I've been sick. At the drs a lot. I'm sorry.
Song for the day: "Radioactive" by Imagine Dragons
Isabelle huffed, and paced around her room. "Where is he?" she growled, fussing with her red pendant necklace. She looked beautiful, as Isabelle always did, with a rainbow sequin dress and strappy silver sandals, her long black hair swirled up and pinned to the top of her head. Small silky curls fell down onto her back, and they flounced every time she moved.
"Izzy, calm down," Alec sighed. He had spent the morning worrying about Magnus, and Isabelle had finally proclaimed her annoyance at his demeanor and dragged him along on a shopping spree (she was going on a date with her dorky boyfriend later, and she "needed" a new dress.) Although he appreciated his sister's efforts, with the glitter and rainbows everywhere, he wound up only missing Magnus more. "Give the guy a break. He isn't really that late."
"It's six thirty-four!"
"Your date is at six thirty."
"And it's six thirty-four!"
Alec rubbed his temples on impulse. Isabelle snatched his hand away, and pushed up his sleeves. Alec grabbed his hand back, but Isabelle held them tight.
"Oh my god, Alec…" she whispered, her voice serious. "Alec, not again. You can't…you can't be doing this again. Are you going…you aren't…"
"No, no, Izzy, it's not like that. I won't—"
"Do you have any idea what that did to me? Getting the call from the hospital? Thinking you were dead? Thinking that I had lost not only Max, but you as well?" Isabelle's voice was rising.
"Izzy, I'm not going to kill myself."
"You have to tell mom you're cutting again."
"No." Alec's voice hardened. "No, Isabelle, no."
"I won't tell her, but I want you to."
Alec said nothing. The doorbell rang, and Isabelle gave Alec one last dubious glance, before going to let her boyfriend in. Alec knew that Isabelle would hunt him down that night, and his heart hurt. He didn't want to cause her any more pain; she was still mourning Max. Alec heard Simon's voice in the hall, and sighed. He wanted a boyfriend, too. He wanted Magnus.
Back in his room, Alec studied his arm. The cuts weren't that deep. They were ugly, and there were a lot of them, but they wouldn't scar.
Alec's phone buzzed, and his heart jumped.
so…bad news. i may have caused permanent damage to my heart. and i prob won't b able 2 go home…for a bit. can u call me? i'm freaking out.
Alec dialed Magnus's number.
Please R&R!
