Alec POV

Jace always said love makes you weak, but since I saw Magnus yesterday I've had this strange feeling. I don't love him or anything, I mean I barely know him but whenever I try to think, there he is. Those deep black eyes are like a black hole pulling me along.

"Alec stop writing in your fucking journal, Jace and the others are hurt," Izzy screamed.

When I got to Izzy, Clary was limping in holding up both Jace and Simon. They were all covered in mud which was mixed in with blood running down their bodies. That's when the chaos erupted. Hodge and I were running with great speed to the infirmary, while Clary who was barely scraped; only a couple of bruises here and there, gave us the run down of their horrific night while we were all trying to restrain Jace to the bed.

"While we were flying across Manhattan, the sun started to rise which made the bike jerk. We were all trying to get down but the bike crashed and we all got injured, so we came back then." She was in so much shock I don't even think she noticed that she was rambling on. Hodge was more livid at Jace than anyone else and he even gave us all a lecture for lying to him about going to see Magnus, and about the fact that they broke one of the accords by putting a mundane life in danger. He was still shrieking at Jace when I noticed Clary leaving quietly. She gave Simon a weak wave like she was apologising for leaving him.

It was late when I heard the sound of Jace's sleepy snores from the next room. It had been days since their accident at the vampire hotel. I walked out into the gothic moon light that reflected through the arched windows. It was a twenty minute walk to Pandemonium. I arrived there and noticed that outside the club lined the latest bunch of tearaways that thought dying your hair pink would get whatever picture across to there "terrible" parents. Without the bouncer even batting an eyelash at me, I walked in; the power of glamour was a marvellous thing.

It was weird being here without seeing Jace hit on every girl, or Izzy driving so many drooling boys crazy with her dancing. When I decided to finally let my glamour slip, I stood out like a sore thumb. Even though I look pretty normal I could see people eyeing up the tattoos that were left behind from my runes. One girl in particular kept checking me out. She was extremely attractive; her short cropped black hair strikingly stood out against her pale complexion. She looked like a night child, but only through the eyes of a mundane. Walking over to her I let my instincts take over. She sat next to a male figure that was too busy with his tongue down someone's throat to even notice my existence. His "friend" on the other hand looked up at me, startled.

I turned to the black head and asked, "What's your name?"

"Leah. You?"

"Alec. Would you like to dance?"

She nodded in agreement, and we stood up to dance, swaying back and forth, occasionally bumping into each other, and after a couple of songs we headed back to the table.

She was pretty interesting; majoring in psychology would enable her to work with a bunch of feral people. Talk about tough.

"Alec?" Izzy was stalking towards us looking more like a model than ever with her sequenced white dress and 6 inch heels. I turned around to look at Leah; her pupils were hugely dilated, her self esteem dropping.

"Leah, this is my sister, Izzy."

"Nice to meet you." You could hear the nerves trembling in her voice. Izzy sat down next to Leah who was looking understandably uncomfortable.

Leah broke the silence with a look over at the dance floor, "they look smitten don't you think?"

Following her gaze I saw Jace and Clary dancing away sending vibes of jealously and lust in every direction. Girls were glaring at Clary with extreme hatred while Jace looked on with a smug grin.

"Who? Jace and Clary?" Izzy asked.

"Yeah, I mean look at them, their eyes haven't left each others even with the amount of attention they're getting…" I drowned out the rest. Leah was dead on accurate, I had never noticed it the last few days but the truth was, the things that I could see between Jace and Clary were the exact same things that Magnus and I shared. The little sneaky looks. The small amount of flirting which could easily pass as being rude and in my case the red cheek scenario every time I think about him.

Isabelle brought me back to reality "Are you a witch?" she blurted out.

Leah gave her a weird look and laughed "No, I'm just pretty observant. Oh shit! I need to go".

I walked her out of the club where her friend was leaning against a black SUV.

She turned around and said, "Look Alec, I'm glad I met you tonight. It's been fun even though your mind kept wandering away".

"What?"

"Come on, I'm not stupid! You've obviously been thinking about someone."

"How did you know?" I asked, shock showing on my face.

"Observant remember. But a little advice; don't keep your feelings locked away. Tell whoever it is the truth because you'll feel a lot better if you do. Oh, and if it doesn't work out, call me!" she stepped onto her tip toes, pecked my cheek and without another word she left.

I just watched her get into the car. Maybe she was right, I should tell him. Honestly, what harm could it do? It's not like I was going to see him every day unlike Jace. I walked back to Izzy in a daze. I think she noticed because when I sat down she started waving her arms in front of me, trying to get me back into reality.

"Alec, snap out of it!" she shrieked.

"What?" I blinked.

"You need to sort things out in your head, do you know that?" Izzy for the first time in a while seemed angry.

Instead of answering her I lifted up one eyebrow.

She scowled "About Magnus, are you going to tell him you like him or what? I mean, sure he dresses kind of funny but he's still cute"

"I don't even know if I like him Izzy" I sighed.

"Well you need to find out then don't you!"

"How the hell am I meant to find out?"

"With a kiss"

"What? I'm not going to just walk up to him and start making out! I want to at least know him a bit."

"I didn't mean Magnus"

"If you're thinking about the mundane, you can fuck off"

She just laughed "He's completely straight, believe me"

"Fuck Izzy. Brother remember" I scowled.

"Actually I was thinking about Clary".

A/N - This is my first fanfic, so what do you think? I will upload the next part soon if you all like it. So will Alec ask Clary, and if he does what does she say?

If you have any constructive criticism to make my story better, then I would be happy to read it, so please review? Thanks =D
