Thank you all for your amazing reviews! You make me happy ^^

Hope you like this one! I own nothing :P

It's been a week…Already seven days have gone by since the secrets from the Lightwood family came out into the light. None had any evidence against their father – who they all suspected was the one to be at blame for this – so they really couldn't do much but try to fix it. Jace had decided to go along Alec's plan. Despite what Magnus had said Jace went to the foster home and had a day with the kids there. Clary went with him and they both actually had a good day with all the kids. That little visit had been all over the news the next couple of days. Jace Wayland donating money and helping kids that were going through the same thing he went through…good way of getting into the good side of the cameras. And even though Jace would never admit it, he actually loved the experience and was going to repeat some day in the future.

Izzy and Simon were still trying to figure out exactly what they were going to do. Izzy had publicly announced that she was having the baby and that no abortion was going to be made. Simon had also announced via Twitter that he was going to be a 'proud father' in around 7 months. That had settled down things a little, but the couple still had to discuss if they were going to actually keep the baby or if it was going to be given into adoption.

Alec, on the other hand, had tried pulling his own issues aside. He didn't know where Magnus and he stood, but he knew they were definitely not together…at least, not like before. It broke his heart, but he really didn't know what to do. One of his worse fears was coming true and he could just stand there and see it all happen. Magnus had come to mean so much to Alec he was afraid of losing him…and now it was exactly what was happening. Alec had pushed Magnus away and now the designer was walking out of Alec's life. Alec knew it all was too good to be true…his insecurities had got the best of him. Magnus was the best thing that ever happened to Alec. He was amazing, handsome, funny, and just all the good things in his life…while Alec was nothing more than a boring, plain, closeted guy who had nothing to offer. Or at least, that was how Alec saw himself. Alec knew Magnus was going to leave him one day or another…Magnus deserved having the perfect boyfriend. Someone who would make him happy and show the world how amazing he was…Alec couldn't give him that. Magnus deserved better, but Alec wished their relationship had lasted longer.

"You're an idiot" Isabelle said as Alec voiced his thoughts "Magnus is the best thing that happened to you…why are you letting him go?"

"He deserves better, Isabelle" Alec said with a sigh "He deserves so much more than what I can give him…I'm not pulling him away from the happy life he can have"

"If you weren't so stubborn to go to the office you would see he's miserable" Izzy scolded "I've never seen him so depressed…He's moping all the time."

"It surely isn't because of me" Alec said, not really believing it himself.

"You're kidding, right?" Izzy said rolling her eyes "You're all he thinks about…he even designed a new clothing line…It all is black and blue!"

"Look, Izzy….I really appreciate your concern, but I really don't want to deal with it right now"

"Fine" Izzy sighed "Do whatever you want…but just know that running away won't solve anything"

Alec sighed turning to look back at his laptop. He was currently sitting on the sofa of his living room while Izzy lay down on the love seat next to his sofa. This was one of the days Izzy had decided to visit him randomly. She had been doing that quiet a lot lately, mostly because she wanted to check on him and see how he was doing…specially after what happened to Magnus, Izzy didn't want her brother to go back to what he was when his parents kicked him out of the house…Alec had a dark past, darker than he let out, and Izzy didn't want it to repeat itself.

"Alec?" Izzy asked quietly a few minutes later

"What's up?" Alec asked not looking up from his laptop. He was typing furiously, answering the comments he had gotten on the last photos he posted on his blog.

"Would you come with me to the hospital?" She asked carefully

"What?" Alec's head shot up and looked at his sister in alarm "Why do you need to go to the hospital? Is everything alright? Is the baby fine?!"

"Alec, calm down!" Izzy said. Lately Alec had been even more protective over her than before…It was kind of cute, really "I have a Doctor's appointment…Simon can't come with me because he has a meeting with his band…It seems they are getting signed"

"Oh" Alec said relaxing slightly "And you want me to go with you?"

