DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN SHADOWHUNTERS. ALL RIGHTS ARE CASSANDRA CLARES.
This is my first time writing fanfiction, I have no idea how it will turn out or where I am going with it. But I hope you all like it. Please feel free to leave me reviews.
Thank you.
"Please Alec", Izzy begged, "it will be fun". Alec hated saying no, he had the incessant need to please people.
"Alright fine, I'll go if it means you will stop nagging me".
A few seconds later the sound of Isabelle screaming rang through his ears, "Thank you" she said with excitement. "I'll be round in an hour to help you get ready".
Alec sighed, "I can dress myself you know, I have been doing it for years".
Izzy chuckled, "big brother, your idea of fashion is oversized faded jumpers with holes in them. I'll see you in a bit."
"Fine, see you later." Alec hung up the phone and threw it on his bed, he knew there was no point in arguing with his sister, she always got what she wanted. He sighed and slumped down onto his bed, he knew that going on a double date with your younger sister was weird and embarrassing, but Alec had always been close with his siblings, they were his best friends. They supported Alec with everything and had stuck by him when their parents disowned him for being gay. He had hidden the truth from everyone, Izzy had been the only one who knew, and he hadn't even told her, she somehow just knew and had promised to keep it a secret until Alec was ready to tell everyone. His parents were very religious and believed that homosexuality was a sin and doomed you to hell, but Alec couldn't change who he was no matter how hard he tried. He pretended to be interested when Jace would talk about all the hot girls he was dating, he would watch football games like a 'normal' guy and he had even tried dating a girl. Alec never wanted to disappoint his parents, he loved and respected them more than anyone in his life, but he could no longer live a lie.
He had never thought that he would be strong enough to come out to his parents, but his siblings gave him the power to finally admit who he was and feel no shame. He came out to Jace one random night when they were watching a film, Jace had been going on about the hot girl in the movie and how big her boobs were. Alec became annoyed at having to hear about the same thing over and over whenever Jace saw a girl. He didn't even have time to think before the words "I'm gay" came out his mouth. Jace didn't even turn to look at him, he simply said "I know" and carried on watching the film.
"You know?" Alec said shakily.
Hearing the quiver in his brother's voice, Jace paused the film and turned to face Alec, "Yeah, I've always known."
"Why didn't you say something to me?" Alecs heart had begun pounding and his breathing quickened.
Jace was smiling, "I wanted you to tell me yourself when you were ready."
Alec suddenly felt bad for waiting this long to tell Jace, but he had been afraid that he would think differently about him and not want to be around him because he felt uncomfortable.
"Does it bother you, that I'm gay?" he could feel the worry burning inside of him.
"No. Alec, you're my brother, it doesn't bother me who you want to sleep with, as long as you're happy and they're not better looking than me." Jace winked and pulled Alec into a hug.
After telling Jace, Alec had realised that there was nothing to be afraid of, Jace had known all along and never acted any different towards him, this gave him the confidence to tell his parents. They were his parents, it was their job to love and support their children no matter what. Alec was snapped out of his reverie by the sound of his doorbell, he sighed and sat up, he walked to the door and opened it to see his sister standing there with 4 bags in her hands.
She had a mischievous look on her face, "Let's do this"
This chapter was quite short due to it being the first one, I wanted to get a feel of the story and characters first. Each chapter will vary in length. Please leave reviews and thank you for reading War of Hearts.
