Magnus Chase Oneshots!

Don't Jump

(DISCLAIMER; Okay this chapter has suicidal themes and stuff like that, so if you do not like that kind of stuff please don't read this chapter. Basically, Magnus is having very suicidal thoughts because he is having a bad mental heath day)

Alex Fierro's POV

I knew Magnus had been having a bad mental heath day. He didn't talk much and wasn't his sarcastic usual self. He was always slumped down with a dismal face whenever I saw him. I tried to get him to talk but he wouldn't. That's why I followed him to Midgard after dinner. I had no idea where Magnus was going but I still followed him. I wanted to know why he was so sad and distant throughout the day. I was nervous for him, scared even. I had no idea what could be going on inside his brain. Even as he walked the streets of Boston his posture was slumped. He never looked both ways when crossing the street and almost never looked up from the ground. I was walking not too far behind him, it was cold out and windy, not the ideal temperature for whatever Magnus had planned. Then as we walked onto a bridge he suddenly stopped walking and walked towards the edge of the bridge. He walked toward the edge, the edge of the part facing towards the murky waters below. The sun just began to set and I can see tears falling down Magnus's face as he climbs onto the ledge the peers over the water. Then the puzzle all came together in my head. He was going to suicide! I ran towards him as fast as I could. 

"Don't jump!" I yell at him, "Please Maggie don't jump!" 

He turns around to look at me with a shocked and hurt face. Tears are streaming down his face.......

"Bye Alex," He says softly, "It was nice knowing such an amazing person like you"

Then he takes a step backward. I scream loudly and fall to the ground. He starts to fall into the murky waters below. Wait, there is still a way I can save him! I quickly turn into a huge bird and fly up into the air and down towards Maggie's rescue. I dive towards him as he falls. I swoop under him just in time to catch him. I then fly upward while making sure Maggie is still on my back. He is curled up in a ball, crying on my feathered back. I flew upward and onto the bridge. I made sure that as I turned back into a human, that he would not get hurt or fall. As I turned back into a human he did fall to the ground, but only a couple of inches. I sat down next to him and pulled him into a tight hug and pat his back to comfort him.

"It's okay Maggie, everything's alright, everything will be alright, you'll be alright, it's okay Maggie, just cry it out," I say to him softly. 

It hurt me to see him like this, dismal and crying. All I wanted right now was for to stop crying and tell me why he did that. What drove him to such a point that suicide was the only option? He hugged me back and for a minute or two we sat like this. Me hugging him and patting his back, him crying onto mine. Then he pulled away from the hug and wiped his tears away with his hand.

"Alex," He says in a choked voice and looks me in my eyes, "I couldn't live another day with what was going on in my head, I was getting sent death threats every day and notes telling me to kill myself, then this morning the note said I should join my mother in Hel, and that's what broke me, I just miss her so much......."

He looks like he is about to cry again so I bring him into another hug.

"Maggie, you should have told me sooner" I say softly, "I would have helped you through it, I could have helped you find out who did this, but Maggie, even though I know you love your mother greatly, do you really think she would want you to suicide so you can see her?" 

"I don't know" He answers shakily after a few seconds, "All I know is that I want to see her again and that's the only way"

"Maggie no, suicide is never the only way, and you shouldn't die to see her, trust me, you have photos of her, you have memories, you'll never get to see me or any of your other friends again if you die, if you die all you will have is your mother and I don't think Hel will even let you see each other" I say to him strictly, "And if you need any other reasons here's one more, don't die for me, I don't know what I would do without you Maggie, you know me better than anyone else, please Maggie, please...."

I say and start to cry. I am an ugly crier, but right now I don't care. I can't have him die, I literally can't. He means too much to me now, he can't just leave on me. He can't....... he just can't. We sit there for a few more minutes crying and hugging each other tightly.

"Thank you Alex," Magnus then says in a still choked voice, "I would have been dead and in Hel if it wasn't for you, I mean Hel probably wouldn't let me see my mother anyway like you said, just thank you Alex, thank you"

I pull away from Magnus and look him in the eyes. He wipes his tears away and I wipe my own tears as well. I then kiss him on the cheek because it feels like the right thing to do. We both blush. I help Magnus stand up and together we walk back to a portal to get to Valhalla. 

"I promise you we will find whoever did this to you and make their lives a living Helheim," I say to Magnus.

He laughs, "You really are the best Alex,"

As we walk his hand intertwines with mine. I let it be like that, his hands are cool and soft, they feel amazing. I saved his life, I actually accomplished something! As we walk I can't help but notice a small smile start to spread across Magnus's face. I smile as well. This truly was a magical evening.
