Clary:

Clary left the room saddened. She knew that she was the one who broke it off with Jace, but that was only because she knew he didn't love her just like he did to everyone else. But she loved him. She loves him.

When Clary started to head to the living room, the pressure of her breaking up with Jace was to much and she felt herself let out a sob.

She began to cry. Why couldn't Jace love her? Why did she have to fall in love with him, him of all the guys she could have loved. God, Jace.

Jace. Just hearing his name made her cry harder.

She heard a gasp. "Clary! What's wrong?"

It was Alec. She tried to respond but she couldn't stop sobbing. Alec rushed to her side and pulled her into a hug as she cried.

"Clary, what happened?", Alec asked her, letting her cry into his shirt.

She tried to talk in sentences, but it came out like this, "J-jac-ce *sob* Me *harder sob* We broke up"

She felt Alec's hug on her tighten as she said this. "Oh Clary, I'm so sorry.

Though she was glad of Alec's company, it just made her think that Jace was the one who was supposed to be holding her when she cried. And that just made her sob harder.

Jace:

Jace couldn't believe it. They had broken up. He didn't think it was possible. He didn't blame Clary, but he loved her, he thought she knew that.

Jace didn't cry, Jace never cried. He didn't cry after his father's death, he didn't cry after his brother's death, but for some reason he cried about this.

It was all his fault. He had wasted his whole life girlfriend after girlfriend after girlfriend. If he could take it back he would, without even a thought.

Clary probably hated him now. Jace knew he should be mad at Clary, furious even, but he just couldn't. And honestly, he didn't think she was taking it very well either. He had seen the tears in her eyes before she slammed the door. The sadness in her anger. And he wanted to do nothing more than to hold her as she cried. But he couldn't.

It has been 15 minutes before he stopped crying. He looked intothe mirror. God, he looked like a mess. He's eyes were read from tears, his hair, usually slicked back, was frizzing out everywhere from his sweat. Oh, if Clary were here, she would make some funny comment about it, but then tell him he was beautiful, the way he did to her.

"Jace", he heard a voice call behind him. It was Izzy.

"Y-yes", he answered, then cursed himself because his voice was shaky and hoarse from crying.

"Jace? Are you okay?", Izzy asked, him, concerned.

Jace turned to her, and whispered, "Clary and I broke up," in such a soft voice that Izzy almost didn't hear him. Almost.

"Oh, Jace", she said, then walked over and sat down next to him.

Jace got up and said, "I'm gonna go grab something to eat,"

Izzy got up and stopped him, "Wait-Jace, you don't have to pretend you're okay. You can-"

Jace interrupted her, "I can what? I can cry? I don't cry in front of people, I don't cry at all", he lied, "I'm fine, just forget it."

And with that, he walked out of the room, and he heard Izzy try to stop him, but he brushed past that. He needed something to get his mind off of this. He had to get out of there.

He was walking on a sidewalk, when his phone started buzzing like crazy, he checked it quickly, hoping it was Clary, but it was just Isabelle.

Izzy: Are you okay?

Izzy: Call me.

Izzy: What happened between you too?

Izzy: You have to talk to me big brother.

Izzy: I need to know where you are.

He rolled his eyes at Izzy's antics. He wasn't in the mood for this right now. The only thing he was in the mood for, was wrapping his arms around Clary, telling her that he loved her. But that wasn't an option. He had to go back to the way his life was before Clary.

But he knew that wasn't possible. Before Clary came along, he had never known true love. When she entered his life, it was like a lightbulb turned on in his head. His father had once told him to love is to destroy. When he met Clary, he didn't think it was true. He thought love couldn't destroy you, that it made you happy. But his father was right. It did destroy you.

Without Clary, it was like a part of Jace's heart had been ripped out of him. It broke him. He was broken.

Clary:

Clary was walking. To wear, she didn't know. She had chosen the first path she saw through the woods, and started walking. She wouldn't go into the city, she knew Jace would be there. When saddened, Jace would try to get his mind off it. He wouldn't let himself mourn or cry, at least not in front of people.

He was different from Clary in that way. When Clary was ever sad or angry, she mourned, or let off steam. And right now, she wanted to do both.

She found a tree, and climbed on top of it. She was sitting on one of it's large branch thingies. She sat down, and cried. She cried for Jace, their breakup, and everything that had to do with him. She knew she had already cried on Alec, but she didn't want him to think she was weak any more than she already was.

After about 10 minutes of crying, she no longer felt saddened. She felt angry. She wanted to smash something, watch it break. She wanted to scream out loud to the sky.

She climbed down from the tree, and ran out into the city. She just wanted to go home. Not to the cabin, not to her mom's house, to Jace. He was her home, he was her love.

But she knew she just had to get over it. To him, she was just another one of the casual girls he dated. She just...had to move on, somehow.

She went back to the cabin, and was about to go get something to eat, when she felt Izzy's arm pull her into her room. She looked up, it was Maia and Izzy, the room had ice cream,pizza, movies, and everything used for a breakup. They had used this when Jordan, Maia's ex boyfriend, had died.

"What. Happened?", Maia said.

Clary told them everything, them breaking up, her mourning him, Alec being there, her anger, everything.

She was pacing around the room, "I was so stupid for believing he actually loved me."

Izzy and Maia exchanged glances. "Clary," Izzy started, "Jace does love you. I've seen it, those girls meant nothing to him, he loves you more than anything, and I know he cried for you, or is right now.", and Maia nodded in agreement.

"Maybe he does love me, and I know I love him, but I can't be with someone who has had more relationships than anyone in the entire world! And then he blames it on me for choosing to be in this relationship! He was bound to break up with me eventually, and I just can't be in that relationship! It's just too much!", Clary said, explaining.

"I think I see her point Iz," Maia said, "but I think this happened for a reason."

Izzy groaned as Clary nodded. Maia and Clary both believed in fate, they thought everything happened for a reason, because it was meant to happen. Izzy thought it was pointless.

"Right, because Jace and I were meant to break up, because we weren't meant for each other, right?", Clary questioned Maia.

"No, you two are meant for each other, I know it, he makes you the happiest you've ever been, and you do the same to him. Maybe this was supposed to happen, maybe the world is putting your relationship to the test", Maia explained.

Izzy and Clary blanched. "That's stupid", Clary said, "If Jace and I were meant to be together, we would be together right now."

"I'm sorry Clary, but I have to agree with Maia. Maybe this is just putting your relationship to a test.", Izzy said.

Clary scoffed, "Jace and I are not getting back together. As much as I want it, it's not happening. Period."

Maia and Izzy exchanged glances again.

"Is there any extra rooms? I can't sleep in the same room as Jace, even for one more night."

Izzy nodded in understanding, " Are you fine with sleeping on the living room couch."

Clary nodded.

"Then just grab your stuff, and you can put it down there."

Next thing Clary knew, she was outside of Jace's bedroom, about to open the door. She hoped Jace wasn't back yet, she really didn't want to see him. She didn't think she could, without bursting into tears. She slightly opened the door and…

Will Clary and Jace get back together? Or will they stay broken up forever? I update at least once a day, and at the most 3 times a day, but normally just 2 times. This chapter was kind of just showing Clary and Jace's feelings on the breakup. Next chapter might be better. Peace,
