" When you cried

I'd wipe away all of your tears

When you screamed

I'd fight away all of your fears

And I held your hand

Through all of these years

And you still have all of me"

People say there are five stages of grief. Each time when someone experiences a certain type of grief, supposedly they go through these stages. For some it happens all at once, but for others it takes awhile for each stage to completely hit the grieving party.

For Magnus Bane, High Warlock of Brooklyn, the only stage he was allowing himself to experience was denial. He refused to believe his blue eyes wasn't coming back to him. He was, now more determined than ever, to bring Alec home to him.

" We need to get him….he can't be there alone….what if he wakes up and I'm not there….he can't wake up alone….I wont allow it!"

Tess knelt down in front of her friend and tried to provide some type of comfort.

" Magnus….I swear to you Alec WILL NOT wake up alone and we WILL bring him home, but since no one really knows where he if, we have to find him first. Now I want you to think hard….do you have anything of his that I can use to track him?"

Thinking about it a few minutes, the warlock started stammering.

" No….no…..no….he took everything with him when….when I broke up with him."

" I never should have ended things….this is all my fault. I just wanted to spend the rest of my life with the man I love. I didn't care if he was going to grow old. Maybe if I told him that more often than none of this would have happened. He never would have went to Camille and he never would have went to Maureen in

the first place. You were right Tessa…you were right about everything….this is all my fault."

Clary walked over to the sobbing warlock and pulled him into her arms.

" None of this is your fault. Alec would have went to her anyway because she was threatening your life. He would have made sure nothing happened to him."

" I'm sorry to say this, but it is your fault."

Everyone in the room turned around and just stared in shock at what Jace just said.

" I mean if you were more open and honest with him about your past than none of this would have happened. Alec gave up everything to be with you, he sacrificed so much for you. He would have moved heaven and hell if it meant keeping you safe and unharmed. The only thing he asked for in return is to know about you…the real you, not the High Warlock of Brooklyn.

You claim Alec didn't trust you, but the fact of the matter is you never really gave him any reason too. You were always so secretive about everything that had to do with your life and that hurt Alec a lot! Magnus I really hate to say this and again I'm really sorry, but you practically pushed Alec to Camille."

-After Jace was done talking, the room was so silent you could probably hear Uptown Manhattan's traffic and that's 5 subway stops away. No one really knew how to respond to that. Izzy and Clary wanted to deck the teen for even opening his mouth, while Simon and Tessa wanted nothing more than to shield Magnus away from all the horrors of the world.

Instead it was Magnus to opened his mouth first, but with a soft whisper that when heard the teens had to strain to hear him.

" Don't you think I don't know that? Every single day, since we broke up all that you said plagued my mind. There wasn't a day that went by that I didn't come up with different scenarios to fix the problems Alec and I had. The choice of ending things with him was by far the hardest decision I ever had to make and believe me even to this day, that decision still hurts like hell, because that led me away from my angel."

" Jace…I know what you see, when you look at me. You see what everyone else sees…a person who's looking for his next conquest by throwing parties and dressing up with glitter and make-up and when he's done, he'll just throw away his "toy" just to find a new one and if we met five years ago that would have been true, but it isn't now.

I have been around for a very long time and yes I have experienced lust and effectuations with many people, but I have only experienced real, can't live without love with one person and that's Alec. The love I have for your brother consumes my every thought, my every desire, my every soul and I would cross the ends of the Earth just to show him how much he means to me.

If a person, right now, walked through that door and told me the only way to bring Alec back to me was to give up my immortality I would do it without a second thought, because this life, the one I'm living in right now, means nothing to me if I can't wake up every morning and go to sleep every night without Alec by my side."

-When Magnus was finished, there wasn't a dry eye in the entire apartment. Everyone was so moved and so touched by the warlocks words, all they could do was cry. Well all except one.

" If I hear one more sob story I'll upchuck all over this carpet."

Turning around they came face to face with Meliorn, who was placing an unconscious Alec, down on the soft carpet.

Running over, Magnus threw himself down onto the floor and laid the shadow hunters head onto his lap.

" Everything's alight darling. You're home now. You're safe."

Brushing his hair, away from his face, Magnus then looked up and raised an eyebrow at the faerie.

" How did you know where he was?"

" The queen asked me if I would pay Maureen a visit, so while I was there I happened to notice something going down between him and the little princess, so I decided to stick around, and when I saw him fall…I was nice enough to bring him home to you."

Lifting the teen in his arms, Magnus bowed his head and gave the faerie a soft smile.

" Thank you."

Returning the bow, Meliorn, glanced at the falling shadow hunter.

" I will have the queen stop by for a visit, maybe she can bring him back to you."

Bowing once again, the faerie disappeared leaving everyone with one single thought….will Alec be ok.

AN: I know this is a short one and by the looks of it, the next chapter is probably going to be short too, but I promise a long one is coming.

I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend.
