AN: Thank you all for the reviews! As requested, I decided to write two more parts to this (Maybe three?). The third part will be coming later this week. Hope you guys like it!
Izzy took a deep breath and took a few minutes to cool off before trying to approach Alec again. She approached his door cautiously, "Alec?" No response. "Alec, I know your mad at me, but please open the door." Still no response. "Alec!" Izzy knew something was wrong. No matter how upset, Alec never ignored her like this. "Alec! Open the door!" She waited a moment but still didn't hear approaching footsteps. She threw her weight against the door, forcing it to open, and ran into the room. "Alec?" Izzy froze when she didn't see him, a sense of fear overcame her. A chill ran through her body as she turned to open the bathroom door. "Alec?" Her voice was barely a whisper as she slowly turned the nob. "Alec…?"
Izzy nervously pushed the door open. "Alec!" She ran to his side and began shaking him. "Alec, wake up! Please, you have to wake up!" The tears silently streamed down her cheeks. "Please Alec, I can't lose another brother. I need you!" She pulled his lifeless body to her and clung to him tightly. "This is a dream. It has to be. This can't be real!" She couldn't breathe. It was as if all the oxygen had vanished from the room. She struggled to take a deep breath, gasping desperately for air. "Alec…"
"Jace!" Clary jumped up in a panic, pulling Jace to her. "What is it? What's wrong?" Jace shook his head, unable to form the words. Never in his life did he ever think he would say them. He always imagined he would die first. He couldn't force the words off his tongue. Saying them would mean its real, but that's impossible. Because this is Alec, his brother, his parabatai. He couldn't be gone. "Alec…" He inhaled deeply. "Alec is dead." His body lost the will to sit up and he collapsed on to Clary. She wrapped her arms around him, rubbing his back soothingly. She didn't know what to say. She didn't understand how this could be possible either.
"How?" Clary questioned gently.
Jace shook his head and let out a mumbled "I don't," A sob escaped him, leaving him unable to speak. "Izzy…"
Clary pulled out her phone and called Isabelle, hoping that she didn't know. The lack of answer was enough. "Jace, we need to go to her." He nodded once in response but didn't move. Clary slowly pulled him up with her, hoping he wouldn't collapse again. "Izzy needs us right now." They made their way to the subway station, ignoring the many concerned glances they received.
