Clary POV

I was lying on my bed thinking of Jace. Why was my mind still hung up on him after all he'd done? Hadn't he done enough? I wanted more than anything to hate him and be able to forget him, but I couldn't. I switched my trainer to Alec, he was sort of shocked I mean. Who wouldn't we barely talked and it was quite the shock when he accepted.

He had no idea why I switched trainers no one did. I never told them what Jace had done with Aline. He hurt me like no one had. And the worst part was I thought he loved me. He hadn't even told anyone what he did. He just said we broke up. I guess once a player always a player?

"Clary?" A voice said from behind my door, I got up and opened it.

"Alec?" I questioned, it was nearly ten and he'd never really come here that late.

"Get dressed please, I want to show you something" He said, I raised a brow.

"You do realize this is my day off right?" I asked. He rolled his eyes.

"Clary you were one of the happiest people I know and now you're sad and depressed. The same way I feel about my failed relationship, but we shouldn't spend our time feeling bad and upset when the people who hurt us is out living their life having fun. So get dressed or you're going dressed like you are" He said, I sighed. I let him in my room and shut the door.

"Care to tell me where we're going?" I asked.

"A club for Shadow hunters" He says, I nod and walk into my closet, I pull off the long gamer's t-shirt and pull on a red dress that was strapless and pulled on some black strappy heels. I looked in the mirror at my hair, I took it out of the messy bun and brushed it into waves. I walked back out to see Alec looking at my sketchbook.

"What's with the dark sketches?" He asks. I shrug.

"I guess they reflect how I feel right now" I say, he nods.

"I'm sorry for what Jace did to you. I don't know what happened but I'm sure it was his fault" He says, his eyes genuine.

"It's not your fault but thanks. I'm sorry for what Magnus did or didn't do" I say, he nods. "What's the destination?" I ask.

"Arcadia" He says, I heard of that club. It's really hot everyone's been talking about it. Thanks to Isabelle I know about alot of things I could really careless for. She threw away all my old clothes saying I needed to get back out there. All I had was a gamer tee that I hid in my bag. Thankfully she didn't search it.

I opened the portal with my stele and we stepped through and landed outside a huge building it was a step up from Pandemonium, it was decorated with black, purple blue and gold. The last color I wanted to see, Alec put an arm on my shoulder and led me inside.

"Just forget everything that's been on your mind for the past days and have fun alright?" He says, I shrug.

"It's easier said then done Lightwood" I say, he rolls his eyes.

"Oh Raziel! When did you become so boring and depressing? And I thought I was bad..." He frowned.

"I am not boring" I glare at him. He leads me to the bar and steps closer.

"Prove it" He whispers. I raise a brow.

"How exactly can I do that?" I ask.

"You can start by drinking a round of shots?" He says. I shrug, wouldn't it be nice to get extremely drunk and forget? According to the many drunks in the world, you forgot what you couldn't run from.

"Alright" I say, I want to forget, I want to stop seeing that lying bastards face. I want to let go. I want to be free of this infectious disease which has claimed my heart and very soul. Jace Lightwood.

Alec orders six rounds of shots, two margaritas and four sex on a beach's. I gaped at him, did he really think this was just the start?

"Don't punk out now Clary, according to Simon you're quite the dare devil" He smirks. I frown, he's talked to Simon about me? Weird...

Alec leads me to a private lounge booth, a tray in one hand and my waist in his other. I scooted into the plush booth, Alec slided in, placing the tray of drinks on the table. I just kept my gaze on the drinks in front of us. When did Alec Lightwood become a let loose kind of guy? He was always the serious one... Now he was acting sort of like Isabelle and Jace, lets just hope he didn't refer to Jace's personality.

"Drink up" He said, he put three rounds in front of me -equivalent to three shots- and three rounds in front of him, one margarita and two Sex on a beaches. I took a deep breath and down the first shot, as soon as the liquor hit my tongue I gagged. It was so disgusting.

"Swallow" He said, lifting my chin. I swallowed, cringing at the taste. After a few seconds the taste was sort of delicious. I giggled.

"What happened to stern, serious Alec Lightwood?" I questioned.

"He grew up, he decided he was too young to be acting like an old person. He should be living in the now" He says. I smiled at his new demeanor. If only I could be that happy and straight forward...

"Drink Missy" He demands, I stare at him incredulously.

"How do you expect me to go back home if I'm drunk?" I ask, he smirks.

"You have a room at the institute." He shrugs. I sigh and throw back another shot, this time not stopping, I just keep drinking along with Alec.

