Clary's POV

Crap Izzy is going to kill me if i'm much later.

I ran through the busy sidewalk of new york hoping that my short little legs could get me to her apartment faster than all the cabs that don't seem to be stopping for anyone today would.

Suddenly my phone rings and i know the only person that would be calling me right now. "Iz, i'm so sorry but i'm around the corner" I said puffing my words. "Clary please hurry simons all nervous and no one is talking.

I'm like ninety percent sure he is going to break up with me" she whispers down the phone, i roll my eyes at her dramatics. "I doubt he would dump you with me and your parents there" I say reassuringly, what izzy didn't know was that simon was about to propose to her but unfortunately something happened to the ring at the last minute and according to simon everything had to be perfect, i was the one who had to grill the poor employee about every minor detail.

I know iz will love what he chose, my first thought when i saw it was holy crap that diamond is bigger than my head. Okay so izzy wasn't the only dramatic one. "Oh i almost forgot your bringing dave right?" she asks excitedly.

Izzy liked david a bit more than i did. She was the one that had set me up with him but after three dates i just didn't feel anything for him.

"Uhh something came up, oh look there's your apartment bye" i said hanging up the phone and by stupid mistake not looking in front of me when i collided with someone and fell to the floor. "Uh i'm so sorry, it's been a stressful day. Are you alright?" i asked as i stood and noticed that not only was he still standing but that it was jace.

The last time we had seen each other was a couple days after graduation. That was three years ago. "Clary?" he said a big bright smile on his face as he enveloped me into his arms. I returned the hug and remembered how good it was to be so close to him. "I cant believe how long it's been" he says clearly surprised.

I nod awkwardly. It's quiet for a few minutes. "Jace i'm sorry" i say and he looks shocked.

"Don't look at me like that, we both know i was the reason why we broke up. I just wanted to say sorry" i shrug feeling as though it's not quite enough. "Clary it was three years ago" he smiles and i suddenly feel like i'm back in highschool. Then i remember Izzy!

"Oh shit, jace i have to uhh" i know that i have to leave i'm already so late as it is but it's been three years since i've seen him who knows how long it'll be till i see him again. "What are you doing right now?" i ask a little nervously. "Nothing that can be rearranged" he says smoothly.

"Great, well simon is about to propose to izzy and you coming with me to watch." i say taking his hand and leading him towards the building. He chuckles as we ride in silence in the elevator. "Hey clary maybe tomorrow i can take you out on a date that doesn't involve my parents, sister and her almost fiancee?" he says and i nod. "I would love that".

so there you go guys, i know you have been asking for an epilogue for a very long time but i just felt as though the story i had wrote ended in the right way, so instead you can look at this as an alternative ending. If you like the last chapter then that's how it ends but for the epilogue i wanted things to be a little different. Anyway i hope you enjoy and thank you so much for reading.
