Marianna, Alec and Charlotte were waiting for Raquel to wake up, she kept moving in her deep sleep but didn't wake
Alec checked the time and said, "I better go-"
"Yes you better go back to your fiancé" Marianna mocked
"Wait his what?" Charlotte looked at Alec "I thought you and Raquel had something going on- what changed things?" She asked getting mad
"He says a political marriage would bring his family name back to honor" Marianna mocked again
"What?- wait so you proposed?" She snapped her head towards him, he was about to protest but then sighed defeated, then he nodded
"And I wasn't there to be with her- god" Charlotte mumbled to herself
Alec frowned his brows but shook his head looking back at his watch "no i really gotta go I've got work," before exiting the door he looked back at the unconscious female laying on the couch with a blanket spooning herself, the crook of his mouth slid up at the sight of her peacefully sleeping then left
"What a dick" Charlotte said to Marianna
"I'm still here!" Alec shouted from the other side of the door

It was now the next day, it was the day before the wedding, Raquel wouldn't admit it but it was washing her out- every little thought mattered now in her point of view she, every feeling she felt heightened.
She got a call that day saying that her partner crystal wasn't showing up, since what happened the other night weakened her, she couldn't really go to work or function fast enough
She felt it was weird that crystal hadn't showed up, but then again she wouldn't remember what she did to her
But she felt that something was off, something bad, and as soon as she thought that thought her phone beeped with a massage from Izzy that said
𝑰𝒏𝒒𝒖𝒊𝒔𝒊𝒕𝒐𝒓 𝒔𝒂𝒚𝒔 𝒔𝒉𝒆 𝒘𝒂𝒏𝒕𝒔 𝒕𝒐 𝒔𝒆𝒆 𝒚𝒐𝒖,
𝑺𝒐𝒖𝒏𝒅𝒔 𝒖𝒓𝒈𝒆𝒏𝒕And with that she walked to the institute,
When she arrived there she spotted Alec looking at her as she entered, but he knew she wouldn't wanna talk with him, so he fought the urge to go right there and talk to her or ask if she was okay, he listened to her and stayed, but glancing at her every now and then
"What's so urgent?" Raquel asked
"Nothing I just wanted to see if you were okay- are you okay?" Izzy asked
"Your kidding- do you know how meany steps I had to take for not being able to use my magic" she sighed but smiled at the younger lightwood "but thanks- I'm fine I guess" but then she green confused "wait how'd you know?"
"Oh Alec came pretty late last night" Izzy answered
"Wait Alec?" She questioned getting more confused
"Yeah, he told me he stayed the night with your sister and Charlotte" Izzy answered typing on the computer
Raquel eyes softened, her head turned to Alec who was already staring at her, his cheeks reddened but he kept his gaze, they made eye contact for a while but not until Talia approached the two women
"Raquel Stain," Talia appeared "by the order of the clave you are under arrest for the murder of Randy Starland" Talia said while Raj cuffed her hands behind her
"Are you crazy?!" Izzy said
"On what grounds" Alec stoped raj from taking Raquel away
"He was killed by a warlock-" Talia answered
"a stain" raj added
"You know what Talia your no better than valentine- but at least he had the guts to tell downworlders to their faces he wanted them all dead. you?" Raquel paused "you hide behind the law"
"I don't hide behind it Raquel I simply follow it because it guard's against one very important thing Shadowhunters fighting other Shadowhunters" Talia said back
"If she's convicted she'll be sent to death and that will create war between downworlders and Shadowhunters- it will create another uprising I can't let that-" Alec tried to say but Deem cut him off her gaze still on Talia, she looked at the blonde with a stern cold look
"Don't" Raquel stopped him "It's not your fight" she said as she left the other two, her leaving with raj dragging her by the arm
Alec looked at Talia and sighed as he left her

Time passed as had been staying in a cell, she stayed in there counting the minutes
"Hey" a familiar voice called
"What are you doing here Alec?" She asked
"I'm getting you out of here okay- just hang in there," he said denying the fact that she doesn't want to him
"Why? Why are you helping?" She asked fretting up
His head that kept making sure no guards where there but when she asked him that he looked at her and said "because I care" her expression changed to a confused one "look I gotta go we're trying to find evidence on who killed Randy- well be back" and with that he left
