Brooklyn Revival (completed)

Chapter 26- EXTRA Alec's POV

Alec watched as Magnus's face dropped at his words. Hearing Magnus talking about Dot and how she died, he knew it was the same girl. He was sure he remembered the name Dorothea being mentioned. Watching as Magnus walked off, saying he needed some space, Alec sobbed. His heart shattering into a million pieces at the thought that he might of lost Magnus entirely. Thinking he shouldn't have said anything to Magnus about his past, the truth, but thought it was the best thing to do considering Magnus had said he loved him.

Alec heard the sound of the front door closing through his sobs and felt like his world had ended. Never imagining himself ever getting this emotional over someone leaving him but he knew from the moment he met Magnus, that he was different. That he was worth fighting for. Alec thought back to that night as the worst night of his life, the night he knew he needed to turn his life around.

After coming home from school one day, Alec walked into the house to see no one home except his dad. Finding it odd, he asked his father where everyone was and was told that they had gone out to get food because he needed to talk to him.

Thats when Robert, his dad, had pulled out a gay porn magazine that Alec had hidden behind his dresser. Not knowing how his dad had found it, Alec had been mortified by the situation and tried to deny that it was his. That Jace must of being playing a prank but Alec didn't really get a chance to defend himself before he felt his father's fist against his face. The pain making him forget about his excuse as he stumbled back, stunned. Another fist landed and he both heard and felt his nose break. Screeching out in pain as he covered his face, another punch putting him to the floor before a couple of kicks in the ribs.

When his Dad was finished, he spat on him, calling him a disgrace before walking away. Leaving Alec a sobbing mess on the floor. Alec knew he needed to forget, wincing badly as he got off the floor and headed upstairs. He washed his face to clean up the blood before getting changed and leaving the house.

He had heard about some party at a house on the edge of town and got into his car, driving to the destination and knowing he needed to find some drugs. At this point, he was ready to take anything. He walked inside and luckily spotted a dealer that he knew, walking over and smiling before giving him a quick handshake.
Alec managed to buy a pouch of weed and a pouch of spice for $260 before walking outside and started to roll his cigarettes. After lighting up and smoking his first, he went in and had some beers. Finding a rather drunk guy and dancing with him a little before they wandered outside and had a joint together. Both laughing when they finished and ending up in one of the spare rooms together.

When they had finished, Alec left. Feeling disgusted at what he had done, just grateful that he had remembered to wear a condom before hand, drowning his sorrows in more alcohol before getting in his car to drive.

He hadn't remembered much about the accident, just the white blinding lights on his side of the road and trying to swerve to miss the car but was delayed in his reaction and collided with the car. The only other three things he remembered at the time and after was the loud bang of the cars hitting, the noise of the sirens and seeing the brown haired girl that laid across the road. The only good thing for his own mind was that he couldn't see her face, the way she landed had her facing the other way but the mangled body and blood was enough to shock him into changing his life.

That night after the hospital and police, he had told his mother everything that had been happening. His father, the beatings, the drugs and alcohol. Pouring out his heart to her and Maryse being disgusted by everything she was told. It was soon after she had divorced Robert and Alec had his court case. The judge charged him with a DWI, banned his driving licence for 3 years, gave a $1000 fine and he was sentenced to 3 month suspended sentence which he worked off in a charity shop.
The punishment hadn't felt like enough to Alec, he thought he deserved more but he soon started to get his life around when he met Simon and they started the band. Now proud of how far he had come, even though he still hated a part of himself for his actions that day.

He looked at the clock after he remembered the events and saw that Magnus had been gone for 2 hours, his mind racing with worry and concern. Wondering if Magnus was not only ok, but if he was actually coming back. Laying on Magnus's bed and smelling his pillow, missing him more than he thought he would ever miss anymore. He knew he loved Magnus, he just hoped Magnus still felt the same about him after his revelation.
