Chapter 16

here is this indescribable feeling you get when everything falls into place. You feel infinite and indestructible; you're at the top of the world.

That's how I felt now. My mom was awake and healthy. Jace and I had smoothed out all the little bumps couples usually go through and we were spending all the time we could together. I even stopped by the diner to see Luke. Izzy and Simon had gone to see a doctor and found that Izzy was going through depression and even they were working things out.

Life was good.

I was currently living with my Mom at Luke's farmhouse. I knew they were close but now they were acting like a couple. They would steal glances at eat other and hold hands under the table as if no one could notice. It wasn't until Jace and I came home from school one day that I figured it out.

My mom was sitting on the couch with Luke, crying, and he was beaming from ear to ear. I slowly approached with Jace in tow, wondering what the hell was going on. I locked eyes with my mother and I realized they were tears of joy. She held out her left hand and pointed to her finger where a small, sparkling ring sat.

"OH MY GOD YOU'RE GETTING MARRIED?" I screamed at the top of my lungs, surprising even me. My mom bobbed her head frantically while smiling like a kid in a candy store.

Luke got up and hugged me. "We will only get married if you're ok with it Clare-bear," He whispered into my ear. I started to nod and felt tears hit my shirt. Even I was crying. Everything was falling into place.

I looked in the mirror again, smoothing down my dress. It was prom night and I was standing in front of the mirror, giggling to myself as my inner girly-girl shone through. My hair was cascading in elegant curls down my back and my minimal makeup was perfect. The dress I was wearing was red, but it didn't clash with my hair; instead it made my hair look like fire. There were lace sleeves giving the illusion it was sleeveless. It hugged my body in all the right places and was cinched in at the waist by a red bow.

I felt stunning.

I heard the doorbell ring and excitement washed over my body. I slipped on my 2 inch heels and precariously ran to the door. I swung it open to find my Greek Adonis, clad in a black tux with a red tie and red chucks to match my dress.

"Awh you guys look amazing," my mom gushed, creeping in behind us. Jace came inside and wrapped his arms around me while my mom got the camera and a box of tissues for her watering eyes.

I could feel him kissing my hair, "You look beautiful," His voice washed over me and my legs felt weak. We had been together since the beginning of the school year and he still had a crazy effect on me. He leaned in for a kiss but right then we heard the loud click of a camera. We turned to find my mom and Luke, smug smiles on their faces. I tried to untangle myself from Jace but he kept his arm around me.

"Smile!" my mom took what seemed like a thousand pictures then finally let us make our way to the prom.

Resting my head on Jace's shoulder I couldn't help but chuckle from all the envious looks I was getting. It never got old.

"What are you laughing at Red?" Jace asked his voice barely above a whisper. I looked around the room before I answered. The prom committee had done a good job. The gym was covered in string lights and there were gold streamers and balloons all around the room. I hadn't been paying attention when we walked in but I think the theme was a Night in the Stars or something undeniably cheesy.

"Your horrible dancing," I replied. We were swaying with the music, sometimes spinning in a circle. Suddenly he made a graceful turn and dipped me, except he didn't bring me back up.

"Jace," I whined, "let me up."

"Not until you take back what you said about my dancing," he replied, his eyes alight with amusement. I loved seeing him like this, free of his past, free of everything. The way he looked at me, like I was the only person in the world, made me feel like I was walking on air. He was my angel.

"You know what?" I teased back, "I think you will just have to make me." His smirk grew.

He leaned down, pulling me out of the dip and into his arms. Our bodies were pressed together and everything else blurred out. His lips ghosted over mine and I stretched up to meet his lips. Right when I thought we were going to kiss he moved his head slightly and slowly kissed my neck.

"Gah! Fine Jace! You are a phenomenal dancer! Happy?" I snapped, only wanting to feel his lips on mine.

"Ecstatic," He breathed, his lips finally meeting mine.
