Clary lay with her head on Jace's chest. She couldn't believe he was already leaving. She couldn't believe that their three days were already up. At least now the skeptics could say they knew each other six days instead of three. That didn't make her feel any better. She wished he would just stay. She just couldn't ask him. She couldn't take the opportunity away from him. She never planned to either.

"Are you sure you're going to be okay?" He asked

"Yes." Clary answered short and plainly. She snuggled herself deeper into him and he gripped her waist holding her close.

"I love you Clary." He whispered in her ear. Clary gasped. Sure, he had said it to her over the phone and had texted her it, but it was the first time she heard the words come out of his mouth in person.

"I love you too." She whispered without even knowing she said it.

Jace smiles down at her, "I can't wait until my tour is over, so I can see you way more often."

Clary feels guilty. "You shouldn't feel that way. Music is your passion."

Jace again smiled. "I just found something I'm a little more in love with, now didn't I." He stopped for a second to let the point sink in. "What are some of your favorite things to do?"

Clary smirked. He didn't even know how similar they were. He already knew of her passion to sing like him but he didn't really know much else.

"I absolutely love to draw, paint, and anything else to can create with my own hands."

Jace grinned wider than she had ever seen before. "Why didn't you tell me?" He asked. "If you love it so much."

Clary shrugged. "I kinda stopped after…Jonathan."

Jace bent down and kissed her softly. "You shouldn't have stopped what you loved for him. He isn't worth it. He doesn't deserve the satisfaction of taking that away from you too."

Clary felt guilty. She didn't know why she told him that. She could've kept the happy mood, but no. She had to ruin it. Just like she ruins everything.

"You said you loved me?" She whispered.

"Yes I did Clary. I do."

"Why?"

He looked at her. He was speechless. She didn't know why it was a simple question. If he would've asked her, she could've answered in a heartbeat.

"Why, Jace?" She repeated.

"I love everything about you Clary. I love how smart and talented you are. I love how strong you are and how well you can handle yourself. I love your personality, how beautiful you are on the inside and out. You're my everything Clary and I can't imagine my life without you."

He flipped her on top of him. Clary liked it when he did that. It made her feel safe, in control. Clary was almost positive he did it because of Jonathan. He knew what Jonathan had done and he had saved her from him. She would always love him for that. No matter where life took them.

Jace began to kiss her like she was the drug he was addicted to and Clary responded just as he was kissing her. It was obvious he had way more experience than her. The only experience she had with boys was her brother. The person who took everything from her. He took it in a heartbeat. He never cared. Just like her father never cared either.

Jace stopped kissing her and lifted up her shirt so it rested right below her bra. She could see the look of horror cross over his face as he saw her scars. She appreciated that he tried to keep his surprise in.

"It's ugly, I know." Clary whispered. Jace began tracing one of her scars.

"No. It's a part of you. Everything about you is beautiful." He kissed some of the scars on her stomach and she let out a sigh. It felt nice to relax.

"You just ask me and I'll stay." Jace said after a while. Clary shook her head.

"I would never ask that from you."

"You could if you wanted to."

"Well I don't want to. I of course want you to stay, Jace, but you need to go out and explore the world. You'd end up resented me if you didn't." Clary said.

"I love you." Jace said again. "I love you, I love you, I love you." He put down her shirt and scooted back up so they were face to face lying down. "How am I supposed to survive without you for another six months?"

"Love." Clary answered. "If you love me like I love you, we'll get through."

She knew that they would get through as he pulled her head towards him and their lips locked. What did six months matter when they had a lifetime?

He pulled away. "Just promise me you won't cut again. If you ever feel like you have to call me and I'll answer. It doesn't matter if I'm on the stage or whatever I will answer."

"I promise Jace." She said. And she really really meant it.

Hey guys! I'm so proud of myself! This is the second chapter in twenty four hours. I think it's easier and quicker for me to write now that I have a computer of my own. I use to write on my tablet and that was just blah! It took me too long to type on there. Keyboards are much easier!

Anyway, thanks for reading. Please tell me what you though by reviewing. Honestly guys reviewing with positive and detailed comments really make me want to write more. So please review!

I also am going to start doing this new thing in my author's notes if I remember. I'll give you a book that I recommend that I have already read just in case you are looking for something to read.

Magnus Chase and the Gods of Asgard:By Rick Riordan. If you love the PJO/ HOO you will love this book! I promise you!

Hey and also if you want more stories written by me I have several more in my bio. They are all Fablehaven, Percy Jackson, TMI (obvi), and I think that's it. I have a couple one-shots complete and a Fablehaven story complete if you wanna go check out those.
