"Wakey, Wakey Allie!" Someone whispered, Alec felt someone lightly smacking him on the face.
Alec mumbled something that made no sense and turned away from the hand and pulled the covers up over his face. "Go away" he mumbled, "I'm sleeping."
"Well you have to wake up" The voice said, He recognised that it was Isabelle's voice.
"No" He said, burring himself further under the covers, "It's too early."
"It's only four thirty in the morning" Isabelle said, pulling the covers off of him and pushing him off the bed, "Now get dressed and come downstairs, we're getting breakfast on the way there."
Alec grumbled and stood up, "okay, I'll be down in a bit."
"You look terrible" Isabelle said.
"Thanks" he said rolling his eyes.
"No seriously you look terrible" Isabelle said, "when was the last time you brushed your hair?" she asked.
Alec shrugged "Few days ago" Alec said, "now can you please go" he said gesturing to the door, "I'll be down when I'm done okay."
"Okay fine, be quick" Isabelle said walking out and shutting the door.
Alec tore off his stripped pyjama pants and pulled on a pair of his old worn out jeans. He pulled his long sleeved shirt off and looked down at his arms for a moment or two before pulling on a thin t-shirt then a sweater over it.
You ready to die yet? The little voice asked, or are you still afraid to?
Alec shook his head, "I'm not afraid" he whispered, "I'm just not ready."
Sure… the little voice said.
Alec smacked the side of his head making the little voice shut up. He walked downstairs into the lounge room where everybody was. Max was asleep on the couch, Jace was leaning against the edge of the couch, Isabelle was sitting on the floor in front of the couch, Jeffery was looking at Alec with a look that Alec couldn't really out his finger on and Magnus was looking as amazing as ever, even at four thirty in the morning.
"Good everyone's here" Vicky said, "let's go."
Alec followed them all out of the house to the Jace opened the back door of the car, the back of the car was filled with bags, boxes and camping supplies.
"How are Alec and I going to fit in the car?" Jace asked.
"Just climb over it all" Vicky said, "You'll fit in."
Alec and Jace gave each other a look and started to climb over the supplies, after a few minutes of struggling and climbing they managed to get to their seats. Everyone else piled into the car and Jeffery started the car and drove off.
Alec closed his eyes and tried to get as comfortable as possible in the cramped space.
"Alec" Jace said after a few minutes of silence "Alec, Alec, Alec, Alec" Jace repeated.
"What?" Alec asked, not opening his eyes.
"Are you sleeping?" Jace asked.
"No" Alec mumbled.
"Great" Jace said, "Because I need to talk to you."
Alec groaned and opened his eyes, "what about?" he asked.
"I want to talk about you" Jace said, "are you okay, you don't seem okay."
"I'm fine Jace" Alec told him, "we really don't need to talk about me."
"What are you two talking about?" Jeffery asked.
"Well I'm trying to have a deep and meaningful conversation about feelings and unicorns with Alec" Jace said, "but apparently he's fine so my attempt at having a deep and meaningful conversation about feelings and unicorns with him was a complete waste of time."
"It's alright Jace" Magnus said, "I've tried having a conversation full of deep unicorns and crap, but he won't talk he's too stubborn."
Jace nodded, "he is stubborn, Alec! You're like a donkey."
"Are mules the stubborn ones?" Magnus asked.
"Donkeys Mules they're the same thing in my book" Jace said, smacking Magnus on the back of the head.
Uggh he's annoying, the little voice said, how can you have a crush on him? The little voice asked.
"So anyway" Jace said, facing Alec again, "why won't you talk about yourself and unicorns?" Jace asked, raising an eyebrow.
"I don't need to talk about myself I'm perfectly fine and I don't know why you are talking about donkeys and unicorns" Alec told them.
"But we want to talk about feelings with you" Magnus and Jace whined at the same time.
Isabelle groaned "shut up you to some of us are trying to sleep."
"You shut up" Jace said, "some of us are talking about feelings and donkeys."
"Alec" Jeffery said, in that-I'm-your-father-you-do-as-I-say tone, "have a conversation with your brothers."
