I'm soo happy people are actually reading this and enjoying it.

Enjoy!


Clary drove to her house with dread. She wanted to save her marriage, but at the same time, she didn't know what she wanted anymore. As Clary pulled into the driveway, she considered ditching the idea.

Everything her brain screamed at her, her heart countered. She eventually got enough courage to get out of the car and go to the door. She was immediately thrown off by the camera

Jace opened the door, and when he saw Clary, his eyes held hope and shock. "Clary?" he asked. "Come in. You came back...I-"

Clary went into the "Save it Jace." she responded curtly. "I came here to get my things and to propose a plan. I'll do marriage counseling with you, but if I'm not happy I'm leaving for good."

He visibly relaxed. "Thank you Clary, thank you so damn much. I swear I won't let you go, no matter what."

She smiled at him politely. "I'm doing this because you've always been a big part of my life. I didn't marry you just to divorce you. Now, the other reason I came here. I need to get my stuff...all of it."

He looked at her with realization in his eyes. "Clary...please...don't move out b-"

She shot him a hard look. "This isn't your decision to make. I need time away from you, and you need time away from me. We need to schedule an appointment, preferably as soon as possible."

Jace had a hard time listening to her. This Clary was formal, and uncomfortable with him. He hated that he hurt her and that he wasn't there for her. Jace was selfish, because he knew Clary could get a better man.

As much as he wanted to do counseling and repair their marriage, he secretly wanted to let her go so she could be happier.

But for now, he would try his best to repair their marriage.


Clary stayed for another hour or so. In that time, she managed to get all of her possessions in her car discreetly. If the public saw the pictures, they would probably assume she was donating some old things. She and Jace got an appointment tomorrow, but she felt reluctant.

Did she really want to stay with him? His past was bad, horrible even. Jace's parents died in a car crash when he was 10, and he was adopted by the Lightwoods. In the years following the adoption, Jace was a player.

He was horrible to Clary at first. But he never stopped pushing to get her attention. She gave in to him one day, and she didn't regret it.

Till last night.

The feeling of betrayal rushed through her all over again. How could he? He knew Clary had a horrible life, even worse than his in all fairness. He had a good life for ten years...and the first family he went to treated him like their own son.

She on the other hand had an abusive life for 13 years, and even after she was with Luke, the bullying st school never stopped.

Thoughts flooded her brain. Why should she stay with the very boy who bullied her in high school all of freshman year? Why should she stay with a cheating, neglectful man who was changing back into a player?

Did she even love him anymore? When Clary thought about it long and hard, she realized how she was in love with the idea of love. Love used to seem so simple, yet beautiful back then.

Now, it was just complicated. It hurt. What did she ever do to deserve this?

Clary hoped that the counseling could help.

But a small voice in her head told her it wouldn't matter...because the Jace she loved was long gone.


Clary went to Luke's house, and told him everything. She told him how she felt, what she wanted, and how confused she was. He was an amazing father, and Luke told her to follow her heart.

She couldn't feel anything. She was in so much pain from the events of yesterday. When Clary had seen Jace that morning, she wanted to scream. If he wanted to fix their marriage, he was going to have to work hard for it.

Because nobody, and I mean NOBODY, fucks with Clarissa Fray and gets away with it.

At the moment, Clary was in her old room in Luke's house staring at the e-mail she received months ago. She never told Jace this, but someone in Paris had noticed her work and loved it.

Apparently, Clary's art was extraordinary, and a very prominent art society there, the FAS (French Art Society, and I made it up lol) was offering to teach her various styles of art.

She hadn't replied yet...but now, she wanted to more than anything. There was a number in the e-mail, which told her to check the time in France and then call from 8am to 9pm.

She decided to call them later...just in case she changed her mind about Jace. Which she knew was highly unlikely.


Jace stayed home the whole day, his thoughts on Clary. He couldn't believe he was getting this opportunity...but in hi heart, he knew she wasn't the same. the way she looked at him wasn't a look of love.

It was more of a trapped look. If she felt trapped in their marriage, Jace knew he would lose himself completely. Clary was the first girl he had opened up to, and the first girl he had truly loved.

But he ruined everything by cheating. He was an asshole, and he knew it.

Jace hoped that Clary would find it in her heart to love him, but if she didn't, he knew he could never move on. And if she moved on and found another man...he would lose himself.

He felt lost, stuck in one place. Something told him Clary wasn't going to stay in their marriage.

He hoped he was wrong.
