DAY 5

"Take a seat Mr Wayland" The doctor, Brain Anderson pointed at the chair infront of him. Jace straightened his coat "Please no formalities. You can call me Jace and she is Izzy"

The doctor nodded "Very well Jace...Izzy. I have called you to give an update on your brother's condition" getting nods from the siblings, the doctor continued "Alec Lightwood was brought in with severe dehydration, a broken wrist, three broken ribs which resulted in internal bleeding and a bullet to his chest for which he suffered huge amount of blood loss. He also had some minor cuts and bruises on his body which is not an issue right now"

Jace paled when he heard the list of injuries his brother had obtained. He didn't even want to think what Alec must have gone through these last two days. It still bothered him that he couldn't bring the back up soon.

Izzy gripped the chair tightly she was sitting on feeling so much rage inside her. She wanted to kill the man who hurt her brother. Her eyes shone with tears and Jace placed his hand on Izzy's and squeezed a little

"Should I continue?" asked Anderson. Both the siblings again nodded "During the operation we able to take the bullet out but Alec did flatline once on the table"

Izzy gasped and Jace's eyes widened "What!?"

"We were able to retrieve him back quickly but he slipped into coma. His internal bleeding has been stopped and ribs are bandaged. Though his wrist had to be operated, it should heal in few weeks. We are giving him high fluids for dehydration he has suffered"

"When will he wake up?" asked Izzy in small voice. Jace too looked at the doctor with hope in his eyes. The doctor pursed his lips "He is stable right now but I can't say for sure. He might wake up now as we speak or it may take weeks, months or...I won't give you false hope but there is a chance your brother might not wake up at all"

Izzy sobbed and ran out of the room. She couldn't believe what the doctor just said. Alec might never wake up. She ran hard towards the room where Alec was shifted after the surgery. Her hand went to the small round glass where she could see her brother sleeping so peacefully. She cried harder "Alec!"

"Jace don't loose hope so easily. You never know when miracles come your way. Please be strong"

Jace sniffed wiping a lone tear from his face "What about Magnus? How is he?"

"Mr Bane is better now. We have shifted him in special room as per your request. I was told about his case and how he is in witness protection so I haven't let anybody in the room except one nurse and myself"

Jace nodded "What had happened to him? Why did he faint?" Anderson held out Magnus's report to Jace "He was also suffering from dehydration, a head injury and couple of bruises. He fainted because his body was exhausted and I think he couldn't handle shock of Alec being in coma. I suppose they are together?" he asked softly

"I don't know... but Magnus does care for Alec" Jace didn't know what else to say as he too wasn't sure what was going on between Magnus and his brother "Doctor is he well enough to testify. It's really important that he goes in today's hearing at the court"

The doctor gave a small smile "Yes he can go since it's an important case but Mr Bane still needs rest. I suggest you bring him back after the hearing. I want to keep him under observation for atleast seventy two hours"

Jace got up and shook hands with Anderson "I will bring him back. Thank you. Can I see him?" The doctor then took Jace to Magnus's room which was on the third floor with two officers guarding at the front entrance and another two at Magnus's room

On nearing the room Jace heard a commotion. It seemed Magnus was screaming from inside and one of the officer was trying to talk to him through the closed door "Sir please calm down...you are suppose to rest"

"I will get your ass fired if you don't open this door right now! I mean it! Open the damn door!" Magnus yelled at the other end and banged on the door

"What's going on in here?" Jace asked as he reached Magnus's room. The officer spoke in shaky voice "I ...I am sorry Sir but he is demanding to get out of the room and we have strict orders not to leave him alone"

Jace sighed "Open the door. I will talk to him. Magnus! Step back...it's Jace! I am coming in"

"Okay"

When Jace entered the room he saw Magnus was pacing around. He head was bandaged and had stitches on his cheek "Magnus what's wrong? Why do you want to get out of this room so badly?"

Magnus ran to Jace and took hold of his shoulders "How is Alexander? Did he wake up? No one is answering me...please tell me how is he doing?" he pleaded to the young agent

Jace was taken aback with the concern Magnus was showing towards his brother. What the hell was going on between them. Yeah so Alec saved his life so it's obvious Magnus should be concerned but that was not the only emotion he saw in him. This was something else. This was much more than worry. Suddenly a realization hit Jace and his eyes widened "You...like Alec?"

Magnus bit his quivering lips and nodded "I do. The feeling is more than like... I don't know right now but I want to give it a try...that is if Alec's willing to" Jace was little shocked on hearing the confession. He instantly went on protective mode "Look if you are trying to play with his feelings then.."

