Alec hadn't realized what telling his parents would mean. He hadn't expected to be sleeping in his car just for being gay. If not for his best friend, he might not have been able to finish college, and started working as a paramedic. Alec also might not have been at the bar that night, might never have met the man of his dreams. Some OOC aspects to the characters. Disclaimer: Cassandra Clare owns everything but the plot. The plot is mine. Edited by Writesalott. AU/AH Malec fic.
