Malec fanfic

Alec's Pov:

I'm completely lost without Magnus. It's like a hole in my heart that will never heal. Ever.

He was my second proper boyfriend, and he's going to be the last. I will not have my heart shattered again. Twice I was naive enough to fall in love. Never again.

My parents became worried about me during their visit home from Idris and have decided that it's best I live like a mundane for a while. Going to a proper college and making real friends that are guaranteed not to die at the hands of a demon. At least most mundanes don't die because of demons, I think. It was a bit of a relief to me when I got told by my father, I wanted as little to do with the shadow hunter world as I could for a while at least. Just until I became myself again.

When I told Isabelle, she had been really supportive and told me that a year away would do me good. I know she was saying it to reasure me, but it worked... That is until Jace found out. He went on an absolute rampage. He didn't like me leaving. I was needed, for Max and Isabelle although he didn't admit that he wanted me to stay too, but I could see it from the look in his eyes. I told him I didn't want to leave, but that it was best for everybody. He didn't believe me. However, after much persuasion from Isabelle he agreed to let me go. Ha as if he could force me to stay...He probably could actually.

So, I've just arrived in my new apartment that my parents bought me because it's right by the collage, without me having to share a flat or dorm with stupid mundies - as Jace so graciously worded it. He is such a hypocrite, because his girlfriend Clary lived as one for years before finding out that she was actually a shadow hunter, oh and her father was only Valentine freaking Morgernstern! I wasn't a big fan of Clary to start with becuase I found out that Jace was straight and I may have had a crush on him at the time, but I never loved him and then she went realised that I was into boys. Now though, I think Clary is amazing and anyone can tell from a mile away that she truly loves my parabti. I want him to be happy, after everything he's been through and he deserves it.

It is quite cozy here in the apartment actually. I think I like it. I could see myself staying here for longer than a year, that is if I'm not needed at home. Yes, it's a little lonely but the quiet is also kind of welcoming. I never got any peace at the institute what with Max always asking me to play or Isabelle and Jace arguing. The only time it was quiet at the institute was when Isabelle was with Simon and Jace was with Clary, even then Max had to be asleep.

I'm really quite tired from all the packing and moving in business. Once I've dumped my suitcase by the side of the worn, red fabric sofa I find my new bedroom. I don't even take in anything around me as I make a beeline for the bed. I lay down and promptly fall fast asleep.
