chapter six

Family trips were something Alec didn't particular enjoy; he was always nervous a previous one-night-stand would be out as he had slept with a lot of people. Or worse; someone who had seen his porn would come up to him when he was with his family. It was a constant fear.

But, the beach was Alec's favourite place. He couldn't deny the request to go out to the local beach from his parents, as it was boiling outside and he didn't have any plans today. Plus, he knew he would be seeing shirtless guys. 

On the hour-long journey to the beach, Alec recieved a text from Marley. Alec had been so distracted by Magnus he hadn't wasted a single thought on Marley, and tried to be blunt with Marley as much as he could be.

Marley asked if he wanted to meet with a picture of his dick, Alec rolling his eyes and quickly typing that he was busy with his family, locking his phone again before any of his siblings could see the explicit picture. Alec was sat next to Max, too. That would be catastrophic.

Alec had told his parents that him and Aline broke up, but were still on good terms, after she told him that she couldn't keep pretending. It would mean, at least, that they would stop asking about it.

 "Maybe you can find a new girlfriend at the beach, Alec." Maryse joked as she looked in the rear-view mirror, her husband in the passenger seat letting out a small chuckle. Alec tried to hide his cringe, smiling falsely and forcing out a dry laugh.

Jace taunted, "What does your ideal girl look like, then?" Jace knew very well how much of a flaming homosexual Alec was, but found it funny to keep pushing his buttons. It was a brother thing.

Alec clenched his jaw and turned to Jace with a knowing look, sighing deeply, everyone now looking at him. "I like someone who works out and has a big . . . personality. I like someone with good hair; hair is important." Alec said, biting his tongue to stop himself from going into detail on pulling at their hair.

Jace and Isabelle looked on the brink of laughter, Isabelle not being able to help a few small giggle slip out. Maryse and Robert looked at each other, confused, Max too distracted by his comic book to care.

Isabelle shrilled when they got there, leaping out of the car in her sandals and bikini, looking ecstatic and beautiful, as per usual. A group of men walked past and wolf-whistled at her, one guy yelling for her to take her bikini off and laughing like it was the funniest thing in the world.

 "Don't fucking talk to her like that," Alec sneered at them when he got out of the car after them, seeing Isabelle wrap a towel around her body, looking embarrassed. They turned around to look at Alec, looking him up and down.

One of the men laughed, "What do you want, asshole? A punch in the face?" Alec squinted his eyes in anger, going to hit him, Isabelle stepping in front of him. "Alec, it's fine. Chill." Isabelle said, Alec looking down at her with a saddened look.

 "Iz, you're 16. They're at least twice your age, that's disgusting." Alec said angrily, shooting them all daggers when he looked up. "It happens all the time, just let it go." Isabelle whispered pleadingly, Alec clenching his fists by his side.

It made Alec upset that things like this happened to Isabelle daily, and it had happened so much that she just ignored it. Isabelle always liked to look her best, for herself, and when men in public yelled at her it made her more self-conscious. She hoped one day, things like that wouldn't happen.

The guys disappeared quickly, Alec putting an arm around Isabelle and guiding her towards the actual beach where their family already sat. "I think I'm going to stick with you," Alec told Isabelle, Isabelle giving Alec an amused smile.
