Chapter 1
Ever since the school year started, Jace tried to dodge all the girls that followed him.
To everyone else, he might look lucky and guys are certainly jealous of him but truthfully, he can't wait to be forgotten and ignored by all the ladies. Okay, maybe at first he loved all the attention but when it got too much, he realized that it was a bad thing.
On the way to his next class, he passed by the school auditorium.
And he heard a voice.
Not just any other ordinary, simple voice.
It was like an angel singing. A goddess even.
Clary didn't know what compelled her to go to the auditorium. She knew that she'll be in trouble if she was caught fiddling with the piano there.
But she can't help it. Playing the piano reminded her of him. His long slender pianist fingers that can create music out of a single key. He was the one who taught her how to play and ever since, when he's not with her, she'll be seen by her parents in front of a piano.
Before she could stop herself, she sang along to the melody.
Looking out from underneath,
Fractured moonlight on the sea
Reflections still look the same to me,
As before I went under.
And it's peaceful in the deep,
Cathedral, where you cannot breathe,
No need to pray, no need to speak
Now I am under.
They both know the song, it was their song. Only they knew the depth and importance of the song to both of them. She suddenly remembered the last day that they had; they were in the meadow, gazing up at the stars. Everything was silent, peaceful even. Neither of them acknowledged the fact that their significant pair won't be with them tomorrow evening.
Then he said "Clary can you promise me one thing?"
"What is it?"
"Just promise me that even if something happened to each of us, we'll never forget each other."
"Are you crazy? Of course I won't forget you."
And it's breaking over me,
A thousand miles onto the sea bed,
found the place to rest my head.
Never let me go, never let me go.
Never let me go, never let me go.
And the arms of the ocean are carrying me,
and all this devotion was rushing out of me,
And the crashes are heaven, for a sinner like me,
The arms of the ocean deliver me.
With the promise still clear to her memory she delivered the last tone. He broke his promise. She's nothing but forgotten. When he left her, he didn't even call her.
Her train of thoughts stopped when a clapping sound echoed throughout the room.
Shit. Clary assumed.
When she looked at the source of the applause, her breathe hitched. He's here.
