The following day was Saturday so after he took a cold and quick shower, Alec had planned on spending the day in the library till six o'clock when the building's door were closing and maybe later he would meet with Isabelle and Jace and they could go somewhere to eat dinner or watch a movie. He still didn't know till when was Jace planning to stay in NYC so he decided to ask him that today. From what he heard, Jace's coach gave them a few weeks off after they won the game in London but they were going back to training as soon as the football season started. And Alec had no idea when was that. So he would spend as much time as possible with his brother.

He made sure he changed from his pajamas in some decent clothes so he wouldn't repeat the incident from last morning. Images from the previous day invaded his mind. Magnus. Magnus' scent. His movements and his eyes. Alec's chest tightened.

Yes. Let's go to the library.Studying and reading will keep his mind busy.

That powerful scent still followed him. Now he could tell what was strange with his old room. It smelled like Magnus. Alec's thoughts smelled like Magnus.

Library, Alec. Go to the library.

He reached the building's door in less than ten minutes. He stepped in and it felt like the right place to be in. Yes, let's spend the day here.Alec walked to the librarian's office and the man smiled when he recognized him.

"Hello, Mr. Lightwood. How are you feeling today?"

Distracted. "Fine, Mr Garroway. I am fine and prepared to study." It sounded more like Alec was trying to convince himself. "You?"

"You know, the usual. I am trying to get hold on some new books that the school needs this year. Oh, and by the way, we found the book you were asking for a few weeks ago? You still want it, right?"

"Oh, yes. Thank you very much. I will complete the chart and...can you send someone with the book to my usual place?"

"My pleasure. I shall send my daughter. She helps me around on Saturday mornings. "

"That's great." Alec smiled politely and went to his seat. He loved to study by the window. From time to time he would take a break and watch the people from the campus. All that movement and energy specific for a weekend night – all that going on just under his feet. He felt safe inside this ancient building made of wood and stone, between the old and hard covers of the books, between the soothing sound of turned pages. Time stopped for him when he was in the library while the world outside kept on spinning.

His thoughts were interrupted by a girl who slowly placed a book on his desk.

"Quo Vadis, right?"

He lifted his head from the book he was currently reading and thanked the girl in front of him. She had fiery red hair and she was very tiny. He waited for her departure, but she was standing there, watching him with a curious look.

"Sorry to interrupt you, but do I know you? I feel like I know you."

"Um...not from what I know. I's sorry but I don't recognize you at all." He was puzzled and not pleased by the disturbance she was causing.

"Uh, okay. Sorry," she whispered as she walked away. She seemed like she took the hint.

Hours passed and five o'clock rolled around while Alec was still deepened in his readings. That's when he felt his phone buzzing in his pocket. He pulled it out slowly, his eyes still on the book he was holding in his hands.

There was a message from Isabelle.

Come to my room, now. 911.

Immediately after he had read it, he closed the book, saved whatever file he was working on on his laptop, cleared the desk and hurried towards the exit. He stopped by Luke Garroway's desk, but the man was busy talking to his daughter.

"I promised to Simon I would go. And I've been here for more than five hours. Please, Luke. Just this time."

Alec cleared his throat so someone would hear him. Luke turned toward him, but he was still talking to his daughter. "Okay, go. But twelve o'clock, Clary. At twelve o'clock you are home."

"Thanks. I promise." The girl placed a quick kiss on her father's cheek and hurried down the hall.

"Sorry for that." Luke was talking to Alec now.

"Are you done already? You are usually the last one to leave."

"Yeah, sorry. I'm in a big hurry right now." Alec's look was very concerned so Luke maneuvered some papers very quickly and let him go. "Good bye,"mumbled Alec under his breath.

He stepped outside and ran. Ran as fast as he could, and he could run very fats. He bumped into some students and didn't remember if he apologized or not, but he didn't care. Isabelle texted him 911 and that was all he could think about. He entered her dorm and hurried towards her room.

"What's the hurry, Lightwood?" he heard someone saying but didn't stop to see who was talking to him. He reached his sister's door and opened it with a powerful shove.

"Izzy, are you okay?" She wasn't there. He walked around her room shouting. "For God's sake, WHERE ARE YOU?" He approached her bathroom door and didn't even think of knocking. He opened it and stood stock sill.

"WHAT THE HELL?"

Isabelle was standing in front of her sink mirror, applying some blue eyeliner. She was dressed for a party.

"Alec! You are here. Oh, you were fast!"

He couldn't respond right away because he had to catch his breath. But as soon as he did, he shouted again.

