Jace's POV
After the heat wave me and clary barely spoke to each other. She was helping a mystery man through a death. In one week clary was set to leave. Tomorrow was the first trial practice for Clary. She didn't want to tell me so I found out from Jon.
'Hey Clary-J" no response. Was she ignoring me?
"How are you?-J"
"I'm needy? :( -J" I left it at that and called Izzy to go to takis. When we got there the place was scarce. Only two other couples. Me and Izzy called a waiter and started to catch up.
Clary's POV
I saw all of Jace's texts except- well I don't know. I was scared I've been avoiding everyone and being selective. The only person who has heard more then a word from me this week was Raphael. I was currently in a private area full of trees. Why I was here well I was sitting in one of the trees drawing while trying to relax.
"I'm needy:( -J" I opened my phone to see this. I was saddened suddenly. How much I would love to be sitting with Jace up here while listening to his first world problems. I finally picked up my phone to text him back.
"I love you I'm just hiding for a bit. -C" I press send and continue my drawing. It was of Jace shirtless. I drew angel wings coming out of his back. Jace was perfect I don't deserve him. He loves me for me but I keep dragging him down. I was getting tired. Then I felt my phone buzz.
"I love you too-J." My heart skipped a beat. I started to climb down from the tree. Everything was dark out. I took a deep breath and started walking straight. In doing so I tripped over something. My ankle felt a jabbing pain. The pain felt... comforting. I put the flashlight on my phone and looked around to see a exit.
I didn't even recognize the area alone. I called Sebastian. He didn't pick up. I called Jon. Nope. Now I called Jace. He picked up on the second ring.
"Clary!" He said cheerfully.
Jace's POV
I was sitting on the couch watching some TV show that was monotone what so ever. My phone started to ring. It was clary. Hallelujah! She can save me from boredom!
"Clary!" I said happily in the phone. I heard a lot of abstract sounds in the background. "Hey where are you?"
"Jace don't freak out but I'm lost and scared." Her voice was very strangled.
"Clary describe your location now." I said trying to remain calm but actually freaking out.
"I have a location just I'm lost and it's dark and I think I twisted my ankle."
"Clary don't worry I will get you out of there just sit tight k?"
"Alright please hurry." I phoned up and slipped on my coat while putting on shoes. I dialed Jon, Seb, Magnus, Simon, and Izzy to meet me so we can scatter. When I got there the place was huge. We all started our search. I called clary again.
"Baby it's Jace we are here scream as loud as you can." I was frantic. I phoned up. I heard nothing. Simon texted everyone that he heard her. I was still panicking.
After 30 minutes of searching I felt useless. I was scared if she was gone- god I'm being overdramatic she's lost not dead.
"Guys! I found her meet me at the entrance!-Si"
"My lord thank you-Ja" all the weight on my shoulders left.
"Thank you Simon for finding my baby sister-Seb."
"And mine-Jon."
"Stop texting you guys and move-Iz." I started running when I saw a faint red. Clary. I ran up to her and scooped her off the ground pulling her into a bear hug. I wasn't ready to let go and neither was clary because she held on with dear life to me. I planted a kiss on her lips and finally let her go.
"Don't ever do that again Clary don't be stupid." I said softly into her hair.
"I promise-SEB!" She limped to Sebastian giving him a tight squeeze.
"You are one clumsy species." He said with relief washing over him.
"My beautiful biscuit! How dare you try and run a at next time lock yourself in a room not in the middle of the forest how dare you to the people you love!" Magnus said whilst also scolding her.
"Sorry Mags I didn't expect to get lost in the middle of the night."
"I forgive you biscuit."
"Let's get you home." I said taking clary back in my arms. Clary nodded. She limped her way to the car. Everyone sat down. Before I entered I made clary face me so I could get a better look at her leg.
"So what's the verdict?" Clary asked calmly.
"It's definitely twisted of sprained from a scale from one to ten how much pain are you in."
"8 but I like it." My head shot up to face clary who was looking at her ankle.
"Don't you dare ever say you like the pain again." She nodded numbly. We decided to wait until the morning and because was clary was tired and dazed. Clary agreed to come home with me. Home? I mean my place.
"Jace your cheeks are a bright red are you okay."
"I'm fine clary. Just fine." I kissed her temple and she closed her eyes while still smiling. My grip on her only grew tighter after she fell asleep. If she doesn't win this then I'll personally hide her away and keep her safe in my arms.
"I love you Clary Fray." I whisper into her ear.
"I love you Jonathan Herondale." She said softly just before her breaths became completely even.
"This is too cute it hurts." Izzy said with a giant smile.
"If you hurt her I will kill you." Sebastian and Simon said at the exact same time. I laughed.
"I would go to hell before I do." I said with a giant ear to ear grin.
"I know." Jon and Magnus said in sync as well.
