This Is How I Disappear

Magnus walked slowly up to his apartment door and unlocked it. It was a week after he had dumped Alec.

But a few days later Alec requested to talk to him, so Magnus arranged to meet Alec at a coffee shop called Ya Mocha Me Crazy. A day later an angry Magnus was sitting and waiting for Alec to come meet him.

Then, Tessa, his old friend, came up to him hugged him and kissed him on the cheek. Magnus invited her to sit down, she accepted. They talked for a while about the old days. All the while Alec was standing a short distance away. Alec went and sat down into the chair farthest away from Magnus. He talked to Magnus for a little while about when Alec could pick up his stuff and how everyone was doing. Magnus was very cold to him and acted as if he didn't care about how Alec was doing or how the rest of "Team Good" was. Feeling awkward, Tessa left, asking Magnus if he would go to dinner with her to catch up, he said he would love to. After that Alec left but not before Magnus told him again to never call him with any of Alec's problems, looking even more down then he was before.

He knew that Alec had come to get his stuff and return his key. Magnus swung the door open carefully. He made his way over to the table closest to the door and found 3 things: Alec's purple sparkly key to Magnus' apartment, a stele (which Magnus immediately identified as Alec's.), and an enveloped cream letter.

Magnus gingerly moved Alec's stele and the key off the letter. He quickly tore open the envelope and unfolded the letter wanting to know what it said. He started reading.

Magnus—

I just wanted to say I'm sorry for what I did. I hope maybe one day you can forgive me for it. But, if you don't, it won't matter. I know I was unwise and naïve to find Camille and ask for her help. I was also selfish. I would have never gone through with it. I could never hurt you. Ever. You know I was told, that I was going to be cast aside by you, as one of your failed relationships, and then finally forgotten, once you were done using me. Was I some kind of brand new toy that you quickly grew bored of? I never wanted to believe that would happen to me but I sure as hell know it now. You will move on (and it looks like your well on your way with that.), find someone new (hopefully that girl, (Tessa, was it?) she was nice), and I will be left broken, unable to move on, like somebody's broken toy that can't be fixed. So, what's the point? What's the point of living like that? There isn't a point. You won't have to worry about the pictures of us that you shoved into your closet. You will be happy to know I threw them away. I left your key on top of this letter and I have taken all of my possessions with me so you won't have any reminders of me (not that you would want them as reminders of one of your tragic loves). Along with the key you will see I have left my stele with you seeing as iratzes do not work on wounds I have.

I hope it all works out between you and Tessa or whomever you are happy with in life.

Love(even if you don't return it),

Your Alexander.

Unable to hold back anymore, the usually happy and upbeat High Warlock of Brooklyn, broke down. He made Alec believe that he'd moved on, that's what sent Alec over the edge. Why was he so cold to him? How could he do that to somebody who loved him and who he loved just as much? What should he do?

So many questions flew through his mind, seeming to go at the speed of light.

Should he call Isabelle? Or should he go to the Institute himself? Alec wouldn't hurt himself would he? Where would he go?

Deciding to call Isabelle, he pulled his phone out of his pocket and started dialing. His hand shaking, he put the cell to his ear.

Isabelle finally answered after about 20 seconds.

"Hello?"

"Isabelle?"

"Yeah. Who else would it be, warlock?" She spat.

"Isabelle, I know you are angry with me but-" She cut him off.

"Oh no, I'm not angry with you," She told him. "I just never want to see you again, because if I do, I will kill you." She promised, snarling.

"Isabelle, this isn't the time." Magnus heard her take a deep breath like she was going to start yelling at him again. "Isabelle, for god's sake this isn't the time." He interrupted, close to tears. "Alec came by my apartment earlier to drop off his key and get his stuff, but he left a note and it really worries me."

"Why? What did it say?" Isabelle questioned quietly into the phone.

"Isabelle, do you know where he is?" Ignoring her previous question.

"I don't know last time I saw him he was in his room. Let me check." Magnus heard Isabelle's high heels clacking on the hard floors of the Institute fast enough the he knew she was running. Finally, after about 45 seconds or so, there's a creak that Magnus knows is Alec's door opening.

Isabelle gasped and dropped the phone.

"Isabelle! ISABELLE! WHAT HAPPENED?"


This will be a two-shot, so don't dismay. Also, it will have an alternate ending.
