Why Aren't We Normal (The Mortal Intruments Fanfic)

Clary's POV

"Jace?" I called running down the crowded streets of Brooklyn. We should've never gone on this hunt. The demon we were hunting was killing other Shadowhunters. TThat's not Normal. And they were leaving notes behind, asking to see me and Jace.

"Jace!" I hear Isabell shout, her wip cracking at something sshe's trying to hit.

"Clary!" Alec shouts from somewhere I really can't tell.

"Clary, Alec , Isabell!" I hear Jace shout. Then a low pitched scream rises from the direction of Jace's call.

"Jace!" I yell again, tears stinging the backs of my eyes.

I run into Alec and Isabell.

"Guys, I can't find him, " Alec starts.

"Wow, it's real assuring that," Jace starts from the bushes, out of breath "yyou'd never give up looking for me."

"Jace!" I shout running to him.

"Hello to you too," he says.

After a few hours we went back to the institute. I was curled up in Jace's arms, pretending to be asleep. But I really just wanted to have him hold me.

"Jace, Mum is really mad. WWe're late. " Isabell says.

"Well, tell her we'll be there soon., I'm going to drop Clary off at her house. " He says.

"Fine. But don't get Hurt, Mryse will throw a fit." I hear Simon say.

I feel the vibration of Jace's slow and steady steps as he walks down the street, away from Isabell and Alec.

"Jace," I start " I wish I could stay at the institute with you. " I wish mum wouldn't be so strict about where I lived.

"Your mum would never let you," he says looking down at me in his warm arms. "And I don't want you getting hurt."

"How could I get hurt there?" I ask.

"We get some crazy arses in there sometimes. And you wouldn't want to meet Alec and Izzy's dad. He doesn't like strangers. He doesn't even like me. Once, he whipped me with his belt for accidentally falling off the training beam. " He speeks.

"Why would he do that?!" I ask, starting to go into alert mode. L

" He's a strict man. YYou'd be suprised. I wish he hadn't found out about the Valentine thing. He beat me for that. " He says stroking my hair with his hand that wasn't holding me up. Now, I had me arms around his neck and my legs wrapped around his chest.

"I don't want you to leave," I say when we reach my place.

"I have to. Remember, Mryse is mad." He says setting me down on the ground. I stand up.

"Please," I say desperately. "Just for one night?"

"What's wrong, why do you want me to stay all of the sudden?" He asks gripping my shoulders.

"I just feel like ssomething's going to happen. I need you with me just for tonight. " I say gripping his hand. I honestly really want him to stay tonight.

"Fine, I guess," he says. "Just for tonight. "

We walk into the apartment. I'm smiling like a fool and he's gripping my hand tightly, almost as if hhe's afraid of something. I give his hand a reassuring squeeze and walk into the living room.

"Clary." Jocelyn says when she sees us.

"Hey mum, we're just going to sleep. " I say not relizing how bad it sounds.
