I do not own The Mortal Instruments characters but the plot is mine.

Clary:

I was walking to the Institute. I have been sick for the past two weeks so my mom took me to the doctor today. They had me take a pregnancy test and it came back positive. Jocelyn is not happy about it. I do not care if she is not happy though because I am happy and I hope Jace will be too. I put my hand on my stomach while I turned the corner to see the Institute. I hope Jace will be happy, I think again. When I got to the Institute, I make my way up to Jace's room.

"Jace what if Clary comes in?" A female voice says from inside Jace's room. I stop outside the door to listen.

"She's been sick. She will not bother us. Now come here." Jace says and the girl squeals.

Not realizing tears have been streaming down my face I threw the door open. Jace was lying on top of a topless girl kissing her. The girl shrieked and rolled out from under Jace to grab her shirt that was on the floor. She glared at me when she was covered. Jace spun around his face went instantly white from seeing me in the doorway.

"Clary" Jace mumbled. He got to his feet and reached for me. "Clary" he said again.

I slapped his hand that reached out for me. "No! Don't touch me! Stay away from me Jace Herondale! I never want to see you again! Stay away from me!" I yelled. Before he could say anything else, I turned and ran down the corridor. I could hear Jace's feet behind me. I could hear him yelling my name and telling me to come back or let him explain. I reached the elevator and hit the button. I could hear Jace getting closer. Hurry up! I think. Answering my prayer, the doors to the elevator opened. I stepped in and hit another button. I could see Jace running to catch the doors but he was too late. The doors closed between us. When the doors opened, again I ran out the institute doors. I could hear Jace coming out the doors when I started running down the street. I could see him behind me. I kept running but he was catching up. A cross walk was up ahead I ran to catch it. I got across just in time but Jace didn't. He slowed to a stop on the other side of the road. I ran further down the street then got into a cab.

A few minutes later, I got home. I went inside the whole house was dark and quiet. I walked in, closed the front door, and locked it back. My mom and Luke must have left. There was a note on the kitchen table.

Dear Clary,

Luke and I went out to dinner. We should be back around 8 p.m.

Love,

Your Mother

I looked at the clock it said 6:51 p.m. I went to my room. I paced the room thinking of what to do. Jace didn't want me no more. I won't let him hurt my baby. I went to my closet and got out a duffle bag from the top shelf. I started putting things I would need in it. I put three short-sleeved shirts, two long sleeved shirts, 4 pairs of pants, my sketchbook, and colored pencils into the bag. I ran to my parent's room and dragged out from under their bed a safe. It held our emergency money. Luke told me the combination just in case Jocelyn or Luke wasn't there to open it. I stuff a few hundred dollars in the bag and threw the bag over my shoulder, grabbed my stele and headed for the kitchen. I took out a piece of paper and a pencil and wrote a letter to my mom and Luke.

Dear Mom and Luke,

I'm sorry I left. I can't stay. I caught Jace cheating on me today so I'm leaving. I'll keep in contact and visit twice a month but I won't tell you were I am, not yet. He doesn't know. I don't want him to know either so please don't tell him if he comes looking for me at the house. I love you.

Love,

Clary

I put the note on the kitchen table next to the note my mom left. I looked at the clock it was 7:30 they will be seeing it in a half hour. They will realize I'm gone. I grabbed my stele from where I sat it down and went into the living room. I started to draw a portal when a knock came from the front door. In the window, I could see Jace standing there. I turned to the drawling on the wall and finished the portal rune. The portal opened. "Clary" I turned Jace was looking through the window. He was wide eyed and pressed against the glass. He was watching me open a portal that will take me away from him. He tried to open the door but I had locked the front door. I turned back to the portal and stepped through not looking back.
