It's Complicated (a Malec AU)

Chapter Four: The Complicated Night

Alec Pov- "Your hair is impossible Alec" Aline complained as she took a comb through my hair to make it look presentable. "Maybe because he never brushes it" Helen said observing from my bed. I rolled my eyes getting more and more annoyed "can we please stop?" Aline sighed dropping the comb onto my dresser "fine, I just wanted to make you look good."

I got out of the chair making my way to my closet "just because we're going uptown doesn't mean I have to change every little thing about myself." I pulled out one of my sweaters and the moment I did Helen stood up and pulled it out of my hands. "No sweaters. Sebastian is bringing you some of his clothes."

"I don't want to dress like Sebastian" I said simply, crossing my arms. Aline shrugged "You could always dress like Magnus." I frowned looking out my door at Magnus who was dressed in in leather pants, a sequence unisex top, and a leather jacket. He completed the look with silver boots and a sparkly scarf.

"I don't think I'll be doing that ever" I said watching Magnus sit down and start applying makeup. He used liquid eyeliner to give himself a 'cat eye' as he called it and he used many shades of gray to make a 'shadow eye.' The cat eye eyeliner just made his cat eye contacts look more intense. "He really knows how to pull a look together" Aline said watching him as well.

Helen shrugged putting my sweater back in my closet "just suck up your pride and let us make you look good Alec. You lived uptown so you know what they expect you to wear." Jace walked into the room wearing nice jeans and a white button up shirt with a black suit jacket over it. "You're not ready yet Alec?"

I rolled my eyes before looking him over "why are you dressed so nice? Why are you all dressed so nice?" I asked looking around at everyone. I figured we would go somewhere small, get something to eat, and maybe go dancing. The way they were all dressed though said something completely different.

Jace smiled "we're going to your favorite restaurant and then we're going to crash a party." My jaw dropped in shock "we can't do that Jace. Everyone knows me at that restaurant and we can't just go to an uptown party. What if my parents were there?"

"I called Isabelle and she told me that both your parents went out of town for the night. She made us all a reservation and she's going to meet us at the restaurant." I felt a ping of excitement in my chest "we're going to see Isabelle?" He nodded smiling "she wouldn't take no for an answer."

I smiled happy I'll be able to see my sister after two long years. "Where is Sebastian with your clothes" Aline asked walking out of the room with Helen. Jace turned to follow them but I grabbed his arm "I need to ask you something." Jace faced me smiling "sure what's up?"

"You told me about what Isabelle's been up to but you haven't said anything about Max." Jace lost his smile at the mention of Max. "Alec... Max-""Sebastian is finally here and he has your outfit for tonight Alec" Aline said walking into the room. She pushed Jace out of the room smiling "get out so we can get Alec ready for a night on the town."

Jace walked out of the room and I frowned watching him. "Aline we were having an important talk." She grabbed the outfit from Sebastian before shutting the door "oh well, we have a deadline to meet." She shoved the outfit to my chest smiling "now get dressed."

Magnus Pov- I finished applying my makeup wondering if going uptown was a good idea or not. It sounded fun at first but the more I thought about it the worst I felt. Everyone in uptown knows who I am because they know who my parents are. They also know who Alec is.

What will people think when they see Alec all of a sudden after two years of missing? Not just Alec but everyone else too. Aline got sent downtown because her father couldn't raise her anymore, Helen and her brother came here because their trying to raise money for all their brothers and sisters, and who knows why the hell Sebastian came here. People will notice all these missing people showing up all of a sudden.
