Chapter 1: The Party

It has been one year exactly from the first time I met Magnus. He is most likely having a party right now for Chairman Meow. Again. Well that was how I met him the first time. Thanks to Clary.

I turn onto my side in the bed. No Alec you must stop thinking about him! He probably has another boyfriend already. I'm such an ass to myself sometimes. Boyfriend or not I still love that bastard!

I sit bolt right up in the bed. I throw away the comforters and sprint into my small bathroom. I grab a comb and some hair spray. It takes about 20 minutes before I can get a decent look. I run my fingers through it to give it a more natural appearance. I walk to my closet and throw it open. I grab a white dress shirt that hugs my sides, a pair of black skinny jeans Izzy bought me, simple dress shoes, and a thin black coat. I put them on with great urgency. I'm half way to my door when something shiny catches my eye. A bottle of liquid sits on top of my dresser. As I approach it I'm surprise to find that it isn't a bottle of alcohol but instead cologne. Right now I remember, Izzy took away all the liquor we had after I began to constantly drink. I give myself a quick squirt then I'm rushing down the hall.

I walk up the steps to Magnus's apartment. Am I really doing this? What the hell is wrong with me?! Too late now you should have thought this through before idiot! Angel I'm so annoying! I press the buzzer before I can decide otherwise. I wait for a moment and then I hear a female voice. A little husky and slightly deep. "Sup?" she says casually. "I'm here for the party," I reply a little taken back at such a strange response. "Mmmk. You can come up." I race up the stairs. I can already hear the music and the clamor of guests. The door is slightly ajar. I push it open hesitantly. When I don't see Magnus, I take a few more steps in till I'm standing amid the crowd. I look around for another moment or two. Finally I see his spiky and glittery hair above the crowd. He looks up from his conversation with a girl with multi-colored hair and a man with hot pink hair and pink skin. He catches my eye and I see a quick sign of happiness pass through his eyes before it's replaced with anger, sadness, and annoyance. He stalks off towards his room. The pink skinned man following, calling his name.

The girl on the other hand turns and looks at me. She slips through the crowd until she is standing in front of me. She is the exact same height as Magnus. Her hair is black in front, blue in the middle on one side, black in the back, and purple in front opposite of the black. She has cat eyes too. They're an icy blue with slivers of silver in them like a river after winter. She has a piercing on her left eyebrow and 2 below her lips. A cuff earring was placed on the top of her ears which were slightly pointed. A black tail protrudes from behind her swishing impatiently. A black spaghetti strapped shirt clings to her perfect form but it stopped abruptly in the middle of her stomach showing off another piercing on her navel. Her lips a light rose color that looks like they have not been touched by any lipstick or gloss. On her left arm were the words 'Grimm' going down vertically so the letters were on top of each other. My eyes rake her body until I get to her hips. She isn't wearing any pants. Or shoes. I look back up at her mystical eyes. Black eye shadow fades to a crimson red on her eye lids and black eye liner surrounding them, making them look bigger than they really are.

"What is it about you that makes Magnus want to drop dead on the spot?" she asks with her hands on her hips.

"I didn't mean to upset him"

"Well then why did he?"

"I don't know! But I really need to talk to him! It's very important."

But before she can answer the pink skinned man walks over. "How is he?" the girl asks with a worried look on her face. "He won't come out of his room. And yes I have tried everything that he allows in the apartment but he won't come out." His eyes took me in quickly. Not much to my surprise, they were purple. "And who is this?"

"No idea but he was the one Magnus made eye contact with before he left."

"He's kinda cute if you ask me"

"Well no one asked you so go hang out with your BOYFRIEND! Do I have to remind you that you have one?"

"He doesn't have to know," the man said taking a half step closer to me. A crooked grin plastered across his face and a wicked look in his eyes.

"Oh no you don't," said a deep voice from behind. A hand reached out from the crowd and tugged the man in by the back of his collar. "I'm guessing that that was his boyfriend?" I said attentively looking at the spot where the man had disappeared. I turned back to the girl but she didn't answer. Instead there was a scowl across her face.

"What?"

"Come with me"

"Why?"

"You wanted to see Magnus didn't you?"

"Yeah but I already know where his room is"

"None the less follow me"

"But-"

"Before you talk to Magnus, you talk to me"

"Fine," I said and I followed her into the crowd.

I had to jog to keep up with her long legged, fast pace. We walked through the living room which was quiet and deserted, then we went down the hall to the last spare bedroom on the left. She opened the door and stepped back allowing me in. once inside she shut the door and locked it making the room pitch black. I heard a snap and the room lit up with light. She took a seat in a chair that stood next to the bedside table.

"Please sit we have a long talk ahead of us," she said gesturing to the bed as she let the 'o' go on for a few seconds before continuing to the next letter.

"What is it that you want to talk about?"

"Who are you and what is your relationship between yourself and Magnus?"

"My name is Alec Lightwood and I am Magnus's recent ex-boyfriend" I flinched slightly at my use of words and hoped that she didn't catch it. She did.

Her face softened with understanding and pity. Her eyes growing warming, despite their color, and relaxing from the death stare she had locked on me. She leaned back into the chair with her legs crossed underneath her still crossed arms.

"How long were you together?" she asked quietly.

"5 or 6 months. But it felt longer than that." I added quickly. She nodded her approval.

"It makes sense."

"What do you mean?"

"Well Magnus used to be so happy when I used to come and visit, but now he just sulks around drinking. In fact this was the first time I've seen him sober in a month."

"By the Angel I really wish we hadn't broken up"

"Is that why you are here? To tell him you're sorry that you're not coming back?" she said standing to her full height. "Or are you hear to get him back?" she said swooping in to sit next me on the bed a hint of hope danced in her cat like eyes.

"The later. I want him back, more than anything. I would die if I had to just so he would forgive me."

She touched my cheek ever so slightly with the tips of her fingers, making me shiver. "I believe you when you say that you would die for him. He would do the same for you too," she said and she smiled. Her little cat fangs glistened in the dim lighting. She stood and she hauled me up with her, dragging me out the door and towards Magnus's bedroom.

When we stopped she gave me a light smile before banging on the door with her fist. "Magnus?! It's Brook let me in I need to talk to you!" she yelled over the music. A blue spark flew out from the door handle with a click, unlocking it. She stepped into the room, shutting the door behind her.
