The Heirs

Chapter 79: Missing each other

CLARY

It's been thirteen days. It's been thirteen days since Jace and I broke up. I moved out of the penthouse, even though it's my place I don't think I can stay in Brooklyn. I don't think I can stay inside of that bedroom with all of the memories with Jace and I being in there.

Yet here I am, thinking about him. It's been three days since Matilda came, and the next day Celine called for me, telling me that she was sorry that she made rash decisions without telling me. I told her that it was fine and that sooner or later Jace and I will break up.

I've seen Jace and Matilda becoming more closer ever since she arrived, they've been together ever since, like they're living in the same house. But of course, they aren't since Izzy told me. Jace always drives Matilda home, he even fetches her in the morning going to school. I heard Jace telling Bass that Matilda is currently staying at Celine's place since she wants to save money, and also Celine offered since Celine and Matilda's parents are closed.

I've become more hormonal these past few days that I decided that maybe I should really drop the school, and begin to focus on my work.

"Clary!!!" Izzy shakes me so hard that I almost vomit.

"What?" I exclaimed.

"You're thinking again..." She tells me. This is the actual first time that I let someone visit me. I got this new penthouse in Soho, which is incredibly huge for one person living in.

"I'm sorry..."

"Anyways, I love your new place..." She said. I smiled and thanked her.

"So are you sure, you want to drop out of the Institute? Are you sure you don't wanna go to the prom?" She asks sadly. I gape remembering that the prom is coming.

"I think I'll pass. Besides, I don't have a date..." I told her. She huffed and didn't push the subject.

"So how's the baby?" She asks. I looked at her with a sad smile.

"They are fine..." I simply told her.

"They?"

"I'm having twins... " I smiled sadly at her. She gasps and engulfed me in a hug.

"By the Angel, I'm so happy for you. I just wish Jace knows about this..." She said in her sad voice, I sighed and stood up, decided that I want to lie down. We've been sitting on the couch for like one hour and I feel exhausted. It's almost three in the afternoon and I'm kind of busy.

"Hey....." Izzy hollered but followed me.

"Don't walked out on me. I know you, Clary..." She said. I sighed and rolled over, gesturing for her to lie down. She lies down looking at me.

"He seems happy now..." I told her.

"Well to tell you the truth, he is. He's always hanging out more with Matilda than us, he always goes home late.." She tells me.

"Do you think, they're dating?" I ask her.

"I don't think they are..."

"Still, I'm not going to stop him, if he decided to start dating again..." I murmured.

"I still love him, Izzy. And it hurts so much..." I told her sadly, a tear rolled out of my eyes as I wiped it away, Izzy sighs.

"You know, you can come back, right? You can risk it..." She tells me. I sniffed.

"I can't..."

"I won't. I don't think I can risk it. Maybe a little more push will do, but I don't think I'm in there yet, Izzy..." I tell her. She hugs me and rub circles on my back.
