I'd love you if I could

chapter 5 - Shock

A/N: This isn't a long chapter but at least it's a fast update right? As you've probably seen, I changed my penname to immortalrunes.

I forgot to mention in the last two chapters but if you go to my profile, there's a trailer for this story that I made. I would apprieciate it if you take a look at it.

"Life is a big mistake, you just need to make it a good one"

Clary's POV

(Tuesday)

I sighed and shook my head at Lexi's over-excitedness (not sure if that's a word) as she dragged me into the car. She was literally bouncing off the walls.

"Lex, calm down, it's not like you're meeting the queen of England or something." I said as an attempt to calm her.

"Oh, but it's close! She's like the queen of fashion, you should've seen her clothes! Ohmygod,they were like the best, I was so jealous, you'll love her!" She almost shouted, grinning like crazy. I said nothing, and turned the radio up. The song Enchanted by Taylor Swift came on.

"There I was again tonight
Forcing laughter, faking smiles
Same old tired, lonely place

Walls of insincerity
Shifting eyes and vacancy
Vanished when I saw your face

All I can say is it was enchanting to meet you

Your eyes whispered "Have we met?"
Across the room your silhouette
Starts to make its way to me
The playful conversation starts
Counter all your quick remarks
Like passing notes in secrecy"

This song alone almost brought tears to my eyes. There was so many similarities to how I met Jace at the pandemonium. The next song that came on was also by Taylor Swift. Last Kiss.

"I do remember
The swing of your step
The life of the party, you're showing off again
And I roll my eyes and then
You pull me in
I'm not much for dancing
But for you I did

How you kissed me when I was in the middle of saying something
There's not a day when I don't miss those rude interruptions

Never thought we'd have a last kiss
Never imagined we'd end like this

Your name, forever the name on my lips"

Damn Taylor Swift and her surprisingly accurate lyrics. The car ride was silent but I could practically sense the waves of happiness bouncing off of her.

10 minutes later we arrived at the small cafe in the plaza. We parked and went inside. Lexi looked around excitedly. I wonder if this mysterious person would blow off Lexi. That would crush her, Lexi desperately wanted a shopping partner as I refused.

I slowly sipped my latte looking at the door.

Isabelle

(third person POV)

Isabelle rushed around the institute. She looked at her brand new glittering watch that said 10:00. She was supposed to go meet some girl she met at the mall in half an hour.

"Oh, hi Belle, where are you goin?" Isabelle asked Belle who was running as fast as she could with her short little legs.

"To pway with my toys." Isabelle smiled when she said play. Although Belle was 5, and got most of the sounds right, some still troubled her but everybody thought it was adorable.
"Ok off you go,"Isabelle kissed Belle's forehead, and put her back down on the ground.

She then raced out the door.

Clary's POV

I took another look at the clock. It was 10:40. 10 minutes late. I was starting to get worried that this mysterious person wouldn't show up.]

Suddenly, the bells on the door jingled. My head snapped up to the direction of the door.

A bright flash of sparkles reflected from whoever's clothes and hit my eye. I winced at the bright light and blinked to clear my eyes. She was tall, with extra tall heels, which made her really tall. Long black hair, and flashy expensive clothes. She was also wearing a black shaded sunglasses. She turned everybody's heads, and I'm sure the entire female population in the cafe was jealous, including myself.

She began walking over to our table, gazes still on her, but she looked oblivious. She was probably used to it. At that instant, she took off her sunglasses and looked straight at me. I looked up at her, and almost died of surprise. My face was the definition of shock, and she returned it with the same look of her own. One name flashed in my mind.

Isabelle

A/N: Also listen to the mentioned songs by Taylor Swift

Tell me: is the story too slow, or too fast, or just right?
