Chapter 2: Perfect

I watched you sleepin' quietly in my bed

You don't know this now but

There's somethings that need to be said

And it's all that I can hear

It's more than I can bear

What if I fall and hurt myself

Would you know how to fix me?

What if I went and lost myself

Would you know where to find me?

If forgot who I am

Would you please remind me?

Oh, cause without you things go hazy.

Clary's laughter rung out, soft and happy, the sound bringing a bright smile to his face, not one of his godlike smirks, but a real smile. A smile that Clary wished she saw more often. They were sitting in Central Park, sitting on the grass underneath a tree's gentle shade. Hiding them from the heat of the hot August afternoon.

"Jace?" Clary murmured her voice soft and gentle.

"Hmmm?"

"Do you- do you think we will be like this forever?" she asked, her voice faltering slightly. "Happy and together?"

"Of course." He said.

Clary sat leaning against the great oak, his head in her lap. Her small fingers combed their way through his golden hair. His eyes were close and peaceful, all the tension had gone out of his face, as he lay there. Out of his entire body really. He just seemed so… relaxed.

A tendril of doubt sneaked into her mind though, Isabelle told her that that was what they all said, and Izzy would know seeing as she had dated more then twenty guys for Clary's two. Come on Clary, she thought, fairytales aren't real, there's almost never a happy ending. Almost.

She didn't want it to end. She wanted to stay like this, happy and content forever, and maybe she could.

"Jace?" She asked again her voice still as gentle as before.

"How do you know?"

Jace's golden eyes opened, to fall upon her face. "Because," He said lifting his hand to push a tendril of her fiery hair behind her ear, looking directly into her eyes.

"Because, Clarissa Fray, I love you."

When he said those words, Clary's heart squeezed in her chest, and leaning down she pressed her lips to his. They melded together perfectly almost like pieces of a jigsaw puzzle.

She pulled back and looked at the gorgeous boy before her, with his smoldering eyes and hard lean body, lying there with his head in her hands.

"I love you to."
