'When a good thing goes bad it's not the end of the world

It's just the end of a world, that you had with one boy
And he's the reason it happened, but he's overreacting
And it's all because he don't want things to change'

"Alec, I can't do this anymore." I hated myself for having to do this, but there is no way around it.

"W-what do you mean?" Alec stuttered back.

"This. The constant sneaking around and lying to everyone. We can't even go out on a real date without the constant worry of someone seeing us!"

"I-I thought you understood. I'm just not ready for that yet."

"I do understand, Alexander. But when will you be ready? This has been going on for 5 months now and I would be surprised if you have even told your cat what was going on between us! I love you Alec and I wish that I could show that to the world. Let them know that you are mine."

"I'm sorry Magnus." Alec whispered. "I really wish for that too. I love you with all my heart, but you know the consequences that could come from that! They could strip my marks and then what I am to do? I would have to leave my family and the Shadow world behind. I just can't face that possibility yet."

"I know this, but I don't think I can wait any longer. I'm sorry."

"Please don't do this Magnus. I promise I will come out soon. There is just so much going on now with the war and everything. Let things settle down some. Please." Alec practically begged.

"But when will that be? Nobody knows when all of this will end. For all we know it could go on for years. And where will that leave us? Hiding out in my apartment and you pretending I don't even exist when anyone is near us?"

"I-" Alec tried to reply but I cut him off before he could continue.

"No, Alexander. You know that what I said is true. I have waited and went along with everything you have done hoping that sometime soon you would change your mind and just come out to the world and let everyone know we are dating, but my patience is running out. I love you more than anything else in the world, and I know you love me too, but we have to stop pretending. If things keep going as they do, this will never work."

"I'm sorry. I can try harder. We can make this work. Just please. I-I don't know what I would do without you Magnus. I just can't deal with a change that big at the moment." By the end of this Alec was almost crying. I could see the tears rising in his eyes and threatening to fall at any moment. I knew that I had to end this now and leave before I broke down too and let this continue. No matter how much I don't want to I know it will just make it even worse if I stay.

'So cry if you need to, but I can't stay to watch you
That's the wrong thing to do'

Alec tried to reach out to me, to try to pull me to him thinking it could change my mind. I wish it could have, but I knew I couldn't let it. I stepped back before he reached me.

'Touch if you need to, but I can't stay to hold you
That's the wrong thing to do'

"I have to go now. Maybe we will see each other around sometime." I finish speaking and then quickly turn towards the door. I feel the tears coming and need to get out before they come. Right before I reach the door I hear a soft whisper come from behind me.

"Please. Please Magnus. Don't leave. Please. I'm sorry. We can make this work, just please don't leave. I love you." Alec keeps repeating these words like his life depended on it. Why did this have to be so hard?

'Talk if you need to, but I can't stay to hear you
That's the wrong thing to do'

"I love you Magnus!"

"I can't." I whispered back. And then I just left. The last thing I heard were the quiet sobs echoing from inside the room.

'Cause you'll say you love me, and I'll end up lying
And say I love you too'
