Pain Fades but Scars Don't

Chapter 10

In The End it's All Okay

Alec watched as you stared at him, eyes vacant, but yet still so full of pain. You didn't respond. You slowly lowered yourself down into your bed cuddling up with the

sheets and falling asleep. It was such a slow motion it almost seemed to pain you to do something so simple. As if you were so exhausted by the life you lived that you

couldn't do the most simple of things. It broke Alec to see you like this, a once so vibrant and fun person, his favorite person to be around. The one he went to about

everything, laying here in a hospital because life just became too hard. And he hadn't been there to help you. One thing he was sure of, he was going to be there no

matter what.

The group looked at you as you slept. All of them becoming increasingly worried by your response to Alec. They thought you would argue a little, put up some sort of

fight, but no…you went to bed. Not a word said. Once they were sure you were asleep and nothing dangerous was left in the room with you they headed out to talk.

"What do we do?" Clary was the one to ask. No one knew what to say until Magnus spoke.

"I've been through rough times similar to Y/N's. I'll see if I can talk to her. Try to get her to open up and let us in. The sooner she does that the sooner she'll be able to

recover. When I went through this I had to be watched constantly. She'll be looking for any chance to finish what she started, she might be sedated now but when she

gets desperate enough she'll fight to end it. Everyone breaks at a different point, but when she does you can't yell at her. She's fragile and she'll need our support.

That's the best advice I can offer." Magnus stared at the floor as he explained. Alec felt his heart clench never wanting to picture Magnus in anything near the same

state.

"You went through this too?" Magnus glanced up only for a second. He seemed to be struggling for words, just as you had only moments before. Alec could see the

similarities between you and his boyfriend.

"Yes, I understand Y/N far better than I ever wished to." With that he walked away. "I'll be back when she wakes up to talk to her."

"Where are you going?" Alec asked trying to keep the panic out of his voice as Magnus began to get farther away.

"I need time to think." It was the last thing he said before disappearing down the hallway.

Everyone watched him leave. No one really knew what to say. It had already been decided that the others wouldn't speak to you until he had. "How are we going to help

her?" Izzy spoke up seeming to be in her own world. Frowning at how different their lives had become in the past twenty four hours.

"I don't know." Alec spoke before following Magnus down the hallway.

Authors note: I am so so sorry for such a late chapter! I just go through these really weird stages where I don't want to write or I can't find the time, or I just really don't know how to continue. Really sorry either way, work got cancelled today though so of course I'm writing! If anyone has any requests or ideas I am open to all suggestions and I can't wait to see you all again soon.

P. S. Does anyone know what that actually means? Here are my tips for what to do when you're upset, feeling hopeless, or depressed, or even anxious (all things I deal with). Listen to happy songs that make you feel something, personally I suggest Taylor Swift or Sia (they both have a lot of upbeat songs), read random fun facts (not only is it entertaining but it also makes you feel more intelligent which will make you feel much less useless), and finally read, write, color, or draw (these help to be a creative release and is just in fact fun and relaxing). Hope you all have a great Wednesday! Until the next time.
