2. Confusion (second is closer)

Alec's POV

"Magnus isn't usually violent..." Clary said, trying to convince me to forgive Magnus. I stared at her in disbelief. Oh, only if she knew...about Magnus and I's affair

"I don't believe that," I argued. It was hard enough to sneak in our house after midnight, but harder to wipe off all the makeup from Magnus "beating" me: he was actually helping me rehearse for a fight in the small play I was apart of. To others, it looked like he was actually hurting me but to the people who knew I was apart of the play knew the difference.

"Alec..."

"Stop defending him, Clary!" I sighed before leaving her alone.

"Alexander.." Magnus whispered in my ear when I entered our secret meeting spot in the courtyard, near the garden.

"Not now. I can't keep lying to Clary, it's time to go public.." I sighed, giving him a gentle kiss on the forehead.

"Alexander...."

"No more excuses, Magnus! Either we go public or it's over between us!" Magnus pouted.

"Then I guess it's over then..." I sighed after Magnus left. Having Magnus in my life made it a little better to live but now that we've broken up, I have no reason whatsoever to live, not even Clary.

"I love you too, Magnus," I whispered. The rest of the day seemed to go very slowly. I watched in jealousy when the bitch and Magnus made out in front of everyone and was extremely happy.

"Alec, are you alright?" Clary asked during study hall, my last period of the day.

"I'm fine... just ready to go home," I answered. After that, the best moment of my entire life happened.

On my way home, I noticed Camille's state of unhappiness and anger, making me smile. I would've said I felt bad for her, but honestly, no one likes her, not even her "boyfriend."

Tomorrow, my life would be completely different and I knew I wouldn't be complaining.
