Alec POV:
"So, that's the asshole who trashed the storage room?" I heard someone mumble, he obviously knew I could hear him. I didn't want to bother with explaining that I didn't do it, no one was going to believe me anyways.
"Hey now Jace, let's give him a chance." I heard a small voice ask of the tall blonde boy.
All he responded with was a "Tch." before turning and stomping away.
I turned to the girl to thank her, but she already left, throwing a glare over her shoulder.
I rushed to the bathroom to chance my clothes again, pulling off the loose clothes and slipping back in to my baggy but not quite as large gym clothes. I pulled up my hood before sneaking out of the bathroom.
As soon as I took a step out, I was stopped by Magnus. He touched my hood. "Why are you hiding such beautiful blue eyes?" I pulled your head down further, to hide the blush spreading over my face. I heard him giggle. "Wow, you really are shy."
"Shut Up!" I snapped, I don't know why, but I quickly closed my mouth, instantly regretting it. "Sorry," I muttered, looking away.
"No problem, blue eyes." he said, letting it go quickly. "We have a lot to do, so why don't we get started?" I nodded not saying anything. He grabbed my hand, dragging me with him to the padded floor.
"Okay, let's stretch first." He said. "Can you touch your toes?" I showed him that I could, slightly wincing at the pain in my stomach, no doubt from when Johnathan had knocked me out earlier. "Okay, can you do any tricks, like flips?" He asked, I shook my head, staying silent. "Okay, let's try this." He said, pointing to a few bars suspended 7 or 8 feet in the air. I walked over, jumping to grab one of them, I missed by a mile. I tried a few more times, every time missing, yeah, I was short.
"Do you want some help?" He asked.
"No," I muttered, jumping again. I missed, swearing under my breath. When I jumped once more, I felt hands on my stomach. I cried out, first in surprise, then in pain. I curled up, grabbing at the hands that held me. They sat me down gently, laying me on my back, when I opened my eyes I was met with the Green/Yellow eyes of Magnus Bane.
"Hey, what's wrong?" He asked, "Are you okay?" he looked worried, "What's wrong with your stomach." He was pulling up my sweatshirt before I could stop him.
He stifled a gasp. "What happened?" He demanded.
"Nothing, I just fell." I lied, he grabbed my arm pulling me to mt feet.
"What are you doing?" I asked.
"Taking you to the infirmary," He said, not loosening the grip on my arm.
"I'm fine, it'll heal soon." I said, trying to pull my hand out of his, his grip tightened.
"No, you need something on that." He said, I felt tears in my eyes. I tried to hold them, but they spilled over.
"Alec, does it hurt that bad?" he asked, worry clear in his voice.
I shook my head, we were a little way down the hall now, well out of earshot of the gym. My hood had fallen down, and I was rubbing at the tears, pushing them away. I looked up at him, he was quiet a bit taller than me.
"I'm happy." I whispered, hoping he would hear me. Magnus pulled me in for a hug.
"Shh, it's okay." he whispered in to my ear.

Magnus POV:
"Shh, it's okay." I whispered, I felt him stiffen, before pulling his arms up defensively. He panicked, pushing me away quickly.
I fell back, regaining my balance carefully. I lifted my head to glare at him, but froze, seeing the look on his face. He looked terrified, his entire body was trembling.
"Alec..." I reached out for him, he flinched away.
"Don't touch me!" He screamed, smacking my hand away. "Please, leave." His voice was nearly begging. He was still crying, now more violently.
I backed up, turning and walking away. I had only walked around the corner, still hearing the shuddering intakes of Alec's breaths. Then, I heard voices that were not Alec's.
"Hey, fag!" I winced at the bitter word, even if I knew it wasn't for me. I peeked around the corner just in time to see a punch connect with Alec's cheek. The force sent him flying to the side, hitting the ground. He struggled to sit up, scooting back, his back hitting the wall.
The bullies were laughing cruelly, and Alec was in pretty bad shape. The biggest one, Johnathan, walked up to him, slowly leaning over and whispering into his ear. I struggled to hear what he was saying.
"Your not wanted here, why don't you just die already?" When I heard him say it I wished I hadn't. Alec was holding his breath, trying to calm his beating heart.
"Screw you!" Alec screamed, Johnathan's face lit up in anger and he punched Alec hard in the gut. He gasped and slumped over, completely loosing consciousness.
"Tch." He stood, landing one more kick to Alec before leaving, his minions following after him. I was completely paralyzed until I heard Alec moan, snapping out of it, I rushed to his side, falling next to him.
"Are you okay?" I asked quickly, his cobalt eyes fluttered open. He jumped to his feet before rocking back and falling over. I caught him, placing his head on my lap.
"So, that's what happened to your stomach." I said. He turned away from me.
"You need to go to the hospital." I said. He stiffened again.
"'m fine." he said, his eyes glazed over slightly.
"No way! You can't go home like that. What will your parents say?" I asked. Alec flinched as if the words physically hurt him.
"That's none of your business." He said, his voice and words were cold, but under them, there was so much sadness.
"Alec, I-" I started, but he cut me off.
"Don't think you know everything! Just leave me alone!" With that he rushed off, his thin frame disappearing from my sight.

Alec POV:
Why? Why did he have to mention them?! No one talked about them since the accident.

A/N: Hey everyone, sorry it took so long to update, I just never found time, but now I'm hear, I hope you enjoy it, and I love you all!
