With Loves Last Breath

Chapter 1 (who needs titles anyway)

Alec looked out the window into the street. "Were IS he? He should be here by now." Jace looked over at him with an aggravated look. "Relax Alec, he probably just woke up late again or something."

"But he promised that he wouldn't be late!"

Izzy looked over at her brother with a caring look.  " Don't worry big brother, I'm sure he'll be here any minute. He's your best friend, he won't let you down."

"Look, there he is!" shouted Clary

"Bout time" Simon mumbled

Magnus raced in with a panicked look on his face. "Alec, I am SO sorry! The power in my house went out last night and it reset my alarm so I didn't wake up on time, and then I had to run out and grab my suit and the line at the dry cleaners was so long and my car just refused to start and-"

Alec laughed, relief evident on his face. "Magnus, it's ok, I was just worried that something has happened to you." His face stretched into an even bigger grin as he realized how disheveled Magnus was. "For goodness sake Magnus, slow down and make yourself a little more presentable. I mean, Look at you!  Your suit pants are on backwards, and your jacket is onside out!"

"They are?" Magnus went over next to Izzy and looked at himself in the mirror. "Oh my god, I must have REALLY distracted to go out looking like this! I have to look fabulous 100% of the time. Especially today! After all, it's not everyday that you get to see your best friend receive the greatest honor a high school student can earn!"

Alec looked down at his shoes, cheeks blushing madly. "It's not that big of a deal." He said shyly.

Jace stood up with a sudden shout"Not that big of a deal?! NOT THAT BIG OF DEAL'??!!!! Alec, this is one of the most important moments of your life! Only two students out of the entire united states get chosen to even be considered for this award! You need to have perfect grades, meaning not a single 0 in your entire life! You must have perfect attendance for your whole student career, and you must be on at least two varsity sports were you are the MVP, and you must meet the proper score limits set for you by the state. This is a HUGE deal!!"

Isabelle stood up next to Clary." Jace is right. You have been chosen for the Miracle Student Award. No one has received this award in almost two decades!!!! You are going to be on National Television!"

Alec's face turned into a small grimace." But what of I don't want the attention? You guys know that I don't like the spotlight."

Magnus put his hand on Alec's shoulder." Hey,hey. It's going to be all right. You can take one person up there to revive the award with you, remember? You will be just fine and if you get too nervous, then that person can help you. I assume that you will want Jace or Izzy? So they can support you as your family?"

"Actually, I was going to ask you." said Alec while he stared at Magnus's hand on his shoulder, blushing like crazy.

"Alec..I...I would be honored!" He pulled Alec into a fierce hug and Alec, caught by surprise, gave a small gasp. Then, he wrapped his arms around Magnus, and tried to savor the moment, as he was sure that it wouldn't happen again for a very long time. This is what I get for being in love with my best friend he thought with a tear in his eye.

"Umm, I hate to break up this..touching friendship hug, but we have to go if we want to get good seats." said Clary. "Come on!"
