Jace spent a lot of time with me. I was sad that he had found me. The drive to Lightwood Port was long and the guy from the hospital kept his promise. He stayed in my life. His name was Luke Johnathan 'Jace' Morgenstern. He was a pure kind soul, that I wish had never found me, even though life was getting better, he only met me because I tried to end my life, and he saved me, never again I vowed would I let him save me from my own stupid self.
He went by Jace because he preferred his middle name because it just made it easier on him, it didn't make that much sense to me until he explained. His father was Luke and therefore made him the second Luke, but his father had already fathered a firstborn son with another woman and his first son, who was also named Luke, was the real junior in his father's eyes, his fathers infidelity came to light and Jace got answers for why only his mother ever called him Junior. He was talkative the whole car ride to Lightwood Port. We talked a lot the whole drive he listened to me, answered my questions, and I did the same, mostly.
I spent a lot of time with him I realized and it scared me to have someone constantly there with a very content outlook on life, his good life vibe had refused to rub off on me. He lived two blocks from the small apartment complex I was going to reside in, this I didn't know when we had first been getting to know each other even though I had been out of the hospital for a month, I knew small trivial things and that was it. I had hoped that he would slowly drift away and only have phone messaging or social media conversations like most friends had become. I was used to people only existing to me through the phone or being blurs when I would go from place to place.
I enjoyed the drive to Lightwood Port, the scenery was so beautiful. The weather was always cloudy and rainy. I didn't know it then, but I could truly feel like this place... was home. I never realized home was much more than a roof over my head. I had lived my life believing where you lived was home. That is truly not the case. Home is where your heart is and it can be way bigger than just you or any ordinary home for that matter.
I never expected to find a home other than the roof over my head, neither did I expect to find love. In fact, I could never imagine falling in love with two people.
Until I met Alec Anakin Winchester-Herondale.
