I sighed as Izzy stormed out, the door slamming shut behind her. I turned back to Dad, running a hand through my hair as I started pacing waiting for him to speak, although I soon figured out that that wasn't going to happen.
" Izzy's right " I finally said, glancing over at him. He had calmed down now and was sat behind his desk watching with they eye of an eagle as I walked back and forth.
" Alexander, please sit down. Then we can talk without either one of us lashing out " he stated and I knew he meant it more as an order rather than a offer. I walked over, pulling the velvet chair out opposite him and sitting down, feeling awkward sat infront of him.
" I don't want you around but... I think that we should try. For Izzys sake" I admitted " I don't have to like you and you don't have to like me but at least we should try and make it seem as if we don't want to rid each other of the house" I carried on and for once dad had his full attention on me. He wasn't sorting stuff out or looking out the window he was just sat watching me. In some ways this was quite disconcerting, it fell like he was trying to read my thoughts, see if I meant what I said, delve into my deepest secrets. Finally he sat up straight and took in a sharp breath.
" for once we might actually be agreeing on something " he admitted and gave a small smile. I managed a weak one back.

There's was a knock at the door and I stood up, quickly rubbing at my eyes and opening the door. Jace was stood their a soft smile on his face, his golden hair draped slightly in front of his eyes.
" where have you been ?" I asked, opening the door wider and walking back to my bed, sitting down. He followed but stayed standing opposite me.
" I was doing some extra training with Clary. She wanted some help" he explained as I sighed.
" I didn't even need to ask I knew that would be where you were" I smirked half-heartedly. He squinted his eyes slightly, the way he did when he was thinking about something, as if he was searching through my thoughts putting each piece together.
" where's Alec ?" He asked, standing straight again and Unsquinting his eyes.
" he's with Dad downstairs. They're talking about the family... At least I hope they're talking and not shouting or slaughtering each other " I admitted and I noticed Jace bite his lip, nodding.
" and that's why you've been crying ?" He asked and I frowned. I hated crying, crying enough so people noticed especially. It made me seem weak. Dad never cried and I rarely saw Alec cry or my mum for that matter but they had all seen the amount I cried when Max died. I didn't stop, for days and days I sobbed. I was so much weaker then them all, my tough warrior like exterior was just a show even to myself, I used to think I was strong but now... I wasn't so sure.
" I haven't been crying " I said slightly to sharply, but Jace didnt notice or if he did, he didn't show that he had.
" Iz, you've been crying I'm not stupid " he muttered and I ran a hand through my hair sighing.
"But I shouldn't be crying. It's stupid of me" I retorted, sitting up straighter to make it seem less of a deal.
" it's not stupid to cry you know " he explained and I quickly shook my head.
" I don't want to cry. I don't want to keep crying at everything that goes wrong. I can't I'm a shadowhunter. I have to be strong and brave and ruthless " I stated, standing up and brushing myself off walking out and leaving Jace by himself.

After a long conversation I finally managed to get out of his office only to walk straight Into Izzy. She didnt look as if she had been crying but then to be fair if she had been when she stormed off then the signs of it would have all gone because of the 2 hour conversation that followed her storm out.
She smiled at me and cocked her head to the side.
" are you ok ?" She asked, her brow furrowed as she tried to figure out my feelings - which would be near Impossible as even I didn't know what I was feeling.
" Yeah, I'm fine. Where are you going ?" I asked, noticing she had her black leather jacket on and a ridiculous pair of heels. As if she needed to be any taller.
" I'm ... Uh ... Meeting up with Jordan " she admitted, mumbling the words as she looked down at her feet.
" Jordan ? Why not Simon ? And doesn't Jordan have a girlfriend? Izzy they're happy you can't try and split them up so you can get with him " I stated and the face she gave me was so evil it may have killed me on the spot- if I wasn't used to it.
" Yes Jordan and not Simon because we haven't made up in that kinda way. No Jordan doesn't have a girlfriend anymore but that's none of you business " she spat before getting really angry, her chocolate brown eyes glaring into me. " and am I not allowed to be genuinely interested in a guy ? Do I always just have to want to have sex with them ?" She demanded and I held my hands up shaking my head.
" No, no that's not true... It's just ... That's what usually happens " I admitted and she rolled her eyes, scoffing at me " anyway, why aren't Maia and Jordan together ?" I asked, slightly perplexed by the situation. Izzy sighed again and gave me a look.
" Maia left him a week or so back. Apparently it just wasnt the same as what they used to have or something, anyway he's completely broken over it. So no, I wasn't going round to get it on with him, I was just looking out for him " she stated and I nodded stepping back as she walked toward the door.
" does this mean I can go back to Magnus's now ?" I asked hopefully and she smirked, nodding her head.
" Just make sure you tell Jace you're going or take him with you " she called back before shutting the huge majestic doors of The Institute.

