Start Over

Alec's POV

It's been rough during these 7 years. Eversince graduating...a certain school  I became a lawyer and I became that best at it. But I always new there was something missing. A missing piece to my heart that I can't identify. I've always felt... empty.

As I get dressed my phone rings. I check it out and an unknown number was calling. I ignored it then continued dressing up and fixing my things for work. As I do that the same number keeps calling me over and over. I couldn't stand it so I answered the phone.

"Hello? Who is this?" I ask.

"I am Dr. Kingsley, are you Mr. Alexander Gideon Lightwood?" The doctor answered.

"Yes I am. What is this about?"

"There is a man who arrived at our hospital. He was in a car crash then he rushed going to this hospital. As of now he is sleeping in one of our rooms."

"So what does this have to do with me?"

"We don't know who he is. He only mentioned your name and gave us your number before he passed out. Will you be able to come here? He's at room 804"

"Sure, I'll be there."

I got my keys then I went inside my car to go to the hospital. Who could that guy be? And how does he know my name? Those thoughts circled in my head along the way. I arrived at the hospital then went to room 804. When I entered, I saw a familiar face on the bed. He was awake and when he saw me, he smiled.

"Alec, is that you? It's me Jace, remember?"

"Jace! What happened?! We haven't seen each other since you proposed then now you're on a hospital bed. It's a car crash right?"

"Ya. But listen Alec, this is important. The car I crashed into... was..." He then hesitated.

"Who? Cmon, tell me. We're parabatai aren't we?"

"Yes we are but, you're not gonna like who i crashed into."

"Is it Clary? You're fiancé?"

"No! Of course not. She was at an art gallery somewhere in San Francisco. It was Magnus. Magnus Bane."

As soon as he said those words I shivered. That guy, that bastard. My ex-boyfriend, the guy who was my first everything, and the guy who left me. I never wanted to hear his name again. But here I am, listening to a story wherein he's involved.

"Do want me to be your lawyer? I can file a case against-"

"No, don't do it Alec" He shut me off.

"Alec, I don't want you to do this. It was his fault but I won't go to court. He was my best friend too you know. And besides, you might take it personally. I don't want that kind of drama."

"Alright, whatever you say. Was he alone? Is he ok? Did he survive safely?If he's in a hospital which one is it?"

"Alec...you still care for him, don't you?"

"Of course not. Why would you say that?"

"Because you asked those questions. But can you call Clary? I left my phone at home when that happened. I just want her to know that I'm fine."

I nodded then left his room. I typed her number on my phone then I called her. I told her exactly what I was supposed to, then hang up. As I was about to enter Jace's room again, a man came rushing into the room as well.

"Wait a minute, Simon?"

"Alec! Long time no see! Oh ya, I'm here for Jace. Is he good?"

"He is. Go in." I opened the door.

Simon and Jace decided to talk then I stood in the corner, thinking about Magnus. All the pain he left in me all these years. I have tried everything to move on from him, but nothing worked. It was pointless. I was hopeless.

After a long talk, Simon and I went home. As I park my car a man was sitting on my doorway. He had his head down, teared down clothes, and extremely wet hair. As I approached the man, he looked at me, with puffy eyes.

"Help me, please..." the man plead.

"Um, sure. I'll just open the door."

I helped him get up and I noticed multiple bruises on his arms. I opened the door then let him lay down on my couch. I get my first aid kit then to my surprise, his face changed.

Surprised, I ask "M-Magnus?! Wha-What are you doing here? And why are you wearing that guy's clothes?"

"Alexander...I'm sorry I used my magic again. I know I promised I wouldn't but I'm sorry. You've got to help me Alexander. Please just listen to-"

"No, no you listen Magnus. You left me for seven years then now you just show up asking for my help? You left me remember? You left me!" I cried.

"Alexander, listen to me. Please. It's my father. Asmodeus. He...he did this. I've been trying to escape from him. He wanted me to rule Edom with him then took my powers for 7 years. When I gained his trust he gave it back then I sent him to a portal. Unconscious."

"Wait. You sent him to limbo?! Magnus he's your father!"

"I know he is. But you don't know the pain he left in me. We had a fight then now I'm like this. Alexander please believe me, he's the reason why I had to leave. He said he would send you there to die. I don't want that to happen to you Alexander. I...I still love you."

Now that I think about it, he is right. I did hear them talking about Magnus leaving. I wasn't able to hear the whole conversation as I passed out... for some reason. After a while of silence I spoke up to him.

"Magnus, how can I even help you? I don't have powers like you. I'm just...a lawyer."

"Oh please. Alexander you're a shadowhunter. All of you are. You just wanted to live as mundanes and you always hide your runes. Alexander please, just give me a chance to start over again. I missed us. Together."

"You promise you won't leave me again?"

"I will never leave you, Alexander. So, should we do this whole thing?"

"Sure. I'd like that."
