Clary's POV
As I'm looking for Adley to see how she's doing, I get to her room first and see her at her balcony in her room just standing there. I walk up slowly to her and when I get to Adley I put my hand on her shoulder and she turns to look at me.

"Hey, what are you doing?" I ask her because I'm obviously not going to ask her if she's ok.

"Just taking a moment out here. Away from everything" Adley informs me and I put my arm around her and she rests her head on my shoulder.

"Mom, sorry for asking this but how did you get through grandma's passing?" Adley asks me about my mom and I go back to that time in my life.

"Everyone here helped me through it, especially your father. He was always making sure I was ok. I was able to talk to him about it. A little distraction helped too and with all that I've gotten through it. You will too, I believe so strongly that you can get through it." I encourage my daughter

"It's just weird, I know he wasn't in my life for long but it felt like he was at the same time." Adley tells me

"Well that's because he made such a big impact on your life. He was your first love and your first relationship. Especially how you guys met made your story all the more special. Sure it wasn't love at first sight but something was still there. You especially knew that he needed saving and you saved him. Which made him more special for you." I explain to her and I could tell as I said that she went back on her memories with him. I could just tell, I know my daughter well.

"Yeah, that makes sense I guess." Adley says and can't find anymore words to say. I rub her back and she still has her head on my shoulder and relaxes a bit more.

"Adley look at me" She does and I put my hands on her shoulders. "You're going to get through this. Everything's going to be ok I promise." I say to her and Adley hugs me strongly and in a surprise too and I hug her back. I don't think she knows what to do or say in this time that she's dealing with and that's totally ok.

"Adley, you don't have to tell us how you feel exactly right now. Just take your time and talk to us about it whenever you're ready. No one's pushing you honey." I inform her and she nods on my shoulder. She's not normally this quiet. I honestly don't know what to do because this really isn't like her.

Clary's really having trouble with helping her daughter through this time. Everyone is and Adley is having trouble talking about her true feelings. Will she ever? ❤️
