A/N: /Flashback\\
Prologue
Alec was miserable, his heart was broken.
He felt so lonely, he had no one to talk to, so alone in the world, he had the feeling that no one wanted him there, and the one man he felt he needed had to go away.
When he had a chance of getting away, he took it, Alec did everything to try to move on with his life.
Changing his name was one thing, since to him, his real name, and the man that everyone knew, was dead.
Magnus Bane took everything from him, even love, the love Alec thought he had with the other man, but it was all gone now.
Alec Lightwood is dead, and Jonathan Weight is born.
Jonathan joined the Navy, and for the first time, he learned how to fight for his life, and get some meaning injected into them, something to fill the hole in his being where his heart was broken to pieces.
Jonathan collected all his things and went away to start his new adventure with the navy, he had nothing left.
While on the plane to his first battlefield, he remembered the good times that he had with Magnus and the moment where everything ended with his family as he come out to them.
/Almost a year in their relationship, Alec was happy for the first time, Magnus did wonders to his peace of mind.
"I don't want to be your little dirty secret Alexander," Magnus told him, and broke the spell, as Alec's smile disappeared quickly, and his boyfriend added, "I want everyone to see how much I love you, as you love me."
Alec sighed heavily, he knew that his boyfriend was right, and the one year anniversary of their relationship was coming up, but he was really scared of how his family would react to his confession, and as much as he loved his family, he loved Magnus equally, and Magnus was very important to him, he just wished that he won't have to choose between either of them, or lose one of them forever.
Alec brought his boyfriend to the family dinner, and with Magnus there by his side, he came out to his family.
Alec never thought that his family will react the way they did toward him. they basically just fired him on the spot, he no longer had a position in the family, no work, nothing. Magnus on the other hand, as his father told them, will continue to work for the family, but the disgrace of a son would not.
His siblings just kept staring, not one of them would rise to support Alec.
Alec gathered anything he had left in the family home, and left with his boyfriend, with dinner ruined and forgotten.
Once they got to Magnus's loft, Alec sobbed on his boyfriend's shoulder.
He had Magnus, but nothing else, the had the money that he earned so far, but Alec was certain that his family would put a stop to any further payments and transfer the money to his siblings.
Even though he still had Magnus in his life, he had nothing else. And Alec knew that it would be difficult for him to find work, since all he knew was the family business, and all the habits and customs of the work could barely be applied elsewhere. He had to find a new purpose and meaning to his life, to find what he wanted to do with the rest of it.\\
Life taught him that anything that happened in his life had consequence, but he didn't expect such dire ones to happen to him.
Alec Lightwood was dead to the world, he no longer kept his old social life online, he even had his ID changed, it was better this way, after all, he had no one.
Nothing to lose, if he will fall on the battlefield, no one will be expecting him back anyhow, not even the place that he once called home.
