Okay, so i'm much more pleased with this chapter and I have tried to do what some of you asked me to; with longer chapters and everything is in the same style, except for the characters thoughts now.
When I first started on this story I wanted to have Alec in every scene but this is a different one, I noticed how you're missing quite a lot even when he's not in the same room etc. So I hope you're going to like it :))
Isabelle noticed how Jace followed Alec with his eyes as he walked out the door.
"Is something wrong?" she wondered and placed a hand on Jace's shoulder
"No" Jace mumbled and headed towards the stairs
She followed him, knowing that something was going on - she could feel it.
"I can tell that you're worried about something" Isabelle continued and tried to meet Jace's eyes.
"And I can tell you that you're wrong" Jace replied and was just about to tell her to leave him alone when Isabelle slammed him against the wall.
"Tell me, what's going on?" she said determined
She was really strong and when it came to her family, she would do anything to protect them, Jace knew that and loved that about her, even if he'd never told her.
"Is it about Alec-Alec and Magnus? Why does Alec has a black eye and why are you looking at him like that?" Isabelle cried
"Izzy-"
"Just tell me!"
Jace swallowed and looked away. He had promised Alec not to say anything and he didn't want to break his promise, still…
"Alec.. Alec and Magnus had a fight, that's all and that's why he's been acting a little weird lately. But, I gave him the black eye when we were practicing" Jace exhaled
"About what? Is he okay?" Isabelle looked at him with big eyes
"I promised Alec not to tell you, or your mum-"
"Well you should have, both of you!" she said and hit his right arm before she let go of him
"I'm sorry" Jace mumbled and stared into the ground, rubbing his arm
"I just wish he would have told me. And since when did you get so soft, listening to Alec and doing what he asks you to do?!"
For a second she could see that Jace was hurt by her words but a moment later it was gone.
"What do you mean?" he wondered
"Oh come on, he's always looking after you, and me, and you know he lov-"
"Loves me. I love him too, like a brother and he know's that, it's just-"
"Just what?" Isabelle whispered, she was starting to get upset, Jace could tell and he hated to see her like this. He raised his head.
"Like I said, I made a promise - if you want to know what's going on maybe you should ask Alec"
"Oh I will," Isabelle replied "And I will kill Magnus Bane if he ever breaks by brother's heart."
And I will kill your father it he ever puts his hand on Alec again, and he will kill me for breaking my promise, Jace thought
"Izzy, I have to-" he started but was interrupted by a noise further down the hall. "Wait here."
"I said, does-he-know?" his father breathed and Alec could feel the pressure on his back.
He shook his head, to afraid to answer. His father grabbed his hair again and slammed his head in the desk; one, two, three times.
Alec felt dizzy and once again he could taste the blood in his mouth, not sure whether it was from his lip or nose.
"Please stop" he pleaded and tried to push away his father's hands but the grip just tightened.
"No, you stop Alexander!" his father breathed "I told you that you should stop seeing that man - you're only hurting yourself by doing this. If you stop, I'll stop."
"I'll stop" Alec whispered "Please dad…"
The grip on his neck loosened and his father helped him to turn around. As Alec faced him, Robert looked at him for a long time. His nose was bleeding, so was his lips, he had a gash over his right eye and Robert could tell he was trying to fight away the tears. It reminded him of when Alec was little, he'd hurt himself, he couldn't remember how right now, and Alec had come to him - Robert had told him that it was okay to cry and had kissed his forehead.
"Does he know?" his father whispered once again and stroke Alec's cheek
Alec closed his eyes and swallowed hard, now the blood was mixed with salt and he just wished for Jace to walk in on them again.
"No" he mumbled before Robert hit him again. He broke his nose.
