Sorry I haven't updated in a while I tend to get terrible writers block and unfortunately that's what happened here, but it's hopefully gone now and maybe I can update more often although I won't promise you anything. Just wanted to tell you all that I did not die in some tragic accident and that I appreciate all the reviews, and if I have any loyal readers out there I just wanted to say thanks for being patient. Hope you like this chapter if not well then maybe the writer's block hasn't worn off yet.

Just a Game Chp 12

Alec POV

I stumbled into the apartment only half aware of the blaring of the phone that was echoing throughout the space making everything sound like I was in the middle of some sort of explosion. I was still trying to get over Magnus, and the fact that I may or may not be in a secret relationship with the king of the fashion world, and probably my polar opposite. So many questions were racing through my head, but I forced the annoying voice that always talked me out of everything and was basically my voice of reason to shut up. The phone was still ringing and it was finally breaking through the daze that I had found myself in since I had kissed Magnus at the park, sighing in annoyance and wanting to kill whoever was on the other end of the line I walked over and picked up the phone.
"What!" I screamed down the line, I hoped that whoever it was would get the message and leave me alone.
"Alec you have to turn on the TV now!" another voice screeched down the line almost making me drop the cordless phone, Izzy sounded frantic, I vaguely wondered what could have happen to make her sound like that.
I scrambled to get the remote and after dropping the damn thing about a million times I managed to press the button and the screen blazed to life blinding me temporarily.
"In other news Magnus Bane was spotted tonight in Central Park with none other than the famous hockey star Alexander Lightwood. Nothing unusual about two friends just hanging out at the park but something tells me there's more than meets the eye with this strange and unheard of friendship. Lets take a look. I stood silent and horrified as images that I remembered perfectly from this evening flashed on the screen, Magnus and I sitting on one of the benches each of us leaning towards each other the way couples do when they talk, like they're in some sort of bubble. Then another, us kissing, there was no way that I could talk my way out of this one. The secret that I had safe guarded for years was out all because I had been stupid and let my emotions get the best of me. Now I was wishing that I hadn't ignored the voice in my head that had screamed at me not to do that, never ignore the little voice in your head even if you really want to.

"Alec are you ok," I heard Isabelle say but her voice sounded muffled like I was hearing her through water, distorted somehow. "Alec," she repeated this time a worried edge creeping into her voice.
I turned away from the TV, "I'm here Izzy," I said hating how my voice cracked halfway through her name, "I don't know what to say, except I was stupid and now its over. Everything is over."
"Alec don't be stupid this is not the end of the world, granted it would have been better if you had told the world and not been caught but there's nothing we can do about that now. I'm coming over don't leave, and don't answer the phone unless its me." She hung up leaving me listening to the familiar dial tone, the sound of it buzzing in my ears like a hive of angry bees.
I sank down on the edge of the couch and let my head fall into my hands, there was a faint ringing in my ears and when I opened my eyes the world shifted and bent in a way that I was pretty sure was not normal. My stomach was in knots and there was a knot in my throat like the ones that you get before you burst into tears, although the tears wouldn't come. It was like time had stopped as I waited for the one person that might be able to help me, the one person that had kept my secret for years and the person that I trusted more than anything in the world.
It might be sappy and childish but my sister was always the person that I had been closest to, the person that could make me talk no matter how bad it was, and the person that had kept all my secrets without my even asking. Jace was still my brother, and I loved him like family, but there were things that I couldn't tell him secret conversations that I just couldn't have with him. Especially since a lot of those had to do with the fact that I had been in love with him for twelve years. Although now that I think about it, I haven't thought about Jace since I went to Magnus's party with Isabelle.
Someone knocking hard on the door snapped me out of my thoughts about Magnus and Jace, and about secrets and sisters. I jumped off of the couch swaying unsteadily on my feet for a second before the world came back into balance.
Rushing over to the door careful to keep the sounds of my footsteps quiet just in case it wasn't Isabelle, I squinted one eye and looked through the peep-hole. The familiar dark black hair thrown up into a bun with a piece of what looked like blue silk wrapped around several strands, she was standing with her hand on her hip staring at the door and tapping one foot in the nervous habit that she had never really managed to get rid of. I felt myself relax at the sight of my sister and unbolted the door before throwing it open.
Isabelle wasted no time in barreling through the door and wrapping her arms around me, almost squeezing the life out of me along with my breath in one of the famous Lightwood bear hugs.
"I'm so sorry Alec. I'm so sorry." she kept muttering into my shirt. I managed to peel her away from me after a few seconds and closed the door behind her, locking it again and sliding the dead bolt back into place. I didn't want any weirdos trying to pick the lock and get in tonight.

We walked over to the couch, me staring at the floor and Izzy watching me, I knew that if I looked over and met her eyes that they would be dark with worry. "Alec I never thought that this woul.d happen," she started but I held up a hand to cut her off before she started blaming things on herself again. She hadn't been the one to force me to get in the car with Magnus that afternoon, and she hadn't made me kiss him either, that had been my decision and she was not about to feel guilty about it.
"Izzy just stop. None of this is your fault and if you think it is then you're an idiot, it was my decision to get in the car with the glitter freak and its my fault that the news got a hold of those pictures. Now we need to stop worrying about how we could have prevented this and worrying more about how we're going to handle this, obviously people are going to have questions and we have to tell mom and dad something."
I didn't know where this was all coming from, a second ago I had sat on the couch convinced that the sky was falling and about to throw up what little lunch I'd eaten and now I sounded like I had a plan. Although I knew that I didn't at least I didn't sound like I was completely terrified.
"Alec you don't really think that they'll make you leave the team do you, just because your gay, I mean it's not like you killed twenty old women or something." I laughed a little at her comparison but she could tell I was worried, it was in my voice and my eyes. I knew that if I looked in the mirror now my usually light blue eyes would be the color of the sea before a storm and my face would paler than usual, the color bleached out by worry.
"I don't know what they'll do Izzy. We're just going to have to wait and see but for now lets just forget about this ok. Lets just be normal tonight, and not be the famous hockey star and the up and coming designer, lets just be Isabelle and Alec tonight." she nodded and laid her head on my shoulder in the way that we had done since we were little. We stayed like that for a while just pretending that none of this was happening, and that we would get up in the morning and things would be the same as they always have been, we were lying to ourselves, but sometimes a comforting lie is better than a horrible reality. I was almost asleep when I heard it a persistent banging on the door, I looked at Isabelle and her eyes widened in shock.
"Alexander," said soft voice that I would know anywhere, "Please open the door its Magnus."

Hope you at least semi enjoyed the chapter and I already have some of the next one written so maybe it won't be over a month before I update again.