I had had quite enough of turning mine and Alec's room different colours when I heard the door open and two voices echoed up the stairs toward me.
" he's not going to attack me with glitter right ? " I heard a familiar voice say followed by another one.
" no, if he's going to attack anyone it's going to be me. Oh ... And don't sit on the sofa that's where we did it last " Alec's voice found me.
I grinned and walked over, smiling as I saw them. I rushed over to Alec throwing my arms around him and laughing as I saw Jaces look of distress.
" you're not gonna start making out right here ?" He asked and I shook my head, letting go of Alec.
" seriously Jace, do you think I would be that unsociable toward you?" I asked and Jace shrugged.
" you're more sociable with your cat then you are with me"
" his name is Chairman meow and that is what I wish for him to be called therefore please call him this " I stated and Jace rolled his eyes walking away from me. I heard Alec laugh and looked at him smiling.
" you two are the strangest " he smirked and I pecked his lips.
" believe me, I already know"

The wind was bitter for once and it caused my hair to whisk around in front of my face, which was partically annoying. Everytime there was a large gust, my hair would flick at me and sting my cold cheeks. I knocked on the little door of the apartment and bounced around on my toes waiting. The door opened and Simon was stood there, he smiled slightly and I smiled back.
" Hey Iz, what are you doing here ?" He asked and I rolled my eyes, pushing past him to get out of the cold.
" Oh Hi Simon, nice to see you too " I said sarcastically and he smirked.
" Sorry " he replied " It is nice to see you Just... unexpected " he explained, but I had already stopped listening and was in the living room by the time he had noticed my lack of interest. Jordan walked in from the kitchen and gave a weak smile. His blonde hair was a mess and he didn't look as happy and full of life like he did before. His break up with Maia had really hit him hard.
" Hey Izzy " he greeted and I nodded in return, noticing Simon grab a bowl of crisps.
" hey Jordan, how are you holding up ?" I asked and he shrugged sitting next to me.
" I dunno" he admitted and I gave a comforting smile. God, I was getting good at this comforting thing.
" you know you look a mess " I smirked and he smiled slightly brighter.
" I do know that " he admitted nodding, before laughing as I tried to sort his hair out and make him look a slight bit better.
" there... Well, it'll do " I stated and he smiled then shook his head, making his hair fall out of place again.
" I give up, just give up " I declared and I looked around as I heard Simon laugh walking towards us.
" Someone actually made you surrender. This is great. I thought I would never see the day " he mused and I grabbed a cushion, throwing it at him. The feathery material connected with his face then dropped to the floor as he rolled his eyes putting the crisps down. " that would of sucked if that had made any damage. Daylighter killed by a flying cushion " he joked and I let out a small smirk.
" But alas my dreams don't come true so why should that one ?" I teased and he pulled a face, before sitting the opposite side of me.
" As if you want me dead, you love me to much " he replied and I scowled.
" in the past Lewis in the past " I muttered and he looked away frowning.
" I hate it when you call me by my last name " he admitted and I glanced at him, furrowing my brow.
" why ?"
" because, you didn't call me that when we were going out... It just shows that we've grown further apart " he admitted and I quickly looked away and at the T.v which was now switched on thanks to Jordan. He was cleverly pretending that he couldn't hear any of mine and Simon's conversation and his gaze was dead set on a film that was playing.
" Well maybe we wouldn't have if you hadn't of cheated on me or in fact if you hadn't cheated on Maia. Surely there was one of us that you preferred" I snapped and noticed Jordan glance at us.
" I still don't forgive you for that " he said to Simon, who was also looking away now. After a few seconds, he stood up.
" I'm going to meet Clary " he grumbled and I watched as He walked away, slamming the door behind him.
