I should be studying.

So I travel back down that road, will you come back? No one knows.

A loud gasp is heard on the hospital room. The green eyes girl opened her eyes and tired to move, but there was something stopping her. A pain she felt every time she tried to move. 

"Clary?" She heard someone say. Her eyes met the icy blue eyes her best friend Thomas - or Tommy as she liked to call him to piss him off. 

"Izzy!" The boy said, looking at another person in the room. "She's awake!"

Clary heard footsteps and the door close. A few seconds later, the door opened again. A lot of doctors came in the room and did a few tests on her. 

After what look like hours to Clary, the doctors finally leave and her friends come in. What happened? What was all that? 

"Clary, we were so worried about you! Do you know what happened?" Izzy asks and her best friend shakes her head. "You were in coma for about a week. College starts in 3 days. Do you think you're ready?"

"Yes, I'm ready. I just want to get out of here." The red haired says and Izzy leaves the room to talk to the doctors. "Where's Jace?" Clary turns to Thomas. "Did he really leave?"

Thomas shakes his head. "Yes, Clary, he did."

Clary's POV

He really left. That thing that we met again and all that, it was just a dream. I was the one who had an accident. I though Jace - being the one who had that accident and not remembering me - would be easy to forget or to replace. I guess I just have to survive through college now.

I can't help but wonder what would have happened if that dream was true. Would we be together? Oh my god, what am I even saying?! High school romance doesn't exist, that's just something that happens in movies and the movies end before we even see the reality of things. 

Should I call him? Ask him why he left? No, that would be a mistake. He probably doesn't want to see me or hear from me. 

I'll just move on with my life.

Jace's POV

"What do you want Thomas?" I ask annoyed as I pick up the phone. "I was kinda busy." I say and look at Kaelie waiting for me on the bed. She bites her lip when I smirk at her.

"You and Kaelie can swallow each other's faces later. I have good news." He says and I roll my eyes. "Clary is awake. She asked for you. You should come visit her."

"Why do I care?" I ask. "Yes, she was my best friend once but we don't even talk now."

"You can keep telling that to yourself but we both know you still have feelings for her. At least call her and apologize, before she finds someone else and leaves you." He says and hangs up. 

"Who was it?" Kaelie asks and I look at her.

"No one. But I guess you should leave, I have work to do." I say and grab my jacket. I get out of my apartment in LA, to go to a bar that's near there.

I don't know what to do about Clary. Was Thomas right? Do I still have feelings for her? No, I left her. Plus, Clary is not like the others. She's different. And if I stay with her, I would feel like I'm manipulating her to stay with me and I don't want that. I don't want to destroy her. To love is to destroy. That's what I always learned. And I could never forgive myself if I destroyed her.
