This is kind of a mini chapter. It's still 'long' but it isn't as long as my chapters usually are. It's still a pretty great chapter though.

I forgot to answer some reviews I wanted to answer a few chapters back so I'm going to do that now.

Manibarilo: to answer your question from chapter 18. It's nice to know someone is paying attention ;)

Theglitterywarlock: I am actually going to write a chapter where Magnus takes them all to Pandemonium. When Max is 21.

XxclaceabethxX: I am actually considering making another story focused fully on Michael and JJ. I just don't know how many people would want that.

I'm glad you all loved JJ so much. I love him a lot too. I would love to hear your opinions on wither or not I should write a seperate story focused on JJ and Michael growing up together. If I do make this it might not be right away.

Born to Endless Love Chapter Twenty-one: A Night Under the Stars!

Max age: 17, Alec age: 37

Max Pov- I stood in front on my full length mirror looking over my appearance for the hundredth time in the last ten minutes. Tonight was a big night and I had to make sure I looked perfect.

Tonight I was doing something I thought I would never be able to do in my life. I'm attending a High school prom. Ebony asked me to escort her to her senior prom and who was I to say no? I was actually super excited to be able to go into the High school for once instead of just standing outside it to wait for everyone.

I asked my dad if I could borrow one of his old Victorian styled suits from the eighteen-hundreds since Ebony was planning on wearing an elegant Victorian styled ball gown. The petticoat and undershirt were both black while my vest was a dark purple with gold swirls on it. My pants were also black and I had a purple top hat to match my vest.

I chose a simple black eyeliner to make my blue eyes pop. Ebony likes when I wear makeup but for tonight I think just the eyeliner will do.

I made my way to the living room and my father put his hand over his heart smiling at me. "look how handsome you are. By the angel you've grown so fast." I smiled at him before looking at my dad. "so do you think I pull off the Victorian style?"

Dad walked around me, looking over my attire before smiling "looks better on you than me." I smiled at him before looking at my phone "Penelope and Quinton should be here any minute. I'm gonna meet Ebony at the school." Father smiled pulling out his phone "good I want to get plenty of pictures."

Dad looked at him with an amused smile "you're one of 'those' parents Alexander?" Father looked at dad "what do you mean?" Dad shrugged smiling "you're going to be that parent who makes their child and their friends take a thousand pictures together in different poses."

Father crossed his arms "I am not going to be one of those parents. I just want a couple pictures. It's not every day our only son goes to prom." "Two days ago you didn't even know what prom was Alec" dad said smirking.

I laughed shaking my head "well in fathers defense I didn't know what a prom was either. Penelope about lost her head when I asked her what it was. She told me it was the most magical day of a young girls' life while Quinton told me it's one of the most terrifying of any guys'. I don't really know who to believe."

"It's said that mundane males spend a lot of money on their dates when it comes to prom night. You have magic so you don't have to worry about that" dad said smiling. "You don't have to worry about that tonight anyway" Father said glancing at dad. "Using magic is stealing Max. You don't steal do you?"

I shook my head smiling "no sir. I simply borrow." Dad laughed shaking his head and he high fived me as father looked at me with a none too pleased expression. "I'm being serious Max. Using magic to make things appear to you is stealing and it's wrong."

Dad nodded smiling "your father is right Max. We Lightwood-banes don't steal." I raised an eyebrow at that "you're just agreeing with him because you don't want him to be mad at you."

The doorbell buzzed making dad smile and go to the door "look at that, your friends are here. Guess this conversation is over huh?" I rolled my eyes at this "for now it is."

He opened the door and both Quinton and Penelope walked in looking absolutely amazing. Penelope's dress was pink (no surprise there) and it was short in the front yet long in the back. The dress was made of beautiful silk and was strapless.

Quinton was as under dressed as you could get at a school dance. He was wearing a suit but the last three buttons of his dress up shirt were unbuttoned and his tie was loose. His hair was styled but less for prom and more for going to the club or something.

He may not have been dressed seriously but it seemed he took his job as Penelope's date really seriously. His dress shirt matched her pink dress and Penny was wearing an expensive looking corsage on her wrist. It was made out of her favorite flowers, roses; and also had pink ribbon to keep it together.

"You two look amazing" I said smiling at them both. Penelope did a dramatic, fashionable twirl before looking over my attire. "We look amazing? Just look at you. You and Ebony are going to stand out tonight for sure."

