Chapter Three: "We Meet Again…"

Of Lights, Camera, Action!

A/N: *IMPORTANT* I am skipping a day between last chapter and this chapter, so now they are all flying to LA. I did this for one reason; I couldn't figure out what they would do on that day and that's why this chapter is so late. :(

Sorry this is so short, but I am working on the next chapter and it could be up by tomorrow. :)

I got some reviews about keeping the characters in character, but sometimes I want the roles to be reversed to make my story unique. I always fear that it will be cliché and no one wants all of their chapters to be cliché. If you feel like they are to OOC, please let me know.

I have never been to LA, so I don't know what it's like there or how long the flight is from New York. If you are from LA, live there, or have been there use your imagination. :)

Disclaimer: This story will have a lot of media references since they are famous (Like E! News), but none of them belong to me. All characters except Zeke Daniels and Vince Taylor belong to the lovely Cassandra Clare. Zeke and Vince are characters that I made up and can be used by someone else since I think their names are beast! I also own the plot.

Now that that's over, time for chapter three!

Enjoy :)

Alec Point of View

I arrive at the airport solo because Izzy didn't like what time our flight was, saying it was 'too early for a human to function properly'. We decided to just meet at the show's house that we will be staying in. I'm actually glad due to the fact that it gives me alone time before the next two months of being in a house with six other people. Since I only know two of them (Magnus and Izzy) introductions and 'bonding' will be almost immediate.

I checked my bags in and went to find my gate before getting a coffee. Coffee is my addiction and I'm not even worried about it. I just accept it because 1. It helps with a busy life and 2. It's totally and completely yummy!

I find the closest one from my gate and pull my hood down figuring the paparazzi shouldn't be this far in the airport.

"Welcome to Café Caffeine. I'm Alyssa. What can I get you?" She says without looking up from some magazine on the counter. Well that's rude I thought bitterly. At least look up, jeez.

"A cup of coffee and a blueberry muffin." She looks up and starts squealing. I look around, "Are you okay?"

"Oh. My. Gosh! You're Alexander Lightwood and you're boyfriend is Magnus Bane! I can't believe this is happening!" She squealed jumping up and down.

"What? He's not my boyfriend and where did you get this from?" I asked her as politely as I can.

She lifted the magazine and there was a picture of me and Magnus kissing at Java Jones. "A picture's worth a thousand words." She said with a cocky grin.

"Well, we're not together. It was just a kiss."

"Whatever you say, sweet cheeks. Here's your coffee and muffin." Alyssa said with a fake smile.

I got my order and headed to my gate and realized that they were loading the first class. I grabbed my carry-on.

When the plane was close to landing, I decided to shut my laptop down. The entire plan ride I spent sending and responding to emails from potential clients. Oh the joy! When the flight attendant said we could get off the plane, I waited for most people to get off before getting up. I found my bags quickly and I almost fell when I tried to stretch my legs out, but someone caught me

"Whoa there. You okay?" I would know that voice anywhere. Zeke.

I jumped away from him. "What are you doing here?"

He looked shocked at my tone, but I didn't try to apologize. "I have a performance at this new club here. What are you doing here?"

"I have the reality show to shoot. I'll be here all summer. I told you at Java Jones."

"I remember. It seems like a lot has happened at Java Jones lately."

"Look, I have a car to catch and unless you have something to say, I will be leaving." I tried to walk away, but he grabbed my hand.

"What does he have that I don't?" I was slightly taken back by this.

"Who?"

"Magnus Bane. You know the one you were kissing on the cover of practically every magazine!" he screamed, catching the attention of a few people around us.

"One, you need to lower your voice. Two, we aren't together. And three, it's none of your damn business. We're over, remember? I dumped you. Have a great fucking day!" I walked away pushing past people until I found a sign with my name on it.

"Alexander Lightwood?" I nodded. "I'm Hodge and I will be the group's driver for the summer."

"Hi, nice to meet you."

"Seems like you were having a pretty heated discussion with that young man that's walking this way."

"Oh, he's my ex. Can we go please? I don't want to talk to him again."

"Follow me." Hodge said with a grin. He led me to a blacked out SUV.

When I put my bags into the trunk and got into the backseat. I was looking at all the shops we passed and dosed off. I felt someone shaking me and tried to go back to sleep until I they hit me in the back of the head.

"Wake up, asshole!" Someone shouted into my ear.

"I'm up! I'm up!" I noticed it was Izzy. "When did you get here?" I grumbled. I looked around and saw this amazing house with the ocean right in front of it. I also saw a boardwalk that had various shops and restaurants. I saw at the very end of it was a lot of carnival rides. This summer is looking up after all.

"Details aren't important." She said nonchalantly.

I got out of the car and Izzy helps me get my three bags. I see her smirking at me the entire time, but I keep going up the stairs. I dropped my bags and turned to look at her, still smirking.

"Okay what's up?" I said slightly irritated.

"Oh nothing." She said all innocently as she stepped over the bags and walked into the door, but not before throwing me a wink over her shoulder. I groaned and walked up the stairs into the house.

As I was looking around the house I saw someone come down the stairs.

"Hello beautiful. We meet again."

Did you like it?

Who do you think it is, Magnus or Zeke? I'm trying to post chapter four tomorrow to make up for the time on this chapter, but I do have to pack for a trip so we will see. If not tomorrow then sometime next week.

Review if you wish,
