CLARYS POV
Clary came back to the world slowly, peeling her eyes open and wincing at the brightness of the room, she paused thinking back to last night wondering where she was, she snapped her eyes shut as it all came back to her, that night in the park after Alec and Magnus's wedding, demon hunting with Isabelle and Jace, everything, her breath caught as she realised it had been a year since she had seen any of the people she loved, and she wasn't going to wait another second, she sat up abruptly, startling a very tired looking Jace who was sitting beside her, "JACE!", she threw her skinny arms around his neck pulling him close, "I missed you", Clary whispered over and over into Jaces ear, his body was shaking in her arms as he sobbed silently into her shoulder before pulling away and looking her straight in the eyes, she stared back into his golden ones, and she immediately recognised the spark that was so uniquely his
"Is it really you?" Clary nodded and Jace pulled her into a kiss, she had missed this without realising it, it was one of those kisses where you thought you had all the time in the world, soft, but passionate, she pulled away, they were both breathing hard, she had been fighting back tears but they had finally won,rolling down her cheeks as she struggled to breath
"I..I'm so..so.s..sorry" she got out in between sobs, Jace stared at her, a look of confusion crossed his face "hey, Clary it's okay, what are you sorry about?" Breathing became harder as she explained to him how she had failed everyone, and how it was okay to hate her and send her away for leaving them, she risked a glance at him, he seemed drained and hurt, as if he was disappointed in her, she wanted to just crawl under the covers and hide, she had hurt him and everyone she cared about and know they all hated her
"Seriously Clary? Do you really think we would hate you and want you to leave?" She nodded her head slowly, confused "I mean I don't understand why you wouldn't" she stated, simply pointing out what she thought was obvious, he shook his head "Clary none of us hate you, we miss you, and your never leaving, ever again"
She couldn't help but smile, once she had calmed down a bit she slowly slipped out of the bed, and immediately sat back down, overcome by a wave of dizziness as she noticed the pain in her forehead, Jace looked sad as she bought her hand up to feel a bandaid stuck to her hairline "what's this?" He looked down, not wanting to meet her gaze
"When you passed out, you fell and I didn't catch you" he seemed so sad that he had caused her pain, when really she just found it found funny, she laughed and he glanced up, staring at her in disbelief as she continued to giggle, she froze as Isabelle strode into the room, making her way over to Clary and Jace
"Hi, I'm Isabelle, last night you tripped over and my friend Jace here brought you in, I can call a cab as soon as you are ready to leave" she informed Clary
"That eager to get rid of me, huh Izzy?" She smirked, Izzys eyes filled with tears as she stared at Clary
"Clary?" She sounded hopeful and Clary put her arms out, welcoming her into a hug, they stayed like that for a minute, embraced in each other's arms, and then, there was nothing else, no problems, no Jace, just Clary and Isabelle, her Parabatai.
