Third Person POV:

The week following Alec's release from the hospital was.. eventful. Alec was allowed to go home a day after he woke up. His parents babied him until he gave them an order to leave him alone. He felt bad after that, so he apologized and said that he just wanted his space for a while. They didn't question him, so he was happy about that. He went back to school two days after he was sent home. He didn't want to miss much school because he hated falling behind on classes. And he hadn't talked to Magnus a whole lot after the whole hospital hand holding thing. It was like he was avoiding him.

Alec ran a hand through his hair. He sat at the little desk in the corner of his room working on homework that he had missed during the week he missed of school. The words kept blurring together. They seemed to be little jumbles of gibberish now. He couldn't concentrate on anything.

With a groan he got up from the chair he was sat in and started to pace around his room. He was wondering why Magnus was avoiding him. He couldn't get the glittery boy out of his head. It was ridiculous how much time he spent thinking about the boy he had just met a few weeks ago. He just couldn't get the image of him out of his head. His clothes, his skinny form, his spiky hair, his glittering makeup. It was all ingrained in his head.

He sighed loudly. Why couldn't his brain just function properly? He didn't want to think like this. His mind being occupied with the images of another boy that he barely knows. He sighed again and flopped down onto his bed. He closed his eyes. And there it was. The image of Magnus. He was always there.

He was startled when he heard a loud knock at his bedroom door.

"Alec? There's someone here to see you" Isabelle called out.

He sighed and got up from his bed. He walked over to the door and opened it. Isabelle stood there with a mischievous smile on her face. Alec wanted to groan or go hide somewhere. When Isabelle usually had that smile on her face, it meant that she was up to no good.

"Who is it?" He asked.

"Oh, just some really sparkly guy that just screams out 'flamer'" She smirked.

"Wh-what?" Alec stuttered.

Isabelle smiled even wider. "You like him don't you?"

Alec rolled his eyes. "Of course I like him, hes my friend."

"No. I meant that you Like him like him. You know as in a boyfriend" She giggled.

"What! I do not! And I'm not.. y'know.." He trailed off.

"Uh huh. Keep telling that to yourself. I bet that in a few weeks, you'll be coming to me and asking how to kiss" She laughed.

Alec blushed a vibrant red, and pushed passed his little sister. He walked down the stairs with her rambling on about how cute it would be if they got together. And of course, he just kept his head down and denied that he wasn't interested in Magnus. Magnus was his friend, and only his friend.

When they got down to the living room, Magnus was sitting on the couch and looking very uncomfortable as Alec's parents asked him a bunch of questions. He walked in a little more and cleared his throat to get their attention.

"Hey Magnus. Mom, dad, were you embarrassing him?" He asked.

"Of course not, darling. We were simply asking him what he plans on doing after high school" Maryse said lightly.

Alec didn't look convinced. But he shrugged it off anyway. He motioned for Magnus to follow him, so Magnus got up from the couch he had been sitting on and followed Alec to the kitchen.

Alec turned to Magnus. "Have you eaten today?"

Magnus hesitated. Should he tell Alec? Or should he just say that he had already ate before leaving his house.

"And bother lying to me, Magnus" Alec added quickly.

He sighed softly. "No. I didn't."

Alec's expression then softened. "Then you're eating. What would you like?"

"I don't want anything, Alec.." Magnus said quietly.

"Magnus... Please.." Alec pleaded.

Magnus didn't know what was about the expression that Alec had on his face, but it was adorable. He just felt like breaking down and saying yes to something to eat. But he couldn't. He couldn't eat anything. He told himself that he couldn't eat at all today, because he had broken down an ate last night.

"Alec, I'm fine... seriously" Magnus sighed.

"Just eat a piece of toast? Just one?" Alec bargained.

"Fine" Magnus sighed heavily.

"Thank you! Now what do you like on toast?" Alec asked.

"Just butter" Magnus replied.

"How about peanut butter?" Alec said with a smile.

"Fine" Magnus repeated.

Alec smiled his cute dimpled smile and placed a piece of toast in the toaster. They waited for the toaster to pop. Magnus kept thinking how bad he was going to feel after this. How fat he was going to feel. How disgusted of himself. And how much of a failure he was.

The toaster popped and Magnus flinched visibly. He heard Alec walk around the kitchen, trying to find peanut butter and a knife. Within seconds there was a piece of toast handed to him. He looked at it, like it was going to kill him or something.

He sighed, for what seemed like the hundredth time since he got to Alec's place and took the toast from Alec's hand. He looked up and saw that Alec was looking at him expectantly. He cringed and brought the toast up to his mouth. He took a bite of the foul food and chewed slowly. He swallowed and saw that Alec had a slight smile on his face.

"Now was that so bad?" Alec asked.

"Yes" Magnus replied.

Alec's smile turned into a frown instantly. "I'm sorry."

"Don't be. You were only trying to help" Magnus said.

Alec rubbed the back of his neck. Magnus looked like he was in pain from eating a simple piece of toast. He suddenly felt bad that he made his friend eat. But he needed help. And who else was going to help him, if it wasn't going to be him?

"Um, do you wanna go up to my room?" Alec said with a red face.

Magnus had to resist the urge to giggle at Alec's face. "Sure."

Alec walked out of the kitchen, with Magnus trailing behind him. He still had the toast in his hand, he didnt really want to eat the rest of it. But he would feel bad if he wasted Alec's food. They walked up the stairs and kept walking until Alec came to a stop in front of a door on the very end of a hallway.

Alec cleared his throat. "Um, yeah, this is my room."

