Disclaimer: I do not own the Mortal Instruments books or the song Heart by Heart by Demi Lovato.
At the club, everyone dispersed which left me with Jace on the dance floor, not that I cared. We walked to the center of the floor and when my favorite song came on I made him dance because I knew that he never dances.
When your soul finds the soul it was waiting for
When someone walks into your heart through an open door
When your hand finds the hands it was meant to hold
Don't let go
Someone comes into your world
Suddenly your world has changed forever
No there's no one else's eyes
That could see into me
No one else's arms can lift
Lift me up so high
Your love lifts me out of time
And you know my heart by heart
Jace was starting to get into the song because he started to sing along with me.
When you're one with the one you were meant to find
Everything falls in place, all the stars align
When you're touched by the cloud that has touched your soul
Don't let go
Someone comes into your life
It's like they've been in your life forever
No there's no one else's eyes
That could see into me
No one else's arms can lift
Lift me up so high
Your loves lifts me out of time
And you know my heart by heart
Everyone else finally joined and sang along with us. Apparently our happiness was contagious because the people around us were starting to sing too.
So now we've found our way to find each other
So now I found my way, to you
No there's no one else's eyes
That could see into me
No there's no one else's eyes
That could see into me
No one else's arms can lift
Lift me up so high
Your love lifts me out of time
And you know my heart by heart
And you know my heart by heart
And you know my heart by heart
And you know my heart by heart
When the song ended I grabbed Jace and pulled him towards the bar because I was so thirsty and he looked like he needed a drink too. I asked for water while Jace asked for two shots of vodka. I gave him a surprised look and he just shrugged as if it wasn't really a big deal.
"What time is it?" I asked the bartender.
"It's 9:30," he replied.
"Wow, that's it? I thought it was like 10:45 or something later," I said turning back to Jace only to find him missing. "Jace?"
"I think he went in that direction," the bartender said pointing towards the bathrooms.
"Thank you."
I walked through the crowds towards the bathrooms passing Jordan and Maia that looked like they were fighting over something. When they saw me they looked back each other and then came running towards me.
"Hey guys! What's up? Is something wrong?" I asked confused.
"No nothing's wrong we just wanted to dance with you again because now that you're with Jace, we feel like we never get to see you anymore," Maia said exacerbated.
"Okay, but I'll be there in a second. I need to find Jace because I don't know where he went and the bartender said he went this way," I said pushing past them.
They followed me which I thought was weird but didn't say anything. When we neared the janitor's closet by the boys' bathroom, I heard moans coming from inside. I turned and opened the door to find Jace lip locked with the school slut Aline Penhallow. They didn't even stop when the door opened, they just tried to close with their feet.
"Jace?" I said with tears streaming down my face.
"What-Oh god! Clary! It's not what it looks like! I would never do this to you," he said unwrapping himself from Aline.
"Well it looks like you just did!" I yelled and turned towards the exit.
"Clary!" Jace yelled behind me.
"Clary, wait up," I heard Maia say.
I remembered the way that he and Jordan were acting and turned on her.
"You knew didn't you!? That's why you were acting so strange and wanting me not go that direction! YOU KNEW AND YOU DIDN'T TELL ME! I thought we were friends Maia," I said sobbing at this point.
She just stared at me before nodding and looked down at her feet. I turned and ran down the street to hail a cab because I knew if I walked or ran that someone would catch up to me. In the cab, I called my mom and asked her to enroll me in the school where she lived and to get me a plane ticket for tonight. When she asked what happened, I told her that I would explain to her when I got there.
At the apartment, I packed all of my clothes and sketchbooks and everything that I could fit in my luggage and carry-on. I wrote a note for everyone saying that I went to live with my mother and Luke because I just couldn't deal with living here anymore.
My mother called and told me that my flight was at 10:30 and that if I was going to make it that I needed to leave now. I hung up the phone, exited the apartment and went back to the cab that I told to wait a few minutes. As we drove towards the airport I saw our cars pull up and everyone get out, including Jace. They ran inside and that was the last I saw of them before we turned a corner.
At the airport, I hopped on my plane and sat there thinking about what I just did. I knew that it was probably rash, but I knew that if I heard Jace make excuses for what he did I would just forgive him and I didn't want to do that.
My plane took off into the night and leaving the bad memories that I don't want to remember.
