Ragnor POV

I don't understand how anyone could hate it here. This atmosphere makes you feel immortal, forever young, never growing old as long as you swing your hips in time with the music it was a never ending song. While holding Santiago in my left and a bottle of Smirnoff in my right - I totally didn't sneak that in here… - it felt as if I was invincible no one could ruin my mood tonight, I'm king of the world.

I planted an over-exaggerated kiss on his cheek as I scampered into the crowd. I risked a glance at the boy behind me, his dark eyes finally sparkled with laughter as an easy going smile spread lightly on his lips as he watches my futile attempt of crowd surfing, I loved that I could cut past the snide arrogant Raph by just flashing a cheeky smile his way, it warmed me to the core - maybe that's the alcohol - to see him instantly relax in my presence. This was until I landed in a heap next to his feet as he glanced down at me with his angelic face, I should have known better because when Raph knelt next to me he shouted full force in my ear.

"Rags you're too heavy for that, I think you need to lose weight," Raph said coyly as he prodded my stomach in a childlike manner.

"Excuse me! This is puppy fat. Thank. You. Very. Much," I said puffing my chest up as I grumbled to my feet brushing of the dust and dirt off of my precious baby jacket.

"Magnus why does it look like someone murdered Chairman Meow?" Raphael asked while he cocked an eyebrow turning his head slightly with concern lacing the sarcasm. It would have been barely recognisable but if you're close to Raph you could tell his emotions through his eyes, they normally were stone cold and unfeeling but his eyes held warmth and a worried question.

That's when I turned to meet Bane, he was a mess his hair was tousled, his lip-gloss smeared slightly at the edges, his shirt rumpled un-tucked from his trousers and not to mention his scarf that was draped limply around his neck completely different to how he had styled it before we left the apartment.

"Who made a break for it just after your hot and steamy make out session?" I waggled a suggesting eyebrow at him flicking my dyed green mop out of eyes. "Did they leave you first before you could even had the chance to sneak away from their bedrooms at dusk?"

I regretted my words as soon as I saw Magnus's reaction. His eyes started to shine with unshed tears as he clenched his jaw and balled his fists at his sides as fury flashed across his face before he turned on his heel and stormed across the room, malice practically dripped from him, even strangers seemed to cower from him as he shoved his way out of the club.

Shit Shit Shit that must have happened but why would Mags be so upset?

"Couldn't you tell Mags was upset you fuck-tard," Raph said as he wrapped his thin fingers around my bicep while pulling me through the crowd aiming for the door that Magnus went through.

"I would have picked up for it if I hadn't had this much to drink!" I argued, "Also people have ran from Magnus before why should he be so cut up from it?"

"Shut up and text Cat time to call it day, I will go tell Jon I am leaving, drop me home after you have dropped Cat and Mags off," Raph said as he walked towards the pale-blonde talking animatedly with Will. Flipping my phone open and scrolling through the contacts.

Hey meet us outside in 5 we going home early. Code 12 - Emerald Prince.

I didn't realise how much this had shook me up as I could barely keep my phone still or hit the right buttons on my keyboard. I'm not sure if this is to do with how much I'm worried or had to drink...After sending the text I felt Raph come back and give my shoulder a reassuring squeeze.

I fucked up

9:51pm

Izzy POV

I'm glad I managed to convince Alec to come out for the evening he seemed to have got on with everyone nicely. I liked it here as well, from what I could gather, it wouldn't be joining Clairvoyant High tomorrow if we had already mingled with a group. What was special about this friendship group was that they were people whose differences made them stronger and more unique. I'm definitely not going to be bored here.

I was here sat in one if the booths after another round of the Macarena with Clary and Cecily trying cool off with some glasses of water. Us girls being the sensible ones had stopped with the alcoholic beverages as soon as the boys started to get out of hand. Jace, Gabriel and Jordan were drunkenly trying to get a conga line going, as Will was throttling Jon's duck puppet shouting "Blood Thirsty Beast" and Gideon tiredly rubbed his eyes while Simon was recorded all of this on his smartphone murmuring something about blackmail under his breath…

Jessamine was just in the middle of talking about the juicy gossip on who to avoid at school and who was 'on it' with who. When Cat cursed loudly at her phone, causing us all to jump at the table, she suddenly stood up and started to shimmy out of the booth.

