I was in bed. His arms were wrapped around me. I laid in the dark just feeling him breathe next to me. Things were as they should be. Things were as normal as they had ever been. I had the weirdest feeling that i had just woken from a bizarre dream. But the harder i tried to remember the more it all slipped away.

I snuggled closer to him. I dont know what i would do if i didnt have him. This world messed up as it was, but with a little slice of heaven for my own, it was more manageable. Things had a way of fixing themself. They always did.

The choices we make in life determine who we are. We all make sacrifices for the ones we love. It was the way of the world. If you didnt have love, then what did you have? I had all i wanted right here beside me. I couldnt ask for more.

Life was hard. Sometimes things just do not go your way. No one has the power to change the past, we could only change our future. If we did have the power to change all that we had done, would we? That power was not suited for those of the earthly variety. We all had to make choices. Big and small. And those reflected on who we were. You can take the easy way out if you choose, but if you fight harder things have a way of fixing themselves.

Nothing was ever easy. We all make the choices that determine our paths in life. We make mistakes we are human. Well, almost human. We were not perfect. In the end, only you yourself can make that choice.

I shook these thoughts from my head. Why was i thinking these things? Choices to make? What choices? I had nothing to worry about right now. I was safe in bed with the one i loved. I hadn't made a mistake recently so that couldn't be it. What could it be? I couldn't remember my dream or whatever it was. Maybe i hadn't dreamed anything at all. Maybe i just was being weird. It was after all past midnight. I should be sleeping not worrying about the choices i had made. Things were the way they were. I had to be content with knowing i could not change what had been done.

I snuggled closer to Jace. This was where i was meant to be. He was the other part of me, and nobody could ever replace him. If this world was made up of choices, then my choice was him.

My choice would always be him.

What other choice did i have?

Authors note:

Now i know some of you may not be happy with the way things ended so i am here to help clear things up.

Clary does not remember the bargain she had made. When she made her choice, all the memories faded away. That is why she doesn't remember, and why she cant explain her last thoughts.

This story followed Clary, and the Other Clary. But in the reality of things, they were both the same person. The Other World would have been her reality if she had a normal family. The world she lives in now, is the one with her messed up family.

Don't we all wish we could go back? Rewind time, do things differently? This is the choice Asmodeus gave her. He allowed her to live through moments in time, with all the things she ever wanted. Jace and Kael Herondale are subsequently the same person.

Clary chose Jace. She chose him over saving her family, and innocent people. Now some people might be taken back by that. WHO would chose a guy over their loved ones and over the lives of many innocent people. She did.

Some may see that as selfish but i see that as real. From her point of view, she could not let Jace go. No matter how it was a good choice for her and everyone else. She could not let Jace be erased. Shes a teenager, and like most young adults. They think their love is the only thing that matters. Which to the one in love, it is, most of the time. Maybe if she had been older, maybe if she could see what her whole life with Jace would have been like, maybe, maybe, maybe.

Clary saw the side of the story that she had not had the chance to see. She lived her life and harbored her judgments. She never had a brother or a father. Asmodeus gave her the best gift of all. A choice

We all have choices to make in our own lives. Sometimes its a bit harder then most. Sometimes we make the wrong ones.

Did Clary make the wrong one?

Thats up to you, the readers, to decide.

Hope you enjoyed!