Alec cringed at the word brothers, Jace was his brother but Magnus wasn't. "I don't want to have a conversation with them" Alec told Jeffery.
"Don't use that tone with me son" Jeffery said.
"Why should you care" Alec muttered, "You're not my father."
"Alec!" Vicky scolded, "Don't say that."
"Whatever" he mumbled, sinking down in his seat and letting some of the bags cover him up.
"You can't hide from your problems forever Alec" Jace said.
"I don't have any problems" Alec mumbled, "You have problems."
"Sure whatever you say" Jace said, "but we'll have a talk later."
"No we won't" Alec said, closing his eyes and pretending to be asleep.
"We will" Jace said, pulling the bags off Alec, "And it will be deep and meaningful and donkey filled."
"Shut up Jace!" Isabelle yelled, "I'm trying to sleep, if Alec doesn't want to talk he doesn't have to talk! Now shut your pie hole and be quiet!"
"Someone's a little grumpy" Jace said.
Isabelle sat up in her seat and leaned over and smacked Jace on the head.
"Ouch" Jace whined, "Vicky! Isabelle hit me!"
"Jace just be quiet it's early in the morning and your sister obviously wants to sleep" Vicky said.
"Fine" Jace mumbled rubbing his head, "I'll be quiet."
"Thank you" Isabelle said.
The rest of the long car ride everyone was mostly silent, except for Jace who kept complaining about pins and needles every few minutes. For most of the time on the trip Alec pretended to be asleep, because he couldn't really fall asleep because of the little voice telling him how much better off we would be dead or how much of a loser he was.
The car jolted to a stop making Alec jump in his seat.
"We're here kiddos" Jeffery said, "get out and look around where we'll be camping out for the next few days."
Everyone opened their doors and Alec and Jace climbed over Magnus, Max and Isabelle's seats and got out by their doors.
"Wow it's so beautiful" Alec heard Isabelle say.
Alec looked around the clearing he didn't see how a patch of grass and trees were beautiful.
"It's amazing" Max said, "it's like an enchanted forest or something and like inside the trees are magical little elves or fairies or something?!"
Alec looked at his younger brother but decided not to say anything because it could upset Max.
"I like it" Jace said, "It's pretty."
"It's pretty?" Magnus said, "That's all you have to say about this beautifulness?"
"Well I don't want to say it's a majestic forest that make me want to cry each time I see a flower" Jace said, "because that will lower my man points."
Magnus rolled his eyes "What do you think about it Alec?" He asked, ignoring Jace's stupidity.
"I don't see how trees and grass can be beautiful, pretty or amazing" Alec said, shrugging, "they're just trees and grass. It's more green than beautiful."
"Well I can see you aren't the type of person who see's beauty in all the things around them" Magnus said.
Vicky and Jeffery walked over to the five kids, "so what do you think of it?" Vicky asked, "Beautiful isn't it."
"Well apparently it's too green for Alec" Magnus said, "but aside from that it really is beautiful."
"How can something be too green?" Jeffery asked Alec.
Alec shrugged and walked to the car and started pulling out the supplies and bags so they can set up everything. Jace and Magnus came over to help once they saw what he was doing.
They got everything out of the car and started unpacking the bags that had the tents in them. There were two tents that could fit three to four people in them, the rest of the family came over to help set up the tents and they were done a short while after. After they were done setting up the tents Vicky told Jace and Jeffery to set up the tarp, and told Max and Isabelle to help her with setting up the makeshift kitchen and bedrooms and told Magnus and Alec to go find fire wood.
"No" Jeffery said, "Alec can help me put up the tarp, Jace and Magnus can go find some fire wood."
"Dad seriously" Magnus whined.
"Jace" Jeffery said, ignoring his real son's whines, "go with Magnus."
"Okay" Jace said, walking into the forest, "come on Magnus, you snail, hurry up!"
Magnus followed Jace into the forest and Alec went over and helped Jeffery. Jeffery told Alec the instructions to set up the tarp and they set it up in about six minutes which according to Jeffery was great!
