Chapter 14

I rolled over again, my legs getting tangled in the sheets. Sleep seemed impossible when my head was thinking about everything that had happened. Jonathan was in jail, Jace and I were back together, my mom was still in a coma, and I had a new home at the Lightwood's mansion. There were so many good things and so many bad things in my life right now. The only thing that made me forget about everything was Jace.

Jace. Just his name filled me up with warmth. Ever since that night in the garden I have felt invincible, knowing he was at my side. When we returned to school he held my hand through the halls and dared anyone to say anything. Word of what had happened with Sebastian spread quickly, but no one wanted to cross Jace.

That was a month ago. After my meeting with Jonathan, I went home and continued on without giving it a second thought. What should it matter anyway? He was in prison now. He couldn't touch me.

I rolled over again and heard a soft knock at my door. I froze and waited for whoever it was to come in. Soft light poured into my bedroom and I heard a light tread make its way to my bed. I relaxed as I felt a familiar hand caress my face. I opened my eyes into gold ones.

"Did I wake you?" He whispered; his voice hoarse and gravelly.

"No," I whispered back," I couldn't sleep." His smirk appeared and he untangled the sheets from my body in a swift motion. I was suddenly glad I had slept in pajama pants instead of the shorts Izzy usually gives me.

"Can I join you?" he questioned. I patted the bed beside me in response. He gracefully got into the bed, pulling the blankets over us and pulling me into his arms. I marveled yet again at how perfectly we fit together.

We didn't talk, but fell into a comfortable silence. I could feel him press his lips into my hair and before I drifted off into a peaceful sleep I heard him murmur, "I love you Clary."

I love you too Jace.

Jace's POV

I woke up in Clary's room with the little redhead wrapped up in my arms. I would be perfectly content with staying like this forever, but I knew I had to do something today. The way I felt about Clary, gosh, I knew I was whipped. I decided to show her how much I loved her.

I was still surprised that I, Jace Wayland, was in a relationship that wasn't based off of sex. Even though it was disorienting, it was very, very pleasant. I would rather spend a day talking with Clary than a minute kissing. But I still really liked it when we kissed.

I slowly unwrapped my arms from around Clary, trying not to wake her. She turned around and muttered my name but it didn't seem like she was awake. Nice to know she was dreaming about me. I crept out of the room and into mine. Pulling on a pair of jeans and a black shirt I thought of what I was going to do.

What if I scared her off? What if she thought I was moving things too quickly? When I told Alec of what I wanted to do his only reply was that if she loved me half as much as I loved her, she would be perfectly fine with this.

I grabbed the piece of paper Izzy gave me off my dresser. When I asked her for Clary's ring size she started to cry and jump around like a little girl. I kept telling her it was just a promise ring but she wouldn't calm down. I eventually just left the room in exasperation.

It was just a promise ring, right? I questioned myself as I got into my car. Sure, I wanted to marry Clary. I realized that when we fell asleep in the garden. I knew I wasn't ready to propose yet and either way we were WAY too young to get married. This was just a promise, I convinced myself. A promise that one day I will marry her, and that my love for her will never end.
