Do you Remember me?

Chapter 4

2 years later...

"Clary, please back away from the TV, your eyes will go bloodshot." Tessa crooned from the couch behind her. Clary stayed put, tightening the grip she had on the blanket around her as she stared at the TV.

The image of Jace talking and laughing was being displayed to her on the screen.

"Can you turn that up?" She whispered, eyes trained on his body. Tessa frowned, leaning past Clary to see what she was watching and audibly gasped.

She turned up the volume like Clary requested before bolting out of the room.

"So Jace, your acting career has taken quite a jump since the last time we saw you, any reason in particular as to why that is?" Even as the TV host asked the question, Clary's eyes remained trained on Jace.

He looked... good, he didn't look... He looked like Jace, her Jace. She bit her lip as he shot the TV host his signature smirk.

"Well, to be honest, I couldn't have done it without my beautiful fiancée."

Clary gasped,whirling around to see her mother, Tessa and Will standing by the door. "He remembers?" She gasped, staring at them with wide eyes before letting out a small laugh. She quickly turned to the TV as the host started speaking again.

"-and who is this mysterious fiancée of yours?" Clary's heart skipped a beat. "You're relationship thus far has been pretty under wraps... tell us Jace, who has you pinned down?"

Jace bowed his head for a moment, laughing as he rubbed his finger against his bottom lip, as if contemplating. "She'll kill me for revealing it so soon." He warned, eyes twinkling as he brought his head back up.

Clarys eyebrows furrowed a bit. 'Would I?' She thought, 'it's been two years. He remembers...' A smile flitted onto Clarys lips, and she braced her hands against the sides of the tv as Jace took a deep breath before speaking again.

"My fiancée... the most beautiful woman in the world, with the most beautifully skilled hands I've probably ever seen," Tears of joy spilled out of Clarys eyes as she sobbed silently, "She's been my rock for the time we've been together, I wouldn't have been able to make it this far without her... my fiancée," Clary held her breath, "-is Aline Penhallow."

Clary jumped away from the TV as if it had burned her.

Instantly, she could feel her mother's arms wrap around her tightly, shushing her as she wailed. She didn't even realise she was screaming until Tessa and Will got involved, trying to soothe her and calm her down.

But her heart was breaking, again, and again, and again. The love of her life... was going to marry someone else?

She clutched at the ring that was on her finger, the one she promised herself she would never take off until the end of time, and sobbed harder, staring at the image of Jace on the TV.

She focused on him, the congratulations he was getting, the smile that was on his face... at one point her life she thought that smile was reserved for only her... Clary choked on another sob before her vision went black and the last thing she could hear, past all the frantic cries of her name, was the sound of Jace.
