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

Back in the palace.

Clary's POV.

I wish I could leave. Go away. This is the place where bad things happen. Where people come to be saved, yet still die. And when the runes don't work, this is the last. Final resort. Also known as the hospital.

I walk through the hallways with Izzy and Alec on the opposite sides of me. Max crying silently behind us, and Myrse shaking her head and holding back tears while she talks to Jace's doctors.

I glance to the right of me, where my boyfriend lays, dead, next to me. Tears fill my eyes when Myrse reads off the last words to my fallen Shadowhunter. My friend.

"Goodbye, Jace. " I hear Izzy sob next to me. Alec leans against Mangus as he strokes Alec's hair. Then there's me. I'm standing in the center of the room with everyone circled around me and Jace. I break down and fall to my knees. I put my head in my hands and lay down next to Jace's bed.

After a while we leave. I'm dead inside and barely breathing. It all came suddenly. Out of no where. But I can't imagine how, or if I'm going to get back at his murderer. And I know just who it is. Sebastion.

"Clary, dont go. " Someone's voice rings in my head. Then my own. " I will never leave you, Jace. " I hate flashbacks. All I see is his face on strangers in the streets. His joyfull laugh when we play around with eachother, or kill off some dumb ass demon. But I'm only scared I will see it in Sebastion. The demon of my world. The ender of my happiness, Jace's killer.

"Well, back in the ugly palace, I see. " Hodge's voice rises from the stacks of books.

"Shut up, Hodge. Jace's dead. I want his stele." I say kicking him in the stomach for his ignorance.

"Fine. " He says. His hand goes into the see through glass box and pulls out a stele. I rip in from his hand and run away.

"Thanks, Hodge. " I hear a man's voice say behind me. I turn immediately, hoping for the best. And I get it.

I see my Jace standing there. His hair perfect as ever. His strong arms folded in his signature pose.

"Jace?" his voice sounds fantastic Ads he asnwers, "yep. It's me. "

I run up and squish him in a hug, but I felt him wince slightly. I lighten my touch when his arms slide across my back, a touch that feels foreign, but farmilliar.

"I missed you so much!" I say into his shoulder, tears of joy comming from my eyes.

"I missed you too. Did you guys really think you could kill me off the easily, though?" he asks. I giggle.

"No, Jace. I'm so happy your here!" I say happily.

' Alive, but barely breathing, '

"Jace, are you still, uhh.., depressed?" I ask him awkwardly.

"Yeah. Sorry. I'm trying. I've been taking the pills like I'm suppose too. I haven't hurt myself. " He says, swinging me up in his arms.

"Please, don't hurt yourself. Alec and Izzy and Max, we missed you. We need you. Myrse even cried when you died. Please, Jace. Don't leave us. " I say crying unto his shoulder a we walk out of Hodge's palace.

"I won't. I promise. " He says. For the first time in a very long time I feel safe. I feel like I'm under lock and key when I'm in his arms, but I have to let him have a break. He just went through a major depression. He lost about 16 lbs in 2 months. And he's getting weaker.

I climb out of his arms and look up at him.

"Why can't we be normal?" I ask.

" Because normal is too boring. If we were normal, we wouldn't have meet. But, If we were, you would be safer. " He says.

"I love you!" I say.

"I love you too. " He replies
