Chapter One: New House, New Start

A/N: Hello, humans! It's me, Giggles. Just to warn my fellow Grammar Nazis, this is totally non-corrected. I love the ClaryxAlec pairing. This my first fanfic! Yea! I like exclamation marks! BTW, this AU and Alec is NOTgay.

Alec quietly walked up the steps to his new house. He really did not want to move without his brother, Max, but his mother said he had to forget him and move on. Yeah, right. I'll never forget my baby brother who you basically killed. Why couldn't you just let him go to that stupid place without yelling at him about how worthless and stupid he was for three hours, huh, Mom? "Alec, can, you keep walking? This box is heavy." Alec's sister, Isabelle, was glaring at him. "Oh, sorry, Iz." He kept going into the new townhouse. "Whoa, this place is huge." Isabelle exclaimed. "I think it's too huge. There's only fou- three people in this house." Alec muttered under his breath. Alec ran upstairs. Isabelle followed suit, grabbing his shoulder when she reached him. "Alec, are you okay? Are you mad or something? Is it me?" Alec shook his head. "No, it's not you. I'm mad at the world for taking Max from us." He watched as tears started to form in Isabelle's eyes. "Oh, crap. I'm sorry, Iz!" Isabelle shook her head. "It's not you. I just miss Max so much. I can't believe Mom would do that." Alec shrugged. "That's not all she did." Then Alec walked downstairs to unpack. He'd never be the same mellow Alec again. That was his sworn vow.

AN: Intro: Check! Thanks so much for reading this, and I'm so sorry it's so short. I'll probably write another chapter today.
