Y/N's POV

Clary and I walked down the sidewalk with Jace, Izzy, and Alec were ahead of us. I watched the ground and followed the cracks with my eyes as Clary talked. She was talking about some time she and Jace had gone out on a magic motorcycle but beyond that I was not paying attention.

"It was kind of romantic." I gave her a look and she just stuck her tongue out. We laughed and I nearly tripped.

"Woah there Princess." I hand reached out and steadied me. I looked and saw Raphael there with a smirk. I blushed and smiled. "Don't want you hurt."

"Thanks Raphael." He smiled back at me. My gaze flickered to his lips and back to his eyes. A cough next to me pulled me out of my trance. I turned toward Clary and blushed again. The other three walked back to us and they started a conversation with Raphael. Every now and again our gaze met.

"Care to share?" I looked at Clary.

"What?" I gave her a confused look. She smirked at me.

"Your like non stop staring at Raphael. Care to share what's going through that mind of yours." She whispered to me. I side-glanced at Raphael.

"I have no idea what your talking about. Raphael is just a friend. Plus remember I am in a relationship." I reminded her. She slumped in the shoulders.

"Oh yeah. You know I don't like him."

"Yes, I know. You have said it a million times." Suddenly, my phone went off. I looked down and saw it was Terrance. Clary gave me a look. "Clary, I got to go."

"I know. I'll see you later." She gave me a hug. I waved bye to the rest and walked off. 

3rd Person POV

As Y/N walked away, Raphael's eyes followed her until she was out of his sight. He continued to look in that direction long after she left. He felt someone move next to him and he turned. He saw Clary. He lifted his eyebrow in question at the smirk on her face.

"You like her." She said plainly. He looked away. "You know she is in a relationship but I don't think it will last. He's not very nice."

"What do you mean by that?" He gave Clary a look that said to explain. He crossed his arms and gave her his full attention. 

"Well, when he is with her around us, he is not the nicest. He is stoic, stern, and short with everybody and not to mention rude. With Y/N, he always treats her like she is his maid or something. Like she is there just for him to use."

"Hmmm." Raphael's face gave a far away look. 

*Time Skip*

Clary and Raphael became more worried about Y/N. It had been weeks since they saw her. In fact, the night Clary told Raphael about Y/N's boyfriend was the last time anyone saw her. Until one night where Clary finally got ahold of her and they made there way to the Hotel Dumort to see Simon.

Y/N's POV

"I was starting to get worried, Y/N. I had not gotten ahold of you for so long."

"I'm sorry. Things just came up and I was busy forever." I gave her a smile. She gave me a 'oh really' look then laughed. She started to dance and skip down the street with me chasing and laughing after her. We made it to the Hotel just after dusk.

"Simon!" Clary called out as we entered the living area.

"Clary! Y/N!" He called back and swooped Clary off her feet. I laughed at them and Simon, while still holding Clary in one arm, came over and hugged me. "Good to see you! You've been completely awall girl."

"I know, I know. I'm sorry." We all sat down and caught up for the time I missed. I bit my lip at the memory of why and slightly shuddered. After a while, Simon and Clary started to mess around.

"Oh! I know! We could play a game. We just need a, ummmm..." He twirled around and looked at me. "We just need your scarf!"

"No!!" I shouted and tried to back away. He grabbed the scarf and took it off. 

"Why are you freaking..." He trailed off as he looked at my neck. Clary saw the marks as well and went wide eyed. 

"Y/N..." I didn't let them finish by bolting. I went running through the halls until I ran into someone.

"Woah there! Y/N what's the rush darling? Where's the...." I looked up to see Raphael staring at my neck. And I don't think it was because he was hungry. "Y/N." I ripped out of his grip and ran again straight out of the hotel this time. I made my way home and stopped to finally catch my breath. I jumped as the door opened next to me. I looked up to see my boyfriend.

"Get inside now." He said in a growl.

Raphael's POV

I felt anger coursing through my veins as I saw the marks on Y/N's neck. I stormed to where I knew Clary and Simon were. I saw them with mortified looks, looking at each other.

"Who the hell left the hand print bruises on Y/N's neck?" I bellowed and they jumped. They started to stutter.

"I don't know. It definitely was not us." Simon looked at a scarf in his hand.

"The only option is it was...it was her boyfriend." Clary said in a horrified voice. I growled and closed my eyes.

"Where does she live?"

"She lives with him." She told me the address and I took off running. I didn't care at this point in I ran past humans at my speed. All I cared about was Y/N. I made it there and looked at the building. I saw a shadow in an upper room and it was a woman. I climbed the rail next to the balcony and slowly made my way in. I heard crying and turned to see Y/N in the corner with red eyes. 

"Y/N." I shot over to her and pulled her into my arms.

"Raphael!" She cried.

"Shhh. It's okay. I'm here." I held her tight and ran my hand through her hair in comfort. She pulled back a little and saw a black eye and nearly growled again. Just as I was about to speak a gut came in yelling.

"Y/N! Where are you? What the hell is this? Who are you? Are you cheating on me you whore?" Y/N was ripped from my grip. The guy slapped her across the face right in front of me. The anger I had tripled when he did that. I slowly stood and walked up to him. I grabbed his arm that was holding Y/N tight and he let go. I gently moved Y/N behind me and made sure she was away from him.

"You." I said. I picked him up by his neck and growled showing my fangs. "Are a dead man if you come anywhere near her again." He was struggling against my grip. "And the only reason you're still alive now is because she if here. Feel lucky." I let him go and he hit the floor. As he tried to gasp for air I picked up Y/N. "I'll be back for her things later. I would suggest you not be here or I don't know what I'll do." I ran and jumped out the window. I ran us back to the hotel to my room.

"Thank you." She whimpered after awhile of silence. 

"I would never let you stay with a man like that. Especially now that I know what he has been doing to you."

"But why? Why do you care so much?"

"Because I love you Y/N. And I am not afraid to show it. I love you." I looked at her surprised face. I got worried until a smile came across her face. She lunged and knocked me over onto the bed. I felt her lips on mine and kissed back. She pulled away and hovered over me.

"I love you too Raphael. So much." This time I smiled and pulled her lips to mine.
