Chapter 5
I awake in my old bedroom, it looks the same, maybe a bit cleaner. I sit upwards quickly and nearly whack my head into Jace.
"Clary?" He says quickly looking over me
"What, how? How did I get here?" I ask him with a scowl, but I can't hold it and I lie back in bed
"Well, you were bleeding –" He starts and I cut him off
"I know what happened to me, but I mean how did you find me?" I say, throwing him a glare
"An alarm went out and since you stopped all contact with us we couldn't tell you that demons were out everywhere, so I was coming to check up on you and I heard your scream." He says and goes red a little. "Please Clary just come back here, at least so you can be safe, I'll stay out of your way."
"Fine." I say. "You don't need to avoid me but please keep your girlfriend or whoever you are with away from me."
"Sure, and I don't have a girlfriend right now." He says with a smirk and a wink. I slap him and laugh. It feels so good to be talking to Jace again, I don't want to admit how much I've missed him.
Jace leaves me to rest and as I settle down into my bed again I feel happier and it's like a weight is off my shoulders.
Jace POV
Why is she mad, I just saved her life! If it weren't for me she would be dead from its poison claws. I really hope she didn't detect the lie I said about coming to check up on her, if she knew I had been following her for a while to make sure she was okay I think I would be dead.
I go to the training room to burn off some steam. Why doesn't she want me anymore? I wish I could stay away from her and just let her continue her life, but I can't. It's like I can never forget her or not see her or talk to her. I don't think she feels the same way.
After a long training with Alec I peel my sweaty t-shirt up and just before I go into my room I peek into Clary's. She is asleep, and she looks so vulnerable and young, I sometimes forget she is a lot braver and stronger than she looks. I shake the thought away and continue up to my room
Clary POV
When I awake all my clothes are in my room and Izzy is next to me. "Hey." I say and stretch as I hop out of bed
"Jace is so pleased you back, you can't believe how much he worried about you when you were gone." She says and then laughs a little at how much she just revealed
I get dressed and follow Izzy out into the institute, it feels so good to be home, I missed being around everyone.
I don't see Jace all day until he walks into the training room while I'm training. I hear him enter but don't turn around to see him. Suddenly he is in front of me with his seraph blade out. He winks and raises his eyebrows a bit. If he wants to fight he'll get a fight.
Jace and I trained for a bit until I was to hungry to continue.
"Clary –" Jace says from behind me and when I turn around to see what he wants his lips crush into mine, I lean up into the kiss a bit. I break off my breathing uneven and then he walks past me in a hurry not saying anything.
