Jace looks at her and stroked her cheek fondly. Tears in his eyes as he let her sit up. He listened and felt worse and worse. "I tried...I tried to get back faster. They wanted me to never leave. They said the awfulest of things. My wings look like tattoos upon my back now. I am such a failure." He says. His head lowering as he looked at her. "I won't ever let you be scared ever again. Please Mika...please forgive me for not being stronger. For not being strong enough to get free faster." He says pleadingly. He looked at her and shaked his head. "Mika...that isn't true. I could never stop thinking about you. You were the reason I fought so hard. The reason I suffered torture and torment. I was trying please forgive me." he says.<br/><br/>Pulling her close and nodds his head. "As you wish Mika." He says softly. You could hear the sorrow and torment he felt at failing her. "I'm sorry I failed the one person I cherished more than anyone else....that was never the intent. I won't make excuses. I can only tell you that I will never, ever leave again. I don't care if the Almighty himself commands it. I won't leave your side. Please give me the chance to help you remember the kindness and love." He lay hi head on hers. "Mika you are the only person that ever mattered to me. You still are." He says sadly. A soft angelic tear trailed down his cheek and hit the ground. Making it seem to shimmer and sparkle.<br/><br/>"Mika...." he says sadly. "...I won't ever fail you again. From now on...you will have me in your life. I will throw away anything else. Whatever else I am you were always the most important person in my life. I will stay with you and never leave you. Let me make it up to you. Let me make things better for you. Even if you no longer care about me I will always love you. That is what I wanted to tell you that year. I went to get you that thing you wanted. Then a demon attacked me. Sent me to hell saying he was destroying the world. All I could think of was I had to get back to you."<br/><br/>He kisses the top of his head like he used to do. Holding her securely in her arms. He felt like he was worst than evil. He was the biggest failure.