Alec POV

I watched as Clary sipped her third margarita, we'd finished out drinks in under five minutes and ordered more. I was pretty gone for, As well as Clary, we couldn't stop smiling and laughing. I'm sure the Shadowhunters who controlled their liquor were looking at us as if we were crazy.

I grabbed Clary's hand and led her to the dance floor. I felt like dancing and by the way she kept bumping my leg, I could tell she was antsy. I was a much better liar than I used to be, because I felt just how Clary felt, if worse. To be honest I had no idea what I was so mad about? My mood right now was weird, I felt like doing many things.

Like earlier when I saw Clary in that dress, I felt my eyes darken. She looked extremely hot, the red was a fiery sight for sore eyes. She was extremely gorgeous and her luscious legs were showing. She was extremely more mature and beautiful. It was weird what a year of maturing and training could do for you. Her stomach was toned, as well as her arms and legs. Her butt was bigger and she had bigger breasts she was a full C cup now.

She'd worked really hard to avoid Jace, even to the extreme. It wasn't that hard since Jace was in Alicante with Aline most of the time. I couldn't understand that at all. Clary was a better girl for him and her heart and appearance was a bonus. He hadn't seen her since she'd started training with me a year ago. I could tell if he'd seen her now, his eyes would literally pop out of his head.

I started moving with Clary, as she grinded into me. She was driving me crazy, ever since I started training her I couldn't help but like her, take an interest in her, we started hanging out and talking regularly. As she would Isabelle. It was pretty obvious I felt something for her, even if my heart was still achy. Isabelle found out and literally screamed, she was excited at the site of me and Clary together.

She said our features would produce a beautiful child. I just gaped at her, I mean I wasn't thinking that far into the future. Though if I was being honest I wanted her to be the mother of my children. It took me by surprise when I finally embraced the idea fully. A week ago I decided I would do my damn near well best to protect her, I knew she hadn't slept well. Her emotions were all over the place, she was mostly pissed and sadistic, throwing herself into training and hunting.

She was at a high rank, thanks to all the hunting and training. I was proud of her as well as Simon, Isabelle, her parents and mines. They even embraced Clary as a fourth child. I wrapped my arms around Clary's waist as we danced. Sweat starting to bead our foreheads. She looked extremely breathtaking.

"Ally I like when you hold me!" She giggles. I laugh.

"Really?" I say, raising a brow, though she can't see me.

"Yes really" She murmurs.

I inhale her rare vanilla/peach scent. It's mouth watering. I love the touch of her sensitive skin. Her touch sending shock waves through me. Clary stops dancing and I spin her around to look at her. Her face is pale and she looks as if she's going to hurl. I lead her towards the hallway. She rushes into the ladies room and I hear the unmistakable sound of retching.

I make a bold move and enter the room after her. I walk into the stall she's in and hold her hair out of the way. First time drunk... I remember my first time, Isabelle and I were so drunk Jace had to literally drag us back to the institute. It was a good thing we had on our glamour rune, because that would have been just awkward to explain to mundanes.

Clary POV

Alec carried me to his room, once he closed the door with his feet, he laid me on the bed. He slipped my shoes off, rubbing my ankles along the way. I couldn't help but feel a flutter deep in my stomach. He was doing things to me, like Jace had, but with Jace it wasn't this slow. He'd usually just shove me off because of the fire. When he did what he'd done the fire had been rid from him and he was back to himself.

He cheated on me two months later than left me. I had felt abandoned and lonely. The feelings I'd been trying to run from came back, after four hours of dancing and drinking and having fun. I was thankful Alec hadn't let me stay home depressed and upset.

Over the past few months, he'd warm up to me. We'd become friends, but that was it. I felt a relief wash over me when he was near by, my heart would flutter rapidly. It felt like how it did when I'd first met Jace and he'd intrigued me. I was frightened to lose Alec, he was a good friend. He'd accepted me for the way I was. Simon did to but with Alec it was different.

He slowly unzipped my dress and pulled it over my head. He folded it and put it on the arm chair in the corner of the room. He walked to his dresser and pulled out a long t-shit. He slipped it over my head, then took off his shoes, socks and pants. He kept on his shirt. He climbed onto the bed and pulled me under the comforter with him. I snuggled into him, feeling the immense safety and warmth he was giving me. It wasn't like usual when he talked to me or looked at me. It was different.

I fell asleep within seconds, of him holding me.

I walked down the hallway of the institute headed for Jace's room. I was so exited, he'd finally gotten back from Idris where he'd seen the clave. I'd missed him more than anyone could have ever missed a person. It just felt so right to be with him, to see him. I wanted to kiss him senseless. I was finally ready to give myself to him and I was thankful he'd been patiently.

