Remember Me

Chapter 8

Clary's POV

I'm in such a hurry I don't even knock on his door. I open his bedroom door and see that he's laying on his bed reading a book. My eyes start to water when I see him. How could I be without him for a year? I just stand there, looking at him. This must have worry him because he got up and start to walk close to me.
-Hey, did something happened?- he asks worried. I think he's so worried he doesn't even notice my runes.
-Yes, something happened.- I say with a little smile.
-Clary, tell me what happened! I'm worried about you- he says
-I remembered- that's all I say before tears left my eyes
-What did you remembered?- he asks me. He's somehow scared that something serious have happened
-Everything.- I say and he get a surprised look on his face- I remembered everything that happened since that night at Pandemonium until Alec's wedding- as I say, I notice I'm not the only one that has tears in its eyes. We're just standing in the middles of his room looking at each other.- I remembered what happened to my mom, Valentine, Jonathan. Us.- I say and I just can't control my tears anymore, and neither can Jace.
A smile spread through his face and I just run to him. I can't take another minute without him. I hug him as tightly as I can, and so does he. There aren't even words that can describe how much I missed this. He's holding onto me like I'm going to disappear, and I don't even judge him. I feel like the same way.
After some minutes, I just look at him. There are still tears in his eyes, just like in mine. We just stand there, looking into each other.
-I'm not dreaming right?- he asks me
-No. This is real.- And them I kiss him.
How much i missed this. Missed him! The way he smiles in the middles of a kiss. How his lips felt. Don't know for how long we stand there kissing, but it didn't felt enough. It would never be enough. After a while we broke from the kiss.
-You're back.- he says
-You can't get rid of me that easily- I say playfully and he laughs.
He start to walk to his bed and I just follow him, holding hands. We sit on the edge of his bed in front of each other, in silence. After a while he breaks the silence.

Jace's POV

She's back! Like, really back! Clary, My Clary is back! I just dont know how to process it. Now I take a look at her and see that her runes are back, all of them.
-How did it happen?-I say
-After I left to my room, I was there trying to process everything that you all told me, but, after a while, I ended up sleeping. That was when I had a dream. It was Raziel. He said that the angels decided that my punishment was enough, mostly because my mom's requests. He said I would have my memories and abilities back, but I can't use my powers against their will again, otherwise my punishment would be worse. And them I wake up and it was like I've never left. I remembered everything. So I came straight here and thats it.- She says and I just try to process everything she said.
- But why now?- I say
-Well, just like Maryse said to me at Alec's wedding "Angels work on mysterious ways"- she says with a little smile, which causes me to smile too- I really need to ask you something- She says
-What do you want to know?
-How have you been, this past year? And dont even try to make something up because I know you too well Jace Herondale- she said, and, even thought the last part she said with a fun tone, I know she was right.
-Well, I would be lying to you if i said I was alright. After everyone grieved, lets say like this, they all kind of move on with their lives. Of course they were worried, but they were motivated to do  something. I just hadn't that.- I pause for a moment so i can read her expressions. I know she's hella worried, but try not to show it so it doesn't make me feel bad. But just like she said: I know her too well- Call me jealous, but everyone had someone, and I didn't. I just, got closed off. In a worse way than I was before I met you. No one said anything for the first months. They wouldn't complain when I disappeared from the institute just to look after you. But, in the last months, I would have to sneak out so I could see you. They said I should move on, find someone else. But here's the thing: How could I move on from the only person that I truly love? Like I said to Simon: There is no one else. Thats why for the past year, I would go out every day so I could somehow be with you. Even if it was to spend five minutes just looking at you. Thats why I prayed every night asking the angles to let you come back. There is no Jace Herondale without Clary Fairchild.- As I finish saying I notice I was crying and so was Clary.
She just jumps to me and hug me so tightly. We stand like this for a moment until she calms down. She broke the hug and looked at me.
-You went to see me everyday?- she said with a low voice.
-Yes. I promised I would never leave your side. This time wasn't different- I said and she smiled
-Thast why sometimes I felt like someone was with me, but couldn't really see someone there. Thank you, for not giving up on me this whole time- she said and paused for a moment before continuing- I dont know about you, but I think a good night of sleep is all I need right now.
-I have to agree with you on that- I said with a little laugh before laying down on my bed with her. She rest her head on my chest while i hug her from the side. We stayed like this for God knows how long before I got the courage to ask her something- Can I ask you something? You can totally deny answering this. I'll understand.
-Ask- she said looking at me
-Have you been with someone this past year?- I asked and sh took a while to answer- I'm sorry I asked this, I just got curious.- I said looking away from her
-Hey.- she said while making me looked at her- You don't need to apologize. I'll answer. And the answer is no, I haven't.
-But why?- I asked
-Don't know. I just didn't want to. And every time I thong about being with someone, it felt wrong. I think is like what I wrote to you in that letter: Even if I don't remember you, you'll always be in my heart. Being with someone else didn't felt right. And just like you said: There is no Clary Fairchild without Jace Herondale.- she said the last part with a little smile and I kiss her. I cant believe that's happening. It all feels like a dream, that any time I will wake up from it.- I love you- she said, and I can see her eyes watering, just like mine.
-Until the day I die- I say- And after that too.
After this, we kissed once more before laying on my bed, sleeping right after it.

Clary's POV

Just like the last times, I'm the first one to wake up in the morning. I stay there just looking at Jace, thinking how lucky I am to have him in my life. I don't know how much time goes by, but I notice he's staring at me too.
-What are you doing?- he says with a little smile. He's so cute when he wakes up, with his hair messed just a little bit.
-I'm just thinking how lucky i am to have you with me- i say honestly
-I'm pretty sure I'm the lucky one.- He say
-Are we really going to discuss about it?- I say frowning my forehead
-i think you're right, you're the lucky one. I mean, not everyone gets a guy like me- he said giving me a smirk.
-By the Angel, you're so full of yourself!- I say punching him on his arm playfully
-Confess, you love that about me- he said
-You're so right. You wouldn't be you without your cockiness. You're truly one of a kind Jace Herondale. I mean, you made me fall in love with you twice.- i say
-Really?- he said
-Yeah. On my birthday outside Pandemonium and the other day outside the gallery. Since my birthday I knew you would be someone important to me, and so I did that day outside the gallery.- I say and he kisses me.
-You know, since that night at Pandemonium, I knew you were different and that you would be someone important to me, but I could never imagine this. What we have is beyond my imagination. This night I was afraid that I would sleep and everything from last night would be a dream, that you still didn't remember me and that I would wake alone here. But here you are, and I'm not letting you go again- he says
-I won't go anywhere.- I say and I lay down again, in silence. Here's the thing about Jace and I, not everything has to involve talking. We know when the other needs to talk or when we want to be quiet, just enjoying each other's company. We stay like this most part of the morning until we decide we should go grab some breakfast.
With him, I'm really home again. But I cant wait to see the others.
