Alec was lying on his bed in his room, his blue eyes staring lifelessly at the ceiling, when he heard a knock on his door. "Come in…" He muttered loud enough to be heard, not in the mood to argue.

The door opened and his father peeked inside "Alexander. I want to talk to you. Come to the library."

Alec raised his head slowly and looked at him. "Okay father…" He only muttered, and Robert nodded satisfied and left. Alec sighed and got up slowly, not bothering to brush his hair or change his clothes, not in the mood to do either.

"I'm here… What did you want to tell me?" He asked three minutes later, entering the library, anxious for this to be over so he could go to his room again and be alone. He didn't want to see anyone. Anyone but him…

"I understand that you… came to your senses and decided to end that charade…" Robert said, seeming to search for the 'right' words.

Alec looked at him blinking, not understanding. "Wha…t?"

"I heard you broke up with the Warlock. I am happy you finally realized that this lowly creature was no good for someone who has the blood of the Angel like you." His father said, an arrogant tone lacing his voice.

"What?" Alec repeated but Robert went on as if he hadn't heard him.

"I am very proud you finally told him to leave you alone before he taints you. Now, all we have to do, is forget this whole thing ever happened and find you a good girl…"

"What?"

"I said…"

"I heard you." Alec said, anger flaring in him. "I lost the love of my life, and you call me here to tell me I did good leaving him? And that he, didn't deserve, me? Well news flash dad! He was the one who left me because I didn't or could ever deserve him! I was the tainted one, not him!" He could feel tears burning behind his eyes so he quickly turned his back on him, rushing to the door.

"Alexander! Get back here!" Robert shouted, but Alec just ignored him, storming away.

Once leaving the room someone grabbed his arm stopping him. He jolted and came face to face with Jace. "Alec! What's wrong?" His parabatai asked seeing the look on his face. Alec glanced behind him for a second, before shaking Jace's hand off.

"Nothing." He said walking away. "I just want to be alone."

"Alec!" He heard Jace calling his name, but he didn't follow him, respecting his wish. Instead a moment later he heard the door of the library banging and muffled shouting resonating behind it.

…

Magnus was returning home lost in thought, his head bowed, when a voice he knew too well pulled him out of his reverie.

"C'mon Izzy…"

'Alexander…' Magnus jolted looking up to see Alec talking on the phone, pacing, looking lost, his back on him. He wasn't one for eavesdropping, but this was Alec, and Magnus found himself wondering what he was doing there all alone so late. Was he okay?

"Let it go sis…" Alec whispered in a broken whisper, defeated. Isabelle's answer was loud enough to hear, as Alec held his phone a little distance away from his ear, sighing.

"Alec… life isn't over! You will find someone else. Someone better."

Magnus' heart broke hearing her words, knowing they were true. Alec should go on. Find a good Shadowhunter boy and forget all about him. He found himself holding his breath, waiting to hear Alec's answer.

The young Nephilim laughed mirthlessly. "Better… Right… Izzy please. There is no one better than him. Just drop it. I told you. There won't be anyone else. It's over for me. I will just do whatever they want. I don't care…"

"Alec!"

"It doesn't matter Izzy… Not anymore… What's the point?"

Magnus was staring at the boy's back not believing what he had just heard. 'How can you say that?'

Izzy said something more Magnus couldn't hear, but Alec brushed it off. "I will be back later. Don't worry about me." He only said and hanged up, raising his eyes from the ground to see where his feet took him while he wasn't paying attention. Sure enough, he was standing outside Magnus' apartment. He hastily put the phone on his pocket and turned on the spot, wanting nothing more than to run away, from everything and everyone. He only took one step before bumping on someone, losing his balance on the slippery ground, and a slender but strong arm gripped his hand keeping him from falling down.

"I'm sorry, thank y-" The words died on his mouth as he looked up, his blue eyes widening, when they met with emerald-gold cat-eyes.

'What have I done to you my angel…?' Magnus thought shocked but managed to regain his composure before speaking.

"Alexander." The Warlock said letting go of his hand and looking at him skeptically. "Did you want to tell me something?"

'Yes… I love you… Please forgive me… I need you… Please, I wanna return home… Please…' "I… yes… no." He lied. "No. I… didn't… I don't know how I got here… I wasn't paying attention."

"Are you okay?" He uttered the words before he could stop himself and Alec looked up at him surprised, his blue eyes wide.

"What?" He asked for the fourth time this evening. "Why do you care? I… Oh. I get it." He muttered thinking Magnus just felt guilty or responsible for his ragged state.

Now it was Magnus' turn to stare at him. "You do?"

Alec dropped his eyes on the floor. "Of course… But you don't have to…"

"Excuse me?"

Instead of answering, Alec just shook his head. "I'm sorry. You told me you never wanted to see me again. I didn't mean to appear before you, let alone so soon."

"Soon?" Magnus muttered. 'It felt like years…'

"It's only been two weeks."

'And 2 days and 5 hours…' They both thought simultaneously.

"Alexander…" Magnus said and Alec stared at him lost for a moment.

"I'm sorry I have to go…" 'At least apologise properly!' A voice in his head commanded, but when he looked in Magnus' eyes his resolve faltered and he knew he won't be able to do it. 'I can't take it if he sends me away again…' He thought and casting him once last look, ran away from him.

…

It had been hours since Alec ran away from the institute. Jace was still awake, waiting for him to return home, when he felt a sharp pain on his parabatai rune, that brought him on his knees. The pain was gone instantly after that, but now a deep fear grew in its stead. "Alec…" He whispered and run toward the exit panicked, only to crash on Robert.

He stared at him for a moment, and then lashed out, screaming at him. "EVERYTHING IS YOUR FAULT! If ANYTHING happened to him…"

Suddenly Izzy, appeared out of nowhere and grabbed his arm, cutting him off, making him look at her surprised. "Izzy…"

"Let it go…" She told him, looking deathly pale. "He's not worth it. What happened with Alec? Is he okay?"

"I… I don't know…" Jace sounded unsure making Izzy more worried since he was very rarely like that.

"We have to find him…" She said urgently and he nodded.

"We can track him. I know how."

Just as they were about to go upstairs to find something of Alec's to cast the spell, the heavy door opened, and said boy stumbled inside, dripping blood, his clothes torn.

"ALEC!" Both Izzy and Jace screamed upon seeing him and ran to him.

"I'm fine…" he muttered "You should have seen the other guy…" He laughed half-heartedly before collapsing on Izzy's arms unconscious.

I'm really sorry! (#NotSorryAtAll xD)
More tomorrow or in less than 14-16 hours!
