Arranged {Shadowhunters season 1} •book 1•

Chapter 12

I am going to kill Jace. I can't believe he took Meliorn and attacked Alec, I can't believe that he would do that to Alec. Their bond is weaker than ever, and who nows how long it is till it breaks. Izzy was only trying to protect him, Meliron was something to her, that I get. But Jace was doing this because of that orange bitch. She was ruining him, and his parabati. I was standing with Alec currently, my arms crossed as I looked around the institute. Lydia and some guy walked in and she stopped at me and Alec.
"I'm sorry." She said, looking at Alec more than me. I gave her a confused look, watching her walk up to Izzy. The guy went to Izzy's side and held onto her upper arm. My stomach dropped and I didn't wait to hear the next words before passing out. I dropped to the ground, Alec catching me just before I hit it.

-inverted word Silver pov-
I laughed at Izzy, twisting my braid around as I glanced at Alec out of the corner of my eye. He was sooooo hot. Like honestly he kills me, but he would never go for me. Not like it would matter anyways, I have a boyfriend. Clary was here too, but she seemed really off and out of it. She didn't even remember Alec's anniversary party tonight at the institute! She totally blew Jace off earlier too,, and those two never do that.
"Silver, I got to go. You're just gonna stay here right?" Izzy said, getting up and gathering her stuff while slightly spazzing out. I looked at her concerned, if she got bruised up before Alec's party he would never forgive her. She rushed out, leaving me with Alec. I gulped nervously, going back to my reading.
"You will be at the party tonight, won't you?" Alec asked, coming closer to me. I tensed up, my eyes growing big. He was talking to me! I did not plan for this. Nope. Nada, not happening. Abort mission needs to be put in action, now. I shot up, laughing nervously and nodded fast before darting out of the living room and into Izzy's. I shut and locked the door, breathing heavy. That was close, too close. A knock sounded at the door and I panicked.
"Yeah?" I called out weakly, closing my eyes and scrunching my face up nervously.
"Can you open the door?"
"No!"
"And why is that?" Alec asked with a smirk to his voice.
"Because...because I'm changing!" I yelled out the first thing that came to my mind.
"Well open it when your done." He said. Panicking I threw off my floral dress and kicked off my white heels, rushing to Izzy's closet. I grabbed a pair of shorts made out of the same material as sweatpants, and a loose crop top that ended above my belly button. I took a deep breath, trying to calm myself before walking to the door and grabbing the doorknob. I sucked in a breath, pulling the door open after unlocking it. I looked up at Alec with wide eyes, smiling awkwardly when he grinned at me.
"Yeah?" I squeaked. He placed his hands on the doorframe, blocking my exits.
"Your coming tonight, right?" He asked, his gaze paralyzingly me.
"Uh-yeah? Yeah!" I said hesitantly, forgetting what he was talking about for a moment.
"Do you have a date?" He asked, causing me to stop breathing.
"I have a boyfriend!" I exclaimed wildly, pushing him back harshly and slamming the door shut in his face and locking it. Oh my god. Oh my god! What the hell did I just do? Oh my god. Oh my god, I just totally embarrassed myself! I will never be able to even look at him again. I need Izzy to get back here, because I am going die of embarrassment if I have to see Alec. I pulled out my phone, quickly texting Izzy.
Silver🔥: when are you going to be back????? This is an emergency!!!!! Code 20345!!!!! This is not a drill!!!!
Izzy🔥: I doubt your problem is bigger than mine! I got kicked in the face and have a massive bruise, Alec is going to kill me!!!!
Silver🔥: I'm about to cry😢😢😭😭whyyyyy must this happen to us?!?!??
I dropped my phone and fell back onto her bed. At least she could fix her problem, a little foundation and she'll be just fine. But I just made my entire life awkward. I was over here practically all day, everyday so I'll be seeing the person who causes me to be so painfully awkward everyday. My life could literally not be any worse.

Izzy hurriedly unlocked the door and rushed in. Panic was evident on her face and I grimaced at the large and purple bruise on her left eye. I immediately took out concealer and sat her down, dabbing it on her face to cover the bruise.
"Is that my color?" She asked worried, referring to the foundation sitting on her bedside table.
"Close enough." I muttered, going back to covering her bruise with the concealer. Thank god for total coverage concealers, they are life savers. When I was done the bruise was completely done, the only reason it stood out was because it paled a large part of the left side of her face. However, a good layer of foundation will fix that. I had just started covering it with foundation when Clary bursted into the room. I looked at her relieved, at least she was acting the same with us. Izzy and I were super worried earlier, Clace is our ship. We would ship me and my boyfriend but our ship name is super weird. Like what kind of ship is Bayland, that sounds like some old tv show. At least it isn't our first name one, it sounds like some old couple. I let Clary finish up, leaving to go get ready at my boyfriend and my apartment.
"Babe? I'm back!" I yelled, getting no reply. I rolled my eyes, he was always out doing some weird thing so it wasn't anything new. I crouched down and pet my cat who had padded over to me. Church didn't exactly like my boyfriend that much, so I was the only one who ever let her. I ruffled her fur before going into my bedroom and changing. I pulled on my black dress and slipped on my white heels, a pair of lacy cat ears adorning my head. Since the party was inspired by Alice In Wonderland I decided to play up on the idea, like many others. My inspiration was the Cheshire Cat, obviously. I waited for ten minutes before leaving, wishing that my boyfriend would have came home before I left. He had promised to my date, and I guess he forgot.
