Hey everyone! This is the last chapter for Life's Little Mishaps! Will Alec apologize to Max? Will Max know what Robert did? Read this one to find out! :)B
MAGNUS
My heart has been breaking the last few days watching Alexander. While I didn't quite agree with how he was handling the situation with Robert and his family, I did understand why he thought he needed to put himself, and everyone else, through this hell. I had no clue how to help and put the wedding ideas on hold because Alec just wasn't in it anymore. We didn't have date set by any means and I knew we both wanted to wait till I graduated, but there was a lot to figure out so that when we got to the date part, I wouldn't have to do much. I loved planning it and Izzy was trying to keep me in the spirit, but my heart just wasn't in it. Alexander has been spending time at the club trying to work from there and avoiding everyone, even me. I really missed him and we hadn't spent this much time apart ever. This is why I am now sitting in a car outside Robert Lightwood's place of employment.
I wanted my Alexander back and this man was about to get a piece of my mind. I had kept my tongue for three and a half years and I was tired of this man ruining his children. I hadn't told Max why Alec changed his mind so suddenly, even though he's called me loads of times to figure out why his brother was all of a sudden a dick. He was already mad and if he's like the other fucking men in this family, he'd just make it worse anyway. Alec didn't know I was here and I was kind of worried he'd be mad for my coming here. I could make it worse, but I didn't know how else to help him. Izzy was already trying to help and he yelled at her repeatedly. Jace has been to our house and they got into it, which never happens.
This family has always been united, a force against everything, and Robert was slowly crumbling that down and I didn't like watching it. Clary and Simon made me conference with them and made me tell them what was going on. They, like me, hated that man who gave his DNA to the people we loved. I shook my head, trying to get the strength to finish what I came to do. I knew if I just went in, yelling, it wouldn't help anything. I also knew that this man was a one point a good father, someone who held his family above his pride. Pride was a fickle thing and it was going to kill his family. I took the keys out of the ignition and opened the door, slipping my phone into my back pocket before getting walking up to the top floor. I made it to his office to see a very pretty woman sitting on the other side of the elevator. I didn't care though, I was on a mission. I didn't stop as she yelled at me and pushed the door open to see him sitting there with some other guy. I walked up to him and took the cigar out of his mouth and then threw it at him.
"You need to fix him." I stated, not paying attention to the other guy.
Robert Lightwood looked at me and I could see the anger. "Do no tell me what to do, fag. My family is no concern of yours."
I closed my mouth in a tight line and then saw the other man lean forward in interest and smiled.
"Oh no, your son said differently last night. Listen, you don't agree with the fact your son and I are together, that's fine. You hate what we are, whatever. Making your children hate you, them literally falling apart because of your bigotry is not fine. Alexander told Max to leave, told his own brother he wanted nothing to do with the Lightwood baby even though it hurt him. Hurt him so fucking bad you sack of shit. SIT DOWN, I'M NOT DONE." I pushed him back down and then got closer.
"I suggest you rethink every fucking thought you ever had about me and Alexander because Max took you back. You broke your family and it took the youngest to forgive you, to want to work with you. Do you honestly think he's going to want any fucking thing to do with you if we actually tell him why the man he does look up to doesn't want anything to do with him. You're the one threatening the livelihood of your children to the point Alexander is willing to leave everyone that helped him see he's not a bad person. You're the one who's telling him a baby will be one the street if we're around it. You're the one who's the sack of shit and your family will not mourn you because they have Maryse, who as soon as she hears what's wrong with Alexander, will be right here giving you a piece of her mind as well. You did this, you fix it."
I didn't say anything else, just turned to the man in his office. "By the way, I'm Magnus Bane and in love with Alexander Lightwood. Spread it around."
The man looked shocked and then glanced between me and his colleague. I didn't wait to see what was said, I had said my peace and so I nodded to the man that helped create the loving man I had home and walked out of his office. I didn't stop to bid the woman good day, I just walked into the elevator and then went to my car. I sat back and breathed when I finally shut the car door. I still couldn't believe that I did that. I knew Alec would ask and I knew I wasn't going to lie to him. I turned the car on and slowly backed out, making my way back to the house. I stopped by the little Italian place that Alexander loves and picked us up some pasta, texting him to see where he was. I had gotten into the car when I got his text about being at the bar. I text him to let him know I was bringing lunch and then made my way over there. I parked in my spot at Pandemonium and then got grabbed the bag of take out, locking the car and heading in. I unlocked the back door and then made my way to the office. When I looked in I saw him with his head in his hands and almost cried for him.
