  -Alec's POV-
I didn't care about hiding my tears right now. I wanted Magnus to be here with me, after all the trouble he went through to even come, now he's leaving. Leaving me. Something could happen to him just as well as something could happen to me. At least we aren't in Idris, where there are no phones. At least I will be able to talk with him.
I kept walking, wanting to get this over with. So I can get back home. Home to Magnus. When we get back, I'm keeping him all to myself. For at least a week. I saw the sun setting overhead, it was pretty. At night more Demon activity happens, so we had to be on alert. Izzy's necklace was glowing, we all got silent and started listening.
There were six of them, it was too dark by now to see what kind of Demons they were. But they were probably working for Azazel. Two came at me and I shot one down with an arrow while the other pounced on me. It knocked me to the ground and my bow out of my hand. I punched it as hard as I could, but it didn't budge.
I yelled and rolled over to where it was underneath me. I pulled my Seraph blade out and stabbed it repeatedly. It disintegrated beneath me and I got up panting. Jace and Isabelle were finishing their demon's when Jace fell to the ground, coughing and wheezing. "We need to get somewhere safe," Isabelle whispered, "So we can heal Jace."
I nodded and helped Izzy carry Jace. We limped to a hotel and thankfully it was a Warlock at the desk who looked frightened when we came in. She gave us a room and quickly ran out with widened eyes. I rolled my eyes and locked the door, gently laying Jace on one of the beds. "That looks really bad," I whispered, pulling out my Stele.
I drew Iratze's on him and then did my own. Isabelle had already finished hers. I looked at her and she smiled lightly. I stepped out in the hall and dialed Magnus' number. No answer. I decided to leave a message.
"Hey Magnus it's Alec, I miss you," I choked back a sob, "Um call me back when you can, I love you," I said sniffling and hung up. I sank to the floor and broke down, Shadowhunters don't usually cry, but I had kept my feelings hidden away for so long it was time to cry and sob like a little child. It was time to crawl in bed and curl into the fetal position. It was time for my lover to come in and wrap blankets around me, holding me and telling me it was going to be okay. But I can't do that because I am on this stupid mission.
I sobbed quietly, and tugged at my hair. Hoping no one came around to see me. I just wanted Magnus to stay with me, I know that it was selfish. I didn't care, he was mine, and I wanted what was mine. We only have a limited amount of time together and I wanted to spend as much time with him as possible. I knew that when I grew old he wouldn't want to be with me anymore, he wouldn't love me. That made me cry harder, it made me pull at my hair harder. I curled into a tight ball right there in the hall and fell asleep.
