Here is the second part of this two-shot. I enjoyed writing it and I hope that you will enjoy reading it :)

Alec's POV

I was peacefully sleeping when I heard a shout from the kitchen.

"STAY AWAY FROM ME! I DON'T EVER WANT TO SEE YOU AGAIN!" What the hell? I wanted to ignore it but... Wait... is that Clary? I got from my bed and headed towards the door. I didn't even bother putting on a T-shirt and ran out the door only in sweatpants. I ran to the kitchen full-speed, past Izzy's room, down the stairs. There was no one besides Jace. I had a bad feeling that he had something to do with it. He was leaning against the counter, staring at the floor. He didn't even notice me at first.

"Hey. What happened?" Something was wrong. Very wrong. I could sense it. He lifted his head up and I could see hurt and regret written all over his face. I wonder what happened between him and Clary...

"That's none of your business." This made me angry. I stopped him when he was trying to walk past me and leave. I gave him a deadly look.

"Oh I bet it is, so spill it." I pushed him back, maybe a little too strongly. He looked down and sighed defeated.

"Okay...Um..I..Ehm..."

"You what?" I was getting really impatient.

"I cheated on her." That was it. That was the moment when I lost it. Without hesitation I raised my fist and hit him in the nose. He stumbled a few steps back, but didn't fall.

"You little motherfucker, how could you do that to her?" I grabbed him by the collar so I could look him in the eyes. I couldn't believe that this was parabaitai, my bother... I didn't recognize him. And I couldn't recognize myself either. Why was I reacting like this? Clary. No. Yes.

"Why do you even care?" Why do I even care? Good question. Maybe because I have feelings for Clary? Shut up! I pushed the thought to the back of my mind.

"Maybe, because I thought that you cared about Clary and I thought you could do better than that."I punched him again.

"You know... If I didn't know you any better I'd say that you have feelings for Clary." He smirked, wiping the blood from his bleeding lower lip. That sent me over the edge. For a moment I forgot that he was my brother. I punched him once again and this time he fell backwards. I got on top of him and started throwing punches like I was crazy. Then and there he would hit me back, but it wasn't as effective as he'd like it to be.

When he looked like he had enough, I stood up and went to my room, leaving him behind. I closed the door behind me and let out air I didn't even know I was holding. I walked to the bathroom, turned on the light and looked at myself in the mirror. I observed my refection very carefully. My lip was bleeding a little bit, but nothing serious. And I had two bruises. One was on my jaw and looked pretty bad. I didn't even dare to touch it. The other one was on the side of my nose. That one looked a lot better. I gently washed my face with warm water. After that, I switched the lights off and left the bathroom. Strangely, I didn't want to go back to sleep. I guess it was the rush of emotions that I felt. So I decided to go for a run. I got dressed and left the building.

I felt the cold air in my hair, which felt nice. Everything seemed to be forgotten for a moment as I ran through the streets of New York. Or.. almost everything. My mind kept wandering to Clary. What was she doing at the moment? But more importantly... How was she doing? I felt the anger boiling up inside of me again, so I ran faster. But no matter how fast I ran, I couldn't run away from my feelings. I am in love with Clary Fray. Call me selfish, but I was glad that they were over. He didn't deserve her anyway. She was too good, too pure, too perfect for someone like Jace. I backed off because I wanted her to be happy. Even if that was with someone else. As long as she was happy, I didn't mind. But now... I needed to know she was okay. I needed to see her and make sure that she was alright.

I returned to the Institute and made my way straight to Clary's room. When I reached her door, I didn't know whether to knock or not. I didn't want to wake her up if she was already asleep and I didn't want to storm in without knocking. After a few moments I knocked and waited a couple of moments, but she didn't open the door. So I knocked again, louder this time. Still no response, that was strange.

"Clary, are you in there?" Slowly and quietly I opened the door. I had a bad feeling about this. I stepped over the doorstep and goosebumps ran over my body. After I closed the door, I switched on the lights. I couldn't see her anywhere. At that moment I started to panic a little. I ran to the bathroom to see if she was there, but she wasn't there either. I looked around her room, trying to find some clues. Her bed looked made and untouched. Her closet was spread open and some drawers were empty. She ran away. I quickly searched for my phone in my pockets and dialed her number once I found it. Come on, Clary. Pick up. She didn't pick up and I got directed to the voice mail.

