Xavier’s POV
The moment everyone is gone Clary turns slowly to face me and I fight the urge to grab her and hold her tightly in my arms until I look into her eyes.
The look of raw pain visibly displayed in them makes my heart constrict painfully and I don’t even bother trying anymore and reach out my hand to grab her shakily.
Seeing my hand reach out to her must have struck something in her as fat hot tears roll down her cheeks and I panic in fear that my actions may have been disrespectful.
Retracting my arm to my side in defeat, I turn my face to tye side to avoid eye contact, only for her to release a sob and run strait into my arms, clinging unto me for dear life.
She sobs hysterically as I rub her back soothingly with my own eyes filled with tears while placing kisses in her hair
