Letting go

POV JACE:

Two years have passed since Clary forgot about our world and me. I wanted to say that the pain had passed but she was the person I liked and so I visited her every day.

I knew this was unhealthy because I was constantly reliving the past but as much as I wanted I couldn't walk away. Simon was the only one who knew about this carelessness of mine, and though he was neither happy nor agreeing with what I was doing.

That day I lost my girlfriend, the girl I liked and fought so hard for but he lost his best friend since childhood. The only person who found him less than anyone just because he was quite a nerd and the one who gave him the strength to face his new vampire life.

He had been training for two years and every day he got better. He had such a great learning capacity and it is amazing that most Shadowhuters take their entire lives learning to train as they did in just two years.

We have been approaching a lot and today I consider him one of my best friends, besides my sister Izzy and my brother Alec. But for some time now my feelings for Simon have changed.

Since we were saving Izzie and I had to create that bond with a Seelie, I've had some side effects from his powers or more precisely from the power of truth. The seelies can't lie and one thing I learned was that I hide a lot inside me that I never realized what meant and one of those things was my feelings for Simon.

Each day I liked his company, could not see him sad and was always available to help in solving his problems. Since he was approved to help with the missions, we have been a fantastic and unstoppable team.

There is only one problem with this realization of my feelings and this is my sister Izzie. She and Simon have been dating for two years and from what I see, they seem happy with their relationship.I knew I couldn't compete with her for his attention so I would, without giving too much sight, slowly move away from him so that neither of us would be hurt at the end of this story.

POV SIMON:

Two years have passed since I saw my best friend Clary and it has been very difficult to process. We have been friends since childhood and did everything with her.  I joined this world for her and passed the early days of being a vampire with her help. I just miss Clary, my best friend, every day!

But one person who has surprised me a lot has been Jace who has helped me a lot these last times. He helped me train on missions to forget the fact that my best friend doesn't even remember me and to forget the fact that my relationship with Izzie is not in her best days.
I know we look like the happiest couple in the universe but things have not been easy for us. We have been having a lot of discussions lately and not really talking.

The discussions began two months ago when she met Raphael, a vampire who became human. He had some problems with demons and Izzy went to help him. When the mission was over, she came changed. She doesn't want to talk to me about her time with him on the mission, we argue for things that don't even make sense ... Sometimes I get the feeling that she's hiding things from me but it must just be my curiosity that speaks louder.

Being with Jace makes me think less about negative things and so I try to enjoy the time I have with him. 

He and I have been spending a lot of time together and have become very close friends, which I like very much. I always thought he was a person who cared about nothing but him but in fact he cares about the feelings of others more than cares about himself.

I recently discovered that he has been visiting Clary almost every day and from time to time telling me what she did that day, who she is with and whether she is happy or not and that's what helps me when I miss her more than usual.

I just came from a discussion with Izzie about things I don't even care about and unintentionally bumped into Jace.

"Hey, what's up?" Jace asked worriedly.

- Let's go to another place - I said and went to a room where almost nobody entered. - Things have not been easy.

- As well? Is it because of Clary? Do you miss her? If you want you can come with me the next time you see how she's doing.

- Is not it! It's Izzy! We have been arguing a lot lately and I don't know if our relationship makes sense. "Since she went on Raphael's mission, things have not been the same. I already asked what happened but she doesn't trust me and always ends up saying that I don't trust her.

- That's really weird ... It doesn't even look like her! Do you want me to talk to her?

- You do not mind?

- None of that, after all we are friends is not it?

POV JACE:

After my conversation with Simon, I went looking for my sister and when I saw her, I took her to her room because we needed to talk privately.

"Now that we are alone, will you explain to me what is going on?" Between you and Simon? I have noticed for several days that things have not been well between you two.

- I screwed up Jace! Did you remember that some time ago I had a mission to protect Rafael from a demon? Well, after killing him, we went for a drink and one thing led to another and we ended up sleeping together.

- What?

- Yes, that's what you heard .... I betrayed Simon and I haven't had the nerve to tell him yet. I like him a lot but since that night I realized that things between me and Rafael have not been well resolved.

"So these discussions you have are trying to buy time to tell the truth?" Izzie this is not done! He is confused and thinks he has done something to do this.

- I know but I don't know how .... Please do not tell anything ....

Oh my god, what do i do? Do i tell him or do i let Izzie get the courage to tell him?!