I laughed "Yeah I get the feeling that no one else will be dressed in eighteen-hundred Victorian attire." Quinton smiled "even so you and Ebony will stand out in all the best ways."

"Okay everyone, get together for I can take a picture" father said holding out his phone to take a photo. I shook my head before standing with my friends; putting my arms around them. Father smiled taking the picture before looking at us again "great now a picture of just Penny and Quin."

I moved out of the way and Quinton got behind Penelope, wrapping his arms around her and looking happily into her eyes. Penny looked back into Quinton's eyes smiling happily and father took the picture. "Perfect now one of just Penelope and Max."

I laughed moving over to Penny and putting my arm around her "father you realize that you're acting the way dad said you would act. I thought you weren't one of 'those' parents." Father rolled his eyes at this "oh just let me have fun will you?"

After all the pictures were taken I crossed my arms looking at both my parents "Can we go now?" Father shook his head no "not yet. There is just one thing left to do. Quinton come here for a moment."

Quinton blinked confused before walking up to them "what is it?"

I was shocked when my father wrapped his arm around Quinton putting a seraph blade by his neck. Dad joined in holding a hand full of fire by his face as well. Quinton looked like he was going to piss himself in fear. I couldn't really blame him.

"Now you listen here Quinton" father said in a deadly serious voice. "This may be prom night but that doesn't mean you can get carried away. I know what you mundane cultured boys think prom night is all about; well I'm here to shoot that idea out of your head. Penelope is like our daughter. That means that if we find out you did something indecent with her on this prom night we will hunt you down and make you pay? Do I make myself clear?"

Quinton swallowed harshly before nodding "yes sir's. I would never think of it."

I watched them before looking back at Penelope wondering what she thought of all of this. She was smiling with tears in her eyes, looking over whelmed with happiness. She didn't have her real dad here to scare the boys so it was only right that her other fathers did it for him.

I smiled at her before looking at my parents "aren't you going to give me the third degree about no sex and all that junk?"

My parents looked at me for a moment before glancing at each other and cracking up laughing. I lost my smile watching as they both were hugging their stomachs from laughing so hard. "What is it? What's so funny?"

My dad stood up straight, wiping a tear from his eyes. "I'm sorry blueberry it's just… you're so innocent we would never even think that you would try to sleep with Ebony. You're too nice to do something like that this soon into your relationship."

I crossed my arms greatly insulted. Sure, everything he said was true but that didn't mean they had to laugh at me and point it out. "You don't know that. I'm not as innocent as you think."

This just made them both laugh again making me frown. Was I really such a good boy that the very idea of me having sex was laughable?

Penelope giggled along with them before clearing her throat and smiling at me "we're going to be late. We should get going before Ebony starts to think you stood her up." I looked at her before sighing and walking to the front door "I'll be back later."

Father smiled waving goodbye "have fun you three."

When we got to the high school I couldn't help but take a moment to stand in front of the entrance doors. I have always seen the outside of the school from my many days of waiting for everyone to get out. Now I was going inside for the first time ever and I didn't know what to expect.

"I'm telling you Max you're building the excitement for this up too much. You're going to be very disappointed with the outcome of your visit. High school isn't as amazing as you tricked yourself into believing" Penelope said watching me.

I shrugged smiling "even so I'm just so excited. I've never been able to go inside before."

Penny watched me looking like she was debating wither or not to tell me something. "What is it" I asked facing her. She stayed silent for a long moment before sighing "you should know that Crystal is going to be here. She's coming with the captain of the football team."

I frowned slightly "I knew she would be here already. Why wouldn't Crystal come to her senior prom?"

Quinton frowned "well isn't it going to be weird for you? I mean your dad pretty much erased her memory of finding out you're a warlock. As far as she knows you two broke up over your sexuality."

"I'm sure that if she didn't dump me for my blue skin, me being a bisexual would have been a deal breaker. Our break up was inevitable. It doesn't matter anymore though because I have Ebony and I'm going to have a great night with her."

"Talking about me are we" Ebony's voice came from behind me.

I smiled excitedly before turning around to look at her, only to freeze in place. I was completely stunned by the absolute beauty standing before me.

Ebony was wearing a navy blue Victorian style ball gown that went all the way to the floor. I couldn't see what shoes she was wearing under her long, thick tulle skirt but I'm sure they were cute. Her hair was in a ponytail but was curled; her hair being so long that the curls sprang down her back in the cutest way.

