Chapter 4
Jace POV:
I couldn't believe Clary had gone through all of that, and still be the strong woman in front of us.
I still don't know why she left, Isabelle would not tell me.
Why would she leave out of the blue, when it was the day before I was going to propose?
I was practicing what I would say and do with Aline, while she gave criticism to make it better.
Flashback:
"Okay how about… Clary, when you walked into my life a year ago I first thought you were a stuck-up snobby mundane that would be the end o-"
"Do you want her to say yes, right?" Aline interrupted.
"Yea of course, I do." I said as I gave her a of -course look.
"Well than, don't bad mouth her first at your proposal. It makes it sound like you are going to break up with her."Aline advised.
"Okay, how about… The day I met you I was fascinated by your fiery attitude and stubbornness. You refused to leave the Day lighter in the Dumont hotel, showing compassion and loyalty. The more time I spend with you, the more you seem to impress with me something new. You have the brightest spirit I have ever known to meet in a person. Even when I told you to go away, you would always come back, and that is why that I love you with the same burning fire as your hair. I love you with all of my heart, and with that will you marry me?" I said with as much love I felt for Clary.
When I looked up Aline was in tears smiling.
"That was beautiful Jace, and if she doesn't say yes I will." She joked.
"Thanks Aline, and if I know Clary she will."
"Okay well if that's it lets go get the gang and go to Taki's. I'm really hungry now." Aline complained back to her normal self.
Aline and I stepped out of my room to see a note on the ground in front of the door. It smelled like Jasmine and Lavender meaning it was from Clary. I opened it up to see a letter written in Clary's delicate script. I read out loud:
Dear Jace,
So you made your choice, I hear. I hope you have a good life; I am leaving for once and for all. Don't bother looking for me, you won't find me. Know in your heart I always loved you, and always will. I will keep in contact with Isabelle if you want to know how I am. Though I doubt she will tell you, see you someday.
Love,
Clary M.
After reading the letter I dropped it and ran to Izzy's room.
Flashback Ends
After that I searched every institute in the north side of the country. I guess I she got to Seattle after I searched. Izzy never told me where she was, she only told me if she was still alive. I guess even Izzy didn't know about some things because of the shocked expression Izzy had when Clary told her story.
I was snapped back to reality by Izzy's nagging voice to go after Clary.
"Jace, would you snap back. Go after her, she needs support right now." Izzy repeated as I phased back.
"Okay fine, I'm going."
I got up from the chair and went to my room and got on my shadow hunter gear and put on a glamour rune before following the little red head that stole my heart.
