Waiting for an answer from the bank was stressing Alec's out. He was pacing the floor of his apartment whilst chewing his nails, a habit that Izzy hated but as she watched him she could see how tense he was and didn't feel like telling him not to do it as she knew he would snap at her. She had already called Simon and Jace who were on their way over to help in anyway they could.
"Alec... How are you going to pay for this?" Izzy asked, she had been concerned about this ever since he said he would pay.
"I have the money Iz. I never spent the money Dad gave us when we turned 18. It's been sitting in my savings account just getting bigger with the interest. I never wanted to use his money but... I have no choice. I can't lose him" Alec sighed, running his fingers through his hair.
"But Dad gave us $350,000 each? How have you managed to save $150,000 just on interest?" Izzy frowned.
"We don't all spend our money in one go Iz!" Alec snapped. "I save my own money as well! The band paid well before Jordan left. In my savings I have about $450,000. Then in my own account I have just under $100,000. I don't care how much it makes me penniless. Magnus is more important"
Izzy nodded, letting her brother anger brush past her because she knew it wasn't aimed at her, she loved Magnus, but she also couldn't help worrying about Alec and if he would be able to cope when he paid all this money out. It was then that the door opened and Clary, Jace and Simon walked in.
"Have you heard from the bank yet?" Jace asked without greeting anyone.
"No" Alec spoke sadly, looking up at the clock. "I have 2 hours and 30 minutes left to get this money and to get to Magnus. I... I don't know what I'd do if I don't get it in time"
"We will still go there and I'll kick their ass's for you" Clary beamed, making Alec chuckle which everyone was pleased about. It was then that Alec's phone rang and he pulled away from Clary and rushed to the table, grabbing the phone instantly and seeing it was his bank calling.
"Hello.." Alec said quickly, looking at the others as he listened to the voice on the other end.
"Hello is this Mr Alexander Lightwood?" A woman's voice asked.
"Yes, this is him. Did I get accepted?" He asked rather curtly without meaning to sound rude.
"This is Sarah from Atlantic Bank of New York. You did but only partly. We can grant you $475,000 total to be taken out today. That would clear out your saving account you have with us and $25,000 from your current account. If you accept, we can have your money sorted within the next 2 hours" The woman said.
"Only $475,000" Alec sighed, seeing everyone gasp and knew that it wasn't enough. "Ok... yes, yes I'll take it out. Can you make it as fast as possible please? I need it before half 4"
"We will do it as fast as we can Mr Lightwood, I'll call back when the money is ready to be collected" Sarah said before they both said goodbye and Alec turned to his family and friends.
"Can't you ask Michael to drop the charge?" Simon asked, Alec shrugging as he picked up his phone and rang Michael, Not surprised when he was told he wouldn't drop the charge and that Alec only had till 5 before he would do horrible stuff to Magnus.
"I need $35,000." Alec sighed as he put the phone down, chewing his lip as he searched through his phone.
"What are you doing?" Jace asked confused.
"I know how to get it..." he said before calling someone as everyone looked at him and frowned. "Hi, yeah it's me Alec. That deal you offered me... I'll take it but I want $25,000. Cash." He said firmly. Listening to the man on the end of the phone. "Excellent. I need the money today, is that a problem?"
