3rd Person POV
Oneshot
Author's note- Just a little someting I cooked up to deal with post CoLS pains. R&R, Enjoy!
Alexander Gideon Lightwood was sitting on his bed, no not at his boyfriend's, sorry ex boyfriend's home, but at the Institute where he grew up. Peering over at the clock those evil flashy red letters said that it was 5:52 pm. It had been one week yesterday since he and Magnus were officially over. He checked his black (obviously) phone to see if the non-existent text from Magnus he was waiting for would have finally came saying he forgave Alec for being so... even Alec didn't know how to explain what he had done. One tear rolled down his eye and more followed close behind, soon he was full out sobbing into his lap. In the distance he heard his phone clatter to the floor next to his bed where he must have dropped it.
Footsteps in the hall alerted him to the fact that his sister, Isabelle Lightwood was coming. "Alec?" she said as she cracked open his door with an unlocking rune, "Why aren't you and Magnus's place living the dream?" That just made him cry harder. "Alec!" Isabelle ran to her brother curling up into his lap as she had when they were little and he was reading her bedtime stories when their parents were in Iridis. Alec glanced down at his sister and told her everything, how he negotiated with Camille about stripping Magnus's immortality, how he lied about it and how he nearly killed Raphael.
"Well it's not all your fault Alec, I mean by the angel I'd have done the same thing if it was Simon" Izzy spoke finally. "Not that I like like or anything!" she amended. "I mean really he won't even talk about his childhood or who his dad is but he expects you to be all open and take him as he comes, eek sorry unfortunate wording choice on my part there." Isabelle said as she saw her brother's horrified expression.
"Yes it was but it is my fault. I saw Camille even though I knew how see played the game. Angel only knows what I would have done if I hadn't discovered the Maureen had killed her. Isabelle I was going to kill her." Alec looked so distraught.
"Now see here Alec no brother of mine will mope about the house like this over some boy-"
Alec cut her off. "He isn't some boy he's the love of my life as crazy as that must sound to you or Jace. God I'm not like you guys he was my first boyfriend and I don't no I just thought it would be a forever thing."
Sighing Izzy hugged her brother and settled her head in the crook of his neck. "Nothing is forever." her words were quiet, nearly inaudible. "But your not like us and if Magnus has any sense he will be running back here in a week but he needs time, and so do you, you haven't slept in days big brother." Isabelle stood up. "I am ordering everything on the menu from Taki's right now, or rather Jace is since he was outside your door the whole time."Blushing Alec glaced at the door just in time to see Jace crash into him with a bone crushing hug. "It will get better." he said. Sliding off the bed and out from under Jace Alec ordered takeout from his mobile as he watched Jace and Isabelle argue over watching a Fashion Star marathon or an America's Next Top Model marathon and in 30 minutes when the food came and he payed the werewolf who delivered it with three 20s his siblings had decided on Top Model and were watching it already patted the spot on the bed in between them. His life was far from perfect and his heart was forever broken (or was it?) but he had the best and I mean best little sister and brother in the world.