"Yeah well…you're the only one I can ask" Izzy shrugged "But it's ok if you don't want to…I guess I could go on my own-"

"No!" Alec said too quickly "I'll go…When do you need to be there?"

"In about an hour" Izzy said biting her lip nervously "Are you sure? I don't want to bother you"

"Iz…you're my little sister" Alec said softly "If you need me there with you, I will"

"Thank you" Isabelle smiled softly at her.

An hour and 20 minutes later Alec was waiting by the sitting room of the hospital with Isabelle. They were in the maternity wing and there were many pregnant women around them. Most of them were with their partners, others were on their own, and some even had more kids around them. Isabelle looked nervously at them all. She was the youngest girl in the room and some of them seemed to recognize her. Not a surprise her, her posters were all over the city with the clothes Magnus had designed a few months back, and she appeared a few times in the last issue of the Prestigious magazine…

Izzy kept typing her fingers against her knee as she looked around the room and waited for her name to be called. Alec, who was reading a book next to her, started to grow annoyed at the sound her fingers made against her leg.

"Isabelle! Would you chill out?" Alec hissed "It all is going to be alright"

"What if something goes wrong?" Izzy whispered with wide eyes "What if the doctor finds out there's something wrong with the baby?"

"Nothing is going to go wrong" Alec tried to calm her down "The baby will be fine, you'll see"

Just then a small girl with nurse clothes walked inside the sitting room. She had shoulder-length brown hair and her eyes were wide green.

"Isabelle Lightwood?" She called looking up from the clipboard she had in her arms.

Izzy gulped loudly and stood up. Alec followed suit and took her hand, squeezing in a reassuring manner, and both of them walked inside the doctor's office.

Inside the other room there was a small bed against the wall. Isabelle went to sit there while they waited for the doctor to appear. Alec stood beside her, trying to reassure her that everything was going to be alright. A moment later the door opened and a woman walked inside wearing a white coat that doctors were known to use.

"Hello…I'm Catherina" She smiled sweetly "You must Isabelle, right?"

"Yeah" Izzy nodded "This is my brother, Alec"

"Nice to meet you" Alec nodded politely

"Oh no! the pleasure is mine!" Catherina said "It is always a surprise to have famous people here"

"We're not famous" Izzy said with a shrug

"I beg to differ" Catherina said with a smile "I've seen you all in the news this past week…All good things, though"

"Yeah right" Alec snorted, not really intending for everyone to hear, but they did anyways.

"It may not be my place to comment, but for what is worth, I think you and Mr. Bane do a cute couple" she spoke "I have to say…you're a great role model for my son"

"Me?" Alec asked with his eyebrows raised "No…certainly it is someone else"

"No! I clearly remember him talking about your photos" Catherina nodded "When the news came that you and Mr. Bane were an item, it gave him the bravery to come out to us"

"That's really sweet" Isabelle said with a small smile taking place in her lips

"You may not know it Mr. Lightwood…but you affect many people's lives…and not all of them are that bad" Catherina said "Now, let's start with the ultrasound, yeah?"

Alec found himself sitting by the desk of his studio. He looked out the window and down the streets of New York. Isabelle's doctor's voice kept repeating itself in Alec's mind and he didn't know what else to do. Those words had affected him in a way he never thought possible…was it true? Was he actually affecting other people's life in a positive way? Surely it wasn't him that encouraged Catherina's son to come out….but what if he was? Was that boy going to be the only one? Were there more out there?

He then thought of all the lives he was affecting with his decision…By running away and hiding, he was giving his father what he wanted. He was letting him win…something he had already done and had ended badly for everyone in his family. Was he going to let it happen again? What about everyone else? His siblings…they were being affected as well. Izzy had to deal with both of them. Magnus and Izzy had grown to be good friends and Izzy was always at the magazine building. Alec had refused to go there in the past week because he didn't want to talk to Magnus yet, and since he had no work to do he could do it…but Izzy had to go and she had to handle with Magnus and then come home and she had to handle with her own brother. It wasn't fair for her….she was worrying about them both when she already had too much in her plate. She wanted them to be together, and was working on it, while she still had to deal with her own issues in her own relationship…that was hardly fair for her.

