One night and one more time, thanks for the memories even though they weren't so great.

{Clarys POV}
"I don't like it." He says shaking his head and rising from the kitchen table. I feel like slamming my head on the very same table we've been sitting at for over an hour.
"Jace do you want your work back or not?" He looks at me like i'm dumb
"Of course i do i just don't want to use you as bait! You're my girl-friend friend that's a girl..." he fumbles "that i've had sex with." The sentence was possibly the most awkward thing i've heard in my life.
"Girl thats a friend that you've fucked? That's my title?" I scowl at him and he shakes his head again
"It came out all wrong i don't know what you are exactly." He explains and i can't help but feel offended further.
"I'm Clary!" I throw my arms up like it's obvious and he gives me another one of his looks.
"Yeah too right you're Clary but the problem is Clary to me means my best friends sister, the same girl whose brother has walked in on us in extremely compromising borderline weird positions many times," like every time since my face turns scarlet, he really needs to stop mentioning that
"Clary who i've been friends with forever practically grown up with and loved just as long and at some point the same woman who was the mother to my child!" Despite the mention of the sex i see where he's coming from.
Then again, i am also aware that we appear to be terrified of the word Ex.
"Fine! But this," i point to the notes i've taken in our shopping list notebook "this is the best shot we have." He stares at me, hands on his hips because he knows i'm right but he's just not willing to accept it.
"I just..." he runs a hand over his face "i'd never forgive myself if he hurt you."
I roll my eyes at him and flip the notebook shut "He won't Jace okay."
This only seems to temporally shut him up and i grab my phone to start recording.
"Quick," i direct him " through there to be safe." He grumbles but does as he's told and moves into the hallway.
I hit record.
"Hey! So i've listened to your latest song Nico and i can't express how incredibly moved i am." I begin and think about the lyrics
"I'm- ugh" Jace pokes his head out from the hallway and lifts an eyebrow at me which only makes me smile to myself "I'm sorry if i ever made you feel like you were inferiour or second best because really you're... the most important person in my entire life." Jace slowly slips back into the hall but i continue
"What we had was beautiful, it really was and the thought that we can never get that back destroys me every day, every second that i'm forced to spend without you. Please Nico, we were too good together for it to just end, i love you far too much for it to end like this." I widen my eyes to fight brimming tears and blow a kiss to the camera hitting the button to stop recording and send it to him via imessage.
Jace doesn't come back into the livingroom when i'm done and so i go in search of him.
His cologne wafts around the apartment and leads me to his location in the spare bedroom that he's took it upon himself to occupy.
"Hey," i knock on the doorframe but he doesn't look up from his own phone "i'm finished."
"Yeah, i heard. Pretty convincing Fray." I dont feel like a thank you would go down very well at the moment.
"What's the matter with you?" I ask but he brushes the question off and locks his phone to lean back against the pillows
"What's the plan after this again?" He asks me as if to distract himself from, well, everything in his life at the minute.
