Alec tries to kill himself now it's up to Magnus to save him, told in Alec's POV as well as Magnus's.
To save a broken mind
(Alec's POV)
I have always been severely depressed, and for a while I had under control. Fighting demons, that helped, and after Clary entered the picture, my depression started up again, I tried to pretend it was fine, but when the greater demon appeared I took it as a chance to get up close and take everything pent up inside me out on the damn thing. That night I almost died. When I awoke my sister told me everything that had happened and as a result I went to Magnus, and the two of us started up a relationship.
When we first started dating everything was fine, I was fine. But then…Max died. I left his funeral early and locked myself in my room. If I had stayed with him and Izzy, he would still be alive, it's my fault he died. I should be the one that's dead, not him, he had his whole life ahead of him, my father doesn't even look at me anymore, doesn't even talk to me, my mother hasn't stopped crying since the funeral, and Izzy, she's a complete wreck. If I died, if I was dead, would it be better? Would they be able to move on? I reach for the dagger I keep in my dresser and look at it, I've hurt myself before, it was addicting, it made me feel better. I move the blade to my wrist and slash a vertical cut into it, good bye Magnus, bye mom, bye Izzy, I did an identical cut on the other and started to get dizzy, I had never lost this much blood before.
(Magnus's POV)
Max's death had shocked everyone, Isabelle couldn't stop balling, poor girl. Maryse had kept a straight face through out her son's funeral but I could see tears in her eyes. Robert looked indifferent, and Alec had left the funeral early. Even Jace looked close to tears, he held Clary tightly while she cried. Once everyone left, I went to look for Alec, if I'm correct all the Lightwoods should be in their manor. i knock on the door and it's Robert that answers. "Magnus Bane, what do you want?" the large man says gruffly. "I just came to check on the children, you know how funerals are on the young." I say and to my surprise he lets me in. I head up the stairs and saw Isabelle's door cracked open, with her and Clary sitting on the bed and Clary hugging Isabelle. I smile, I'm glad Isabelle has a friend to help her through this. I walk further down and spot Alec's room. I knock and frown, he always answers his door. I use my magic on the door and open it, rushing to Alec's side as he slid to the ground, his wrists were bleeding all over the place and he was extremely pale. I held him close and use magic to heal him. The cuts on his wrists heal slowly and his color is back to its normal color but while I'm analyzing his wrist I see pale old scars cut horizontally on each wrist. I looked at the bloody dagger next to him on the floor and snap it away before snapping away the bloody sheets and use my magic to get the pool of blood off the floor. By the time I'm done, he's awake.
Alec's POV
I open my eyes to find Magnus in the room with me, my wrists are completely healed and the dagger I had was gone. I look at Magnus who was frowning at me. "You tried to kill yourself." Magnus said softly. I look down waiting for him to break up with me. "Why?" Magnus asked. What can I tell him? That sometimes I feel death is easier than living? That I was born depressed and sometimes I can't help but take a knife to my skin and cut? Both sound like I'm insane and maybe I am. "I don't know why." I finally say. "While I was healing you, I saw old scars on your wrists; this isn't the first time you've hurt yourself, is it?" Magnus said looking hurt. I could feel tears well up inside me. I shake my head unable to get the words out. Magnus stood up and I know he's going to leave, but instead he pulls me up and hugs me tightly. After a couple of minutes he pulls away and looks at me. "I don't want to lose you, Alexander." He grabs my hands and pulls them up. "And I don't want you to do this anymore." he traces my old self-inflicted scars. "Come with me." he says and I can't help but quirk a brow. "We can travel the world, and maybe the traveling will get you to not think of your depression." Magnus said and I look at him with surprise. "How…?" I ask and he sighs. "I'm very old Alexander, I've seen the symptoms before. Now let's pack and leave for our travels." Magnus said with a smirk. I can't help but smile as well, not only did Magnus stay with me, but he thought of something to help me.
