A/N: Sorry… I expected this chapter to be up yesterday but I got caught up in the 2 hour season finale of Desperate Housewives :) Anyways! This is just a filler chapter but I hope you guys like it all the same….

Anyways…

See you at the bottom :D

Disclaimer: I do not, nor will I ever, own the mortal instruments…. Sadly :(

"C'mon Alec! You haven't come out of there in almost three days now!" Isabelle yelled through the wood of Alec's bedroom door.

"No!" Alec's muffled reply came back.

Isabelle sighed and leaned her head against the cold wood. It had bee almost three days now since Alec had actually left his room. Maryse and Robert had been leaving food by his door and that was probably the only time his door even opened. Whatever was troubling Alec was killing him inside. Isabelle couldn't stand seeing her brother like this… She was determined to find out what his problem was.

Instead of knocking this time, Isabelle pulled a bobby pin out from her messy bun and knelt down beside the door's lock. Ever since Jace locked Alec in the bathroom once, when they were little, Isabelle had learned to pick almost every lock in the Institute with just a bobby pin.

After a few wiggles with the small metal clip, the doors lock sprang free and Isabelle yanked the door open. Alec sat straight up from his place no the bed and glared Isabelle down.

"I told you, I'm not coming out." Alec growled.

"Yeah, well, if you weren't coming out then I was coming in." Isabelle barked and closed the door behind her.

She carefully crossed the room and sat on a corner of Alec's bed. As she sat down she noticed how tired he looked, and the big puffy bags under his eyes from countless hours of crying.

"Please talk to me Alec; No body can stand to see you like this…" Isabelle pleaded and placed her hand on Alec's outstretched thigh.

Alec looked at her with sorrow in his eyes and tears threatening to spill over. "Isabelle…. I- I'm sorry." Alec chocked back a sob.

Isabelle patted his leg, in an encouragement for him to keep talking. Alec inhaled a deep breath and raised his head to look Isabelle in the eyes. Blue and Onyx.

"Magnus broke up with me the other day."

Isabelle gasped but Alec raised his hand to tell her to let him finish.

"He told me…" Alec inhaled deeply. "He told me that he didn't love me anymore, but more importantly, that he never did."

Isabelle looked on at her brother as a stray tear fell from his cheek and he bowed his head in an attempt to hide it. Isabelle gracefully swiped her thumb across his cheek; getting rid of the single stream of water. Alec looked back up at his sister and attempted to hold back the rest of his tears.

"Alec… you know that's not true…" Isabelle tried to reason, "That doesn't sound like him at all. You know he loves you with everything he has…"

"I thought so too… and I wouldn't believe it either if I hadn't seen the words leave his lips." Alec sighed again, "Isabelle he stood there and told me straight to my face… You should have seen the look in his eyes. He was blank, emotionless. There was nothing left, its over between us."

This time Alec didn't hold his tears back; he let them wash over him in waves.

"Alec… I…"

Alec raised his hand again to interrupt.

"Izzy just go." Alec sighed.

"But…"

"Please…" Alec pleaded.

Isabelle looked up at Alec with pleading eyes but her brother's expression didn't change. Finally she figured it would be best if she let her brother be.

"Fine, but just to let you know, I'll be here for you whenever you need it."

Alec slowly nodded his head and accepted Isabelle's rib crushing hug. Isabelle let go and gave her brother one last reassuring smile before heading out the door.

"Sooooo…. Did you get the princess to talk?" Jace asked as Isabelle shut the door.

Jace was leaning up against the opposite wall, no doubt eavesdropping on their conversation.

"Magnus broke up with him, and by what he said, broke his heart too." Isabelle sighed.

"Are you fucking kidding me? After everything Alec gave up for him, Magnus just dumped him?" Jace screamed at the top of his lungs.

"Shhh… Calm down Jace, I'm sure everything will be okay." Isabelle tried to soothe.

"Calm down? Everything will be okay? Oh no; there is no way I'm going to calm down, not without beating the shit out of that gay bastard first!" Jace was beyond outraged.

Jace quickly strode down to his room with Isabelle hot on his heels.

"And just what do you think your doing?" Isabelle questioned from Jace's doorway.

"Like I said; I'm going to beat the shit out of that sparkly warlock." Jace hissed while digging through his clothes to find his seraph blades.

"C'mon Jace… can't we just drop it?" Isabelle asked.

"Absolutely not, not until I get to the bottom of this." Jace grunted and made his way to the door.

Isabelle quickly stepped in front of Jace and blocked his way from leaving.

"Izzy, do you honestly think you're going to stop me?" Jace questioned.

"No; but I can't let you leave like that."

"Like what?"

"You're going to need more seraph blades."

Jace looked down at his belt to inspect all his weapons. He was pretty sure he had enough.

"Why would I need more Izzy?" Jace asked.

Isabelle smirked and put her hands on her hips.

"Because; I'm going with you."
