" Alec !" I called, Running down the street towards Magnus's apartment " Alec " I yelled again, this time slamming my fist against the oak wood of the front door. The rain was tipping it down, a never ending torrent of cascading water, drenching me from head to toe. There was a noise from overhead and I looked up furrowing my brow
" Isabelle ?" Magnus's voice called down and I rolled my eyes.
" Yes it's me " I retorted. The noise of the window closing sounded and a few seconds later the front door opened to show a very flushed Alec, his hair tousled around his face.
" I don't even want to know what you guys were just doing " I muttered.
" that's good because I'm not telling you " he replied, stepping back to let me in. I walked past him and upturned stairs into the flat. There was signs of what they had been doing but Magnus didnt looked phased at all, where Alec was a mess Magnus just looked calm and content hiding the fact of what had been going on.
" Your boxers are on the floor... Just thought you should know" I smirked, pointing to Alec's boxers which were hanging off the back of the sofa. Magnus jumped up and grabbed them who in them in a draw
" They weren't his boxers ... They were um... His hat " he muttered and I rolled my eyes, avoiding the sofa and sitting down on the floor instead.
" I dont really care you don't have to panic. Anyway there's more important things going on " I stated and watched as Alec walked in furiously red but his hair patted down and back to normal. He sat on the sofa and looked at me.
" what do you mean ?" He asked, as I untied my braid and tried to dry it from all the rain water. My shadowhunter gear was clogged with water making the leather uncomfortable and cold.
" I mean " I snapped slightly " that Dad is home " I stated and Magnus furrowed his brow and smirked.
" thank god for that I thought you were gonna say someone had died with the way you were talking" he admitted and I rolled my eyes standing back up and pacing.
" Magnus ... Someone has not died so you don't have to worry, now can I please get on with what I wanted to say " I said, my words rushing out as I looked back at Alec who looked very forlorn " anyway ... He and mum are splitting up " I finally said, stopping in my pacing and sighing.
" About time " Magnus muttered and I turned glaring at him.
" I know you don't like our dad Magnus and I know Alec doesn't either but after all he's done he's still our dad. He's still the one who taught me to become the shadowhunter I am and I still love him for that " I snapped bitterly, turning away and running a hand through my hair before turning back to him " I'm sorry " I mumbled and he shook his head standing up
" don't be... I didn't realise you felt like that " he admitted and I smiled weakly. Alec stood up and didnt say anything as he walked out the room.
" where's he going ?" I asked Magnus who frowned and shrugged.
" I'm not sure " he admitted before following after him. I sighed watching as he closed the door behind himself. I tied my hair back up and headed out the door as well grabbing my jacket, which hadn't dried at all.

I followed Alec into our bedroom and frowned seeing him sat on the edge of the bed, his head in his hands and his eyes squeezed shut.
" Alec ?" I asked quietly, walking toward him and sitting on the floor infront of him. He looked up giving a weak smile as I smiled back and waited for him to talk.
" I don't know if I want dad back... Izzy's right I don't really like dad but then she does and it breaks my heart to see her upset but then I know it breaks her heart to see me hurting and if I let dad go then our problems with him would be gone " he explained, looking at me and for once I listened intently to what he was saying and didnt add in some random comments about coffee or glitter.
" Izzys the only one who still wants him in our life and I can't blame her he is our dad. But I just don't understand how she can still love him after everything he's done to me and to her, not to mention mum " I sighed, taking his hand in mine and squeezing it gently.
" Calm down... We can think this over, talk to Izzy about it and see what conclusion we can come up with " I explained, rubbing my thumb along the back of his hand as I stood up " lets have some coffee that always cheers everyone up " I smiled, in the hopeless attempt to cheer him up. I was half tempted to throw a party but knowing Alec that would just make him even more depressed and self concious.

I had just shrugged my jacket back on when Magnus and Alec walked out their room.
" where you going ?" Alec asked, furrowing his brow and looking at me. I looked back but averted my eyes to Magnus who was muttering something to himself.
" home " I replied bluntly, then felt bad for it " I just mean, I didn't want to hang around and make everyone stressed so I was gonna go home and see how mum and dad are doing " I explained with a slightly friendlier voice. I noticed Alec sigh and run a hand through his hair as he glanced at Magnus.
" are you sure you wanna go home ?" He asked and I nodded but the. Thought about it frowning.
" no actually... Not really ... But then one of us has to be there" I mused, pulling on my newly done up braid. " I was thinking ... I think it was Max " I admitted, recieving a very confused look from Alec but I also noticed his whole expression change at the sound of Max's name and his complexion change to an even paler one.
" what do you mean it was Max ?" He asked and I flicked out one of my razor sharp pins from my hair fiddling with it in my hand.
" I mean mum and dad were falling apart befor ships death. But when he died maybe ... Their relationship died with him. It was rekindled when he was born and the flame just died out " I explained, opening the door and stepping out into the, now partially flooded, street. The rain still diving and tumbling from the heavens " and you may just think it's some deep crap but... How else was I going to explain it."