And the one person he was affecting more than anyone was Magnus. Alec kept running away from him, pushing him out of his life...for what? To be happy? No…they were not happy. To be safe? Probably, but where was the safety in losing the only person he cared deeply about? There wasn't any and he was only hurting Magnus more than necessary. Alec had seen the look of hurt that crossed those perfect golden-green eyes when they had last talked to each other…and it was all Alec's fault. True, Magnus had said he would wait for him and Alec was hurting as well…but for once in his life he needed to stand up and face his own demons, otherwise they would never go away.

He thought of ways of how he could get back with Magnus. Surely a small apology would not cut it…no, he needed to show Magnus he was truly sorry and that it would never happen again….Because it couldn't happen again. Alec didn't want to hurt Magnus the way he had hurt him again, and he didn't want to continue running and hurt himself in the way.

Alec looked around the room, trying to find any idea of how to show Magnus what he really meant to him. His eyes stopped at the wall filled with photos and they lighted up when an idea struck him.

Magnus was at his office sewing some fabric together. He had been working nonstop for days now. Ever since the small fight with Alec he had been drawing new designs and sewing them. A new clothing line was coming to life as he continued to work…and it all was created with the colors black and blue that reminded Magnus so much of the photographer.

Magnus sighed as he stopped the sewing machine. Thoughts of Alec didn't seem to leave his mind and it was driving him crazy. He refused to go looking for Alec, because he was too stubborn for that…but he had promised himself that if Alec showed up at the building then he would talk to him. However Alec hadn't showed up for over a week and it was starting to worry Magnus. Maybe Alec didn't want to talk to him…Maybe Alec was moving on. But it couldn't be true…Magnus talked with Isabelle every day and she was always trying to convince him to go talk to Alec because he was a mess…

Magnus sighed one more time standing up and stretching his sore muscles. He couldn't go talk to Alec…he wasn't brave enough. If Alec was moving on from him, then he was happy…Alec deserved someone who could give him all he wanted. Someone who could wait for him and do as promised. Even though it broke his heart, he wouldn't pull Alec back to him. Magnus was troubled with demons from his past and he couldn't put Alec through that…the blue-eyed boy already had too much on his plate to deal with, he didn't need more.

"Are you going to continue sighing feeling sorry for yourself, or are you going to do something about it?" Camille asked from her place over Magnus's desk.

"I don't know what to do" Magnus shrugged

"Well, I would check his blog" Camille said looking down at her iPhone "you would be surprised at what you find there"

Magnus turned around to face the model with a confused look in his eyes. Camille, however, was already on her feet and walking out of the office. She closed the door behind her, leaving Magnus all alone in the room. The designer turned to look at his desk, where his computer was. He didn't understand what Camille had said, but he couldn't just ignore it. With a small groan of protest he took his place behind his desk and turned on the computer. He then opened a new tab on Google Chrome and typed Alec's blog URL. It took a few minutes to load and Magnus waited impatiently as all the photos loaded. Magnus loved Alec's blog, all the photos he posted were always beautiful…the last photo shocked Magnus, though.

The last post had been done about 15 minutes ago. It was an answer to the challenges Alec had been doing – an idea Magnus had come with. This challenge however was something that caught the designer off guard.

The title read "Love at first sight" and underneath was a photo of Magnus. He was sitting at one of the tables in the small coffee shop Alec used to work at. Magnus was looking down at his laptop with a thoughtful look on his eyes. You couldn't see his face clearly because of the shadows that fall over his profile…but Magnus knew it was him. This was the day he had seen Alec for the first time and this was the photo Alec had taken of him…

Liked it? I hope so :$ haha!