I was practically skipping down the halls. The other Lightwood's were out at some function. I didn't want to go because I wanted to surprise Jace when he got back.

I heard sounds from his room and I stopped where I was and listened. Thinking I was just being my normal paranoid self, Thanks to Simon's horror films and stories.

"Jace... when are you going to tell Clary about us?" I heard a female voice. My eyes widened, maybe it wasn't what I thought?

"I'm going to tell her tomorrow. Her parents just moved into a new house and she's got alot going on. I'll tell her about us when I see her I promise" He said, I felt my heart stop. What did he mean by us?

I heard sounds I knew were the ending of our relationship. I heard moaning and groaning. Kissing sounds and even worse the tear of something. Thanks to Isabelle's gross talks. I knew it was a condom.

Anger rushed through me as I kicked the door open. "You ass!" I screamed, Jace looked up his face pale. I saw Aline Penhallow, the supposed lesbian underneath my now ex-boyfriend. My heart shattered into a million pieces seeing them together. Aline screamed in horror and Jace looked beyond dumbstruck.

"I guess you don't have to wait until tomorrow..." I whisper.

"Valentine was right. To love is to destroy and to be loved is to be destroyed" I spat venomously.

"I was so stupid to actually think you loved me or even cared about me. You're still the same man whore Isabelle and Simon warned me about!" I yelled. Jace finally rid of the shock, got up taking one of the sheets up with him, he was covered.

"I'm so sorry Clary... I-" I cut him off.

"Don't even play the victim card..." I snapped.

Aline looked mortified and I wanted more than anything to take her down but I knew intellectually I didn't want to see her disgusting ass naked. I cringed at the thought.

"I want nothing to do with you or you..." I said, gesturing to the both of them. The galls of him and to think I was going to...

"And to think I even considered having my virginity taken by you!" I growled.

"What a damn fool I am... I could have been at that stupid ball or whatever Isabelle wants to call it, dancing mingling. I could have met someone else! But you're selfish ass had to make me love you. I spent the last year with you... and you hurt me! You... You destroyed me... but then again how can I be destroyed if you never loved me to begin with?" I say, venomously.

I storm out leaving Jace lost for words and Aline shocked.

"Clary wake up!" I heard a male voice, and my eyes fluttered open. Alec was hovered over me, his legs straddling my hips.

"A... Alec?" I stutter, confused at to why he's on top of me.

"You were screaming and kicking in your sleep" He says, I blush.

"I'm so sorry... I didn't mean to..." He shakes his head.

"It's alright... Um I think you'll want the remedy rune" He says, I feel a pounding in my head. Remedy Rune... Hangover. I groan.

He chuckles, grabbing his stele from the nightstand drawer. He does the rune and I smile.

"Thanks" I smile. "May I?" I ask. He nods. I draw the same rune on his arm.

"What happened last night?" I ask. My mind was fuzzy, all I remember was dancing, drinking and a club.

"We were beyond drunk... we slept together.." He says, I start to panic. My first time was in a drunken state with my second best friend? I was dumbstruck.

"I'm kidding Clary, I know your a virgin, I would never do that to you. You deserve better" He says. I punch his arm.

"That wasn't funny" I say, glaring at him. He chuckles, moving from over me.

I get up and stretch. "Funny how this was the best sleep I've ever had in over a year" I say.

He grins. "I sort of gave you the peaceful rune" He said.

"Thank you... This year hasn't really been the best but you've been really caring. Even when you were hurting you put me ahead of you" I said.

"How about some breakfast?" He asked. My eyes widened.

"Isabelle isn't here and my parents won't be back for another month" He said, I nodded. I went to the bathroom and brushed my teeth with the extra's he had in the first drawer, I washed my face and ran my fingers through my hair. I walked back out to see Alec in pajama bottoms.

"I order a day of lounging" He says, I chuckle.

"Yes sir" I salute him, he lips me up and carries me bridal style to the kitchen.

"Alec!" I squeal, giggling.

"You asked for it" He said, laughing. I pouted.

Alec POV

I had Clary in my arms, walking towards the kitchen. I was extremely happy to know she had a good sleep last night. I was happy why she smiled and laughed. She ought to do it often. It was the most brightening of things. I felt pissed that Jace would cause her so much pain to the point where she wouldn't even smile.

It sickened me to see that he just left for Alicante with Aline. It was very disgraceful and wrong. I was extremely pissed at the thought of what he'd done to her. I didn't know but I really wanted to.

