Alec's life had become brutal.

He had been throw out into the streets when he had told his parents he was gay. He had been olny 14 then. His father had thrown him out and said to kill himself because it was the best thing. He had starved for 4 days, when Isabelle came looking for him and dragged him back home. She was a determined girl. He avoided his parents as much as possible. He stayed on the streets when his parents came home from their trips. They were away on business most of the time and Alec was grateful. Alec would have been full time homeless otherwise. He hadn't told his siblings fearing their reactions and he was't going to tell anyone else.

He had even started dating a girl named Aline. She was a nice girl, but Alec didn't want her. He felt bad to be using her, so he endured the kisses, the attention. Now he was going to start at her school. His siblings and himself were going to school tomorrow. He would be taking the bus to his little place on the street, and his siblings were going home to greet Mayrse and Robert. If he stayed at the house when his father was home, he would be sporting some new bruises. If his father so much as saw him walking down the street he would punch him then and there. He hated Alec and thought he should be dead. Alec had tried to bury that part of himself, and Aline helped. But he still was who he was. He couldn't face the school, and all the torture he would go through. He was never going to tell anyone.

Some secrets are better buried.

Magnus sat with clary Simon and Camille at lunch. He had heard there was going to be new students and he wasn't the least bit surprised when four students walked through the cafeteria doors. One of them he recognized, as Aline Penhallow. She was holding hands with one of the new boys-

He was gorgeous.

He was had midnight hair and crystal blue eyes. He was blushing furiously, and he pulled his hand gently away from Aline's. She frowned, but still walked beside him.

Behind him was a tall boy with blonde hair and -gold- eyes. All the girls were staring at him all googly eyed. Some were staring at the other boy too of course. There was also a girl, she looked remarkably like the boy. She was tall, with her short red dress and shiny black heels. Her hair was raven black, but she didn't have the boys blue eyes. She had eyes that looked black, but were probably a very dark brown in truth. She walked around confidently as well as the Blondie, But the black haired boy lacked their confidence somewhat.

He was jerked out of his reverie when Clary elbowed him. Clary was his girlfriend, but it wasn't very serious between them. She knew Magnus was bi, but she would never bully him about it.

"the blonde boy is so cute, Magnus." Magnus knew she was saying this because she knew magnus would go for him. She didn't like those cocky, arrogant boys.

"yeah that's what everyone seems to think." He replied.

The bell rang and the students were all off to their classes. Magnus had English next.

He hated english.

Alec wanted to get away from Aline. She was a nice girl, but so clingy. Besides, she wasn't Alec's type. But he would never fall in love, find a type. He reminded himself sternly. For that to happen, he would have to become comfortable with being gay, and he wasn't obviously.

He zoned out through most of the lesson, like he always did. He had bigger problems than his grades. He would be living in the street for the next week and a half and he wasn't sure how he was going to conceal it. He would be dirty when his parents finally left for Texas. They would be gone for two months, thank god. But he had to make sure that his father didn't see him or he would be bruised and bloody. His father might even go farther than that. Alec shivered involuntarily.

Alec felt a tap on his shoulder. He turned and looked up at a very tall boy, with hazel eyes and flopping black hair. He looked like he was Indonesian, because of his skin tone and the slight curve of his eyes.

"don't you have to be somewhere". He said, grinning down at Alec.

Alec stared around in confusion. Oh, he thought. Class was over.

"thanks." He said, getting up.

He didn't want to be late on his first day at the new school.

" Magnus." He said extending a hand. Alec hesitated before shaking it.

"Alec."

Magnus was mad at the new boy, Alec. The way he had hesitated before shaking Magnus's hand. He had almost acted like Magnus was a disease. The boy was probably a stinking homophobe. He had wanted to hit the boy.

Next time Alec was going to be late for class, Magnus was going to let him be late.

School ended like it always did, with Magnus saying goodbye to Clary, then heading for his vehicle. He saw the Lightwood's across the parking lot about 300 feet.

he caught tidbits of the conversation and it sounded like Alec was arguing with his brother and sister.

"i will be back in two weeks Iz." Alec said.

"scared...dad...back soon."

"taking the bus." Alec responded his hands in his pockets.

"See you tomorrow." Said the other boy, i think his name was jace. He shrugged turning away from Alec. Alec headed in the opposite direction of his siblings. The other two were still arguing as they walked.

He wondered where Alec was going.

It as none of his business.

Alec boarded the bus and got off close to his usual place. This was usual. He was walking down the street hurriedly when he accidentally bumped into someone on the phone. The man was wearing a suit, and when he turned to look at Alec, he almost screamed.

"you piece of shit." Robert sneered, and much too Alec's surprise he punched Alec in the face. Alec fell to his knees, clutching his jaw. Robert gave him a kick and then continued down the street like nothing had happened, leaving Alec alone in New York.

Magnus had a big party planned that night so he rushed home. He had even invited the Lightwoods.

It was around 8 when the room started to fill up, and around 11 then the party actually started. He noticed Isabelle drinking alone in a corner, and approached her.

"did your brother come along." Magnus asked casually.

A shadowed look passed over her face before she said

" Jace is over there i think." Isabelle said pointing.

"no, Alec." He replied.

Isabelle flinched when i said the words then shook her head.

Where had the boy gone?

Most of the party was a blur.

He caught sight of Aline, and his the scene came into focus. Aline was passionately kissing Will, a boy whom looked similar to Alec.

Had she thought Alec was Will?

But from her words Magnus was convinced this was not the case.

" ohh. will. you are a good kisser." She was obviously drunk.

Alec was not going to be happy to hear about this.

Magnus didn't see Alec until sixth period. He was leaned up against his locker, his hood up, concealing his face. He was dressed in all black on top with a black hoodie and shirt, and he wore worn jeans on the bottom. His head was tilted back.

"are you okay." Magnus asked and Alec jumped, his hood falling back. Magnus stifled a gasp.

He had a nasty bruise in his jaw and he also had a split lip. His hair was ruffled, and there was dried blood on his forehead where he had been cut. Alec looked bad.

"god. Alec. what happened to you." Magnus whispered.

Ale smiled the ghost of a smile.

" nothing."

His tone made Magnus drop the subject. He didn't want to deliver the news to this boy who looked broken.

"i saw Aline kissing will last night." He blurted, but Alec only shrugged like he could care less. Magnus put a hand on his shoulder, but he flinched away.

Magnus was suddenly furious.

"don't wanna touch the fag i see. Stupid homophobes." Magnus said turning his back on a pathetic looking Alec. He heard Alec swear when his siblings came rushing towards Alec and Jace said something like

"...father?."

But magnus was gone before he could hear anything else. He wasn't sure he could bear to hear more.
