Jace POV
I laid in my bed, staring at the ceiling, doing just the thing I'd been doing since I found out Clary and I were siblings. Valentine was such a sick bastard, letting us be together, then ripping us apart. I hated him. The radio came on and a song by a mundane named Ed Sheeran came on. It was called Happier. I let my thoughts overcome me as I listened to the song.

Walking down 29th and Park
I saw you in another's arms
You were with Simon

Only a month we've been apart
You look happier
Are you Happier?

Saw you walk inside a bar
The hunters moon

He said something to make you laugh
I saw that both your smiles were twice as wide as ours
He made you laugh, I made you cry

Yeah, you look happier, you do
Are you Happier?

Ain't nobody hurt you like I hurt you
I didn't mean to hurt you

But ain't nobody love you like I do
I still love you

Promise that I will not take it
personal, baby
But I will take it personal

If you're moving on with someone new

'Cause baby you look happier, you do
My friends told me one day I'll feel it too
I don't want to feel it with someone else

And until then I'll smile to hide the truth
Keep smiling

But I know I was happier with you
I still am happy with you

Sat on the corner of the room
Everything's reminding me of you
I can't get you out of my head

Nursing an empty bottle and telling myself you're happier
Aren't you?
Aren't you?

Ain't nobody hurt you like I hurt you
Don't hate me

But ain't nobody need you like I do
I still need you

I know that there's others that deserve you
No one but me deserve you

But my darling, I am still in love with you
I still love you

But I guess you look happier, you do
Are you Happier?

My friends told me one day I'd feel it too
I don't want to fall for someone new

I could try to smile to hide the truth
Keep smiling

I know I was happier with you
Always Happier

Baby, you look happier, you do
I knew one day you'd fall for someone new
And I have to sit here watching, as you get a boyfriend and get married, while I watch dying a little more each day

But if breaks your heart like lovers do
Just know that I'll be waiting here for you
I will always wait for you. I would wait for an eternity for you Clarissa Fray.

I added a book quote, sorta, thing! When I first heard this song, I cried and it reminded me of Jace when Climon happened.... so here we are!
