These are Magnus's thoughts (negative thoughts)

Please don't hate me *hides*

10.

"So…it's been two weeks…you and Alec have a fight or something?" Woolsey asked glancing over as he and Magnus changed.

"Do you want to grab drinks?" Magnus asked changing the subject. "I could go for a nice rum and coke and some nacho's."

"I…sure…" Woolsey nodded.

"Great," Magnus said. "Just let me go retouch my makeup and we can go."

"I'll meet you out front then," Woolsey told him as he buttoned his shirt.

Magnus finished getting dressed and went into the bathrooms and took his makeup bag setting it on the counter. He tied his hair back and looked at his reflection.

You look like shit…no wonder Alec left you…

Magnus picked up the makeup brush and tried his best to tune out the voice in his head. He finished putting on his makeup and put it back in his bag before going to meet Woolsey out front.

"I never knew it took you a half hour to put on makeup. How does Alec put up with it?" Woolsey asked as they walked outside.

"He watches me…he says it's like watching an artist at work," Magnus smiled a bit.

Because without it you look ugly.

He cleared his throat. "So, drinks, my treat since I invited you."

"You sure?" Woolsey asked.

"Yeah, I've got a few extra to spend," Magnus answered.

"Then I will pay for the food. Something's got to soak up all that alcohol," Woolsey opened the door to the bar and held it open for him.

The grabbed a table towards the front and took off their coats. Magnus smiled at a passing man and sat back in his chair.

"I wouldn't be looking at other guys if I were you, Alec would be pissed," Woolsey pointed out picking up his menu.

"Yeah well….Alec and I are sort of on break right now…" Magnus shrugged. "And I'm allowed to look."

"Woah you two are on break? Like not seeing each other?" Woolsey asked.

"Yeah. Two weeks now I think," Magnus answered.

"Why? What happened?"

"There was this scare and it was a bunch of overloading in my brain and I just need some space…"

"What kind of scare?"

"The sort of bun in the oven scare that shouldn't be physically possible…no offense or anything…"

"Oh…wow. And you're not?"

"Nope…it was uh stress believe it or not."

Woolsey nodded. "I'm sorry…and you haven't spoken to Alec in two weeks?"

More like he hasn't spoken to you. Probably off screwing Goldilocks~

Shut up.

"No…Just a few texts here and there but that's about it…" Magnus picked up his drink and down the whole thing in one go.

Woolsey raised an eyebrow. "You alright there?"

"Totally fine," Magnus nodded. "I'm gonna order another one. You want another drink?"

"I am good for now. But I'll take some nacho's if you're gonna order some too."

"Nacho's. Got it."


"You are really drunk," Woolsey put his arm around Magnus as they walked down the street.

"No drunk. So not drunk, I am happy," Magnus giggled and wrapped his arms Woolsey's neck. "And you are so hot~"

"You're drunk Magnus. As much as I would love to flirt with you right now, you're going to regret it," Woolsey told him.

He dug his keys out of his pockets and unlocked the door to Magnus's apartment and helped him upstairs and inside.

"Into bed you go," Woolsey said gently helping him down.

"Why are you being so nice to me?" Magnus mumbled watching him take off his shoes. "I threatened to bite off your dick."

"I deserved it," Woolsey shrugged. "I should've have come onto you like that knowing you're already with someone."

"You think Alec hates me…?"

"No. He doesn't hate you. You told him you wanted space, he's giving you space."

Woolsey smiled. "Get some sleep okay? I'll leave you some aspirin and water for your hangover."

Magnus nodded and curled up on the bed falling asleep as soon as he got comfortable. Woolsey went into the bathroom and grabbed a few aspirin and filled a glass with some water and set it on the nightstand for him.

"Alec's a lucky guy…" he sighed leaving the keys by the door as he left.


Magnus groaned as he stumbled into the bathroom and made a beeline for the toilet emptying the contents of his stomach and getting a strong sense of déjà vu. He sat back and wiped his mouth flushing before getting up and washing out his mouth.

He leaned against the sink and winced at his reflection in the mirror. "That's the last time I get black out drunk…" he shook his head and opened the medicine cabinet to get the makeup up remover cream and picked up the bottle of medication before setting it back down and closing the cabinet.

He applied the cream to his face and washed off his hands before filling up the water in the bathtub and got in after taking off his clothes. He leaned back and closed his eyes .

'You've reached the fabulous Magnus Bane. Sorry I'm not able to take your call, well not really sorry just not really wanting to get the phone, anyway. Leave your name and number after the beep and I may get back to you.'

The machine beeped.

'It's Ragnor. I could use a hand down at the parlor tonight. Call me when you get this.'

Part of him wished it had been Alec who called…but Alec never called because he didn't like people over hearing his conversation. He sat up and hugged his knees to his chest.

He never calls you because he doesn't love you. You're just a freak.

Magnus pulled the plug and tuned on the shower standing up and washing his face and hair before getting out and drying off.

