Sebastian has been pacing around his room for hours. He couldn't stay put, he couldn't calm down. He felt if he sat down, his heart is bursting out from his chest. As he was pacing deciding whether or not to tell his parents about what happened, a sudden bell sound echoed in his household. Someone is at the door and rang their doorbell. He hurried himself towards the staircase and stopped at the banister when he saw two police officer was talking to his parents by the door. They all looked at him when he finally made an appearance.

"I'm sorry Mr Atler but we need to see your son. We have some questions we need to ask him." They guided the two officers to the living room and one of the maid placed a set of tea cups in front of them which they gladly thanked them. "Mr Atler if you may, I would like to ask few questions regarding the incident that happened to Mr Lightwood."

Sebastian gulped his throat and his Adam's apple bobbed up and down, he tried to remain as calm as he could. "I know we have been through this questions before but today we received an anonymous tip from a stranger. It mentioned that you are the one who planned Mr Lightwood attempt murder at St Joseph hospitals dated a week ago. Is it true?" One of the officers asked him and he eyed his parents in fear.

"No! My son didn't do any of this. What proved is that you said my son was involved?" Sebastian mom, Mrs Joane Atler spoke defending her son. But suddenly Mr Atler raised his hand stopping his wife. "No, I want to hear this. What's the information you received?" He asked and the officer handed him a piece of yellow folder sealed with a thread. He opened them and noticed its a warrant from a court with a confession from some guy name Jared Reed.

"What the hell is this Sebastian? Care to explain?" He asked as he throw the paper away and his wife grabbed it to read next. "I-I d-don't know what they are talking about dad, I swear." Sebastian stutters. Despite his cold and over confident personality, he is terrified of his father. Not too mention his father already warned him to lay low till the matter solve but he did the exact opposite.

"Don't fucking lie to me! Tell the whole truth or so help me God I will drag you down the police station myself!" His father yelled while stood up and held his own waist. His wife went to him tried to calm him down and the whole drama witnessed by the two officers. Sebastian didn't dare to look at his father nor his mum so he kept his eyes down to his feet. He knew he fucked up but its not easy to confess something out of his ego.

"Don't talk to him like that, he's our son! You are supposed to defend your own son not blaming him for that fag! That fag deserves what he get. His action clouded everyone in this town with his despicable behavior. Our son is mainly defending himself." The look on Mr Atler face scowled with anger hearing his wife words and especially referring Alec that low beneath her feet scares her. He looked at Sebastian who still had his gazed on the floor.

"With all due respect Mrs Atler, I know you had done much for the community for your husband campaign but you as the role model shall not referred to a certain citizen for his sexuality nor his way of lifestyle. He's a good kid. No record of any crime of misconduct and he even volunteered in the community. So I must object you right there when you said Mr Lightwood deserves it. No mother ever wanted her son to be beaten up to death just because he is gay. Plus the guy Jared Reed confessed that he received a copious amount of money from your son to kill Mr Lightwood which he succeeded but if not because of the good team he won't survived." One of the officer stood up and spat. He had enough with such discrimination that came through her mouth.

"How dare you speak to me like that! You have no authority to do that and you are in my house. Get the hell out, both of you and I'm gonna make sure Judge Truce will be hearing from this event."

"You are right, I don't have any authority. Shall we take this down to the police station instead ma'am?" He spat back with a smug on his face holding out a handcuffed.

"Are you gonna let him talk to me like that?" She signed her husband to join her but Mr Atler refused to look at his wife nor his son. He scoffed and took a sip of his wine and sat on his leather chair.

"I'll confess." Suddenly Sebastian mutters under his breath which caught attention from all of the people in the room. "What is it son?" One of the officers asked him. He finally looked up to them and to his father which he feared the most.

"Yes, I'm the one who tried to kill Alexander Lightwood cause I don't want him to wake up and reported on me." He confessed which earned surprised gasped from both of his parents. "Why did you do that?" One of the officers asked. He inhaled deeply and exhaled before he stood and looked at them. "Because he refused to sleep with me. I tried to forced him to sleep with me once years ago but he refused and I used forced against his will."

