Chapter 1

It began the night after the breakup. Isabelle was sitting in the library, studying, which was very rare for her. She heard the front door open and close and guessed that her brother, Alec had gotten back from his erinde. He didn't really tell her anything, but he was her brother. Her annoyingly correct and studious older brother. She threw the book over her shoulder and walked down the stairs the the front door. The sight that met her was heartbreaking. It seemed that Alec had only just gotten past the door, and was now sitting, crying, with his back to the hard wood.

"Alec? What happened?" Izzy asked panicked.

"M-magnus b-b-broke up w-with me." He said between sobs. Isabelle knew that her brother needed her, as she had needed him several times. Not asking questions or saying anything, just being there beside him. She sat down beside him and he put his head on her shoulder. They sat like that for a while before Alec got up.

"I need to get some sleep. Thanks Izzy." He said, though not smiling or looking directly at her. He was just too ashamed and his soul felt like it had been crushed completely.

"Do you want to tell me what happened.?" Isabelle asked her brother, who was halfway up the stairs.

"I'm sorry, but no izz." He said sadly.

It was morning. Izzy was on her way to wake her brother, both to get him up, and to see that he was okay. When she walked into his room, he was still asleep. Some people looked younger when they were asleep, but Alec looked like a little child. He was laying on his side and had curled into a ball. His face looked younger and the maturity in his eyes were gone. The black hair nearly hid his eyes. Except the tear streaks on his cheeks, he looked like a 5 year old. Isabelle lightly touched his shoulder.

"Izz?" Alec muttered, his eyes still closed.

"Mmh." She said.

"I want to sleep." He said, and in a way, he kinda sounded like he was five.

"You gotta get up." Isabella said gently. Her brother had had a rough night, but he had to practice.

"I don't want to get up."

"Alec come on." She said, her voice turning less gently and more persistent.

"Just leave me." He said. Isabelle got up and walked out of the door, without closing it. Then she ran down a few corridors, until she reached the room that she was looking for. She knocked on the door and a few seconds later, a halo of gold stood in the door.

"Hey izzy. What's up." Jace asked.

"You have to talk to Alec. This is your area of expertise." Isabelle said.

"What? Seducing ladies, looking hot or just being magnificent." Jace said. Isabelle rolled her eyes.

"Alec came home crying yesterday. He said that Magnus broke up with him." She said. Jace's smile fell quickly and he walked with hurried steps back towards Alec's room.

"Alec?" Jace asked gently. Jace had a weak spot for his parabatai. Both because at the same time, he was like a older brother and a younger brother. He sat down on the bed.

"Go away, jace." Alec said weakly, as I he was debating with himself if he wanted his siblings to leave or if he wanted them to stay.

"I know how you feel, dude. When I found out that Clary and I was related, I wanted to do the same as you are doing right now, but you just have to get out of bed and put one foot in front of the other, until the pain is somewhat bearable. It's hard, but it's necessary." Jace said. Alec looked at him

"Where did you read that." Alec asked

"Why Alec. It's my words of wisdom." Jace said, smiling. And to his great enjoyment, so did Alec
