Clace after all ✔️

"I need you."

Jace's pov

" I can't do this anymore!"

"Please, baby, don't do this." The air was thick. "I need you."
We were stood in my living room. Soggy. The storms hit hard tonight, lightning flash through the dimly lit room. I had no doubt that the rest of the house were awake, the sound of thunder roared throughout the house. It wouldn't stop them from hearing us screaming at each other.

After Clary's therapy session she text me that she was going home to spend time with her family. It took me by surprise but I understood her need to spend time with her mum. I resisted the urge to text her, she needed the space and instead I asked Izzy as she walked through the door how it went. Her face wasn't hiding anything. Her face was stuck in a slumped frown, concern eating away at it. She just shook her head slowly and walked up the stairs without the pep it usually poses. My chest tightened. Something was very wrong and somehow I knew I wouldn't be able to fix it. I was right.
Tossing and turning in my bed I couldn't get comfortable not without Clary. My Clary.
I got up and plodded my way down the stairs making my way into the kitchen and got a bottle of water. I smiled remembered the night I met Clary. She was, is the most beautiful person I have ever seen with her fiery hair and her porcelain skin. The lightening streaked through the sky with such power such beauty.

I wish she were here. She loves storms.

As if on cue I heard a light knock on the door. My eyebrow lifted. It was 2 in the morning who did they think would hear that knock over the thunder and rain. I cracked the door open to see soaking wet person with their back to me before they flipped round and a flash of red hair caught my gaze.
"Clary," I was breathless as I took in her appearance her minimal makeup ran incoherently down her face and I couldn't tell if she had been crying or it was just the rain. "Come in before you freeze!" I hurried her in before disappearing into the laundry room to fetch her a fresh towel. She frowned at the towel, reluctantly taking it. "What are you doing out in the rain?" She hid her face into the towel. I heard her mumble something but not loud or clear enough to make out any words.

"I remember," she pulled her face away from the towel slightly. "I remember everything." She spoke with more strength in her voice. Looking at me through her eyelashes.

She remembers.

Clary's pov

His eyes widened with shock but his face soon settled to a look of joy.
"Clary that's Amazing." I looked back down to my finger fidgeting with the towel now stained with my mascara. "Isn't it?" I could hear his face drop I don't have the strength to look at him.
"I remember loving you to the point of my heart bursting. I remember thinking you were it for me. You and me. forever. You and me against the world." He smirked sadly reaching for my hand. I pulled away as soon as his finger tip touched me. "I also remember feeling like my life was over when I was hanging upside down in your car. I remember not even fearing death when I saw your lifeless body. I couldn't live without you. I remember praying to the angel to take me instead of you." I could feel the anger radiating off of him. It was like tiny daggers pricking my skin.
"Why would you say something like that? Why would you leave me by choice?" He all but screamed at me.
"It's was my only option, people need you. Izzy and Alec need YOU. No one needs me: mum has Luke, Simon has Izzy."
Tears began to stream hidden by the rain dripping from my hair. I was very aware of the household that would be actively listening.
"And what about me?" He continued to scream. "Who would I have when I woke up in that hospital room without you? I need you!" He began to pace the around the living making sure to keep his distance.

"You have your family." I murmured meekly.

"No! I need you! Clary you are my family." He stopped in front of me and gripped above my elbows. Pulling me close enough that I could each of his words on my face. "If you died instead of me I would have lost my mind, lost part of being. I don't care about who needs who. It's just you and me, Red." He looked deep into my eyes and in that moment I knew he'd destroy himself for me and I couldn't let that happen.

" I can't do this anymore!" I pushed him away but his clutch never loosened. Anger ran rampant in my blood. I wasn't angry at jace, I loved him too much, I was angry with myself because I didn't deserve him. He was too good, too pure. And I was damaged goods.

"Please, baby, don't do this." I had to do this. For him. He'd find someone new. Someone not as damaged. He'd have the family he deserves. "I need you."

"I can't" I stepped out of his grasp and ran for the door out into the rain but I heard no one follow. He didn't try to stop me. He didn't even say my name as I left. He let me go.

Hey guys I've been informed that some of my chapters aren't visible for some of you so there is a big time gap. SO I republished the story to see if it would help you. If you guys could let me know that would be great :D
On another note I think this is where this story ends for now. I think it's a pretty dramatic and interesting ending. If you like it let me know and if you'd like to see this story have a sequel/ Possibly a new story about the tmi characters I'd love to know.
