I'm so sorry for the wait and the short chapter guys. I've lacked any writing motivation, so this was just sort of a quick thing.

I promise that I will be better after now. This only has maybe 5 chapters left, and I will hopefully finish before the end of Jan.

The reviews were amazing. Heartbroken, but wonderous.

I own nothing.

A high pitched ring woke Magnus from and alcohol induced black out, the sound like a jack hammer to his hungover head. He stood on shaky legs from his sprawled position on the floor, a painful throbbing shooting through his skull. He guessed it might have been Tuesday or maybe Wednesday. He didn't really give a shit. He had lost the best thing in his life and was completely ready to die of alcohol poisoning, it was only a matter of time.

He picked up his phone blinking the blur from his eyes to read the name on the screen.

Isabelle.

Magnus laughed humourlessly to himself. He knew it was only a matter of time before he got angry calls from the siblings. He prepared himself for a screeching and pressed answer.

"Hey Magnus!"

Well, that was awfully cheerful. Maybe she was attempting to lull him into a false sense of security.

"Um, hello Isabelle. May I ask what this is regarding?"

"Yeah, actually, I was wondering if I could talk to Alec."

"Why would he be here?"

"Uh, because he lives there? God, how much did you drink last night?"

Magnus' eyes widened and his hangover took a sudden backseat to his fear. Alec hadn't gone back to his family? If he hadn't been with them, then where had he gone? He hadn't even contacted them… shit. This was bad. This was really bad! Magnus dropped the phone from his hand and ran from the apartment, grabbing a coat on his way.

He had to fix this somehow.

It was cold. That was all Alec could notice, and all he wanted to. He didn't even know exactly where he was at this stage. His phone had been ringing off the hook for a few days, but had eventually died. He had been glad when he could simply wander in peace. A small part of him begged him to go to his family, but he couldn't once bring himself to listen.

What was the point of anything anymore?

He found an area relatively sheltered from the cold wind and settled down in the snow, willing himself to sleep. It was beginning to go dark, and he needed to settle down now if he wanted to sleep at all that night.

He pulled out his dead phone and stared at it for a moment, wondering who had been attempting to contact him. Certainly not Magnus…maybe Rick, questioning why he hadn't been at training. But the team was fine. They'd be okay without him. They could let that new kid back if he wasn't there. Or it could have been one of his siblings. He felt a pang of guilt, but he couldn't stand to go back and face his parents. To face his mother, even if she didn't say anything, she'd have that I told you so look. He couldn't deal with that.

Maybe in a few days.

He closed his eyes, the cold settling in. His hands were numb. He barely felt the cold in the lower half of his body. He wondered if he could get a longer sleep today.

"I don't know what to do! He's not with the Lightwoods, he's not with any of him teammates, and I even called the hospital he was at when he was in the coma!"

Magnus dejectedly plonked himself down on his couch in an attempt to stop his pacing, burying his face in his hands. Ragnor placed a thin hand on his shoulder, rubbing softly, as Camille called anyone she could think of that might have seen his boyf- his ex-boyfriend. Shit. His eyes re-brimmed with tears, his cheeks already streaked with makeup.

"What if he's dead? What if he's lost? What, what the fuck do I do?"

Fuck. Shit. He was going to start crying again. Or at least hyperventilate. His breathing was already far too loud and fast. He stood back up, returning to his pacing. He wrung his hands, his palms sweaty in fear and nerves. He longed to go back out and look, but New York was huge. His first search had lasted hours and been completely fruitless.

Camille entered the room, a sad look on her face. Magnus turned away from his friend. He couldn't stand bad news at the moment.

"No one's seen him. I called the police too, but since he's a legal consenting adult no longer in his parents care… well, there are no laws against going on a vacation without telling anyone." Cam walked over to him and placed a soft hand on his shoulder. "Maybe that's all that happened. Like, he just needed to get away from the city. Took his credit card and got a flight to Hawaii or something."

Magnus shook his head. "No. Not without telling his brother and sister." He took up the pacing once again. "Look. I know something's wrong. We should just go looking."

Cam shook her head firmly. "Look baby, I want to find Allie, I do, but walking around wildly ain't gonna do nothing."

Magnus nodded sadly. "Okay. Could, could you guys go? I need some alone time."

His friends smiled and kissed him, before leaving the apartment. Magnus watched on, waving slightly, and looked out the window as they left. Once they were out of sight he grabbed his coat and headed back out. He didn't care if it was hopeless. He had to find Alec. No matter what.

I know it's insanely short. And I am sorry.

I will update quickly. Hopefully.

Please review.

Lots of Love,

Mae
