Chapter 19 - Jonathan's Back

(Jace's Pov)

I gently bring her hand up to my face and gently kiss her. My heart is beating out of my chest and I just sit there with her hand pressed up against my face. I suddenly get taken out of my thoughts when I hear the door open. I look at the door to see Magnus walking in. I immediately got up and let go of her hand. As soon as he gets in the room, he takes off his coat and walks over to Clary. Once he walks in, he looks at her face, then he closes his eyes and starts his magic.

"H-How is she?" I say with a shaky voice while rubbing the back of my neck with my hand.

"Not good, she's in very bad condition," Magnus says, continuing to cover her body in magic. I start to tear up and I walk to the wall and punch it. I then fall to the ground and put my head on my knees and start to cry. I can't lose her; she means way too much to me. I start to rock back and forth and my heart is beating so fast. I remember the first time I saw her; it was at school, she was at her locker. She had a big handprint on her neck and a bunch of bruises all over her. Despite all that she was still beautiful, she was so sassy and she still is. The next thing I know Clary starts screaming at the top of her lungs, causing me to lift my head. I quickly ran to her side and held her hand. Her whole body is shaking as she continues to scream.

"W - What's happening?" I ask, squeezing her hand tightly.

"She's having a nightmare, it looks really bad, you need to help her," Magnus says while looking up at me.

"W - What do I do?" I ask, looking at her face.

"Just talk to her. You always seemed to calm her down when she was awake," Magnus says while grabbing some bandages and wipes. He starts cleaning her cuts and wrapping them up.

"Clary honey, it is me Jace your boyfriend. Please wake up. I miss you and I love you. If you don't wake up, I don't know what I will do. Clary you're the one I want to spend the rest of my life with, no one else. So please wake up for me honey, I'm right here and I'll always be here. I love you Clary so much, I love everything about you. Your red messy hair, your emerald green eyes, your freckles, you're so strong and sassy, it's one of my favorite things about you." I say as I start to cry more. I bring her hand up to my face and kiss it. She starts to calm down and soon she stops screaming and shaking. I shift my eyes up to Magnus to see him stop using his magic.

"She is doing ok as she can be but now it is just up to her if she wakes up or not," he says coming over to me.

"What happens if she doesn't wake up?" I ask standing up a bit.

"If she doesn't wake up, she'll die. She has about a month before that happens," Magnus says with a sad tone. He comes towards me and hugs me. I feel more tears start to come out and hug her back. Once we let go, he leaves the room and I sit back down on the chair next to her bed. I grab her hand and hold it to my face as more tears drip down. I hear the door open and then close. I don't bother to look because I know who it is. In the next few minutes, Izzy goes to the other side of the bed and Alec comes and sits next to me.

"Jace, you need to let us heal your leg," Alec says, putting his hand on my shoulder. I look at Alec and then back at Clary. "I'm fine, I won't leave her side," I say, tightening my grip on her hand.

"Come on Jace, just let me see your leg," Alec says while giving me a stern look. I gently move my leg and lay it on his lap for him to look at it. My pants are ripped so he can see how bad it is. There's a huge gash that goes from my knee down to my ankle. Alec lifts my shirt and activates my Iratze. But it didn't seem to heal so Alec grabbed some gauze pads and some wipes. He cleans the cut and I felt it sting a bit, but I didn't care. All I cared about was Clary, nothing else was on my mind except Clary and me. The next thing I know I feel a huge pop in my leg and it hurts so bad that I screamed at the top of my lungs. The next thing they knew Clary starts shaking and her heartbeat monitor starts going crazy. Magnus then rushes in and runs over to Clary. He starts to check her pulse, but as soon as he does his eyes go wide. He starts rushing to get supplies and when he has all of them, he runs to Clary.

"What's going on?" I say with concern.

"She has no pulse, and she's not breathing," Magnus says as he continues what he is doing. My heart drops when he says that. I then hear the door open and close. I turn my head to see Jonathan standing by the door with a smirk. Alec, Izzy, and I all stand up and block Clary's body with ours. I ignore all the pain in my leg and grab my blade. Then he just randomly starts cackling.

"I guess my plan worked. Now the world will be rid of that disgusting bitch. Do you know she loved it when we would have sex? She begged me to keep going and not stop. " He says, smirking. I tighten my grip on my blade and try to tell myself that none of that is true. I took a few deep breaths and calmed myself down. "Anyway, you guys should be glad I got rid of her useless annoying ass. Now you don't have to pretend you like her, and she won't get in your way. " He said, opening the door. But before he could leave, I quickly ran to him and tackled him down. I turn him around and hold the blade down against his neck.

"Don't you ever say those things about her again. You don't deserve to know her, she is innocent, pure, kind, stubborn, and strong, but you know what I love about her for all of those things. I love everything about her and she doesn't deserve the family she got." I say pressing the blade farther down on his neck, drawing a bit of blood.

"All those qualities make her weak, that's why she sucks at fighting. She is a defect, and wasn't meant to be born. She deserves to die, it's better than being alive. Such a disgrace to the Morganstern name. " Jonathan says with a menacing tone. Before I could do anything, Alec pulls me off on him and Izzy grabs him and makes him stand up. She grabs his hands and holds them behind his back, then she grabs some handcuffs. She then keeps her hold on him and leaves the room. I turned back to look at Clary but it hurt way too much I had to leave. I ran out of the room and ran to our spot.
