Could it be Me or Her?

Chapter 13

Alec's POV~~~~

I knew they were all here. They were so loud, not just that it was the smack of skin hitting skin that caught my attention. Izzy was so in for it. They were too caught up in each other to notice me, "You don't have to apologise to Me, Izzy or even to Jace" I said. All 3 of them spun around looking at me. 

"ALEC!!!!" Izzy came running up, "Don't you dare do that to us ever again" She said smacking me on the chest before pulling me into her tight grip. She held on for a good few minutes before pulling away to let Jace give me a hug. Catarina came over to tell me to take it easy for a few days, but the wedding was in a couple of days. I was so not ready for it. 

I didn't even want to marry her. I want to marry the brown doe eyed boy in front of me. Who knows if that would ever be a reality. 

The last few days leading up to the wedding have been chaotic. I haven't had 5 minutes of peace to think without someone coming up to me asking me which colour I want or what food should be there or the type of cake I wanted. Then there were all the meetings with my mother and father and the Clave with Lydia about the marriage and the agreement and what would be expected of us and honestly I stopped listening after the word ceremony. 

Today's the day. I know I should look forward to it but I just don't have it in me and Izzy knew that. We were getting the last little bits ready and she was doing my hair styling me today. This was really it. It was happening. There is no getting out of it now. No going back.

Everyone was already in the ops room. Chairs spread out for all the guests. I was walking with Izzy and Jace to the main room. We got situated at the top of the make shift isle, the gold and blue colours making me hate the shades. I stood up front waiting, The music starts to play and Lydia walks down the isle to where Izzy is stood. 

We exchange gifts, she gave me a bracelet and I gave her a necklace. She took the stele and put it to the rune, I was freaking out. There was no out now, it was really happening. that was until the doors were heard, the creaking pulling me out of my overwhelming thoughts. I look up to see the brown honey doe eyed boy I had fallen for, in a beautiful maroon tux. "Who invited Stiles?" I heard in the background coming from Jace. "I did, but I didn't think he would actually show" Izzy said almost astounded.

I looked at him and I couldn't breath. All the air had been sucked out of my lungs just looking at him, I turned to Lydia but she seemed to know before my mouth even opened. "Hey, It's okay." She said. "But" I tried to protest. "Go!" she said to me softly. I didn't need to be told twice. 

I faced Stiles and could see my mother talking to him "You need to leave right now Stiles." She started. "Enough Maryes, this is between me and your son. If he wants me to go I will. But it has to come from him." he defended. I started my way down the stairs but my mother beat me to it. "Alec! what do you think you are doing. Turn around and walk back up those stairs" She demanded me. "Yeah, no. I'm not doing this" I said to her. "Oh yes you are. The Clave will not be happy about this. You are really going to show up this family and tarnish the family name for this boy?!" she was such a hypocrite. 

"Oh you mean the one you already tarnished, At this point I can't really do anymore damage that you two already have. Now get out of my way" I said as I walked past her. I wanted to apologise but I can't. Not now. I started making my way towards Stiles. I finally reached him and pulled him close. His soft lips on mine was the last thing I could coherently think about. I was a goner.
