Choosing Between Perfect & Perfect

...Again Me?

Clary's pov

Did that just happen? I thought to myself as I walked into Starbucks. Jace loved me. Jace loved me. Jace loved me. No matter how many times I said it in my mind, it still sounded completely impossible.

I mean, he's a beautiful, arrogant, funny, bad boy and I'm just a plain girl with way too many freckles on her face. There's nothing special about me. I felt so bad about how I just walked off, but I didn't know what else to do. I was so shocked.

I spotted Sebastian's white blonde hair, and took a seat in chair across from him.

"Hey." I said to him

"Hey." He smiled to me.

He had gotten us both tall caramel macchiatos. I took a sip of mine and he started to talk.

"How was your talk with Jace?" Sebastian asked casually.

I put my cup down. "Interesting." I mumbled. "So what did you want to talk to me about?"

He put his cup down and cleared his throat. "I really don't know how to say this." He chuckled a bit.

Oh no, what is going to tell me I thought nervously.

"I'm in love with you Clary." The words fall from his mouth in a rush and I cannot believe I am hearing them. For the second time.

"I've loved you since you moved here, and right away I knew I would. I feel like I can talk to you about anything, and around I feel like I can just be myself and not hide anything. Clary, will you be my girlfriend?" He finished nervously.

I just stared at him for a few seconds. How is this happening again?

"Can you give me some time to think about it?" I finally manage to get out.

"Yeah sure." He said a bit disappointed.

I then said goodbye and left. I practically ran to my car, wanting to go home. I took a seat in my car and let out a huge breath. What was I going to do? They both said they loved me. Wait till my mother heard this.

*************************************

"What!!!!" My mother cried as I told her what happened. " I told you! I told you!" She exclaims.

" I know mom." I said while playfully rolling my eyes.

"So who are you going to pick?" She asks excitedly.

"That's the problem, I can't decide. I like both of them equally." I complained.

"Well I think that Jace loves you more." My mother said.

"How can you tell?" I asked her curiously.

"Somehow I can tell. But I'll tell you one thing, when Herondales love someone they love them forever and will risk everything for them." She said.

"Ugh mom what am I gonna do?" I groaned.

"You'll figure it out, don't worry about it baby. And don't forget we're leaving for the Lake house tomorrow." She said and then she kissed me on the forehead and she left my room.

I fell back on my bed and closed my eyes. Today had been crazy.
