CHAPTER 2
The next day...
I woke up at 8:00 am to find Jace's side of the bed empty, asuming he probably woke up early to go for a run or take Simba for a walk, I get out of bed to freshen up, only to notice Simba sleeping in front of the room door. Hmm, well that rules out the walk, so he is out for a run.
After I freshen up, Ensuring that Simba remained inside the room incase Aline was there, I head downstairs to make breakfast for myself, Jace and probably Aline too, only to find Jace and Aline making out on the couch. Shocked at the scene, I run back to my room and lock it sliding down the door, not being able to process what I had just seen.
Once it finally hits me I feel like a billion knives pierce my heart and break down. Not knowing what to do I call Jon and tell him everything. Jon tells me he is on his way and to get ready and pack my bags, I don't think twice and do as instructed and within half an hour, I am done packing. Simba paces around, a signal that he wnted to do his business. I take him out, holding onto his collar to find Jace and Aline nowhere to be found. I open the door and let simba out. Jon pull up in front of the house and hugs me while I cry on his shoulder, well…more like his arm.
"I am going to kill that son of a bitch!"Jon is furious, knowing Jon would do that I tell him "Please, don't make a scene, I just want to leave,"
"I am so sorry about what happened Clare,"
"It's not your fault, come in and help me with my bags,"Simba pounces on Jon, excited.
"What about Simba?"Jon asks me while he rubs Simba's head.
"He comes with us,"I tell him and go fetch his leash making Simba's tail move so fast, while Jon retrieves my bags. Jon comes down with my bags and proceeds to load the car and put Simba inside too, I tell Jon to wait in the car, while I went to my room to get my handbag.
When I came back, I find Jace sitting on the dinning table. I decide to ignore him and head towards the door.
"Hey! Where are you going?"Jace asks me. I notice his hair messed up, clearly because of Aline's fingers running through them. That was the final straw and I say "It's none of your business, but you will be hearing from my lawyers." I head out of the house, when I feel a hand grab my wrist.
"What do you mean by 'hearing from my lawyers'?" Jace asks not letting go of my wrist.
"I mean I am filing for a divorce after the incredible anniversary gift I saw this morning" I say while freeing my wrist from his hand.
" Wait, what anniversary and what gift" Oh my God, he forgot it was our wedding anniversary.
"Oh my god! Jace, I can't believe it you forgot our wedding anniversary and the gift, I saw was you and Aline kissing "
"Clary, I'm so sorry, let me explain," Jace begins the cliched person getting caught sentence.
" Oh! save yourself the trouble, I got a really good view of what happened,"
"Clar…" he begins but I hold my hand up and say "Save it, I am tired of you treating me like shit, I'm done, By the way, I am taking Simba, " with that I run to the car. Jace runs after me but Jon comes out of the car barricading himself between me and Jace and says "The fact that I am not beating the shit out of you is killing me, but because Clary told me not to cause a scene I am just going to say, Stay away from her or trust me Herondale, Clary won't be able to save your ass,"
Jon got inside the car and drove away, as we drove out of the driveway, I see Jace run his hands through his hair, like when he was nervous or was in a situation where he did not know what to do, slowly disappear as we went further
"Clare are you okay?"
"I can't believe this is happening, What did I do wrong Jon? Why was I not good enough for him?" I said with tears filling my eyes.
"Clary you were too good for him and he did not deserve to be treated so well, you loved him too much, so much so you gave up the one thing you loved to do the most, and to be honest your a much better singer than him and I'm not saying this because I'm your brother. I want you to do what you want and follow your passion"
'RING RING' my phone started to ring , it was Jace. Jon guessed who it was by the look on my face
"Clary don't" Jon said, but I ignored him and answered the call.
"Hello!"
"Clary please come back lets talk this out"
"Jace there is nothing left to talk about, for the past 4 months I called you, but you didn't even bother to call back so don't bother now Jace" With that I hung up and turned my phone off.
After the call I made my decision, I am not going to cry over Jace, I sacrificed so much for him for nothing. It was time I got back.
"Jon you were right, break time is officially over,"
Jon smiled "that's the clare bear I know."With that we drove to my old apartment.
As I entered my apartment, I smiled, this was the first house I bought and brought back so many memories. After I got married to Jace, I was planning to sell this place but somehow I couldn't go through with it. So I gave the keys to Jon whenever he needed a place to stay he could come here or if I wanted to get away for sometime I could come here and relax, it was my home away from home.
"So Clary, I have a surprise for you,"Jon covered my eyes, and took me to what I am guessing one of the rooms.
"Here it is,"Jon removed his hands and what I saw was amazing, my guest bedroom looked like my old music room back in New York, I couldn't help but smile, amazed, the whole room was the same the floor was wooden and in the middle was a grand piano not too big, then there were different Guitars and a small recording booth but all the equipment was new.
"Do you like it?" Jon says
"Do I like it? Jon I love it,"I hugged Jon
" When did you do this?"
