So it's been a while to say the least, and as much as I can say I'm sorry for abandoning you all. I just couldn't bring myself to continue the story with the current state of mind I was in. But never the less, I think my mind is in a better place right now and you continue to enjoy this story.
I was currently standing outside Jace's. It was raining but I couldn't feel the icy drops on my skin any more. Was I really going to do this? Was I really going to shatter everything Jace wanted because of my own selfishness? It wasn't right what Aline was doing to him, maybe I should have let Izzy or well any one else tell him. No, I know Jace he would act like everything is okay but he wouldn't be inside, he'd bottle all his emotions up so he didn't seem any more weaker than what he does around them.
"Izzy thought you'd come here. You going to stand in the rain all night?" Jace said his voice shaking me out of the reviver I was in. Well I guess it was now or never.
Jace guided me upstairs noticing that I was unsteady in the heels Izzy had forced me in. I probably smelt of far too much Jack Daniel's and the amount that I was wasn't doing me any good keeping my mind straight. Jace sat me down on his bed and went to get me a glass of water. I bent down to try and get my shoes off my feet but it wasn't working and I was getting more annoyed with the horrid contraptions on them.
Jace sighed and placed the glass of water on the cabinet next to his bed. He bent down next to me and placed my hands off my shoes and replaced them with his and began untying my shoes. I replaced my phone in my hands, rolling it around in my hands keeping them busy while my mind was still trying to decide whether to do it or not.
"Clare?" Jace mumbled with curiosity.
I looked at him, his eyes so innocent, so unsuspecting of the news that my phone held. The thing inside my hands held so much pain. Jace wiped a stray tear away from my eye, I hadn't even realised that my eyes where glazing over.
"What's happened Clare? Come on, we can tell each other anything."
My mouth moved to form some words, any kind of words but I couldn't speak them, I felt like a fish out of water gasping for air.
He noticed that my hands where playing with my phone and placed his over mine to try and calm me down.
"I.. I didn't want.."
"What didn't you want Clare?"
"I didn't want it to happen.. I didn't want it to be true when you told me.."
"I told you what?" Jace urged me onwards.
"When you told me Aline was pregnant.. but I saw her, tonight at the club."
"Aline wasn't at a club Clare, she was at her Grandma's house."
"I saw her, I heard her Jace, please believe me. She was there."
"Clare, I know it has been hard for you, for us but this is a new low even for you making up excuses to try and force a rift between me and Aline. I didn't think even you would try this." Jace's voice started to raise. "I think it is best for you to leave right now. Sleep off whatever alcohol you have in your system instead of coming to me with lies."
He stood up going to open the bedroom door for me but I was already searching through my phone for the voice clip I had saved. Just as he reached the handle of the door Aline's voice clearly rung through my phone.
"I have that tool right where I want him, the idiot thinks I'm pregnant with his child." Jace stopped gripping the handle door.
"What are you going to do when you're actually meant to have the child" her minion slurred.
"That's the genius part. I can pay the doctor off and make him think that the child is a still born. That was I can keep him all to myself without that stupid ginger getting in the way. Me and Jace, we're meant to be together. It is nature, the best go for the best and we are the best. We will come around to it eventually."
Jace stood there breathing heavily. His hand gripping the door whitening at the pressure.
I walked towards him, placing my hand on his and him relaxing ever so slightly.
"I'm sorry, I'm so sorry." I whispered to him.
I slowly removed his hand from the door and turned him to face me and embraced him into a hug which he slowly relaxed into. I felt his shoulders shaking. I kept whispering how sorry I was to him for however long we stood there.
"I should have known.." Jace whispered "I should have know she'd do something like this to me, to us. I'm so sorry Clare. I'm so sorry that she tore us apart and broke us."
I hug into him tighter. "It isn't your fault, you didn't know she'd be a crazy ass bitch." I mumble into his shirt.
I look Jace in the face, his eyes always show emotions around me, I can tell he is truly sorry for letting Aline do this to me, to him but mostly to us.
"Clary!" Izzy shouted from downstairs, we both sprung away from each other.
"Stay here. I have to go deal with Aline. Mind if I borrow your phone? I'll be back, just stay here please."
I nodded at him and he kissed the top of my head and raced outside past Izzy. I sat on his bed and sighed. Maybe we might get things right finally.
Izzy found me a few minutes later, telling me Jace told her quickly as he raced out. She told me it was probably better if I stayed in Jace's room because when he would get home we'd have a lot to talk about. I'd already decided I'd stay in here because mostly he'd ask and his smell was comforting to me. Izzy left me and I showered and changed into once of Jace's t-shirts and laid in his bed waiting.
"It's over." A familiar voice whispered into my ear awaking me from my slumber. "It's really over, she's never going to interfere with our lives again." I could sense Jace grinning from ear to ear.
"That is the best sounding thing I have heard in forever." I smiled, still waking up.
I rolled onto my side, facing Jace. I opened my eyes, he was grinning, his eyes shining again. I missed that the most.
"And you're still here."
"I always will be Jace."
"I've only ever loved you." Jace confessed, a fact that I knew already.
Just as I was about to tell him the same he attacked my lips furiously. Like when take the first sip of your favourite drink and can't get enough. Rolling me onto my back so he was straddling me. We parted gasping for air.
"I love you too."
"I know." He replied kissing my neck.
We didn't do anything that night, mostly well because I still had a lot of alcohol in my system but more because Jace seemed more happy just holding me. He didn't try anything and I didn't either so we just laid there content to be in each others arms happy in the fact that once again we'd defeated the odds and came back to each other, like we always would, like we always do.
Reviews are always welcome even though I do not reply to them I do read every one of them. I am an awful person because I haven't updated in forever but please do not kill me, I'm already working on the next two chapters which will be added at some point this week.
