Clace after all ✔️

Patience, Pride and Promises

Izzy pov.

I did as I was told and asked Dr. Wesley to see Clary. She originally said family only but after some convincing she allowed me to go and see Clary. I walked into her private room in the ICU grasping onto Simon's. She was so pale, so sickly. how could this girl lying before me be the fiery, beautiful, young girl that was becoming my best friend?

She had a breathing tube in her throat and she was hooked up to monitors and drips. Simon pulled some seats from the edge of the room up to her bedside. I sat holding her hand, crying; when I heard a gasp from the door. I turned to see Ms fray. I walked up and hugged her, she held me tightly and I returned the grip, I think we thought that if we let go we would both fall to pieces so we stood there for a while just crying into each. We didn't really know each other, I had met her briefly a couple of times after school when I went around clary's, but I think grief brings people together. Eventually, we sat down at Clary's bedside, while Simon went to get us all coffee. "How's Jace?" she asked clearly choking up.

"He's okay battered but okay." a tear rolls down her cheek and she catches before it reaches her chin. "He is overwhelmed with guilt, from the brief conversation I had with him, I could tell he wishes he could swap places," I said wiping away my tears.

"He shouldn't think such things, as the doctor said she is going to be okay. I really like him and Clary together, I think he is good for her." she smiled through her tears.

"He loves her, with every day she has been in his life; I have seen his compassion, his love, and his trust grow more and more with every passing day. With all the time I spent with her I have seen all these traits just in her natural personality. I have grown to, over the last couple weeks, love her as a sister and my heart aches to see not only my brother but my sister to in such pain." I whimper that by the end turns into a sob. She pulls me into a hug.

We sit in silence. Simon comes and goes; he decided to go home and he will come back tomorrow with a fresh set of clothes because I decided to stay the night.

"Jocelyn, head home and get some sleep I will stay here with Clary and if there is any news I will call you immediately," I said hugging Jocelyn.

"Are you sure sweetie?" I nodded. she put on her jacket and kissed Clary's forehead, stalling a second or two to just hold Clary's hand. She made her way out and my heart sank as the room fell quiet, the only sound: the beeps of a heart monitor and the soft buzz of the oxygen machine. I thought if the silence were to continue I'd go mad; so I began to talk, my words landed upon deaf ears but it didn't matter. "So you and my brother, never thought Jace could land a girl like you." I laughed to myself. "Today when Jace called, all I could hope was that the crash happened after he had dropped you home. but even before the words escaped his lips in a whimper, I knew deep down something was wrong. So here I sit talking to my best friend, who my heart breaks for, I still have pride, I'm so proud of you for fighting and I know you're fighting with all your little might to get back to us." I say before I delicately hug her and cry into her messy hair.

For a while, I sit in the deafening silence, until my phone rings. I pull it out to see a text from Jace:

JC: How is she? x

IZ: She is ok, Doctors said she will most likely wake up but they don't know when or if she'll have brain damage x

JC: Are you staying with her? x

IZ: Yes, I sent her mom home to rest x

JC: Thank you, I should be able to visit tomorrow x

IZ: Ok, I'll see you tomorrow, Love you x

JC: Love you too, from Me and Alec x

With that, I climbed into the put up bed that a nurse had set up a while ago. I lie awake all night thinking about everything: how death could knock on any of our doors at any moment, at how although my brother is sat a hallway away battered and bruised, I am sat with a girl I have known less than a month because my heart feels drawn to stay with her. she is my best friend and although I have known her less than a month I love her as a sister.

And in the early hours in the morning, as my eyes finally begin to close I state one final thing aloud, "I promise to get you the best doctors; if you wake up and are different I promise to stand by you no matter what." And with that, I drift away into a deep sleep.

A/N: I don't know if I will be using other views, do you prefer when it's just Jace and Clary's Pov or do you like the use of others like Izzy, Magnus Etc.
