A/N: This chapter kinda sucks, but trust me…it'll get better!
Chapter Four
Alec walked out of the room, writing a tiny lock rune on the door handle with his stele before heading to the kitchen. Once he got there, he saw Isabelle frying what looked to be broccoli, and Clary sitting at the counter, glaring at him.
He tried to look tense and scared of Clary, but he was feeling wonderful. He had Jace at his mercy, what he has wanted for years, and he finally had sex with him. To be completely honest, when Jace caught him, he wasn't thinking of Alec, but he was thinking of his handsome parabatai…or 'used to be' parabatai.
Clary saw him smirk a little and she slammed her hands on the table, standing up abruptly. "What are you laughing at!?" she screamed. Isabelle didn't turn around, but she just hung her head. Alec looked at Clary wearing worried puppy dog eyes.
"I didn't laugh" a lie, he thought. "I actually feel incredibly guilty" another damned lie. He blinked, looked down at his hands. "I regret ever even touching Jace. I feel so bad. Please, please forgive me Clary?" Alec was laughing inside. If Clary fell for this, she was thicker than she looked. And of course she would, she's a goodie two shoes girl who isn't exactly good at being mean for long periods of time.
"Bullshit." Clary whispered. Alec's innocent look faded. "What?" he asked, his voice cracking. "You heard me! Bull…shit!" Clary rushed towards the opening to the kitchen, Isabelle turning off the burner and going after her. Alec blocked both their paths.
"Where's Jace?" Clary demanded. Alec shrugged. "Asleep…" he was too innocent. He loved Jace, nobody w0uld get in the way. Clary's fists tightened. "So either you're spying on him…" Alec's eyes snapped towards hers. "…or you're lying."
Alec's eye twitched. He straightened up his posture. "Which is it. If you love him oh so dearly, maybe true love can guide you to the correct answer." Clary smirked. "He's in your room, isn't he?" her smartass smirk dropped.
She ran quickly past Alec and Isabelle followed and Alec was right on their tail. When Alec's door came into view, she could see the small lock rune burning on the silver door knob. She yanked out the stele from her pocket and within a split second she broke the lock.
Isabelle was now at her side and Alec was a mere step away, but Clary shoved the door open. She gasped, taking a step back, then ran forward. Isabelle threw her arms against the door frame and her legs spread apart, blocking Alec completely. He clenched his teeth.
Clary sat down on the edge of the bed, slowly pushing a strand of golden hair from Jace's face. Jace tensed up, squeezing his eyes shut. "Don't touch me Alec!" he screamed. Isabelle's eyes widened as she stared at her brother, sucking in a deep breath.
Clary placed her small, smooth hand on his cheek, brushing a tear away. "It's me. Clary. I'm here Jace." Jace's eyes opened. They were red as if he had been crying for hours even though he ran out of the infirmary only half an hour ago.
Jace slowly sat up but when he moved he winced. She just noticed he was only covered with the blanket and that he was completely nude. She slowly got up off the bed and took a deep breath before storming over to the door, pushing past Isabelle and right in front of Alec.
"You sick bastard!" she screamed, slapping Alec, who seemed to not care. "You raped him!? What is wrong with you!?" Alec crossed his arms, trying to look tough. "Jace is your parabatai, someone who will always be there for you! And you completely broke him!" Alec tensed up.
Jace could hear the whole conversation, and it made him sick. He pushed himself to the edge of the bed, but didn't stand. Isabelle seemed to know what to do though. She grabbed his jeans and set them down next to him, mouthing 'I'm sorry' to him before going back to the doorway and giving him some privacy.
Jace slowly slid on the jeans, gritting his teeth at the painful movements. No healing rune could get rid of this pain. He let his arm rest against the wall for support as he half dragged himself over to the doorway and stood behind Isabelle.
"What about Magnus!? He cares about you, more than anyone he ever could care about! He loved you! And you betrayed him just to destroy a second relationship! Are you crazy!?" Clary screamed, shoving his arm. Alec glanced up, but felt that same feeling of regret in his chest as he saw Jace, weak and in pain, looking at him from behind Isabelle's protection.
Alec walked past Clary and shoved past Isabelle to Jace. "He's not scared of me, are you, Jace?" Alec asked, but Jace stumbled backward, tripping and falling on his back. He yelped in pain and stared up at Alec with fearful eyes.
Isabelle rushed in between Alec and Jace as Clary knelt down next to the blond, who was having some difficulty sitting up. Alec felt tears in his eyes, his throat squeezing together so he couldn't speak right. "We're parabatai. He could never hate-"
"We aren't parabatai." Jace interrupted. Jace looked up at him with an angry look. "And I couldn't hate you more than I do now." Alec didn't want to believe it. He knew he was having sex with Jace, but he wasn't raping him. They were in love, right? Alec froze. "But we love each other! We're in love!"
Jace snorted. "It's one sided. Last I checked, I was as straight as a circle, Alec." Jace sat up, gripping the dresser next to him for some support, and Clary's arm for the rest. He could barely stand, his legs were jell-o. He just allowed Clary to hold onto his arm to hold him up. "I knew you were gay for a while, but I never thought of you doing this. It's sick, and besides…" Alec hung his head for another insult. "…someone else loves you more than I could ever."
Alec looked up, then saw Isabelle, Clary and Jace staring behind him. Alec spun around to see what they were all looking at. His breath caught in his throat. "Magnus?"