I walked over to him and sat the bag on the coffee table one way, wrapping him up in me. "What's up, baby?"
He leaned back and let me hold him, which was a lot. We hadn't so much as done anything physical since his run in with Robert, that was how bad this was. It didn't matter what was fought about, what happened, at the end of the day we usually ended with one of us pounding into the other. This time, well, it didn't end that way. He leaned his head back to look at me. "I'm alright." he whispered.
I sighed and kissed his lips lightly. "You're not fine, Alexander. Talk to me before I make it worse."
He looked at me with a puzzled expression and I sigh. I move us and take his hand, leading him to the couch and food. "Sit, eat."
He picked up his meal and sit it on his lap. "Talk."
I let out a breath and sigh. "Alright, but just listen before you get angry. I had to do something, I hate seeing you like this and it's hurting me because it hurts you. (he nodded) I went to see Robert this morning."
I watched what little color my man held in his face leave as he looked at me. "You have to understand, I didn't know how to help you. I just went tell him to fix it, that this was his fault. Please don't be mad, Alec. I love you and I can't see you like this. I didn't know what else to do."
I looked down because I knew he may blow up. Robert Lightwood was a sore subject for us and he didn't like me being around that man, especially when he wasn't there to protect me when/if it would be needed. I felt his hand touch my cheek and the turned my fact to look him in the eyes. I saw a bit of upset there, but also the understanding. "He didn't do anything to you?"
I shook my head. "I didn't give him the opportunity. I told him to fix it, it was his fault. I may have yelled a bit for him to stay sitting down, and then told the other guy my name and how I loved the oldest Lightwood, but Robert just stared. I don't think he knew I could be as wordy as you since I never talk to him."
I watched his eyes as he took him what I told him and I was hoping he didn't yell at me. Sometimes it was just as bad to have him sitting there, but I was crossing my fingers that this wasn't one of those times. He pulled me to him and kissed me. "I get it. Thank you, baby. Just...not again, ok?"
I just smile. "Alright. Can you talk to Max now? We can't have him win, Alec. Your family is real confused and, oh hell, I don't know. They've tried getting me to tell them. I just don't know what to say. You without them isn't you, darling. I miss you."
He smiled just a bit and sighed. "I miss me too. I'm just trying to figure out how to help Max without Robert cutting him off as well, Magnus. I don't want to never see my niece or nephew, I want to marry you, I want my family to be there, and I want my father to actually care about us more than himself. I just don't know how to get all that."
I took the food and sat it on the table, we weren't eating it anyway, and pulled him to me. I just held him as he tried not to break again. I had never seen my guy so distraught over things, ever. He always kept a level head and did what he said he was going to do, seeing him out of his element was just leaving him confused and uncomfortable.
"Alec."
We turned to see Max standing there with Jordan. I went to move, but Alec kept me with him. He just nodded for Max to come in and Jordan smiled, saying something about letting the beer guy in. Max walked over and looked at his brother. "Dad call me, told me what he told you."
We stood there, not talking. I wasn't giving my hopes up that Robert was actually going to fix anything, but one could hope. Alec just nodded at his brother and then Max continued.
"I told him he didn't have a right to threaten me like that just to get what he wanted. That just because you and he didn't get along didn't mean that we wouldn't have. He told me he was scared about the baby being around you two and I told him that didn't matter. I told him that before you kicked us out that mom offered to let us stay there until I got a place. She thought it'd be easier since you and Magnus were planning the wedding and being all together, to give you space. That the baby wasn't going to be raised in your home."
Alec kept his eyes on his brother. "What did he say?"
Max smiled. "That the queer actually made a good point. It wasn't your faults that we didn't always want to be around him. He apologized and I told him it didn't matter to me because I wasn't the one he's been hurting. I told him he needed to fix things with you. Don't know if he will but he told me I sounded like Magnus. I told him that was good because Magnus was the best thing to happen to Alec."
I looked up at Max, who smiled at me. "Thanks, Max."
He just nodded. "I meant it. You helped him better than anyone ever could."
Alec let go of me and hugged his brother. They both apologized and I was just happy Max was getting to stay with Robert. The last few days were a lot to get through, but we got through them together. Maybe everything would work out, maybe it wouldn't, but this little mishap was closed and now Alexander and I could have our happily ever after!
The brother's are alright! Thank you to everyone that reviewed and favored! I hope you liked this one. I admit, the controversy wasn't as detailed as I thought it would be and some will not like how I ended, but as I have said before...I end where my heart says it's time to. I already have another that I'm working on so hopefully soon I can get some of that up as well! Till the next story, lovelies! :)B
