CHAPTER 5

*Isabelle's POV*

I left my brother's room silently not exactly sure to say to someone that had just "come out" to me. Especially if that person was my older brother. Should I encourage him? Or try to change his mind about the opposite gender? I pondered until my head hurt and came to the conclusion that he was my brother, and that I would support him with whatever he chose to do with his life. He could do what he wanted to, and I would keep his secret safe for as long as he wanted me too.

I skipped downstairs and found Jace in a couch reading a big book. His eyes skimmed across the pages quickly and within a minute or two, he flipped the old yellow parchment and his eyes started going again. "Hey, Jace… What's up?"

Jace looked up at me, squinted sarcastically, the jammed a finger at the book. He widened his eyes.

Being energetic and keeping the Institute lifelike was hard when nobody appreciated what I was trying to do. I got up and left heading to my room Alec was in a bad mood, Jace was apparently occupied with something more interesting then me and Hodge wasn't much help to talk too. So I guess I would spend the rest of the day by myself.

I closed my door behind me and standing in the middle of the room, I looked around for something to do. Swords and daggers were piled in one corner of my room, and clothes were scattered along my floor. I guess I could clean my room… Nah. I threw some clothes and a book off of my bed and laid down. My sheets were soft and my pillow softer. The bed smells of clean cotton and sandy waters. I sat back up. What was I doing? I wasn't tired…

Bored, that's what I was. But it was almost 5 I could call in for dinner from a Chinese restaurant, maybe… Why not? The guys wouldn't eat anything I made and all of them were in some kind of predicament. So I was decided, even though they didn't appreciate me, I appreciated them and ordering them food was the most I was going to do. It was time they started looking after themselves.

*Alec's POV*

Isabelle left without saying a word. Was it too much for her? People are allowed to be what they want to be, right? Even an 18 year old Shadowhunter? I don't know why it was bothering me now… Isabelle wouldn't tell anybody. I decided to play it like nothing had ever happened and hoped for the best.

I went down to the library where I knew Jace was. No one really had to think about it… Jace was always reading or studying a weapon, learning new techniques for fighting, etc. I wasn't really that ready to face him, just wanted him to see that I wasn't really as psycho as the last time he had seen me. I sat down on a chair in the corner of the room. I stared at him intently. He looked untouched but the uneasiness was KILLING me. I continued staring. Could he feel my gaze?

I suppose he could… Jace never even missed an ant crawling around on the floor. He was observant, but didn't always notice things. I started reading a book (or pretended at least…) looking up at him every once in a while making sure he wasn't completely ready to murder me for what had happened earlier. I felt so freaking paranoid!

Jace turned around, his beautiful eyes meeting mine, making me sweat and my stomach turn. I managed a crooked smile, or close to one… I think. "… Hey Alec."

I raised an eyebrow.

He looked as if I had just shot him. He ran his fingers through his hair, something I had been longing to do for as long as I can remember. He raised his hands in the air as if he was being robbed.

I uncrossed my legs, set my book down, and got up. He looked at the book I had put on the table. My cheeks flushed. "Hey Jace."

Jace smiled and my heart pounded. I could feel and urge of some sort beginning to come along. I felt extremely dizzy, and after a moment I regained composure.

"You feeling alright?"

"Yeah, I'm fine." I gagged a little.

Jace nodded his head, his curls bouncing as his head was once again in line with mine. His eyes flashed to the door just before Isabelle walked in smelling of Soy sauce and egg. We all exchanged glances almost as if we were communicating through our eyes, but none of us new what the other was saying. Each time Isabelle would look at me her glance would become grave and her blue eyes would widen. "Dinner's here." She said at last.

Jace raised her eyebrows and his ears perked up he ran out and down the hall to the kitchen.

Me and Isabelle stood in silence for a while. She opened her mouth and took a breath "Did-"

"Nothing happened, Izzy."

"Bu-"

"Izzy." I rasied my voice a bit. Then let it die down. "Drop it…"

She gave me an apologetic look and slightly nodded her head. She turned around and waited for me to stand beside her to walk her to dinner. She never did that… But this was a very confusing time for all of us.

I did what she silently told me to do. I wondered when I would stop doing things like this, if I was ever going to be "normal" again. I sighed. What would it take? I would do anything.
