PoV Clary
So I did. I went to talk to Jace. I knocked on his door and waited. Again more waiting. I shook my head. Stop thinking about waiting!
Alec opened the door and peered down at me sleepily through his long black lashed. "Can I help you?"
"Where's Jace?" I asked.
"Somewhere…" Alec yawned. "The library, I think."
"Thank you!" I flashed him a smile and set of running down the hallway towards the library.
When I got there, I found Jace in the sports section.
"Jace!" I said, earning a "SHUSH!" from the librarian.
"What?" he whispered.
"I came to say I'm sorry," I whispered, pushing a lock of hair behind my ear. "I mean it, Jace, I'm sorry."
"That's great for you." Jace moved further down into the aisle, trying to get away from me. I just followed.
"Jace, I broke up with Simon," I said.
He stopped and looked at me, his eyes wide. "What?"
"I choose you." I smiled. "I would choose you before everyone else."
He smiled, and caught himself. His face went back to a blank slate, no emotions showing. "So?"
"Jace, you just smiled." I walked up to him and wrapped my arms around him, feeling his warmth. I placed a kiss on his cheek and rested my head on his shoulder. His arms wound their way around me and he held me tightly.
"Please don't leave me again, Clary," he whispered into my hair.
"I won't."
I felt something wet drop onto my cheek. I looked up at Jace to find him crying.
"What's wrong?" I asked, startled.
"Nothing," Jace said. "I'm just so happy."
