft eyes (I hope). ''But Clary, I can't forgive myself for hurting you and now I feel even worse because you were pregnant.'' I sighed. This is going to be hard. Suddenly he stood up and walked away. We were both staring after him. ''Alex? Do you want to go back to your own room?'' She nodded and I carried her to her room.
When she was asleep again I walked back to my own room. I grabbed my sketchbook and walked to the balcony, sat in my comfortable chair and got lost in drawing.
Jace's POV ā
I was too shocked and needed time for myself. I walked to the training room. I walked in and wasn't really surprised to see that the room was like three times as big as the one in NY. I looked around, I saw the punching bags and let it go.
My hands were bleeding after it. I sat down and grabbed my stele. I drew an iratze. ''What did that Punching bag do to you?'' I saw Izzy standing in the door. ''Oh shut up Izzy.'' I was a little annoyed, again I didn't want to talk. She sat next to me. ''Jace I heard what happened.'' ''Am I really the only one who knew?'' she was staring at her hands. ''I'll take that as a yes.'' I stood up. ''Do you have something else to say Iz?'' she said nothing and I walked out. Not sure where to go. I was walking aimlessly in the hallways and found myself at the door of Clary's room. I knocked. ''Clary?''
Clary's POV ā
It was getting late and took everything inside. I was going to clear away my stuff when I heard a knock. ''Come in!'' I still had my hands full so I couldn't open it. When nobody came in I laid all my stuff back and walked towards the door. In my way I stumbled. There I was laying on the ground with my ankle in a pretty weird position. ''Ouch. By the Angel, worst shadowhunter of the year award goes to me.'' I looked up and saw that Jace had walked in. He squatted next to me. ''I think there are worse shadowhunters than you. Maybe you're in the top 10.'' I smiled. I missed the sarcasm. ''Thanks, I think I'll lay here on the ground for the rest of the day, just to keep that position.'' He gave a warm smile back. ''Do you want some pillows for that or do you want to lay in your bed?'' he didn't wait for an answer, picked me up bridal style and laid me on the bed. He took care of my ankle while I was watching.
When he was done he sat next to me. He was looking down with bright golden eyes and a big smile. I missed everything I thought by myself. His touch, his voice, just everything. I felt a tear roll down my cheek. He gently wiped it away and caressed my cheek. I was feeling tired and he noticed. ''I think one of the worst shadowhunters is going to fall asleep soon.'' I smiled and nodded. He was walking away. ''Jace?'' ''Yes?'' he turned around and walked back to me. I took his wrist and whispered: ''Please stay.''
Thnx for reading . Please review.
