Shadowhunters Get Through Hell As A Family (Third Book) (Completed) (3rd Book)

2. Help Me Through This Pain

Adley's POV
Thankfully everyone got back from the mission safe and sound. As they were gone all I kept thinking of was Caspian and what if one of them is next? I don't know how to handle my thoughts. They keep growing darker and darker. I need someone to talk to and I think I know just the person.

When I get to uncle Alec and uncle Magnus' I start to feel guilty about this because I don't want to bring past pain for uncle Magnus when he's happy now. I shouldn't be doing this. Just as I walk away uncle Magnus opens the door with uncle Alec and Brea next to them. Damn it

"Adley, do you need something?" Uncle Magnus asks me and I take a deep breath.

"Not anymore, I don't know what I was thinking. I should go, see you guys later, love you." I lie and try to get away but uncle Alec grabs my arm and I sigh.

"We know when you're lying. You're the worst liar ever Adley. What's going on, do you need to talk about...?" Uncle Alec tries to say his name. I look down and slightly look at uncle Magnus and uncle Alec picks up Brea in his arms.

"How about we go get some ice cream while dada and Adley have a talk ok." Uncle Alec tells her and she smiles so wide. "Yay! Ice cream!" Brea shouts and I smile at her. Uncle Alec kisses my forehead and tells me. "It's going to be ok, we're all here for you."

"I know" I tell him and he smiles at uncle Magnus and I as they leave and uncle Magnus let's me in and gets me some water.

"Why did you walk away at first when you came over Adley?" Uncle Magnus mentions

"I was scared to bring back bad memories for you with asking for your help. I didn't want to bring back that pain for you. I couldn't imagine how hard it has been on you and I just chickened out." I admit to him in complete honesty.

"Oh little bug, you truly have the most kindest heart. It's ok, it's how sadly, life goes. People come and people go and people are here to help you through that pain. I'm here to help you, always. You know that" Uncle Magnus assures me and I awkwardly smile at him.

"Are you sure?" I check "Yes, ask me any questions you have." Uncle Magnus allows me to continue and I take a deep breath to relax my emotions.

"How long did it take to have a good sleep and good focus back on life? Also how did you get back to that?" I ask him because I haven't been sleeping at all lately and I would like to sleep.

"I talk to the people I care about and trust about what's truly going on and get everything out. It wasn't easy but I did it. Sleep took some time and I totally understand that. All your thoughts get jumbled up at that time and it's the worst feeling ever. Maybe when you have those thoughts just draw or paint. I know how much that helps you through anything. I remember when you had your first injury and the pain hurt so bad all that would help you was art and you got through it." Uncle Magnus reminds me and it does really help with that suggestion.

"I seriously don't know how you do it uncle Magnus. You have to be one of the strongest people I know, seriously." I tell him and he smiles at me and put his hand on my shoulder.

"Thank you little bug, you have the kindest heart ever, truly. Never met a kid your age have such a big heart like you." Uncle Magnus kindly tells me again. "You can get through this. You're strong enough to pull through anything that comes your way. I believe strongly in that for you." I start to feel a bit better and feel more calm.

Uncle Magnus distracts me by us catching up and this is what I needed. Just to be with my family one on one. This is what's going to help me through this, my family. I can do this, with them. I can get through this, with them.

Seems like uncle Magnus and her family are really helping Adley through this pain. How long will that good feeling last though because in the Shadowhunter world all they get is pain? ❤️
