Jace- You & Me

➰

You had decided that enough was enough. Ever since Clary had waltzed into the Institute and your lives Jace had been spending more and more time with her and less time with you, and it did bother you, because you were his girlfriend, Clary wasn't.

You were currently sitting in your bed reading a book in the bedroom you shared with Jace. You had been on a mission with Izzy earlier that day and was allowed to take the night off, so you thought that reading was the right thing to do, at least it would allow you to escape from your recently miserable life and into the life of the characters in the book.

You had read for about half an hour when you could hear laughter coming from outside your bedroom. You instantly recognized the laughter to belong to Jace.

"Thank you for training with me, I really think I'm getting the hang of this whole thing about being a shadowhunter now" you heard Clary speak up.

You could feel anger coursing through your veins just by hearing her voice, and you gripped tightly onto the book you held in your hands.

"It's all my pleasure. Sleep tight, Clary" Jace said and you could picture how he smiled at her before you heard the door to her bedroom close.

The door to yours and Jace's room opened and you stared at the page in the book you were on, not really absorbing what was written, just ignoring the man that was walking over to the closet.

"I heard from Izzy that you took quite a hit when you were out on the mission earlier, are you okay?" the blond asked as he pulled his tank top over his head and turned to look at you.

"What do you care?" You barked out, anger still bubbling in your veins as you slammed your book shut and threw it onto the nightstand.

"[Y/N] why are you so upset, of course I care" Jace asked, a confused expression decorating his handsome features as he pushed a hand through his messy hair.

"It seems like you care more about Clary than you do about your own girlfriend seeing as how much time you spend with her" you said as you stared up at him. "The Jace I know doesn't go around flirting with other girls when he has a girlfriend" you added as your anger was slowly replaced with sadness.

"What are you on about? I'm still the same Jace who asked you out, I haven't changed"

You glanced down at the parabatai rune that was covering your lower arm, tracing it slowly with your fingers before you looked up at Jace again. "The fact that you can't even see it makes it even more real"

You pushed the covers of the bed to the side and stood up, quickly picking up a hoodie and a pair of jeans from off the floor. You put them on and began to make your way towards the door, only to be stopped by Jace who stepped out to block your path.

"[Y/N], what are you doing?" He asked as he desperately tried to capture your gaze.

You looked up at him as tears pooled over in your eyes. "I'm leaving, I'm going to stay with Izzy until you figure out what it is you actually want. I won't be with you if you keep flirting with Clary every second of the day" you said before you pushed him aside and hurried out the door.