Magnus rolled his eyes "I care about Alexander and have no intention on hurting him. I really want to see if this goes anywhere. Now please tell me did he wake up?" Jace sighed "No"

Magnus's face fell "What are the doctor's saying? When will he wake up?" Jace didn't know how to break this news to Magnus. What if after hearing about Alec's condition he might not want to date him. What if he gives up on him "They don't know for sure. Maybe now or...never"

Magnus clutched his bed to steady himself. The news felt like someone had dumped cold water on him. Never...Alec could never wake up. His eyes shifted from one side to another and became glazed with glassy layers of tears. As he blinked they dripped from his eyelids and slid down his cheeks "No"

Jace held a comforting hand on Magnus's shoulder "Magnus I can understand if you...you don't want to wait for Alec" Magnus gaped at the young boy "What kind of person do you think I am? I I will wait for Alexander and he will wake up soon even if I have wait till the end of my life"

Jace was lost for words. Never in his life he had ever seen anybody care for Alec the way Magnus did. A part of him was doubled in happiness that finally his brother had someone who cared and maybe loved him dearly. He prayed Alec would wake up soon and get the love he deserves "Thank you"

"Can I see him please?"

Jace shook his head "Magnus your hearing will start in an hour. We have to leave" Magnus was about to argue when Jace continued "but I promise to bring you back as soon as you testify. I promise. Izzy is staying here with Alec. He will be fine"

Magnus ran his hands on his face. Damn he knew Jace was right. This was all Alec's hardwork and he will not let it go wasted "Okay. Let's get over with this"

Jace smiled as they were escorted by four officers and led outside the hospital. Magnus had only one thing on mind 'I am back to you Alexander"

Izzy slowly turned the knob and walked in the room. She saw Alec was on the bed looking completely still and unresponsive. His wrist was plastered, bandages covered his mid sect coming ion and upper chest where he took the bullet and face was still swollen with cuts on his lips. A thin tube was fitted on his nose to help him breathe. Izzy came and took hold of Alec's good hand

"Hi Alec. I know you can hear me. I just wanted to tell you that you are amazing big brother and it pains to see you like this...I can't loose you Alec...I can't go through the pain again...after mom and dad left us...you have taken their place...I don't want to loose my parents twice...please big brother...please come back to me...please" Izzy sobbed hugging Alec's limp hand to her chest. Her heart praying to God over and over again asking him to give his brother back to her

Magnus recognized and testified against the killer in the court. To his satisfaction the judge annouced a life in imprisonment for the killer. Jace hugged and thanked Magnus for his work. The only response the older man gave was "I want to see Alexander"

Luke entered into Alec's room. His eyes fell on the boy who laid lifeless on the bed. His eyes wet with tears. Alec was like a son to him even when Robert and Maryse were alive. He didn't have any kids so Alec was always his favourite. He came close and ran a hand on Alec's forehead "Hello Alec. I have good news for you. Dieago is send for life in imprisonment. You did it son. You won. Robert would have been very proud of you and so am I. You know I can't handle Jace and Izzy okay...it's your job so come back and take your responsibility" he joked hoping Alec would hear him and wake up "Come back son"

Jace walked in the room and closed the door. He went straight near Alec's bed and raised his voice "I can't do this Alec! I am not going to do this! You are the big brother of this family and you have to take care of us! When mom and dad died...I thought everything was over but you kept us going...you gave your shoulder to cry on and warmth of a parent that every child needs...please don't be like this Alec...come back bro...we all need you...please come back" he cried harder placing his hand on Alec's shoulder

Magnus slowly pushed the door open and entered the room with heavy heart. He was trying very hard not to cry but one look at the boy in the bed started the waterworks flowing "Hi Alexander...it's me Magnus...you know me right?" he lets out a watery laugh "I did what you told Alexander. I made it to the court and testified. All thanks to you darling. You saved my life but... what's the point when I can't share it with you. No one has ever made me feel the way you do Alexander. You are the most bravest person I have known. These four days with you are the most precious in my life and I want to make many more happy moments with you. I want to be with you. Please Alexander...come back to me..Please"

A loud beeping sound made Magnus look up to the boy in bed. He saw Alec was twitching in his sleep, fingers moving slowly. Magnus quickly held Alec's hand amd squeezed a little "Alexander can you hear me? Alexander?" he spoke a little louder and Alec's face scrunched in pain

The young agent slowly blinked his eyes open "You are...seriously weird...don't know...not to talk loudly...when a guy is shot" his voice rasp and heavy. Magnus's eyes filled with happy tears "Not weird darling...limited edition"

One more to go! Please leave a review :-)))