"OF COURSE I DID. YOU TEXTED 911." He stopped again, trying to calm his breathing.

"Don't make such a fuss about it. I'm sorry I scared you like that but we need to hurry. We are going to party."

Alec's eyes popped open and immediately after that he started to laugh like a maniac. Isabelle was the one confused right now.

"You texted me...911...so we could go... to a party?" Alec tried to speak between his laughters. "I AM GOING TO KILL YOU!" He was shouting now. "I was at the library and I still had one more hour to study when I received your text. I ran as fast as I could because I thought you were in danger. BECAUSE YOU TEXTED 911. But apparently no, we are going to a party. No. Let me rectify that. You are going to a party. I am going in my room to read. Or I'm going to the gym. But no party! BYE!" Isabelle could tell Alec was very upset, but he kept his calm. he always did. Well, almost always.

Izzy came out of the bathroom in a matter of seconds, stopping her brother from exiting her room.

"Alec, please don't go. I'm sorry I scared you but I knew you were at the library and that you wouldn't have stopped reading if I had told you about the party. I had to make you come here."

Alec was even more annoyed now. "And now, I'm leaving."

"Please don't. Jace is coming too. It will be so much fun. Just like the old times." Her eyes were pleading. "Please."

"Just like the old times, huh? That means I'll have to carry you two home because you'll be too drunk to walk?" Alec was almost joking and he looked as though he was reconsidering the idea of going to the party. Isabelle knew that was her chance to convince him.

"Let's not forget about the times we had to carry you, while you were throwing up on some alley."

"Stop talking, Isabelle."

"Are you coming? Just for tonight. I promise next time we'll go out we'll do whatever you'll want?"

"We'll stay in and watch a good movie?"

"Done," agreed Isabelle, smiling at the idea.

"Okay, then I guess we're going." Immediately after Alec said that, Isabelle began jumping up and down and then sent a quick message.

"So the party is in Brooklyn."

"I hate Brooklyn," said Alec.

"Okay, let's establish something. I know you don't actually love the idea, but you don't get to ruin the mood. At least pretend like you are having a good time."

"Okay, I'll pretend."

Isabelle's face changed and she look like she was going to kill him.

Alec laughed when he saw her frowning look. "I am kidding, Izzy. I'll try and have a good time, really." And he really meant it. It wasn't like he could return to his room. And if he had to go to this party, he was going to try and make the most out of it. It was Saturday night after all.

Isabelle looked pleased now. "Okay, so the party is at nine o'clock. I still have to get ready and Jace still has to get back from the gym. Then we have to go to your room and after that we have to drive till there."

Alec was puzzled. Not only that he didn't understand what could Isabelle possibly need more than make-up and her outfit, but he didn't understand why they needed to go to his room? So he asked his sister.

"Clearly you don't understand girls, at all, even if I've been around for nineteen years. I am far from being ready. I still haven't picked up a pair of shoes nor accessories. And my hair is not done yet. And we have to go to your room because, Alec, you are not going anywherewith those clothes, let alone to a party." She seemed horrified as she spoke. Like only seeing her brother's sweater was hurting her eyes. She kept on nodding her head in a disapproving way.

Alec glanced to his sweater and pulled its edges.

"What's wrong with this?"

"Dear God, everything! It has actual holes, Alec. Holes! Now shut up! I have to focus." She went to her closet and opened one more drawer Alec hadn't seen till now. It was full of shoes. "What pair should I wear?" she asked herself.

Alec tossed himself on the bed, ignoring his sister's rhetorical questions. He wanted to go back to his room and read a good book, with a cup of coffee next to him. He didn't want to wander around New York. Especially not Brooklyn!

A/N: Putting this at the end because I hate spoilers and I think you do too.

First of all, thank you, THANK YOU! I am sending a big hug and a big heart *right here* to the ones who left reviews on my previous chapter.

I know you were hoping it was going to be Magnus but I had something else planned for them :))

Ella Blackrose- thank you for the long review and for everything you said, really! I tried to take your advice so Jace's story will come later on because there is a lot to take in right now, it's true. And yes, you were right, Jace was at the door.

Night Changer-I know, but we shall wait and see. I hope you enjoyed this chapter.

Guest and Guest 2- I hope you liked this chapter too and I hope the wait was worth it.

The next chapter will be up after you'll review(and after I write it :)) ) sooo...go and tell me what you think about this one. I am really curious!

Also, Shadowhunters premieres only in fifteen days? Like what? But where I live I don't have Netflix nor AbcFamily so yeah...lucky me. :(

Go listen to the songs while reading! They set the mood. Or at least I think so.
