Clace after all ✔️

Sobs, Sorrow and Surgery

Jace pov.

After the light took me away I spent a few minutes, maybe hours, thinking in the blinding lights. Thinking about Clary, how i might never see her again, might not see anyone again. From one bright light to another, my eyes flicker open to see a huddle of blurred face hovering above me. The pure white ceiling reminded me of the light; the light that engulfed me just moments ago, the light that set my heart on fire, the light that reminded me of the way i feel when i look at Clary and the light that reminds me of the emptiness of my life without clary in it.

"He's awake," I hear someone say, "Young man, what's your name?" the same person says. i now notice it is the woman standing above my head. as I look around I see I'm moving, being wheeled on a gurney, I'm in a hospital. "Jace," i manage to cough up, "Jace Wayland."

"Okay Jace, do you know what happened?" i go silent at the question, what did happen? I remember sitting in the car with clary then... "Where's clary?" I yell suddenly having all the energy in the world, i try to jump up, which was a big mistake, i try to do anything to get to her but the people, who i assume are doctors, try to calm me, try and lie me back down on the gurney.

"Is Clary the young girl you were with?" the same woman asked. We finally stopped in a room. "before we talk anymore we are just going to move you onto a bed. It may hurt slightly." and with that, they lifted me on to a bed. i positioned myself in a sitting position and watched as all the doctors but two left. I felt a pounding in my head.

One of the doctors was checking my pulse and hooking me up to a heart monitor while the other stood beside me. "So what hospital am I in and where's clary?" I asked looking at the doctor stood beside me.

"we are in St Raziel's hospital. Your friend was rushed into surgery, when the windshield shattered a large piece of glass got embedded in her abdomen she also had internal bleeding. She is currently in the intensive care unit, in a coma." she said keeping her tone as flat as possible. my heart sunk as she told me.

"Can I call someone?" I asked feeling slightly sick, she nods and points to a landline on the wall to my right, she hands it to me after i attempt to reach it, i tell her the number and she types it in. Once i put the phone to my ear the two doctors left me alone in the room. the phone was ringing and with every ring my heart beat got louder and harder. "Hello?" the quiet voice on the other end of the line. "Hi Ms Fray, It's Jace i think you should get down to St Raziel's hospital, there was an accident." i say with desolate in my voice. she was silent, as if she had stopped breathing, i couldn't hear a breath. "Are you okay?" she finely said so quiet that i could barely hear her.

"I'm a bit battered but clary is in worst condition." I replied. i heard her whimper. "I'll be there soon." she said quietly, "oh and sweetie please make sure you take care of yourself before you worry to much about clary." she said before the line went dead, my eyes began to sting with tears. I decided i needed to call Alec, i had to get up to type in the number and as i got it felt like the blood rushed straight to my head, i felt uneasy but i made my way to the phone base.

"Hey Alec, It's Jace, I kinda need you to get to St Raziel's like right now." I announced as i heard the phone connect. I heard his breath catch in his throat. "What happened?" he asked after a moment of silence.

"There was an accident." the line went dead and i put the phone on the hook and lay back down, my head felt like it was palpitating. The doctor that told me about clary came back in a few moments later.

"Have you called your parents?" she asked and I nodded not knowing if i had the strength to talk. "Do you want to know about your condition?" She asked probably seeing my weakness, and i just nodded.

"You have to cracked ribs, you had a small piece of glass lodged in your shoulder but we retrieved it and stitched it while you were unconscious, your shoulder is now in a bandage, you have a slight concussion and a few scratches." she lists reading from a clipboard. My jaw went slack as she listed my issues. "So I'm going to fine?" i asked mustering up the strength to speak.

"Yes hun you'll be ship shape and ready to head home in a couple of days after we take some time to see that your okay and get you on some strong antibiotics." she smiled. i was able to return a small sickly smile.

"And Clary?"

"Well sweetie she was in bad shape when the paramedics got to you two. Her seat belt had relaxed to much so her neck head was rested in an unnatural position that may have resulted in spinal injuries, she obtained significant abdominal injuries from broken glass and she broke a rib that punctured her lung. She is stable and it's looking like she will be okay but as i told you she is comatose, she is being helped by machines to breathe." and with that description, my heart broke and the tears i had been fighting so hard finally trailed down my cheeks. She frowned and touched my shoulder trying to comfort me. "Jace!" i heard a familiar voice shout from the door, i looked up to see Alec, Izzy and Simon stood there; their mouths agape, surprised at my tear stained face. Izzy rushed over and hugged me tightly, I winced in pain as i felt a stabbing pain in chest. Izzy noticed my sudden jolt and stepped back, "Sorry." she frowned

"Its okay." i said reassuringly.

"I'll leave you to talk to family, there is a call button beside your bed if you need anything." she announced over her shoulder as she walked toward the door. "Thank you," I replied before she exited the door. Once we were left alone I told them everything about what i can remember and what the doctor, whose name tag read 'Dr. Wesley', had said and Izzy began to cry as i told her about Clary, Simon hugged her tightly to his chest as she weeped.

"Go and ask Dr. Wesley if you can see her." she looked at me with guilt evident on her face. "Please go i need to know that she has someone she loves with her." she nodded, determination written across her face. She as a woman with a mission. she marched out of the room dragging Simon behind her, throwing a quick 'Love you' over her shoulder.

"So your okay?" Alec said turning away from where Izzy had just left. A comforting smile on his face, but his furrowed brows showed his frustration.

"Yes Alec, just a bit bruised, it seems Clary took most of the damage." I frowned and averted my gaze from his. "It seems so." he said with a small, quiet voice, filled with sorrow.