"Max, Izzy and I are going to go have a look at the lake" Vicky said.
"Have fun!" Jeffery said, smiling happily.
Alec ignored them and sat down in one of the chairs, he bought his knees up to his chest and wrapped his arms around his legs, he was feeling cold.
Jeffery bought a chair over and sat down right in front of Alec, "Alec" Jeffery said.
Alec looked at his, father, "what?" he snapped.
"You need to fix your attitude towards this trip" Jeffery said, "ever since last night you've looked angry and upset, like you don't want to be here."
"Well I'm not angry and upset, that's just how my face looks" Alec said, "and let me tell you something you were right about one thing I don't want to be here."
"Brighten up" Jeffery said, "Camping is fun!" Jeffery smiled happily, "think of it as a bonding moment for the whole family!"
"Max, Isabelle and Jace are my family" Alec mumbled, "you, Vicky and Magnus aren't, so just stop pretending that you're my father, you're not my father, my real father's dead."
"Alec" Jeffery said, looking a bit hurt, "I understand that it's hard on you but you really just need to let it all go, and accept that Vicky and I are your parents now and Magnus is your brother."
Alec glared at Jeffery, he's not my father, Vicky is not my mother and Magnus is not my brother.
"Hey!" Jace yelled, "Magnus and I are back, where do you want us to put this wood?"
"Over near the stove" Jeffery said, standing up.
Alec heard the thumps of the fire wood hitting the forest floor.
"Okay boys" Jeffery said, "how about we go to the lake and spend some time with the family" Jeffery turned away from Jace and Magnus and looked at Alec "that includes you Alec."
Alec sighed and got up out of the chair and followed his father and his brothers to the lake.
"Now what are you boys doing here?" Vicky asked, when the four of them made there way to the lake.
"We came to visit you" Magnus said.
"Wow, that's one good looking lake" Jace said.
Alec looked at the lake, it wasn't very big more like a large rock pool and it was filled with water, he didn't see how it was good looking it just looked like an ordinary lake/ rock pool thing.
"I know!" Isabelle said, "It's amazing, look how blue and clear it is you can see right down to the bottom."
"Really?" Jace asked, he ran to the side of the rock pool. Alec watched as Isabelle walked up behind Jace and kicked him into the water.
Everyone but Alec started to laugh, Jace pulled himself out of the rock pool/ lake and glared at Isabelle.
"that was not funny, Iz" Jace said, " but because it was so smart I think I should give you a hug" Alec watched as Jace chased Isabelle around the water's edge for a while until Jace managed to grab her by the waist and through her into the water.
Isabelle splashed water at Jace "that wasn't fair!" she yelled, pulling the hair sticking to her face off her face.
"It was so" Jace said, walking over to Magnus, "I think your just lonely in there, Iz, here" Jace grabbed Magnus's arm and started pulling him toward the water, "I'll give you a friend" Jace pushed the protesting Magnus into the water.
"Jace, you idiot!" Magnus yelled, once he appeared out from under the water, "You ruined my hair!"
"No I didn't" Jace said, "I made it look better!"
"I wanna jump in the water!" Max yelled running up the rock pool/ lakes edge and jumping into the water.
Max emerged laughing, "that was so much fun!" he squealed.
Vicky and Jeffery laughed, "You kids are being silly" Vicky said, "your clothes are all wet now, do you know how long it will take them to dry?"
"A while" Jace said.
Vicky sighed and pretended to be annoyed but her smile gave it away.
"You know" Jeffery said, "Alec's the only dry kid here."
Alec glared at Jeffery, of course I'm the only dry kid here I don't want to get wet! Alec thought.
"you're right!" Jace said, he ran over to Alec and grabbed his wrist, "come one Alec, let's go swimming."
"No!" Alec shouted, trying to pull out of Jace's grasp, "I don't want to! I'm fine with being on dry land."
"Well to bad you're going swimming!" Jace picked Alec up and threw him into the water.
The water hit Alec like a tonne of bricks. He felt something sharp hit the back of his head and his vision went blurry before blacking out completely.
