Mortal Instruments Go To Highschool

The party

It was the night of the party, none of them were really looking forward to it, but they were glad they had a distraction.

Magnus walked to the wine cellar and got one of his expensive, Dutch, champagne bottles, from the 1800's to start the part. He poured some from himself and Alec and handed the bottle to Jace.

The burning feeling in his throat pleased Alec. He never really enjoyed Magnus's parties. Although he really needed to get drunk now, he couldn't. He was still the older brother and he needed to be the responsible one.

Magnus got up to greet some of his guest and left Alec sitting on the couch.

After the first round of champagne came a second, and a third, and a fourth. Slowly all their feelings numbed.

Alec looked at his glass and when he looked up again he saw Magnus and a beautiful Indonesian girl kissing each other on the mouth.

Alec jumped up and saw Izzy glaring over at Magnus. Magnus realized what just happened and turned around to face the place were Alec was previously seated. He looked scared.

Alec broke his stare, turned around and ran toward the door that led to the staircase of Magnus's apartment. Izzy followed him hastily.

She finally managed to catch up with him about one block away from Magnus's apartment. He sat in the park. The park where their second date was, the park where he first told Magnus he loved him.

Izzy wanted to start yelling at Magnus, but she saw how hurt Alec was and that yelling now wasn't going to help. She sat down next to her big brother and didn't say anything.

Alec put his head in the crook of Izzy's neck and started sobbing. He managed to say something in between sobs.

'I.. I'm so childish. I know he has a past. But... It's just.. Why did he invite her? And why did he kiss her?'

Izzy put her arms around him. She was so mad at Magnus. She forgave him the first time he broke her brothers heart, but she wouldn't make that same mistake again. It killed her to see her brother this way.

'Maybe I'm just not exciting enough for a guy who lived as long as Magnus has.' Alec started sobbing again. Izzy swore to herself that she was so definitely going to kill Magnus.

She finally took Alec to the institute and put him in bed. She snuggled up next to him and she stayed until he fell asleep crying.

She walked out of Alec's bedroom and ran into Jace and Clary. They had ran away after the party to go after Alec, but they hadn't found him.

'Is he okay?' Clary asked.

'Of course not. He just saw the love of his life kiss another person. No one could be okay after that.' Izzy replied. She know it sounded too harsh and that Clary didn't mean anything bad, but she was still so angry at Magnus.

Clary imagined Jace kissing someone else, loving someone else, She couldn't bear the thought of it. She never realised she was so possessive.

She felt bad for Alec.

Alec woke up and suddenly remembered what took place the night before. He reached for his cell phone to check if there were any new messages. He saw what he secretly hoped for.

Magnus 12:05 pm

I'm sorry. It isn't what it looked like.

Magnus 23 missed calls.

Magnus 12:06 pm

Please call me.

And a lot more messages. He knew he shouldn't be happy with these messages and calls.

He just couldn't believe Magnus would do this to him. Certainly not with all this stuff with his parents going on. Was it really all a lie? Was he just a toy to amuse Magnus?