Two weeks and he hasn't even texted you to see how you are. He doesn't care about you. No one cares about you.

He rubbed his eyes and went to the kitchen grabbing some bread and putting it in the toaster. He dumped out the week old coffee in the coffee pot and made a fresh batch.

You might as well just off yourself now. Save everyone the trouble. People won't care if you're dead or alive. Your own father didn't want you and your mother killed herself because of you.

He took a deep breath and grabbed the remote turning on the TV to drown out the voice. He sat down with his toast and coffee and hardly tasted either as he ate. He went back into the bathroom and grabbed the bottle of medication out of the cabinet.


Magnus coughed a bit as he came too and looked around instantly recognizing the white walls of the hospital.

"Glad to see you bright eyed and awake," Maryse smiled setting down the chart in her hand.

He reached up and felt the gauze around his neck and grimaced a bit. He noticed the gauze around his wrists as well and winced a bit.

"The good news is that you didn't severe anything important," She told him. "The bad news is that Alec is about ready to blow a fuse wanting to see you…can I let him come in?"

He nodded a little bit and sat up a bit more. She went over the door and opened it. She gave Alec's shoulder a reassuring squeeze as he stepped into the room before he walked over to the bed.

Magnus started to speak but Alec cut him off with a kiss wrapping his arms around him carefully and running his fingers through his hair.

"I'm sorry…I should've come to check on you…." He whispered.

"Not…your fault…" Magnus managed shaking his head. "Mine…"

"It's never your fault," Alec told him.

"I…didn't take it…my medication…I…I know I should've but I didn't…" Magnus coughed and winced. "I had a few drinks…it's not your fault Alec…none of this is your fault."

"You take all the fun out of comforting you you know…" Alec chuckled a bit and kissed his forehead. "You're not supposed to be comforting me."

Magnus coughed a bit more and Alec got him some water.

"Mom managed to convince the hospital not to commit you," Alec told him. "Instead we're going to go home once the psychiatrist checks you out. I am going to have to treat you like a child and make sure you take your antibiotics and medication. You are going take the next few weeks off to recuperate. You are going to let me spoil you and you don't get a chance to complain."

"What happens if I say yes?" Magnus asked.

"If you say yes then I will paint your nails," Alec answered. "And re-dye your hair for you if you would like."

"You're too good for me…" Magnus shook his head.

"Nonsense," Alec smiled and leaned over giving him another kiss. "You rest okay? I'm gonna go and talk to my mom see what things I'll be needing while you recuperate."

"Okay. I'll um be here…" Magnus nodded a little.

Alec gave his hand a gentle squeeze as he stood up and went out into the hall to find his mom. He went to her office and knocked on the door.

"It's open," She said.

He shut the door behind him as he went in and sat down.

"So…you never told me who exactly brought him in…" Alec said crossing his arms over his chest.

"I did," She replied filling out some forms.

"You? You went to Magnus's apartment?"

"I wanted to check on him Alec. Despite the way your father and I have treated you and your little strings of human male companions, I happen to like him. The door was unlocked when I got there and he was already unconscious," she told him.

He nodded. "What first? Wrists? Or…or throat?"

"His wrists I assumed. Otherwise I have a feeling it would've been deeper and much more life threatening."

"I keep reminding him to take his medication…" Alec sighed.

"This has happened before?" she asked frowning.

"Once after we met, and again three months after we started dating. The first time he overdosed on his medication, and the second time…he tried to drown himself…" Alec ran a hand through his hair. "Guess it's a good thing he wasn't pregnant right?"

"Alec, this wasn't your fault," she got up and walked around the desk.

"I'm the reason he wanted space…if…if I hadn't have pushed this onto him we would've have fought and maybe he would've remembered to take his medication and-"

"It's not your fault. Yes, time for him to adjust would have been ideal. Too much too soon can cause a bit of an overload. But it's not your fault that he did this. If he has a history of stopping his meds and taking more than one all at once. If he drinks and smokes, it is bound to happen. The best thing that you can do is to help him and be there for him."

"Bet it was easier when you and dad got together," Alec chuckled a bit.

"Your father cheated on me a few years after you and Isabelle were born. We've had…a lot of problems in our marriage. I'm not going to lie. We even thought about getting a divorce," Maryse told him. "That being said, no relationship comes without its bumps and hurdles. And this is your bump."

Alec nodded a little bit. "Is there anything I can do to make him take the medication?"

"Just reminding him is good. I know the medication won't make him feel 100% but he needs to take it so we don't have another repeat."

"I will do my best…" Alec sighed. "Thanks for all this…making sure they you know…"

"Of course," she smiled. "I have to finish filling out these forms, but afterwards, I will get you two something from Taki's. How does that sound?"

"That sounds great," Alec smiled. "I will go and let Magnus know."

He gave her a quick hug before going back to Magnus's room. He was pleased to see him sleeping. He sat back down.

"We'll get over this bump…" He whispered. "We always do."