The moment he finished his word, his mother fell to her knees crying out her heart out. Out of all people, she couldn't believe she was so disgusted of Alec for being a gay but instead her own son is part of it too. "You're lying Seb, baby. Please tell mummy you are not gay. You are with Camille remember?" She pulled herself to stood before her son and demand the truth but she only gained another shameful glance.

"No mum, she is only there for me to have fun with. She is with me for the money, drugs and booze." Sebastian shamefully confessed and a sudden sting on his face. For the first time in his life, his own mother who tainted him with such care had slap him.

Mr Atler stood before his family and inhaled deeply letting out a sigh. "You have my permission to take him. I'll call my lawyer but there is nothing we could do." With that he left the room with his wife begging him not to let them take her son. "Daddy." He stopped by the banister and listen to the last thing his son said.

"If Alec wakes up, please tell him I'm sorry. I do love him. I'm sorry for everything, for disappointing you and mum." He heard his father sighed and the sound of handcuffed being locked. He had his hand behind him as they escorted him out.

"You don't know what love is Basti, if you do love him, you won't let him get hurt, you will protect him with all of your heart. You just possessive over your things and that is my fault. I know that since you were a kid. I didn't do anything to change that and here I am regretting. But I do love you son, I will be here waiting for you and my wealth will still be part of you to start over." He turned as he saw them dragged his son out from their mansion. His wife is all over the place and chose to depress her way in their room.

After Sebastian had been taken away from his family, Mr Atler came to see Robert at their home. He pleaded for his son sentenced to be lessen, instead of attempt murder which could lead to life sentenced in jail, the punishment would be an assault and earned six months in jail. He even promised to send his son away from Alec and never to be seen within mile radius from each other. Robert was furious at first and demand justice for Alec which he guilty felt of abandoning him all these years.

The argument were heated in Lightwood resident and Robert was hunger for revenge. Not until Isabelle came towards her father and told him that Alec would have wanted the other way. She knew Alec is not the avenge type of person and for him, he rather to settle it the most peaceful way. Maryse was stating a point where Sebastian is still young and need a future to deal with. He was inconsolable and demanded that he is given few days to think about it since the court hearing is still due on next week.

Robert went to the hospital and as usual, Magnus was there by Alec side. "Mr Lightwood." He jumped upon seeing the man only by himself and not his usual crowd. "Magnus, would you mind giving some time alone with my son?" He asked politely and Magnus nodded with a smile. Before he left, he kiss Alec on his cheek and whispered I love you in Alec's ear. He will always do this routine every time he left Alec.

After Magnus left the room, he took a seat next to Alec. He placed his palm underneath Alec and tears began to collect. "I remember bringing you home from the hospital, a day your mother gave birth. Your hand weren't as big as now, only big enough to wrap around my finger. I was so happy, I have a son and I want to show you everything I know. I want to share my whole world with you but I broke my promise and leave you and your mother alone."

"I decided to call you Alexander, it mean the defender of men. You will defend our family, your sister, your mother and someday if you still love me, you would defend me. Now I'm trying to defend you Alec. Should I or should I not let Sebastian had him punished lightly for what he did to you. I just so mad at what power can do to such people and I want to see him suffer as much as you did. Do you think I should let him go and forgive everything that he did to you?" He can't stop his tears running through his face and suddenly he felt a light grip from Alec's hand.

He hold it closer to his face before he asked Alec again. "Alexander, you think I should forgive him?" Then he saw, the light twitched of Alec's finger wrapped his hand. He smiled before he stood and kissed his son which he hasn't show any compassion or love for years. He leaned his lips on Alec's forehead and whispered, "I love you Alec, you are my son, I'm so proud of you." Robert stroked Alec's hair from his forehead and kissed him again and just then he saw a tear dropped from the corner of Alec's eye. He gripped Alec's hand again before he left the room.
