Raziel's Will - A Shadowhunter FF (Completed)

Why don't you tell me the truth?

View from Clary

After we left the art supply store, we walked for a few minutes until we stood in front of Jace's apartment. I waited for Jace to unlock the door and push me into the apartment. As I looked around the apartment, I noticed Jace watching me in the corner of my eye and putting the bag with my art supplies on the couch. After I had a good look around his apartment I walked up to him and wrapped my arms around his neck. "Your apartment is nice, but I imagined it to be furnished differently. I really thought you had a different taste," I said as I looked at him smiling. Jace laughed and gave me a kiss on the forehead before he answered me. "I just moved in here recently. The previous owner had left all his furniture here because the girlfriend he moved in with already has a full apartment. So I'm allowed to use the furniture until I have furnished everything the way I like it and you know what? Since you're going to spend a lot of time here, you're going to have a say in how it's furnished," said Jace and looked at me with so much affection that it almost hurt. A big smile formed on my lips and I hid my face in his chest, "Why did we break up back then? I mean we are clearly so attracted to each other that I cannot understand it", I said into his chest. Shortly afterwards I noticed his hands on my face and he pulled it back slightly so that he could look deep into my eyes. On his lips and in his beautiful unique eyes there was suddenly such a pain that it almost tore my heart apart. "Clary we never stopped loving each other, the situation was just a little more complicated. I want to explain everything to you, but unfortunately I can't yet," he said. He had not really said that now. I couldn't believe it, what was he hiding from me? Immediately I pushed myself away from him and hurriedly took a few steps back. "What are you hiding from me, Jace? "Tell me the truth. I love you, but I want to know what's so complicated that you can't tell me? I can only be with you if you speak to me openly. So?', I said to the blond young man opposite me. His beautiful eyes looked at me with such sadness that even before he could say anything I knew he wouldn't tell me anything. For this reason I stormed out of his apartment. I still heard him calling after me, but I did not care, I had to leave here and I had to do so immediately. That was certainly also our reason for separation, as he apparently had secrets from me. As I was about to run around the next street corner I bumped into a man who looked very extraordinary. He had black hair and there was a lot of glitter in it. His eyes were also painted black, I shook my head and muttered an "excuse". Then I ran off again, I was just too close to Jace's apartment. I just wanted to get out of here and not see Jace again for a while. But not only did I think about Jace, I also couldn't get this extraordinary looking man out of my head, somehow he looked very familiar to me.
