     Magnus calmed down after a while trying to hold back tears from Alec but it was not working he was already broken. Alec noticed that Magnus could calm down easily even though he did not want to. “Magnus, do you want to come downstairs with me?” Alec asked seeing that Magnus was not going to be able to sleep.
….
   Magnus just nodded he wanted to forget about his past and focus on the future which was his Alexander at the moment. Magnus started to get up but felt a little dizzy and held onto Alec’s side.
 ……  Â
   “You ok,” Alec said seeing that Magnus was not able to hold up anymore on his own. Alec did not get an answer just another nod knowing that Magnus was too weak and tired to talk. Alec was able to help Magnus out of the room and down the staires under 20 minutes. “Need record?” Alec teased and got a playful slap on the hand from Magnus. Alec made it to the living room where everyone was sitting when he sat down he saw Magnus sitting on the side of him.
   Alec moved Magnus to his chest and sprawled out his legs for Magnus to sit in between his thighs. Alec did not care about the looks of his family he was happy and that’s all that mattered. Alec saw Magnus try to stay awake holding on to Alec’s hand tighter. Alec put his face down in Magnus’s ear and whispered “Go to sleep I will be here if something happens, ok?”
….
Magnus said, “you promise?” Alec nodded and took Magnus’s hand. Magnus was so tired that he fell asleep not even a minute later.
…..
“What’s wrong with him Alec?” Jace questioned looking at Magnus who was shifting a bit. “He either has nightmares or memories but I can’t tell,” Alec said playing with Magnus’s hair. “Why do you think it is memories?” Izzy questioned. “Let’s just say that Magnus does not have the best past,” Alec said looking at Magnus who was squeezing his hand more tightly.
“We already know that Johnathan is the one behind Magnus’s issue he is dealing with what else are you not telling us, Alec?” Maryse said looking at Alec who looked at Magnus making sure he was asleep. “His father… he did this to him he stabbed him in the chest a couple of times and also slashed Magnus’s knee open.” Alec said and looked at Magnus who was shifting more. Everyone was quite after that they could not believe it. “Omg, that means Magnus is a….” Maryse started but stopped and put her hand on her mouth in shock.
“Yes Mom he’s an orphan he has no one,” Alec said squeezing Magnus’s hand more tightly. “He has you,” Izzy said with a smile on her face. “Thanks, Iz,” Alec said with a tear rolling down his cheek. Before anyone could say anything Magnus woke up and sat straight up.
….
Magnus was in the dream again his mother was hung and stabbed and his stepfather stabbed himself. But then Magnus looked to his left to see Alec bleeding out from a knife in his chest, “No one will ever love you!” Alec screamed pulled the knife out of his heart and fell still. “No no no Alexander please I need you!” Magnus screamed and fell to his knees crying. But once he looked up he saw his father who had the knife in his hand. “I told you that you would never be loved!” Asmodeus yelled and stabbed himself in his heart as well. “NO NO NO THIS CAN’T BE REAL!” Magnus screamed.
Magnus woke up but sat straight up to catch his breath. Magnus was looking for Alec when he felt a hand on his hand and someone rubbing his back. Magnus saw it was Alec and immediately calmed down.
…..
Alec moved his hand to Magnus’s back rubbing it and holding his hand more tightly. Alec saw Magnus look behind him and calm down. “Hey I’m right here I ain’t going anywhere,” Alec said holding Magnus closer to him.
