Jace and Clary moving on

breakfast

The next morning Clary was up bright and early. Today was the day she was going to start packing and move into Jace's room. She instantly jumped into the shower and changed into a torn up, old, gray, t-shirt, jeans and her black sneekers. When she was done getting dressed she went out to the kitchen to get breakfast.

Jocelyn was in front of the stove making pancakes and Luke was sitting at the table drinking coffee. "Hey mom. Hey Luke. Are you going to help us pack?" Clary said when she stepped into view. Jocelyn dropped what she was doing and unsuccessfully tried to hold back the tears. Clary hated to see her mom cry and so did Luke. Luke stopped drinking his coffee and placed his attention on his wife. He walked up next to her and rubbed her back to try and sooth her.

"Mom what's wrong?" Clary asked. Though she already knew what was wrong. Clary was moving out and at such a young age. Jocelyn just clearly didn't want to let her little girl go." My baby's moving out and at sixteen," Jocelyn said in between sobs." But than why did you say yes when Jace asked you?" Clary asked. Now she was confused.

"Because I know it would make you happy to be closer to Jace and your friends. Plus Jace gave a lot of good points. He said that it would give you more time to train and study. And not only that but the institute is the safest place you can be if you're a shadowhunter.," Jocelyn explained, now calmed down. Clary knew those would be the points Jace would make and man was she grateful they worked.

"Mom I'm not far away. You and Luke can come and visit me any time you want. I'm not gone forever. And I'm sixteen, I can handle myself. Don't worry," Clary reassured her mother. Understanding , Jocelyn nodded and gave Clary her plate of pancakes and cup of black coffee.

"So are you guys gonna help out or are you gonna go out?" Clary asked again as she sat down to eat." No we're gonna go out to go see this movie you're mom has been wanting to see. But I promise we will be back in time to say good-bye," Luke answered as he sat back down with Jocelyn by his side. When Clary was done eating she went out to the truck to grab some boxes so she could start packing.