" Well, remember I asked if I could stay here well I thought that for your birthday, I would recreate your Old music room from back in New York I felt nostalgic after watching your home videos where you spent most of your summer breaks in. It was where you wrote your very first album. I wanted to surprise you for your birthday, but it took a little more time to get everything right and I thought it would be good motvation for you to restart your career,"
"Thanks Jon for everything" I say and hug him again.
"Ok, so we have exactly 2 hours for you to get ready"
"Get ready?"
" Oh, did I forget to mention today, you will be meeting the head of your record label to discuss your new album"
" Okay? but how did you know if I would say yes?"
"Well, I sort of was going to force you to do it, " I laughed at Jon's guilty face.
"Fine, I will go get dressed,"
0o0o0oo0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o
As I walked in STAR records, we were greeted by Kaiele, the receptionist
"Hey Clary and Jon! Its so great to see you"
"Hi Kaiele! It's great to be back " I say
"Hey Kaiele! We had an appointment with Mr. Star" Jon says
"Yeah , He will see you now" she says
we walk towards Mr and we enter
"Clary, Jon! I was so glad to receive your call, Please sit" Mr. Star says Jon and I greet him and sit.
"So Clary, How are you?" he asks
"Well, I have had rough couple of months, other than that I am great. What about you Mr. Star?" I say
"uh uh uh, Clary! How many times do I have to tell you to call me David?" he says
" Okay David, How are you?" I say
"Well, I have had the most amazing day, My favorite Artist is finally coming back," He says
"Okay! David when can Clary start?" Jon asks
"Well, she can start anytime she wants." he says
"So, Clare when would you like to start?" Jon asks me
"uh, How about tomorrow?" I say
"GREAT!" both Jon and David say at the same time. I laugh at how enthusiastic they were. Gosh! I missed this.
"So, Clary be at the Studio at 7:00 am and leave the rest to me," David says and I agree to it. After talking about everything needed for my comeback, Jon and I decided to head home.
As we were driving, I was thinking about how much my life changed the last couple of months.
"Hey Clare?" Jon spoke up breaking me out of my dream state,
"Yeah Jon"
"I have to go meet some people, are you going to be okay?"
"Jon, I will be fine"
I take my phone out to turn it on and see 62 missed calls and 32 text messages from Jace. I just ignore them and look out the window after a few moment I ask Jon
We reached my Apartment. Jon tells me to call him if I need anything and leaves.
I walk up to the elevator and press button leading to the penthouses and within a few seconds the elevator doors open and I see the last person I wanted to see waiting in front of my apartment. Well, I should have seen this coming I think to myself.
"Clary!" he says coming towards me
"Stop Jace! What do you want now?" I say trying to sound as cold as possible
"Clary, Please lets discuss the situation and let me explain myself," he says pleading.
"Fine, come in inside," I say, opening the door and he follows me inside.
"Okay, Explain!"
"Clare, it was a mistake. It was just one kiss and-" I cut him off
"Just One Kiss? Jace are you Freaking kidding me? it was literally a makeout session between you two," I can't believe this.
"Clary, Why do you have to Make it such a big deal? You reacting as if you caught us having sex, it was just one mistake," .
"One Mistake Jace? You forgot our wedding anniversary on top of that, made out with some didn't bother to call me these last four months, Hell, you didn't even bother to pickup my phone calls and then later your phone would be switched off," I say tears filling my eyes
"Okay, I admit that I forgot our wedding anniversary, I'm sorry but I could not pickup your call because I was really busy and you kept on calling me every second,"
"Busy? You were so busy that you could not even spare a minute to talk to me Jace, huh? Did you bother to find out whether I was okay or not huh? Okay, you were busy in rehearsals, but what about all the times you were partying and going to different clubs, huh? You didn't bother to find out if I was okay or even alive"I tell him.
"Well, you're Alive and look fine, Clary,"he says, I shake my head in disappointment. I decide to tell him what happened in the last four months.
" Yeah Jace, I am alive, but I am not okay, I have to take anti-deppresants,and the reason is because I was pregnant and I wanted to tell you but you just kept ignoring my calls, I told my mom about it and she stayed with me," I say and start to feel the tears fall down as I began to explain "I had a miscarriage the next month and lost the child, Jace. I was all alone that day and if not for Simba alerting our neighbours I don't know what would have happened. I was in the hospital for almost a month, the only people who knew was my mom and our neighbour Emma," I say and see Jace who was shocked.
"You know Jace when I lost my child, I just wanted you to be there with me. So, I kept Calling and Calling hoping that you would pick up or call me back but, I was wrong." I say "So, tell me How would I feel, when I see my Husband, who didn't bother calling me to tell he was coming and once arrived didn't even say Hello, Who forgot our Anniversary and made out with some other girl and to top it all telling me that it was one kiss, one mistake. Well, we discussed and now Please leave." I say and get up and go to my room and locking it.
