A/N: I am so disappointed with you guys, when I said alternate ending doesn't mean both of it has a bad ending, of course I'm giving them both happiness, what do you think I am?  You think you guys had enough of them had to suffered?

Since you made your choice, you don't get my epic ending, and yes, this is my last malec fanfic, I just don't see the reason for my writing anymore, do you?. Sorry to disappoint all of you but I have disappointed enough people in my life already.

"Daddy," Rafe called his father that was currently sitting on the couch with his iPad, he turned his head to his side and smiled gesturing him to come and sit on his laps. "Hey bud, you ready for dinner?" He asked, everyone else is busy preparing for Alec's family to come tonight at their mansion and Magnus hired certain people to help Mary in the kitchen.

"Something is wrong with Alec isn't it?" He asked and Magnus sighed placing his iPad down by his side.

"Rafe, Alec has been through a lot, it will take time for him to adjust." Magnus explained and he stay silenced. "What is it?" Magnus asked knowing his son might have something else in mind. "Does adjusting means he talk to himself like there is someone else there?" Rafe asked and Magnus was taken back on his words. "What do you mean?"

"Earlier today, I saw Alec in the bathroom, telling someone to leave, I thought somebody is in there but when I went, nobody. Alec is scaring me dad, he uhm, he's not himself." Rafe explained and Magnus looked at him with his stern face.

"Don't worry, I will make sure Alec will get the help he needed okay?" He reassured him and he nodded in happiness. He wonder, why didn't Alec told him this, why he must kept everything a secret after everything they have gone through.

Rafe jumped from his father's lap and headed to the kitchen and Magnus was about to check on Alec when the doorbell rang, great, the Lightwood has arrived. He headed to the main door instead of checking on Alec to welcome his future in laws.

Alec POV

I woke up feeling my head a bit lighter than before, I can never tell which is reality and which one is a dream anymore. However I woken up and saw the clock by the night stand and it shows almost six in the evening, I rubbed my face with my palm and headed to the bathroom, my family is coming for dinner around seven and Magnus gonna need all the help he's gonna get to gone through tonight.

I finished showering and went to the mirror to brush my teeth, as I looked at myself behind all those fogged covering the bathroom I could see it, I could see him standing behind me. I gasped turning around but no one is there. I could feel my heartbeat thumping out of my chest, my breath hitched but no one is there in the bathroom but me, I'm going crazy, I must have.

I turned back around and wanted to pick up the toothbrush that fell in the sink and want to put some water on it, I looked up in the mirror and he stood just right behind me with that evil grin of his, the grin that I couldn't shake ever since I got my memories back. He looked pale, dead pale, his skin is white and blue and his head is bleeding, from the gunshot, his teeth is seethed with blood and when he smiled, it dripped on his chin. "Liam." I said and I felt his hand gripped my hair back and stretching my neck.

"Hello Alexander." He said whispering in my ear, I swore that none of this is real, I blinked my eyes repeatedly, praying all of this isn't real, but the pain I felt in my head and the hot breaths on my neck felt too much convincing.

"This isn't real, you're dead, you are not real." I whimpered mumbling the words over and over again but he gripped my hair harder pulling it backwards, "I am as real as you're gonna get, I will never leave you Alexander, I will always be in your head, your fear, your sorrow, your darkness is always gonna be there in your mind, and I am part of it, in your mind." He said and tears dwelling in my eyes as I heard him say all those words.
