The Love Through Silence

Chapter 2

ALEC'S POV

I have no idea what the hell is going on. All I know is that it's a mad rush in the real world. I could feel my body but I couldn't move it. I hear bits and pieces of what was happening around me, but I mostly only hear beeps and crying. I have no clue as to what was wrong, all I can piece together is that they are most likely crying about me. I felt someone holding my hand. It was Magnus. It killed me to know that I was hurting him. I have to know what state I was in and what was happening. I wanted to kiss him and tell him that I'm okay, but I couldn't. I tried to move my body, but all I heard was loud and fast beeps coming from machines that I guess are hooked up to me. I feel my body violently shake. Am I having a seizure? I started to panic but I think it made it worse. All of a sudden, I felt a rush of people, most likely doctors, came to me and hold me down. After a few minutes I feel my body stop shaking. I want someone to come in and at least tell me what was happening even if I didn't respond. I hear the door open, and footsteps run in straight at me and hugged me. I heard their voices, it was my parents." What happened." My mother asked. "Your son was hit in the head with something, were not exactly sure what, a piece of metal or something. He is now comatose. I'm sorry." My mother started to cry. I think at this point everyone was crying. All I want to do is be with my boyfriend and family, not trapped in my own mind.

After Alec's seizure, Magnus stepped out of the room crying and shaking. Izzy followed him and saw him on the hallway floor, balling. Izzy had never seen him like this, he was always the one to be calm in these situations and help everyone else as much as he can, and comfort them, but Izzy realized that this time she needed to be there for Magnus. When Isabelle managed to get Magnus calm, she took his hand and brought him back to Alec. Jace was at his side, looking lost. He turned to Magnus and Isabelle with tears down his face." I can barely feel him, and what I do feel is him, lost in nothingness. He is scared." Magnus dropped to the floor, Isabelle catching him. He ran to Alec and started to kiss his boyfriends' forehead.

MAGNUS' POV

 I am in denial. This is all a nightmare. Alexander is at home right now waiting for me for our date. I kept saying this to myself as I stared at Alec's almost lifeless body. I held onto his hand for hours and never stopped watching him. Occasionally I would kiss him hoping he would react to it as he usually does, but nothing happened. Jace walked in, in his pajamas, up to me. He put his hand on my shoulder and told me that it was two o'clock in the morning he helped me stand up and brought me to Alec's room. He told me that it might help if I got some sleep. I nodded and crawled into Alec's bed. It smelled like him even though he barley ever slept in this bed. I clutched onto the sheets that was covered in his scent. I fell asleep thinking of Alec and crying.

 When Magnus woke up, he got dressed quickly and went straight to Alec's side. He kissed him on the forehead and started talking to him as if he was awake and responding. He remembered that Caterina told him that comatose patients might be able to hear their surroundings. He talked to him for about an hour before Isabelle and Simon came into the room, hands intertwined. Magnus looked up at them with tears in his eyes. The couple came to hug Magnus and support him. They talked to Alec for a few minutes and left Magnus to be with his boyfriend.

ALEC'S POV

 It feels so weird to know the person talking to you but not being able to respond to them or comfort them when they are crying. All I want to do is to give Magnus the biggest hug I could possibly give him. I've heard Jace, Clary, Isabelle, and Simon come to visit me, even my parents came, together, which was surprising. At least I wasn't alone. I had people who care and love me around me at all times. I have no idea how long I have been comatose for. I can't tell how much time has passed, it could be days, minutes, hours, even months but I don't know. At least I had Magnus with me all the time. I just want to wake up and tell him I love him.

It had been almost a month since the accident and there was still no change in Alec's condition. Magnus practically lived in Alec's room in the infirmary now. He recalled on the last time he was in his apartment. The day of the accident. He quickly guided his train of thought to Alec now. Some nights when Magnus was sleep deprived and hungry, he could swear, he saw Alec's finger twitch. But everyone told him he was just imagining it and that he was tired. He wanted to believe that Alec was starting to wake up. Magnus barely ate. He was too worried about Alec. Magnus sat there watching Alec, thinking of what great things they were going to do together once he woke up.

ALEC'S POV

 I have heard people say that I have been in this coma for two months now. Even though it didn't feel like two months, I am ready to wake up. I heard the doctors come together in my room about calling the Silent Brothers to try to wake me up. Why they hadn't done this two months ago, was beyond me, but I don't care that much just because of how badly I want to wake up.

JACE'S POV

 I don't even know how to react to Alec's state. Our bond is so weak. At first I felt him, only because he was scared, but now I can barely feel him at all. Our rune is not as dark as it used to be. I see that he is alive, and our bond tells me he is alive, but deep down, it feels as if he were dead. I spent a lot of my time with Clary to try and keep my mind form thinking about Alec constantly, but it didn't work.

A week had gone by after the doctors decided to call the Silent Brothers. They finally came and told everyone to wait in the hall. Magnus sat with Isabelle, holding her hand, sometimes squeezing it for comfort. Everyone was nervous and pacing for four hours. Once Brother Enoch came out of Alec's room, he explained to them that they would have to wait and hope that the procedure helped Alec and that it will wake him up quicker. They all felt somewhat relieved.
