"Izzy that best be you!" Jace shouted knocking on the door as loud as he possibly could.
"It's nice to see you too." Isabelle replied opening the door too quickly. Jace almost fell into her room but he steaded himself and he straightened up. He looked at Izzy and all he thought was 'wow'. He thought she looked amazing and that if they weren't related, he'd make a move.
"Wow Iz, you look..hot. Don't worry I'm not hitting on you; my heart belongs to someone much prettier." Jace laughed and Isabelle moved aside so he could go and sit down.
"I think we all know that's not possible but thank you anyway. Wow, you weren't a complete ass for a change." Isabelle grinned showing her perfect smile.
"Well no that's because I need to speak to you about a serious matter and I've been waiting since Friday so you're going to listen." Jace replied sitting down on one of Isabelle's black couches. She sat down next to him being ever so careful in her dress. Clary was sat on Isabelle's bed right in front of them and only Isabelle knew she was sat there listening to the conversation that was about to happen. The bad thing was that as soon as Clary had laid eyes on Jace, she wanted to run and jump straight into his arms and never let him go; she knew however, that that could not happen, not yet.
"So that's everything that's everything that's happened since Friday." Jace finished explaining everything that had happened over the past three days and Isabelle was in slight shock from what he had said.
"So you still love Clary?" Isabelle said after about five minutes of silence.
"How could you even ask that? Have you not been listening at all?! I adore Clary, Isabelle. She's my rock, my world and my heart, she's always been there for me and I ruined everything just because she didn't get in touch. I love her so much Iz and I really wish I hadn't of done what I did. But-" Isabelle cut him off as she remembered what Clary had told her to say if he brought up the 'not getting in contact' bit.
"Jace wait! There's something you need to know and I'm really sorry but you're not going to like it." She prepared herself for the worst so she quickly ran into her closet and got changed. She was back out and next to Jace in a minute.
"What? What is it? Isabelle?" Jace had gone white and this was it; the tears came flooding out of Clary's eyes. Luckily, no one could hear her.
"Jace..Clary's..dead." Isabelle saw Jace go even paler and he just stared into the distance and out of Isabelle's window.
"No-no she can't be. I saw her with you in the alley way outside the Pandemonium on Friday. She's not dead Isabelle, how could you say that?" Jace said still staring.
"Jace I'm so sorry but that was only a hologram. She was never really there. Even though it seemed like she was real, she wasn't." Isabelle put her arm around his shoulders but he just shrugged her off.
"I need some space. It's not true, I'd know if it was." And with that, he stood up and walked right out of Isabelle's room not even looking back.
Half an hour later and Jace was still in shock. He'd made his way up to the hidden gardens where he and Clary had first kissed. Surely I'd of felt something if she'd of died. No Jace! Stop thinking like that, she's not gone; she can't be. He thought to himself. That's when his first tear escaped his eye. The boy who never cried began crying at the truth that his one and only true love was gone. He sat there crying for hours and by the time he'd let all of his tears drown his shirt; it was 4pm.
Clary had also been crying for the entire time since Jace had left and Isabelle was there to comfort her through it all.
"Clary, you need to listen to what he said. He regrets it all and surely you could tell in his eyes that he was being deadly serious. He'd never lie about something that was so important to him and Clary, you're his entire world. I honestly don't know what he'll do if you decide to leave him for good." Isabelle said still comforting her.
"I know he was being honest the entire time Iz, I just don't know whether I can forgive him so easily." Clary said wiping away some remaining tears.
"I'm sure you can find it in your heart to forgive him but for the time being, just watch him and see how he acts because Clary, he won't be happy at all." Isabelle said with a firm tone.
"I know, that's why I need to think it through carefully." Clary had stopped crying now and she sat up straight.
"Just don't take too long Clary, I don't think his heart can take it." Isabelle said. She got off the bed and turned to look back at Clary. "Now, I'm going to play dress up and I need some help." She said hauling Clary off the bed. They made their way over to the closet and Isabelle began her fun.
"Okay, I'll let you do this on one condition." Clary said raising an eyebrow.
"And what's that?" Isabelle replied smirking.
"You make me look like a million dollars so if I decide to go back to Jace, he'll have a nice surprise." Isabelle grinned and they laughed as Isabelle pulled out different outfits trying to decide which would make Clary look the hottest.
