Chapter 8-Lies-Magnus
We moved forward inch by inch until finally I locked lips with that blue eyed beauty. He stared at me, eyes open but as I closed mine I reached up and closed his too. A kiss was something you were meant to feel not see. I didn't pry. I didn't push him further, we just stay there until I pulled away.
"You're really important to me." Alec whispered in my ear.
"Well you're pretty important to me too Alexan- Alec." I mentally slapped myself for almost calling him that. "I'm sor-"
"Don't." Alec interrupted giving me a quick peck. "I like how you say it… just don't say anything around anyone else."
I instinctively moved back a little breaking us apart. "Say anything about what?"
"The kiss, Alexander," He says copying my tone "and me being gay."
"But Alec I know we haven't been at school," I say caringly "but you can't hide forever. And I know we've known each other for just over a month, but I don't need a relationship with you to know how I feel. Some things you just know and this is one of those."
"I feel the same way but please Magnus," Alec says with a sigh, "just one more year."
I just nod. The past couple weeks I have been the most serious I have been in my life, because of him and because I could be that monster, I don't think that thought will ever go away.
After a couple minutes of silence I look at the clock. It's 6:01. I realise we're late. But as I start dragging (okay well more shouting at him while I try to walk quicker.) Alec out the door he says "Izzy's taking us all out to dinner. We have until six thirty."
"Thank god!" I start walking towards the vanity and Alec fake coughs. "Don't worry Darling, I'm going for natural!" I pick up a few light shade and place them in front of me, I decided to style my hair lightly so it's not in spikes just off my face. When I hear Alec turn on the shower I pull out my phone and text Tessa, a girl in my English who I have gotten very close with.
Could you pop up to my dorm with those clothes I ordered please ;) x
And even before I get a reply or Alec's put the shower she's at the door with a box. I hobble over and thank her as she says she put the money on my tab in the shop. After giving me the box she goes.
I turn around and Alec is there. "What the hell is that."
"Come here and help me to find out." I reply because I still can't put my own clothes on. Alec crosses the room and opens the box. I lay the outfit onto the bed. There's a pair of black vans, a red tight tank top with a leather jacket and a pair of black skin tight leathery looking jeans.
"You won't be able to fit these on." Alec says pointing at the jeans. I don't reply I just laugh. There's a silver zip that looks like it's there for detail winding it's way up the left leg, but I know what it does. I undo it then nod to Alec for help. He helps me take off my old ones but when I start to take off my boxers he says "Not a chance!"
"Fine but they won't fit otherwise." Alec faces the wall as I discard them. I then pull the jeans up the right, undamaged leg getting all the way up, after that I get the zip from the top of the left and the fabric comes together around it. But when it gets to my cast I simply fold the rest of the fabric up and put it in the medium pouch that slots into the little room I have at the back of my cast.
I get changed into the rest of the outfit. Adding a little red glitter to my eyes but not so much it overpowers the natural look. Alec turns around and is shocked about what he's seeing but there's no way I'm telling him my secret.
"Okay off to dinner then?" I say picking up my newly painted black crutches.
We meet up with Jace and the team outside the school gates. Izzy rushes over to Alec straight away, I wonder what all the fuss is about. She begins to speak "Oh my god! Hi guys, sorry I have to talk to Alec to talk about his new girl!" The sentence didn't make sense but I got enough out of it Alec and Girlfriend. Alec looks at me apologetically but I can't keep eye contact, he shouldn't live his life a lie. As we start to walk into town Clary comes up to me.
"You really like him don't you." She says as she hugs me.
"Yes Clary, I do."
"Don't worry, plenty more fish in the sea, we've got to get you your flamboyant streak back!" Clary continues nudging me. "Just enjoy tonight! You may not be his type but plenty of people think different!" She's smiling now and I can't help but smile back she's so caring but all I can think is the same three words: But he is. But he is, he is, he is.
