fingers drummed against the steering wheel , as his hand rested against his temple and he stared at the red light. only a few more blocks and he would be living in his own personal hell through the holidays. just a tiny part of him thought that this might be the payback for stealing his sisters boyfriend , for not even feeling sorry for doing it and shattering her heart into a thousand pieces and it had been two months since he had seen her the last time. she had packed up her the things shorty after she had bursted into the room and found simon and him in bed together , she screamed at them , even cried and maybe then he had felt a little bad about the situation but what could he say ? simon was cute and reminded him of someone and hell he had been such an easy targert. a few drinks and a few charming words and he was all over him. he never intedted it to be something more serious , but as isabelle walked out of the picture , simon become clingy and somehow he liked it.. but the worst part about this whole group thing ? noah hale. alec was quiet aware of the fact that the other would be there too and last year he had been more than happy to be the one driving him there , even sharing a room together until jace had to spill their bet , because he was too drunk to keep his mouth shut and ever since then alec could not stop thinking about the other. he had tried to get him out of his head , tried to sleep with different guys and then he watched simon and simon kind of reminded him of noah and then the mess happened. maybe he was not proud of the way isabelle had found out , but he would do it all over again.
„ you know i am just doing this for you , right ? “ , alec mumured and rolled his eyes as he parked the car in front of the lightwood lodge and was big enough for all seven people. and simon was so eager to go and be there , have fun with their friends , even though he had talked about isabelle before and thought it wouldn’t be fair to play happy couple in front of her , but he had shrugged it off. he had tried to reach out for her , but she had blocked her and he did know how stubborn his little sister could be. if she did not want to talk to him, so be it. he could live with it. he got out of the car and grabbed their bags from the trunk , before moving inside and putting the bags aside as he his gaze wandered straight toward the living room , where izzy , some dude he had seen before , but couldn’t remember his name and noah had been sitting. so either jace and clary were still on their way or upstairs. „ hey. “ , he greeted them, but watched as izzy immediately excused herself and rushed upstairs and he just rolled his eyes. „ iz.. c’mon it’s christmas.. “ , he called after her and rolled his eyes once more. damn his baby sister could be dramatic.. it had been months..shouldn’t she be already over it ? his gaze wandered towards noah then and he grinned lightly. „ as hot as i remember you , noah. “
