without you

Chapter 1

Clary's POV

I was finally home! After 2 long months in Idris I was finally back at the institute, where I was looking forward to seeing everyone. Especially a certain golden boy.
Today is our 1-year anniversary and I wanted to surprise him by coming home a few days earlier.
I walked into the kitchen and met Izzy and Alec. Izzy let out a small scream when she saw me and ran up to me.
After we hugged I walked up to Alec and put my arms around him too.
"Welcome Home." He whispers.
I smile before letting go.
"Oh my god how was it! Tell me everything!" Isabelle screams into my ear.
"I'll tell you later first I would like to see my boyfriend."
Izzy smirks and raises an eyebrow.
"I think he's upstairs in his room."
"Thanks."
I rush up the stairs taking two steps at once.
Everything is just like I remember it but it was only two months. That felt like years.
I open the door, with a wide smile on my face.
That smile fell when I saw what was happening in Jace' bed.
"Jace?" I whisper, tears threatening to drop.
And then my whole world falls apart when the love of my life sits up in bed and a beautiful girl behind him does the same.
"How could you?" I murmur quietly.
"Clary-I'm sorry. It was an accident."
I shake my head and slam the door shut.
As I'm walking down the hall Izzy comes towards me but I can't. I just can't.
I run to my room and tears start spilling and heartbreaking sobs escape my mouth.
Someone knocks but I keep packing.
"Clary what's wrong? Please open the door!"
I sigh and wipe away the tears and then I unlock the door.
"Why don't you ask your brother Jace." I spit in Izzy's face.
Isabelle looks like she's not really sure what to do.
"Go on!" I yell.
She nods and runs to Jace' room. That boy is gonna get his ass whooped.
I grab my bag and draw a specific rune in the air. Then I jump through the portal that opened in front of me.
I really didn't actually think about any place but I landed in front of the London institute.
Sighing I grab my stuff and knock on the huge door.
"Hello. Can I help you?" A young girl asks, she looks like she's maybe 9 or something.
"Umm yes I was wondering if I could stay here for a while. Is your mother here?" I ask.
She nods and lets me in.
I follow her into a darkened room with a few books laying around and a large table in the middle.
"Mommy this girl asked if she could stay here."
A tall woman, wearing a red dress stood up from behind the table.
"Hello dear. Of course you can stay here but may I ask, why would you like to come to this institute?" Her voice is strong and powerful.
"Umm I left the New York institute for uh personal reasons." I manage to bring out without bursting into tears.
She nods her head understandingly.
"Alright. My name is Diana Woolworth and this is my daughter Rachel."
"I'm Clary Fray."I smile
"You're Clarissa Morgenstern!" Rachel shouts.
"Umm technically yes but I prefer Clary Fray."
"Oh sorry." She looks at the floor sadly.
"It's alright!" I laugh.
"Ok why don't I introduce you to everyone and show you around." Diana says and walks towards the door.
When we go out Rachel runs into another direction.
"I have 4 sons and I have to warn you. They are quite...chaotic."
"It's alright I look forward to meeting them."
We walk into what seems like the training room, which is way bigger than the one in New York. Four (very handsome) guys are training inside.
"Boys! I would like you to meet someone." Diana says. In a way her voice is quiet yet energetic, all the boys stop what they're doing and come to us.
"This is Noah." She points to the youngest one who looks about my age maybe a little younger.
He smiles and waves.
"This is Will." Diana moves her finger to the next guy. He's super tall and is probably a bit older than me.
"That's Alex." He might be my age as well.He smiles a warm welcoming smile. It's cute.
"And this is Jax." And oh boy that guy...that guy really caught my attention.
Like all the others he had light brown hair and piercing blue eyes, which reminded me of Alec's but something was different. Yeah he was tan and sexy but his aura. It's so powerful.
Jax just nods and then turns his attention back to his mother.
"I'm Clary." I say smiling.

3 years later

Ok so you have a lot to catch up on.
First of all I'm the best shadow hunter of my generation. I've trained harder than anyone in the last few years and it was worth it.
Jax is my boyfriend and I really love him. It took a while, to trust him since...since Jace but we got there.
Noah is my parabatai and my best friend. We talk about everything.
I'm close with Will and Alex too. They're like my brothers and this...this is my new family.
