As Clary cried, she remembered what Hodge had told her, before he...died. Hodge had told her that most of the time, people didn't cry when they were sad or frightened, but when they were frustrated. Now, Clary's tears were ones of frustration, heartbreak, and anger-at Alora, Jace, and herself. Clary cried herself to sleep, and when she awoke, she decided to visit Jace. Clary hadn't wanted to tell Jace what he had forgotten, she had wanted Jace to remember on his own. But what if telling him what he had forgotten helped jog some of his memories? She had to try. After breakfast.
Once Clary had filled herself with blueberry pancakes(from Taki's-no one trusted Izzy's dishes), she walked to Jace's room. She stood outside the door for about ten minutes, trying to decide how to tell him. Would he believe her? What if telling him didn't change anything? What if he remembered and still chose Alora??? Finally Clary opened the door a crack.
She whispered, in case he was still sleeping. "Hey Ja-" Clary stopped short when she looked inside. Jace and Alora were kissing in a rather…intimate position on Jace's bed. Clary's breath caught in her throat. Jace was slightly…distracted, but Alora saw Clary. Clary wasn't sure if she imagined Alora's quick, gloating grin. It could have been her imagination. Or not. But it didn't matter either way. Because Clary was done.
---Izzy, sort of POV---
Izzy was worried. She had heard the whole story from Clary. Unlike last night, Clary wasn't crying this time. She just sat there on her bed, calmly, talking like normal. But refusing to visit Jace again. And when Izzy looked in Clary's eyes, she didn't see sparkling emerald like usual. She saw a pale, dull, empty, emotionless jade.
"Come on, Clary!" begged Izzy, "What do you mean, You're done?"
Clary raised her chin indignantly. "I mean, that I'm done wasting my time on Jace. Who cares if he gets his memories back?!"
"Uhh…Alec? Magnus? Me? EVERYBODY?"
Clary glared, "Then why don't they talk to Jace?"
"They do," replied Izzy, biting her lip, "But you're the one that Jace forgot and you're the one that is most likely to be able to retrieve Jace's memories."
"Well I'm sick of dealing with Jace! I don't care if he remembers me!"
"Then do you care if he ends up in Alora's evil clutches?"
Clary was silent for a moment. "You want to know the truth?"
Izzy waited for Clary to continue.
Clary sighed. "You know, I had this crazy belief, at the bottom of my heart that even if he lost his memories, no matter what, Jace would still choose me. But I was wrong. Jace chose Alora."
Isabelle's heart ached for the redhead. Izzy had never had a close female friend and it hurt to see Clary like this. "Clary, you don't know what Jace was like before he met you. He never cared about anything else. You don't understand. Even now that he's forgotten you, he's not like he was before. You changed him Clary."
The two friends sat in silence as Izzy's words sank in. Finally, Clary ran her fingers through her hair.
"Izzy, seeing him with Alora, it hurt. I don't want to feel this pain anymore. I'm sorry." Her voice was quiet, but powerful, and Izzy got off of Clary's bed.
Before she closed the door, she took one final look at Clary. Clary looked tiny under her mass of red hair, like something was crushing her. And Izzy couldn't bear to watch anymore.
Aww...Izzy shows her sweet side...I thought about adding Jace POV along with all this, but with so little feedback, i wasn't feeling inspired. Sorry! But I have a plan for the next few chapters and I'll give you a hint! IF YOU REVIEW! If we make it to 50 reviews by tomorrow, I'll post the hint. If we make it to 60 reviews byyy WEDNESDAY, I will post extra chapters. If not, I'll just post 1 chapter on Wednesday. I'm reading this fanfic with like 8 chapters and it has over 100 reviews so im jealoouus... But I'm not as good of a writer as the over 100 person so it's ok. But REVIEW!