"I just got a text from Ragnor, I have an emergency. It was lovely meeting you Izzy," She bowed her head in acknowledgment towards me and then with a small wave she swiftly hurried off towards the exit.

Talking about emergencies I haven't seen Alec in a while. Last time I had seen him was drinking shots and dancing with the lads. But that thought was shorted lived as Jem walked up towards our table, sharing small smile at Tessa before nervously twisting his watch on his right hand.

"Izzy I think you should call a taxi, Alec has been in the toilet for a while now, I think he is feeling rather ill." Jem stated calmly, "I'll go back in to make sure he is ok just text me when the taxi is here and I will bring him out front,"

"Okay sure," as I handed Jem a piece of paper with my number on as I quickly dialled a taxi to pick us outside the front of the club. As I saw Jem walk back into the male toilets.

I probably need to go tell Gideon we are going home or he will probably start to freak.

"Gideon, me and Alec are going to go home now, I guess I will see you tomoz, thanks for lettings us meet your friends." I said while wrapping my arms around him in a tight embrace, before I went off in search for my younger cousin who I found paralytic giggling mass on the floor.

"Cya Gab, hope you have a hella hangover tomorrow," I say as I ruffle his hair.

"Screw you…" Gabriel faintly replies.

10:03

Cat POV

The cool evening air pressed against my skin as soon as I hurried outside to the carpark where Ragnor's muscle car had been left. Why did we have to park at one of the top floors, Oh yeah Mags likes to watch the city lights from up here. I awkwardly punched in the top floor on the elevator as I waited tapping my foot nervously. It's a code 12 which means Ragnor's not sure what he said but Maggie is upset. That hasn't really narrowed down the possibilities of why Magnus is upset. It's Magnus Bloody Bane and Ragnor Fucking Fell anything was possible…

My head was exploding from the multiple theories as the doors finally pinged open. And that's when I see a worried Ragnor leaning on the car bonnet rolling a Smirnoff bottle in his hands while Raphael is sitting in the back of his car with Magnus trying to get him to speak to him about whatever has occurred tonight.

"I'm so sorry Cat, I'm not sure what I have done but I take it back I take it back," Ragnor gushes at me with his arms shaking, prying the bottle from his hands and placing it in nearby bin.

"You haven't done anything accept do what you normally do Rags, this isn't your fault." I give him a quick hug then walking up to car window and tapping my knuckles against it.

"Hey Maggie, let's take you home okay?" I give him a small smile as I drop into the front seat of the car.

"Hey Cat it's my car I normally drive…" Ragnor whined slightly.

"Rags if you haven't noticed darling, that driving after you have had a bottle of Vodka is a perfect way of getting us all killed, so quit your moaning and pile in the back with me and Magnus," Raphael's steely gaze stopped all Ragnor's protests as he clambered in squeezing Magnus in between Raph and himself.

The car journey's atmosphere was almost suffocating in the amount tension which rolled off of the three in the back, Raphael stony gaze was set on the oncoming traffic outside of the window probably plotting someone's demise, Magnus was sat gazing forward void of any emotion and poor Rags had started to bite his nails while staring absent-mindedly at the leather seat in front of him. As I watched this all from the mirror, it couldn't have been more different to how we started the night.

We finally pulled up to our apartment in Brooklyn around 1:45am, breaking Ragnor out of his daze as he pulled lightly on Magnus's arm guiding him upstairs to front door. Fighting back a yawn as I twisted in my seat to talk to the younger boy who was still in the car with me.

"I can still take you back home if you want," I suggested as I saw the time on the digital clock on the dashboard, "Or you can just go and crash in Ragnor's room and we can just drop you off at school in a few hours? The choice is yours."

"I think I'm just going to crash at yours, I've got some spare clothes in Fells room," He replied.

My limbs were starting to feel like lead as me and Raphael trudged up the stairs only to be met with our apartment door gaping wide open. The least the Peapod could do was close the door. I huffed just as Ragnor's head popped out of Magnus's sparkly door.

"Sorry Mags passed out on the third floor I had to drag his ass up here so I couldn't close the door behind me, I have just tucked him up in bed," Ragnor whispered across the at me and Raphael while wiping his sweaty hands on his jeans then turning to close the door quitely.

