"Jace damn it stop pacing!" The clock read 3:00 am. We had been at the hospital for over 24 hrs and emotions were running high. My hair was up in a messy bun and Jace was rocking the homeless grandpa look in ripped up jeans and a shirt with some stain on it. Clary had brought him clean clothes but he still hadn't changed. My Victoria Secret sweats were a spot of black in gold in the lifeless hospital but I felt so uncomfortable and all I wanted was a shower. Suddenly a thought crossed my mind, "Did you call the vets? Oh! Did you call Magnus?"

Jace looked like a monkey with his head tipped to the side and a confused look on his face. "Magnus who exactly?" God he was really thick sometimes. He knew Alec was gay but somehow he still couldn't put two and two together and get four.

"Seriously Jace? Maybe you were too busy staring at your girlfriends ass these last 3 weeks to not notice our brother leaving every day and maybe you were too drunk last night to not notice our brother walking in with a very sparkly man in tow. Maybe Jace you just haven't paid attention to Alec in a long time." I clapped a hand over my mouth and looked down swiftly at the yellowing tiles. I shouldn't have said that. We were all confused and worried but I shouldn't have taken it out on Jace. "I'm sorry." It was a whisper barely audible over the hum of the cheap air conditioner that had the room chilled to arctic proportions.

"Don't be… It's true. But you're not any better. We all forgot about him. He just … blends to damn well. He always has." Jace ran a hand through his golden locks, a gesture that left women in pools at his feet was oddly sad right now. He looked so broken as he slowly shifted to his gaze to our bruised and battered brother on the crisp white hospital sheets. Alec's ebony locks were plastered to his forehead and half of his face was covered in long cuts and bruises. How anyone could hurt him for no apparent reason was beyond me, he was really defenseless in this big bad world.

"To answer your question. Yes I called the vet's office. Jacob's doing better but they aren't sure. He's got a broken leg, he's lost a lot of blood and his hips are completely shattered. They said it would be expensive to fix him if he lasts another day," I opened my mouth to insert that we would do whatever and pay whatever because if Jacob died I didn't want to think what would happen to Alec, "Yes I told them that price isn't a problem. I'm not a complete ass hat. How do I call Magnu-what ever?"

"It's Magnus and ask Clary. He is her shrink." A flash of recognition crossed Jace's sleep deprived features and I saw the gears start to click into place.

"That Magnus?! Why is my brother hanging around with that Magnus?" And the gears had stopped obviously.

"Because they are dating! Jace god you really are thick!" Jace's head snapped toward me and my neck hurt just watching him.

"What?" His face looked incredulous but under all of it I saw the hurt flash across his strong features.

"They're dating Jace. Mom told me.. You didn't see it? They were practically drooling over eachother." It had been beautiful. Alec never let Magnus's hand go and what was with the whispering? The jokes? Hell all the smiling had been unusual especially during a party? Magnus had definatly had an effect on my brother and I was liking it.

"Well I'm sorry. I was to drunk to notice." The sarcasm would have fooled anyone else but I saw the sadness in his golden eyes. Alec made a low moaning sound from the bed and I nearly ran over to him, hoping up from the uncomfortable wooden chair, but he didn't move or make another sound. I was so focused on Alec that I almost didn't even hear Jace say, "Why wouldn't he tell me."

I turned not letting go of my hold on the bed and said, "Jace your not exactly the easiest person to talk to. Besides Alec always been … confined. He didn't tell me either."

"but I'm his brother. I'm his bestfriend he could tell me anything. Shit he could ask me to go and help him bury a body and I would tell him give me 5 minutes I need to go buy a shovel from home depo. Why wouldn't he tell me." He ran his hands down his face and sat down in the chair I had been calling my throne for the last 6 hrs. "Why is all I'm saying. Why is my brother in some hospital with brocken ribs a concussion a collapsed lung and his face fucked up. Why isn't he confiding in me. Why?"

"Jace I just don't know. I'm sorry but I don't know." I grabbed his hand and pulled him up. I wrapped my arms around him and gave him the most comforting hug I could manage. I think it worked because after a little while Jace said,

"Fine I'll call Clary then I'll call Magnus. Check the vets office again Izz." Jace turned away from me and left the room. I pulled out my phone as Alec let out another low moan.

It was going to be a long day.
