Chapter two
Clary POV
"I will kill him." Simon says with so much aggressiveness it makes me laugh a little to see him so protective
"Don't you dare, that my job." Izzy says, appearing at the door
"Izzy!" I say and run to hug her. "I'm sorry I left without telling you I just couldn't do it anymore."
"Don't worry Jace told me you left." She says and plops down beside Simon on the couch
"He did?" I ask a bit surprised that he cared about me leaving
Izzy doesn't seem to hear me, she's talking to Simon. I go upstairs so they have some privacy. I lay down on Simon's spare bad and think about everything. Jace got sick of me, then he left me for another girl, I now don't live at the institute and I despise the man I used to love.
3 months later
I open my apartment door to the similar shabby apartment I managed to buy from my savings. I live quite close to Simon, so I see him lots.
I haven't seen Jace since I left but I think about him all the time. I try to and occupy myself with art and friends. Mum and Luke visit sometimes but not very often.
"Want some lunch?" I snap my head up to see Simon at my door
"Simon you scared me." I say getting up and grabbing the brown paper bags off him. Whatever is inside smells amazing
We sit munching on the food and talking about stuff. Simon and Izzy are really good right now and I can't help but wish Jace and I were. I scold myself again for thinking about him.
After Simon leaves I go back to doing some doodling on my notepad. I keep drawing the same rune repeatedly, but I don't know what it is. I decide to get up and go out of this miserable apartment.