"It's ok it's been a long evening, I'll see you to in the morning." I said as I walked towards my room, but not before glancing over at the couple behind me. I knew they hadn't fell out tonight but I think Raphael must have been angry with Rags.

Luckily they shared a small hug before Ragnor lead Raph into the bedroom. I followed that idea and turned the handle into my room not even turning my light on or getting dressed before landing face first on my bed.

I was out like a light.

10:12pm

Izzy POV

It was strange me being the responsible one, the one to call the taxi to make sure they could get home. I think it was even more ironic when Jem came out the club with a very ill and unhappy Alec being supported by him, and to think that it was a good job that their parents weren't in. It was one thing for me to come home hammered but it was another for Alec to come home like a train wreck.

"Thanks again Jem," I said with a warm smile as I waved goodbye while struggling to get Alec into the cab, the sooner we are home the better. I started to ponder even though Alec can't hold his alcohol very well (it all went to his head), he normally just passes out not chuck it back up, and so what made him sick?

I kept stealing a sideways glance at my brother's still sleeping form, he have his head rolled back, with his mouth hung wide open with his knees pulled up against his chest in the taxi's back seat, his eye's seemed slightly puffy and red. I shrugged that thought off when I saw red, it seemed like red-lipstick smears at the corner of his mouth. Oh my god is that a hickey. As clear as day on my brother's neck was a love bite, starting to form a big marron bruise the size of a 50p coin.

I can't wait to interrogate him about this girl he met.

"Izzy stop staring at me like that, have I got something on my face?" Alec groggily asked.

"No-no there's nothing on your face. I was just wondering how you found this evening." I quickly covered up my laugh with a cough.

"It was… alright," He replied, I could tell it was anything but alright but he would tell me later because we never keep anything from each other. And because he is a terrible liar.

The cab finally pulled up in front of our mansion where me and Alec hauled our asses up the drive and fumbled with the house keys to get into the house. Alec seemed to be sporting a splitting headache as he held his head a muttered about the room spinning.

"You shouldn't have drank so much silly billy," I playfully teased as we crawled up the stairs, "And it's the first day of school today Alec! Think what mum and dad would say if they saw you now," I finished with a wink.

"Not like I had a choice…" Alec feebly answered his hand still braced against his skull.

"You're driving me to school and remember it's your turn to cook breakfast!" I childishly stuck my tongue out at him, "So get they hang over under control!"

10:35pm

Alec POV

And with that she disappeared into her room leaving me alone with my thoughts all too soon, I sighed as I stumbled into my room shimming out of my insanely tight jeans stripping off my shirt and lying flat out on my bed.

I bet Jem thinks I'm pathetic seeing me crying in the bathroom… Luckily he seemed to tell Izzy I was ill, not that I was sobbing in his arms for a good 15 minutes. I couldn't help it, it had shook me up. It was better before I knew what it felt like, to be kissed by someone and it feel so right… before I couldn't miss it because I hadn't tasted his straw-berry lips but now I missed the bitter-sweet taste…

I kissed a boy tonight. I kissed Magnus. I could see feel his ghostly hands on my back or feel a memory of his lips placed on mine. It was the only thing that has been occupying my mind since that event tonight. I balled my duvet in my hands as my thoughts flew around my head. I slipped up I had been so careful back in London about my secret not slipping up once, accept now my first night out in New York and I had ended up playing tonsil tennis with a very sparkly male teen.

I know Izzy would be fine with me being gay and by the looks of Gideon and his friends they seem okay with that idea. I'm just confused about what I'm so scared of, maybe it was the look of disappointment in my mother eyes that she hide completely or the look of barely masked disgusted expression my dad would pull. and then the dreaded question What turned you gay Alexander I thought we taught you better than this? I don't think I can handle that or the people that disagree with me being gay what happens if they treat me as if I have some sort of disease. People say that it only matters about the people close to you and their opinions not the onlookers but still they will always judge you and I can't stand to the thought of being judged or my family being judged through me because of what I am.

But was it so wrong to do something that made me happy in my own skin.

I can't find it in me to regret that kiss with Magnus

AN-

Hope this Chapter was okay. Managed to update every day so far, I really enjoy where this story is going tbh. Story this chapter is slightly smaller than the others.

What did you guys think of the POV swaps? or should I just stick with Magnus and Alec?

Merry Xmas :D
