Another Chance

Chapter 1

Alec watched Magnus as he walked away, soon disappearing from the glow of the witchlight and his sight. As soon as the warlock was gone, Alec dropped to his knees and dropped the glowing stone. "Magnus!" He called out, "Magnus wait! Come back!" But he didn't. The Shadowhunter felt tears begin to drip down his cheeks in a steady stream. He was numb.

After what seemed like hours but was really only a few minutes, Alec finally remembered where he was; under the city, in a subway tunnel. He quickly got to his feet and wiped any trace of tears from his face. Now that he could no longer stay in Magnus' apartment, he'd have to get walking soon to make it back to the Institute, not that it mattered much. He knew everyone was probably still up; it was only 10:55. Nothing mattered to him at the moment, anyway. He had just lost his first love to a stupid mistake he didn't even make. Unfortunately, Magnus hadn't seen it the same way.

Alec staggered back the way he came, up the stairs, through the streets, and before he knew it, his feet had taken him back to the Institute. Only seconds after the large door was pushed open, his ears were met with his sister's cry, "ALEC!" She leapt from her spot on the red couch in the foyer, "Did you come to visit?" Her long arms were wrapped around his neck before he could fully register what was going on. "Isabelle!" He choked out, quickly losing the ability to breathe. "Oh, sorry." She smiled embarrassedly and released him, "So where's Magnus?" She glanced behind him, not that Magnus, being slightly taller than him and every glittery, wouldn't have been fully visible. "Izzy…" Alec looked up at his sister for the first time. "Alec? What's wrong?" Isabelle's voice had sobered when she saw the haunted look in her brother's eyes. "Izzy, Magnus and I… Aren't together anymore. The last part had refused to come out of his throat correctly due to the tears welling up in his eyes choking him. Isabelle's eyes widened in shock, "W-What?" She stuttered, "Oh Alec, I'm so sorry! What happened?" She grabbed his hand and pulled him inside to the couch.

Just then another voice rang out from upstairs. Jace. "Alec? He's back?" Said golden male appeared from the stairs, Clary in tow. "Hey Alec!" She called. Alec managed a weak smile and wave, "Hey guys. How've you been?" Jace must've noticed how his voiced betrayed the fact that he was obviously trying to hold back tears; the joy vanished from his face and he plopped down next to Alec on the couch. "Talk." Was all he said.

Alec nodded and took a deep, shaking breath.

Sorry for the shortness, but I already have the second chapter typed up, so I'll have it posted soon. Please tell me what you think, criticism is good! And, yes, that does include flames.

Thanks for reading!
