He believed you. Alec believed you, he followed you blindly, did everything to help you win because one night you told him you loved him. The feeling was short lasting. The night you made everyone turn on him was the night he officially gave up. When you laughed in his face about the alleged relationship as he begged for you, then sent him packing.

You used him. That was a year ago, and he hasn't been the same. Alec sat in a bar, drinking as he stared into space. Same thing every saturday.
