Jaces POV
It had been a week after Max came to visit, I spoke with him every day on the phone. Clary and I have not spoken about what had happened last week, I know it is very childish of us but it was just in the heat of the moment. We had gone almost back to normal, though now when we sit together on the couch we only sit, we rarely touch. Its kind of odd and I dont like not being able to mess with her and be comfortable, but this is for the best.
For the past two days Clary has been sick, not real badly but coughing aching and not being able to eat anything but toast. This has been hard on me because I've been doing more stuff on my own. This afternoon I was even able to cut up an apple for a snack. When I showed clary she smiled and started going on about how much progress I've made until she started coughing.
I placed my hand on her shoulder as she started coughing, when she stopped she looked pale and tired. "Here Clary why dont you lay down here on the couch, I'll just pull up a chair" she nodded and laid her head on the armrest. "Hey clary" I spoke gently. "just go to sleep, you look like you haven't slept in days" after I said this she mumbled and unrecognizable response and shook her head.
within 5 minutes she was asleep and I was left to fend for myself. I grabbed my laptop and started playing random games. It was around 12:00 and I was getting hungry, I looked up the name of the diner we went to a while ago and learned that they delivered food.
Hoping that this would make Clary feel good I clicked on the little soup icon and brought it to the little shopping cart. Once i had gotten a chicken sandwich and typed in the address of our apartment. I walked into my room and grabbed my suit case, in there I had 200 dollars stashed away, i know it sounds like a lot but this was a gift from Alec, he had been saving this up for him and his boyfriend to go somewhere when he got home. But when he died he had told Will, a tall boy with dark hair, to give it to me.
I never understood why he gave this to me but today I could help out Clary, giving her a day off from cooking.
I grabbed a 20 dollar bill and when back to the chair I pulled. When I looked at the computer screen it said that our delivery person would be here in 5 minutes. I took a deep breath and started playing out what I was going to do in order to keep calm.
alright Jace you got this, breathe. This i all for clary, it will help her. Just think of her, be strong for her, you cant rely on her today.
I kept repeating this to myself until I heard a knock at the door, I got up and taking a deep breath I walked to the door and opened it. There was a girl with auburn hair, her name tag said seelie. She had a fake tan and fake smile. When she saw me she reached in her pocket and placed a piece of paper in our bag. Breathing hard I gave her the 20 dollar bill and grabbed our food. I had barely grabbed my change before I closed the door in her face.
I set our food on the counter and sat back down in the chair, I needed to calm down before I ate. I felt physically sick, I closed my eyes and breathed, it didn't help at all. I walked over to Clary and flet her forehead, it was cold and clammy. I went to my bed and grabbed a random blanket, carefully laying it over her. Just doing something for Clary made me feel better and I knew that I should eat before I woke Clary up to eat.
As I dug around in the bag I pulled out the box that would be mine, then I saw the small peice of paper the delivery girl slipped in my bag. It was her number, I just rolles my eyes and threw the paper in the trash. I knew what girl I wanted, the girl that was perfect for me.
After I was done eating i looked to clary, she was still asleep and was rwitchingvin her sleep, she looked so unhappy.
i walked over to her and kneeled on the ground, i placed my hand on one of her shoulders, shaking them I sai. "Clary, hey wake up I got some soup for you" finally she say up.
"Jace where'd you get this?" I told her my whole story though I left out the girl giving me her number.
Clary said nothing after that and with her eyes drooping she stopped eating, "hey Jace some sit by me" she sounded half out of it so I wasn't sure. "Uh clary are you sure" she smiled. "Yeah Jace I just want to talk." Unsure I walked over and sat by her.
"Jace what you did was very independent. You are making so much progress, you faced someone on your own, with you doing so good i probably only have" she was falling asleep on my shoulder. "Clary shhh just go to sleep" I stood up and gently laid he back down. I needed someone who knew what to do.
I picked up the phone and dialed one of the 3 numbers I know. "Hello, Izzy. Hey im sorry and I know you dont know her well but Clary is sick and I dont know what to do. Please help" her response was full of worry. " oh Jace are you alright, what a. I saying is she Ok. Yeah Jace Ill be there in an hour. Tell clary to sleep and drink water." I told her that she was asleep and that she ate half a cup of soup. "And izzy?" I said "yeah jace". "Thank you so much, I dont think Clary has slept in days and now, well she wont feel so bad knowing you're here".
With that I hung up and looked back to Clary who was mumbling something unrecognizable again.
Awehhhhh so sweet, you guys wanna guess whos numbers he knows?
