TMI fanfic sequel

Rowan

Third person POV:

The gang arrived at the club at almost 11. The second they entered the club Clary was hit by flashing lights and deafening music. Izzy and Simon were already on the dancefloor and Alec and Magnus were at the bar ordering drinks which left Jace and Clary standing there awkwardly to the side of the dance floor. Just then Maia Roberts stumbled over

"Clary!? WHOOO CLARY MORGERNSTERN IS BACK PEOPLE!!" She yelled over the club and there was a resounding cheer, from the roughly 9 people who heard. Clary recognised a lot of the downworlders in the club from the war. "They loooove you clarry, youu helped win the war" she was slurring her words, she was clearly drunk as hell. She grabbed both Clary and Jace's hands and sped them across the dance floor near to the DJ booth. "HEY BABE!" Bat who was DJing did not hear her "BABE! BAT!" Still no answer "BARTHOLOMEW!" He finally noticed and looked down and smiled, he saw clary and turned back to the controls, hit a few button and voila, the room was soaked in deep blue lights. 

"Alright folks, this next one is for a good friend to all of us Clary Morgenstern, sorry clary we don't have blue banners for when  our lost return but we do have disco lights!!" He said into the microphone. Now everyone cheered. Not 30 seconds later Lily Cheng had come over talking to Clary, everywhere in the club there was someone who wanted to talk to her, thank her, tell her how she helped them. Meanwhile Jace stuck by her side every step of the way, almost protecting her. Her own personal bodyguard, just like he had been before she left. She had to admit she had missed him, a lot.

They'd been in club for hours now, they'd all had a really good time, but it was now about 1AM so they had to leave for their patrol shift. Walking down the street it was cold and dark. Clary and Izzy were walking a few feet back from the guys, gossiping. Then Magnus broke away and came to walk with them

"Biscuit, I have a very serious questions and I need a very serious answer..." 

"Okay... What's up?" Clary answered hesitantly 

"You wanna tell me what's going on with you and angel boy over there?"

"Magnus... It's been three years it's bound to be a little awkward, i've been here for like less than 24 hours and it's gonna take time, time that we don't have. I can't stay once we find the guy who's trying to kill me, I'm going back to my apartment and college and all of it. I'm sorry but I can't stay here. Beside I dont think Jace's girlfriend would like it if I moved back in..." 

"How did you find out about her?" Izzy asked 

"I saw him message her... What you thought it would just be secret forever? What if I did decide to stay? 'Oh don't worry Clary, that's just Jace's friend, they just make out sometimes... back to wedding planning'?? I don't care that he's moved on, it's his life. I'm happy, he's happy"

"Well we just weren't going to tell you straight away... When you came back we were so shocked and we thought everything would just go back to normal, but we realised everything is far from what it was when you were here"

"Yeah it's very different than what I remember" They seized talking about it and got on with patrolling. They finished patrolling the streets of New York at about 5AM and all Clary wanted to do was go to sleep. They got back to the institute and as they were walking through the main hall Clary heard her name shouted by a woman, she turned around to see almost an older version of herself

Clary POV:

"Mom!" I ran over and hugged her so tight. I had missed her so much, I had been used to living a mundane life with my mom, but not without her. "I missed you so much! Where have you been?" 

"Well I got back last night and I just woke up, but i've been in Idris this whole time, meeting with the consul she needed help with something back home, something to do with Helen and Aline. I missed you so much honey!"

"Jace!!" There was a squeak from behind me I turned around to see a brunette haired girl run over to Jace. She jumped and wrapped her arms around his neck and her legs around his waist. He held her as they kissed. Not a small peck, but a passionate, a kind of 'I missed you so much, don't ever leave again' type of kiss. I felt like the whole world collapsed in front of me, I felt like my heart had just shattered into a million pieces. I felt, broken. 

I did not let it show though. I could not let it show. I would be leaving in a few days and I would never see him again. They pulled away and they smiled at eachother, then Jace looked over at my awkward face and he lost his smile. That's exactly what I didn't want to happen, he deserves to be happy. It was my mom who broke the silence first

"Clary! This is Rowan Nightwell, she moved to the New York Institute about 2 years ago. She accompanied me to Idris to see the consul, it was her first time meeting Jia, she was a little starstruck" Mom chuckled introducing us. I held out my hand for her to shake, she looked a little taken aback, as if she wasn't expecting politeness from me. "Seems to still be a little starstruck" mom chuckled again. Rowan gave her a look that said 'don't embarass me please'. I smiled and calmed myself down a bit. I smoothed down my dress and said

"Ignore her, it's nice to meet you Rowan, I'm Clary." I said with a smile plastered to my face. I looked over to Izzy and she smiled a little and nodded her head, she knew what I was doing whereas Jace, Simon, Alec, Magnus and even mom were oblivious. 

"Hi, It's amazing to  meet you i've been a fan of yours since the war. You're like, famous!" I just chuckled, she was being nice and we both understood how awkward this actually was. I wasn't just famous on my own, it was always Clary and Jace. Valentines children. Emma Carstairs once said we were the it couple of the shadow world, but I'm pretty sure that was just her who thought that. Rowan would have heard all about me not just from being Jace's ex. 

"Aw you're so sweet! Look it was really nice meeting you but I am in desperate need of some sleep, I'll see you guys later!" I said and I walked away keeping the happy face until I was safely in my room. I didn't feel anything all while I went through the shower, got changed, but when I layed on my bed and stared at the wall for a few minutes tears started streaming down my face. He was happy. Without me. He didn't need me. None of them do, they all have eachother. I cried myself to sleep and dreamed of old times...