She wrapped her arms around my neck, snuggling into me and I felt my heart beat accelerate. I walked into the kitchen and I nearly dropped Clary at what I saw. My dear younger sister was doing butt lifts on the table. The family table where we eat. Clary gagged.

I cringed. "Isabelle that's disgusting we eat on that table!" I shouted, she turned around and grinned at me, with a knowing smirk.

"Not like I haven't done it before" She shrugged.

Clary hit her head into my chest. I was truly disgusted beyond repair.

"So where did you two go last night? I heard you guys come in late last night" She grinned.

"Out, weren't you supposed to be at Simon's?" I ask.

"Yeah, but him, Maia and Jordan went to an emergency band meeting and I clearly didn't want to go." She said, I nodded. Putting Clary down.

"By the way smoking hot outfit Clary. I see you're taking my advice" Isabelle complimented. She wasn't even close, Clary was beyond that she was utter perfection.

I walked over to the stove and put a plate in front of Clary. I can't believe Isabelle was here, I was so going to give her hell for this, she knew I wanted to make this day perfect for Clary. I bet she was eavesdropping.

"Isabelle can we talk?" I stare at her, she rolls her eyes.

"Whatever. Clary it's not too late to come with us to Jordan's House Quebec. It'll be really fun, two weeks in an unknown place, shopping and eating or having fun" She's sugar coating the trip.

"No Isabelle" She says, eating her toast.

When we get into the hall I cross my arms over my chest.

"What the hell Isabelle..." I say, glaring at her.

"Simon really did cancel our plans yesterday, but I was happy anyway. So did you admit your feelings for her yet?" She questions.

"No, I want to make her feel at least close to what I feel for her first" I say, Isabelle narrows her gaze.

"What do you know?" I demand, she knows something I don't.

"She likes you..." She says, My eyes widen.

"Why didn't you tell me?" I asked.

"Because, she likes you..." Isabelle says, she's confusing me now..

"And?" I press on.

"And it scares her, remember Jace was her first love and he hurt her. She was so hurt by him, she's just scared if anything happens between you two. She might lose your friendship and it'll be Jace all over again" Isabelle's eyes are genuine.

"I would never leave her..." I say, she nods.

"I know that Alec. I know how you feel about her, it's pretty obvious... Just be careful alright?" Isabelle says.

I hug her, sometimes her maturity has me wondering who's older. Then I see her act her normal self and I forget about her maturity.

"When are you leaving?" I ask.

"Now actually. I just wanted to see you guys before I left" She says, I pull away.

"I guess I'll see you when you get back" I say, she smiles.

"I want details and if you don't give them to me Clary will" She states a fact. I snort as she walks down the hall.

I walk back into the kitchen to see Clary washing the dishes.

"I was thinking we'd watch movies? Simon gave me a list of your favorite films and I got them" I say. She laughs.

"Why?" She furrows a brow.

"I told you we're going to lounge around. We deserve a break" I say with finality.

"A break would mean no training until Isabelle gets back" She says, I roll my eyes.

"Yes Clary. According to Maryse and Robert, we're to stay out of the training room" I say, she nods and leads the way back to my room.

I have to admit I love seeing her in my shirt. She looks beautiful and her natural curls are like a fiery fire. I enter the room behind her and close the door.

"I have the whole Lord of the rings series along with Harry Potter so you can choose which one you want to watch first" I shrug. She smiles.

"How about Spongebob?" I smile, the only Mundane show I love. I would have watched the Lord of the rings or Harry Potter if she wanted but I was glad she picked that. I took it out the case and popped it in the DVR. I had episodes one through fifty on that single disc.

I crawled into bed and laid beside her, I used the remote to start it.

"Alec?" I looked down as Clary fixed her head on my chest. I felt warmth and a tingling sensation in my lower abdomen.

"Hmmm" I hum, she stares at the television.

"Thanks for last night. You didn't have to do that at all but you did and I'm glad you did. You made me laugh and smile. And it wasn't fake it was actually genuine. Thank you" She sighs in contentment.

"I should be thanking you. I had fun last night and I hope we can do it again. Well except for the retching part, but everything else" I say, she snuggles closer into me, as I pull the comforter back over us.

A/N: So this is my first shadowhunter story, I just love Alec and Clary and I had to put them together. Please don't hate me :(

There's not alot of Alery or Clarec stories on here and I figured. Why not right a story I want to see that some others might want to see on here too?

I will be updating this twice tomorrow if I get good feedback.

This is a really long chapter. It took me two hours, usually it would be around an hour but I had so many things to do, I had to stop and do something continually.

REVIEWS = UPDATE
