The grass was tall around us and the area we parked at smelt like dirty water. It was late and the moon was out in its full glory, twinkling with the stars. Everywhere I looked the buildings looked crumbled and in ruins. I squinted my eyes and I swear I could see a graveyard in the distance. I crinkled my nose. "Ew." I muttered. Clary slammed the door and Simon made a fool of himself in front of Isabelle.
"Stay here." They told the mundies before walking away. I walked in a different direction. Following the bridge until I got to the service entrance that was covered in runes and skeletons. This had to be what they were looking for!
"Well, look what I found." I smirked at the gates of hell before I walked back towards the van. Jace and Alec were having a moment with each other. I looked hard at them, at the look in Alec's eyes and I saw something completely unexpected. The look in his eyes was much fonder than it should be. It almost looked like Alec was in love with Jace. I looked back towards Simon and Clary and Simon was wearing the same look that Alec had on now. Maybe it was too soon for me to start accusing him of things. Alec stormed away and I decided to follow after him.
I ran threw the trees until I was by his side. I looked up to him and stayed quiet for once, just letting him think, trying to comfort him with just my presence. We went back and followed the others to the City of Bones and after Alec got fed up with Simon I walked away with him.

"What are you doing Kat?" He asked me with a sigh.
"I'm minding the perimeter with you." I said walking faster to keep up with his larger strides. I bit my lip to stay silent. I just wanted to explode with all the questions I wanted to ask him.
"What?" He stopped walking and turned to face me. I craned my neck back to look at him wincing at the movement. My little 'power nap' hadn't fully healed me so I was still a little sore.
"What, what?"
"What are you dying to tell me?" I opened and closed my mouth trying to decide what to say first. Should I ask him about the Jace thing? No. That's too personal for how long we've known each other. This is literally like the third time we're having a conversation.
"You're really confusing. Did you know that?" I finally decided to say. He gave me a puzzled look. "No, I mean that the first time we talked you were all adorable and kind of shy. And then you were all sweet by actually giving a shit about me when I got knocked out but now it seems like you wish I was anywhere else but here." He turned and kept walking again.
"You're confusing me too and I don't know what I'm suppose to feel right now. Like you're really pretty and I think I actually like you, and I don't like anybody but..."
"There's somebody else too. Isn't there?" He nodded his head but wouldn't look at me. I hesitated and debated if saying what I was thinking was a good idea.
"Is it... Jace?" And now the cat's out of the bag. Whoops.
"I don't want to talk about it."
"You can tell me Alec. It's okay if it is him, I understand. There's nothing wrong with liking other guys."
