      Shock. Clary was on stage singing and dancing to some country song. I thought she was to scared to sing in front of anyone. God. Her voice is still as beautiful as the first time I heard her sing.

                           🎒FLASHBACK🎒

"Damn fuckin demons." I mutter under my breath as I walk through the institute towards my room. After I shower and dressed I head to the kitchen to find a snack.

'What the heck is that?' I think as I walk past the music room. I open the door and see Clary singing and spinning around. I lean up against the door frame and just listen to her voice. Damn she's amazing.

YEAH        YEAH      YEAH               WHAT YOU GOT         IF YOU AIN'T GOT LOVE

THE KIND YOU JUST WANT TO GIVE AWAY          IT'S OKAY TO OPEN UP

GO AHEAD AND LET THE LIGHT SHINE THROUGH      I KNOW IT'S HARD ON A RAINY DAY

YOU WANNA SHUT THE WORLD OUT AND JUST BE LEFT ALONE

BUT DON'T RUN OUT OF YOUR FAITH

CAUSE SOMETIMES THAT MOUNTAIN YOU'VE BEEN CLIMBIN      IT JUST A GRAIN OF SAND

AND WHEN YOU'VE BEEN OUT THERE SEARCHING FOREVER         IS IN YOUR HANDS

AND WHEN YOU FIGURE OUT LOVES ALL THAT MATTERS AFTER ALL

IT SURE MAKES EVERY THINGELSE            SEEM SO SMALL

After she finishes she stands there and I sneak up behind her. I grab her waist and pull her to my chest as I whisper in her ear. "You should sing more often. Your amazing."

  She looks at me startled, "I don't sing in front of people Jace. I get stage fright."

            🎒FLASHBACK OVER🎒

   "Ok. This next song I wrote. So tell me what you think." Clary says while looking straight back at our table.

IT DOESN'T HURT    WHEN I THINK OF YOU

AND ALL THE THINGS WE'LL NEVER GET TO DO    I DON'T DREAM AT NIGHT ABOUT THE WAY WE WERE

I TORE OUT THE PICTURES CROSS OUT THE ALL THE WORDS   

DON'T BE FOOLED BY ALL MY TEATS          CAUSE EVERYTHING IS FINE

AND YOU CAN PICK UP ALL THE PIECES      THAT YOU LEFT BEHIND

CAUSE I NEVER THINK ABOUT YOU         I'M BETTER OFF WITHOUT YOU

I DON'T MISS YOU AT ALL       YOU DON'T SPIN AROUND IN M HEAD

IT'S LIKE YOU NEVER EXISTED AND I HOPE YOU NEVER CALL

I DON'T MISS YOU AT ALL     AND I'M NOT TRYING TO FIGHT IT

NO I'M NOT TRYING TO FIGHT IT          SO YOU CAN CROSS MY NAME RIGHT OFF THE WALL

I DON'T MISS YOU AT ALL         I GO OUT SEVEN NIGHTS A WEEK

IT FEELS GOOD TO FINALLY  BE FREE          AND PARTY LIKE NEVER DID BEFORE

OH WHAT IN THE WORLD WAS I WAITING FOR       EVERYTHINGS PERFECT NOW

WITHOUT YOU IN MY LIFE            YOU CAN PICK UP ALL THE PIECES THAT YOU LEFT BEHIND

CAUSE I NEVER THINK ABOUT YOU        I'M BETTER OFF WITHOUT YOU

I DON'T MISS YOU AT ALL        YOU DON'T SPIN AROUND IN MY HEAD

IT'S LIKE YOU NEVER EXISTED          AND I HOPE YOU DON'T CALL

AND I'M NOT TRYING TO FIGHT IT         NO I'M NOT TRYING TO FIGHT IT

SO YOU CAN CROSS MY NAME RIGHT OFF THE WALL       I DON'T MISS YOU AT ALL

I'LL JUST TELL MYSELF YOU'LL FORGIVE THE PAST

NO TIME FOR REGRETS NOMORE LOOKING BACK         I'LL FORGIVE YOU MORE EVERY SINGLE DAY

 EVERY STEP I TAKE IS GETTING BETTER          CAUSE I NEVER THINK ABOUT YOU

I'M BETTER OFF WITHOUT YOU       I DON'T MISS YOU AT ALL       I DON'T MISS YOU AT ALL

YOU DON'T SPIN AROUND IN MY HEAD        IT'S LIKE YOU NEVER EXISTED       

AND I HOPE YOU DON'T CALL           I DON'T MISS YOU AT ALL     AND I'M NOT TRYING TO FIGHT IT

NO I'M NOT TRYING TO HIDE IT             SO YOU CAN CROSS MY NAME RIGHT OFF THE WALL

I DON'T MISS YOU AT ALL           I DON'T MISS YOU

   "Wow. I guess that was her way of saying she doesn't miss you. Jace" Izzy says after the song ends.

"I'm her best friend and I didn't know she could sing like that." Simon says in awe.

"I did." I said as I just stared at her. Creepy? Yes. Wrong? No.

"Ok. I hope all liked that song now I'm gonna do one more  song then i'm gonna take five." Clary says after getting a drink out off her water bottle.

    Ten minutes later Clary walks up to our table. "What are you guys doing here?" she asks.

"We are here to celebrate Alec's  birthday. "Magnus says while leaning back on the chair he was in. As Alec glares at him.

"Well from the looks Alec is giving you. I don't think he wants to be here." Clary laughs as she pulls out a chair beside Magnus.

      Magnus just sticks his tongue out at her before pulling Alec into a heated kiss.

     Four and a half hours later everyone is leaving. Izzy and Simon head toward the institute. Alec and Magnus head towards Magnus's flat. As I stand out side the door waiting on Clary to come out and she does after thirty minutes carrying a passed out Ryder.

"Hey. Do you need some help?" I ask as I fall into step beside her as she walks to her car.

"Sure. Can you open the door? Please." she says with a small smile.

  After she has Ryder buckled in I ask, "Do you mind if I ride with you. I want to talk to you."

She looks at me for a moment then nods her head yes.
