Alec POV (what alec is thinking is in italics)
"I'm sorry Alec, it's for the best, my kind and your kind don't exist in harmony anymore; sometimes things just don't last." Then he kissed me for a final time and left the room. That was the last time I would ever feel his lips against mine, the last time I would ever feel truly content.
I could feel the blood rising in my cheeks, and the tears welling up in my eyes. I wouldn't cry, I couldn't, not if I wanted to keep my dignity. I turned around and left the room, knowing that if I stayed there any longer I would be reminded of what Magnus and I had been doing in there the first night we had gone public. I couldn't go and see Jace, or Isabelle, they would know something was terribly wrong, they knew me too well. So I went to the only person I knew would be oblivious to there being anything wrong with me at all. Clary.
I knocked on the door of her room and heart her soft voice say:
"Come in"
I slid the door open to see her sitting on her bed, her hair dripping, in only a towel.
"Oh sorry Alec, I thought you were Jace, oops."
"That's ok Clary, good shower?" damn, I never said things like that; play it cool Alec, play it cool.
"Errm yes thanks, what have you been up to?" shit, what should I say
"Oh nothing, I've just been in the library, errm studying."
"Oh that's funny, I was just in the library before my shower, I didn't see you there." Oh shit.
"Well, errm I just went there now before that I was…"
"Alec you're blushing, besides I know you well enough to know you're lying. What is it? Is there something you want to tell me? Ok now I had to tell her what was going on.
"Well… just promise not to tell anyone ok?"
"Sure, you have my word."
"It's Magnus, he left me about 10 minutes ago, he said that our kinds didn't get along so it was never going to work." My voice broke on the last word and a tear fell down my cheek. I felt so stupid.
"Aaw Alec, come here." She must have forgotten that she was only wearing a towel because she ran over to me and pulled me in a hug so tight that it knocked the breath out of me. "It's ok Alec; it will be fine, I'm so sorry."
"just don't tell jace ok?"
"of course not ." she said, still hugging me with all her force. I had to admit it felt nice to have a friends arms, any arms around me, it felt nice, warm, so I hugged her beck and we stood there while she made comments like, I can't believe Magnus would hurt you like that, and, I'm in the right mind to go round there and tell him what for, for about 10 minutes, then the door burst open.