Alec opened the door, and Magnus peered inside. It was so Alec. It was simply white and dark blue. It suited Alec, Magnus found. Alec stepped inside his room, and Magnus followed. Alec closed the door and stood in the middle of his room, looking uncomfortable.

"Is this weird for you?" Magnus asked.

"Just a little. I never had anyone in my room before" Alec confessed.

Magnus couldn't help the small giggle that left his lips. Alec was just acting a little adorable. He was feeling uncomfortable because he never had anyone in his room before.

"Don't worry. I'm not going to do anything, or mess up your stuff. Here, Ill just sit on this chair" Magnus replied, and sat down on the chair that was beside him.

Alec smiled. He walked over to his bed and flopped down onto it. He stared at Magnus with his large blue eyes.

"What?" Magnus asked, feeling self conscious.

"Nothing. I'm just thinking how you could think your overweight" Alec said, honestly.

Magnus shrugged. "I dunno. I just think I am."

"Don't think that. You're way too skinny" Alec replied with a blush.

They sat in silence for a few awkward moments. Then Alec cleared his throat again.

"So, what brought you over here today anyway?" He asked.

"My parents have been fighting. I got tired of it so I left" Magnus said.

"Oh. I'm sorry" Alec said softly.

"Don't be. Its probably nothing anyway" Magnus shrugged.

Alec patted the space beside him on the bed. Magnus raised an eyebrow at him. Alec nodded, and Magnus got up from the chair he was sitting on and sat next to Alec on the bed. He kept his distance from Alec. Just in case he felt uncomfortable.

"Are you okay with this?" Magnus asked.

"Yeah" Alec smiled.

They sat in silence for a few minutes. It wasn't uncomfortable, it was actually pretty nice. Just sitting there, without having to fill the silent void with conversation. Alec liked this. It was nice. He didn't have much peace with Isabelle around. She was always trying to start a conversation with him. Sometimes he just wanted to be left alone.

"How's your wrist doing?" Magnus asked.

"Its getting better, but I have to leave the bandages on for another week" Alec sighed.

"Oh. That must be horrible" Magnus commented.

Alec shrugged. "Not really. Most days I forget its there until it starts to itch."

"Oh" Was all Magnus said.

Alec got up from the bed and went over to his stereo. "Wanna listen to some music?"

"Sure. What do you have?" Magnus asked.

"Um, I have The Band Perry, Faber Drive, Linkin Park, Metallica, Aerosmith, and a few others. What do you feel like listening to?" Alec said.

"Uh.. how about The Band Perry" Magnus suggested.

"Okay" Alec replied and popped the Cd in.

They sat in silence for a few minutes again, until Magnus spoke up. "Don't you think it seems fair?"

"Huh?" Alec said.

"I mean, it seems fair don't you think? If you die young. I wouldn't mind it. My casket would be lined with roses, and I wouldn't mind if there was a love song played at my funeral either" Magnus rambled.

Alec took in a sharp breath. How could his friend be saying these kinds of things? It was terrible. He scooted closer to Magnus and wrapped his arms around his friend. He felt Magnus stiffen for a moment and then relaxed.

"How could you say that?" Alec whispered.

"I dunno. I just think dying young would be so much more preferable than dying when you're old. You would still look pretty. Whereas if you die old, you'll be all wrinkly" Magnus explained.

Alec untangled his arms from Magnus and leaned back on his pillows. He looked at Magnus. He looked like he was skinnier than the last time he saw him. Alec thought that Magnus really needed help, before it was really too late. And he didn't want to see his friend put in a hospital because he lost himself.

"Magnus, answer this honestly okay? Do you think the weight that you are now is healthy for someone your age and height?" Alec asked.

"Yes" He said at once.

"Magnus please listen to me, and try not to get offended okay? I'd say you are about 110 to 115 pounds. Do you know what a healthy weight for you would be? About 135 to 140 pounds. You are severely underweight. And if you don't get help soon you're going to die. And I don't want to see that happen" Alec said.

Magnus glared. "And how do you know so much about this? Huh?"

"You see that girl that walked downstairs with me? Shes my little sister. When she was fourteen or fifteen she went through exactly what you are going through. She had this idea that she had to be skinny as a broom handle in order for her friends and boys to like her. So she starved herself until the point she was hospitalized. During her stay at the hospital, she went through Rehab and got her life back on track. Now she eats healthy and exercises. She knows that she never wants to go through that ever again and scare us. And when she was hospitalized I stayed with her because my parents had my little brother to look after. So I learned quite a bit" Alec explained.

"I'm sorry that she had to go through that. But I think I'm at a perfect weight" Magnus sniffed.

"Magnus! You cant be serious. You are not healthy. And you're not going to get better if you don't get some help. Ill even go with you if you want. Just please" Alec pleaded.

"No. I don't need help, Alec. And if you don't mind, Ill be leaving" Magnus said and got up from the bed.

"Just so you know, Ill always be here if you need someone" Alec muttered before Magnus walked out the door.

Magnus didn't say anything, he just kept walking. Without a glance back at Alec. He didnt feel bad for leaving so abruptly. He was tired of Alec telling hime that he needed to get help. But there was this little nagging voice at the back of his head.

Would it be alright if he got help?

A/n: Okay! So here's the end of chapter seven! I hope you guys liked this! And I'm sorry if it sucks.. I'm currently terribly sick and kind of out of it! So yeah! Oh and guess what? I'm getting help with my eating disorder next month. I'm really scared, but I think that this is for the better. So I can live my life without being scared of getting fat! So yeah!

Anyway,