"Hey...Um..Clary, this is Alec. I know what happened and.. I know that you ran away. I just... I know what you're going through is hard but please, be careful." I didn't really know what to say, so I hung up. I hoped she would listen to the voice mail. I have to go looking for her. I put my phone back in my pocket. Then I left her room and made my way out of the Institute. I didn't notice that before, but it was cold. I walked a few meters but then I stopped. As I looked around my surroundings I realized that she could be anywhere. I would search the whole New York to find her if I had to. So I took off. I walked and walked through the streets and the dirty alleys of Manhattan, checking every corner, constantly looking around hoping the spot a certain redhead. The thought of giving up and going back the Institute never crossed my mind.

I pulled out my phone to check the time and also if Clary replied. She didn't and the time was 03:03. I stopped for a moment to think. I had been nearly two hours and I still hadn't found her. I was even more worried than before, if that was even possible. So I started walking again. I am not going back to the Institute without you Clary. By the Angel, where are you? I felt a raindrop on my cheek. Another one on my hand. Another one on my nose. And then I started feeling them everywhere. It started raining and at that moment I was glad that I had taken my thick waterproof jacket.

Suddenly I started hearing someone's sobs. As I was getting closer, I could hear better. They were coming from a small alley. Clary! It was Clary! I noticed her red hair being illuminated by the street lights. I walked very slowly to her.

"Clary." Her head shot up my way and stopped. I couldn't move, I felt as if her eyes paralyzed me. The next thing I know, she was running away from me so I went after her.

"Clary! Clary, wait!" Damn, all the training made her a really good runner, I had trouble just catching up to her.

"Go away, Alec!" I ignored what she said and started running faster than before. She kept looking over her shoulder. When I finally caught up to her, I grabbed her arm and spun her around. She crashed against my chest and when she realized what happened she started hitting my chest and shoulders.

"LET ME GO! I don't want to go back." She gave up and started crying. It was still raining and it was hard to spot the difference, but I noticed. I pulled her in a tight hug and didn't say anything. It hurt me to see her like this, it broke my heart. She let go of me and I noticed that every piece of her clothing was soaked. I instinctively took off my jacket and wrapped it around her shoulders.

"Here. You need it more than I do." She held it closer to her.

"Thank you." She smiled and I swear my heart jumped a little.

"Anytime." I smiled back. I lead her to an entrance of one shop that was roofed. The ground was dry so we sat down next to each other. I had my left arm wrapped around her and her head was resting on my shoulder. It felt nice. We sat in silence and Clary was the first one to break it.

"Why did you come looking for me? And how did you know I was gone?"

"Jace told me what he did to you and I beat him up pretty hard." She chuckled and I laughed a little bit too.

"So that was you." She looked up at me. These beautiful green eyes... I almost got lost in them and forgot to talk.

"Ye-Yeah, that was me. And when I wanted to check on you, I didn't find you in your room. I panicked. You didn't reply to my voice mail so I decided to go looking for you." I looked her deeply in the eyes. "I was really worried that something might happen to you." I examined her face and memorized every single detail. Her pale skin that contrasted with her fiery red hair. Her beautiful emerald eyes that I got myself lost every time I looked into them. Her small adorable nose and finally, her lips. Lips that I had wanted to kiss every since I saw her.

I found myself leaning closer to her as I was looking into her eyes. She didn't look like she minded. I saw she looked from my eyes to my lips and then back to my eyes. I put my right hand on her cheek and she leaned her head and closed her eyes. That was when I couldn't take it anymore. I crashed my lips against hers. I know it sounds cliche but I felt sparks. I put everything in that kiss. Hope, anger, pain, passion, newfound hope but mostly love. I didn't know how long we were kissing, I felt like I was in heaven where time didn't exist. But Clary pulled me down to earth when she pulled away. We were both breathing heavily. I would have said something if I could think straight.

"Alec, I-"

"I love you, Clary." I blurted out without thinking. Shit! Shit! Shit! For a moment there was confusion in her face. I thought that she would get mad, slap me and storm off, but none of that happened. She smiled.

"I can't hide it anymore, Clary. I am in love with you. I know that there's a lot going on in your world at the moment and I promise you, that I'll be there for you when you need me." Our foreheads were touching and I was holding breath, afraid to let it out. Clary leaned her a head a little and kissed me on the cheek.

"I would love to be with you." She was looking in my eyes and then her eyes traveled down to my lips. She bit her lower lip and I kissed her again, with no regrets. This kiss was more heated and passionate.

"We should go back." Clary said unexpectedly.

"I thought you didn't want to go back."

"I didn't but I'd have to face Jace one way or another, so why not get through with it as soon as possible." She got up from the ground and looked down at me. I got up soon after she did.

"Okay, let's go." I took her hand and we slowly walked back to the Institute.
