So we hit 500 comments, by the Angel I know, it's insane. But legit I didn't even notice until the actual 500th comment said "#500 (I hope)" and I was like... wait. But yeah! So shout out to SheOfManyFandoms who I would like to apologize to for not having a mustache reveal but then that would've made the story far shorter, wouldn't it. Anyway, they said: "Still think you should have gone with the moustache reveal. #500! (I hope) Also, this is a good story. Thank you." No, thank you. I love y'all.
Well, I guess here's the next chapter... Enjoy!

CLARY'S POV

Monday morning Clary drew in her notebook as Mr. Wayland droned on. Magnus was talking quietly with Alec beside her. Clary paid no attention to her two friends as she focused on the drawing in front of her. It was a sketch for her art class, they were supposed to draw a portrait of someone they knew and Clary hadn't been able to choose which of her friends to draw so she decided to do one of each of them and she would choose after. She had finished one of Simon, Isabelle, Jon, and Alec and was now doing Jace's portrait.

She was drawing him from the torso up. He had one of his hands raised to comb through his hair and had his signature smirk. She was focusing on his hair when Magnus leaned over her shoulder. She glanced to the side as he placed his face right next to hers before she continued drawing. Magnus sat silently for a moment watching Clary draw before he spoke.

"Why are you drawing Jace?" He wondered and Clary answered still drawing.

"It's for a project," She answered.

"A project where you have to draw Jace?" Magnus raised an eyebrow at her. Alec looked around his shoulder at Clary's drawing.

Clary flipped back a couple pages to the first portrait and started flipping through them as she explained. "I have to draw a portrait of someone I know and I couldn't decide who to draw so I'm doing all of you and choosing after." Alec and Magnus both sat back in their chairs seeming a little disappointed.

"Well, where am I?" Magnus suddenly asked realizing he wasn't there.

"I haven't done you yet," Clary replied going back to drawing. "I'll draw you after Jace."

"Fair enough," Magnus said.

"Hey, can I see mine?" Alec asked already reaching for Clary's sketchbook. He grabbed it before Clary could protest and flipped back a couple drawings before landing on his own. Once again, it was from his torso up, they all were. In the drawing Alec had his arms crossed over his chest and he was looking to the side like he was fed up with something... like usual. "Nice," Alec said studying it. "Can I have this if you don't choose it?"

Clary shrugged and took her sketchbook back as Alec handed it to her. "Sure I guess." As she set her sketchbook back on her desk Clary saw some words begin to appear on her. She turned her attention to the black marks as the sentence formed.

What are you doing over spring break?

Going out of town. Why?

Well I was kind of hoping

There was a long pause like the guy was unsure about what he was going to write next.

That we could meet.

Clary's eyes widened. She didn't know how to respond because she couldn't meet him. Not over spring break, she had to go to her parent's. Clary wanted to meet him obviously, but she knew that her response had to be no.

I can't... I have to go out of town, there's no getting out of it.

Are you sure? Because I'm being serious right now, I think I'm actually ready to meet you.

Yeah, I'm sorry.

Me too...

Clary stared down at her wrist solemnly. Magnus seemed to notice her now sad mood because he put a hand on her shoulder and looked at her worriedly.

"What's wrong, biscuit?" He asked.

Clary didn't look up from her wrist. "The guy wanted to meet over spring break... but I can't. I can't get out of going to my parent's." When Clary looked at Magnus he seemed surprised. He glanced back at Alec who seemed equally surprised before returning his gaze to Clary.

"He wants to meet you? Really?" Clary nodded and held out her arm for him to see.

"Wow," Alec commented. "That's... great."

"Yeah," Magnus still seemed surprised, even a little freaked. "Fantastic, I can hardly believe it." His voice was almost monotone with shock.

"Well it's not happening," Clary said bringing her arm back towards her. "There is absolutely no possible way for me to meet him. I'll be gone all break." She stared down at her wrist and sighed. "Maybe we can meet after..." Clary was trying to be hopeful but she was barely convincing herself. She looked back down at her sketchbook where Jace's drawing sat when she suddenly remembered that she had been wanting to do something. Despite the whole soulmate issue, she had an important task that she couldn't just forget about.

Clary turned to Alec. "Hey, you know those pictures that your mom sends Jace of your little brother with that wooden toy?"

Alec seemed taken aback. "How do you know about-"

Clary waved away his question. "Nevermind that, do you have one of those pictures on your phone?" Alec nodded his head still seeming confused and a little shocked. "Can I see it?"

"Sure," Alec took out his phone and unlocked it. It was only a moment before he pulled up a picture and handed the phone to Clary. She looked down at the smiling boy with brown hair and thick glasses covering his gray eyes. She studied the soldier in his small hands, memorized it. Then she handed the phone back to Alec.

"Max is adorable," Clary said. "I find it a little funny that none of you have the same eyes though."

"What do you mean?" Alec questioned putting his phone back in his pocket.

"You have blue eyes," Clary said. "Izzy has brown eyes, and Max has gray ones."

"Oh yeah," Alec said like he was just realizing this. "I guess so. Why did you want to see the picture though?"

Clary just shrugged. "Jace told me about it and I wanted to see. Plus I had never seen a picture of Max before."

"Hopefully one day you can meet him," Alec said and that actually warmed Clary's heart. It was nice to think that Alec liked her enough to even consider letting her meet his little brother. Of course, with Clary being best friends with Isabelle it probably would've happened one way or another.

"Yup," Clary said her mind mainly focusing on two words Alec said. Ever since they had been spoken by Jace just the day before they were the only words that Clary could seem to think of. She had racked her brain but it seemed like the universe wanted her to forget the significance of them. Whatever that significance was. "One day."


JACE'S POV

He took his best shot and still Clary was going to be going to her parent's. Jace didn't know what else he could do without actually getting involved in the situation. Although now that he thought about it, if they actually were able to meet in real life over break Jace would have no idea what to say to Clary. It would probably have been awkward as hell so in a way he was thankful she was still going... that came out wrong. Even in his own mind, it came out wrong.

Jace shook the horrid thoughts away as he continued walking up to his dorm. When he opened it he was a little surprised to find that the place was empty. Nobody else was there... that's a first.

Jace walked down to his own bedroom deciding he would take a nap. It was rare that he ever got peace and quiet and it had actually been quite a taxing day. Jace kicked off his shoes and pulled off his shirt. His eyes passing over the corner of the ceiling where the two ravens were. Except Jace's brain barely registered the fact that there was now a third raven. This one with gray eyes.

He crawled into his bed with a deep breath and pulled the covers up to his neck. Jace tossed and turned for a moment before landing on his back. His eyes were closed but he let them open for a moment just so he could see the ceiling and Clary's designs. But when Jace opened his eyes he froze. His mouth parted slightly as he slowly sat up in his bed not taking his eyes off what was painted directly above his head.

The wooden soldier.

I know this one was like super short, please don't hate me, but I had like two quizzes this week and we've already gotten like a billion assignments but I knew I had to post for 500 comments.
Anyway, I guess I'll just end with my usual closure, my Angels. Hope y'all liked this chapter. Don't forget to review and I will update soon because writing is the only thing that keeps me sane during the school year.