Her makeup was stunning as well. Black liquid eyeliner on her lids over navy blue eyeshadow. Light pink lip gloss that made her lips pale and beautiful. Glitter was also applied in many places on her skin. I'm guessing she did that because she knows I like a touch of glitter like my dad.

She completed the look with long black lace gloves that covered her arms all the way to her shoulders. She was the most beautiful person I have ever seen in the entire world.

"How do I look" Ebony asked batting her eyelashes at me. I couldn't even give her a response. I was so in awe of her that all I could do was stand and stare. If I didn't realize that I loved Ebony before I definitely knew it now.

"Wow Ebony you look absolutely amazing. Where on earth did you get that dress" Penelope practically squealed.

Ebony smiled grabbing the corners of her dress and holding them up a bit "Magnus helped me find it. He has a great eye for Victorian style."

Quinton elbowed me whispering in my ear "what are you waiting for man? Tell her she looks great."

Ebony looked at me again looking me in the eyes "what do you think Max? Do you like it?"

I searched her eyes, getting out of my dazed state before smiling and grabbing her hands. I didn't know what to say to tell her how I felt so I just said the truth.

"I love you" I said smiling at her.

Her eyes widened as the blush on her face darkened. Her face stayed like that for a few seconds before she smiled sweetly and squeezed my hands in reassurance.

I smiled back at her before looking at Penelope and Quinton. "Are we all going to just stand out here all night or are we going to go to the prom?"

With that all of them cheered loudly and we all made our way inside the building.

The room where the prom was being held was a big gymnasium and it was decorated with dark fabric pinned to the ceiling and little glowing lights hanging down along with some plastic glowing stars.

"The theme is 'a night under the stars'" Penelope said smiling. "I was on the dance committee this year so I came up with the theme. I considered asking you to use magic to make the place look amazing but I thought better of it."

I looked around smiling before looking back at her "I think it already looks amazing the way it is. You did great job."

She smiled at me before grabbing Quinton by the arm, pulling him to the dance floor. I watched them go before looking over at Ebony who was watching me with a smile on her face. Under the false starlight she looked even more amazing.

I bowed playfully, holding out my hand to her "would you like to dance my lady?" She covered her mouth with a gloved hand giggling before grabbing the corners on her dress and doing a slight curtsey "it would be my honor my lord."

I laughed holding my arm out to her and she wrapped her arms around it before we made our way to the dance floor.

We got many looks as we passed by. Some looked amazed at our clothes, some looked disgusted, and some looked down right confused. Even so I thought we looked perfect together.

We got to the middle of the dance floor and I put one hand on her waist before grabbing her right hand, entwining our fingers. She smiled squeezing my hand before putting her free hand on my shoulder.

The song playing was a slow song so we just swayed back and forth getting lost in each other's eyes. "Thank you so much for agreeing to come here with me Max. If you start feeling awkward or out of place, then just tell me and we can leave."

I shook my head smiling "you won't have to worry about something like that. I have always wanted to be included in Penelope and Quinton's high school life. I'm glad my first experience with it is with you."

I could see her blush under the dim lights. "Did you mean what you said out there? Do you really love me?"

I searched her eyes wondering if she was afraid of me loving her. She didn't seem to mind it when I said it outside. "Yes I did mean it. I'm in love with you Ebony."

Her sweet smile returned again and I brought up the question I have been wondering for weeks. "Do you… Do you love me back?"

Ebony seemed surprised by my question as she searched my face. She opened her mouth to answer but got interrupted by an irritating voice saying "you brought him to prom?"

I looked next to me where Crystal was standing with her arms crossed. She was wear a really short white dress and her hair was in a mermaid braid. She looked beautiful but it was ruined by the sour look on her face.

Ebony faced her looking a little mad. It was rare for me to see Ebony mad. "Of course I brought Max with me to prom. He's my boyfriend why wouldn't I invite him?"

Crystal crossed her arms glaring at us both "don't you know what's wrong with him?" My body tensed up at the question. Did she remember that I was a warlock? There was no way dads spell would ware off."

"There is nothing wrong with Max. He's amazing, smart, and kind. I'm lucky to be dating such an amazing guy" Ebony said, coming to my defense.

Crystal's glare got more intense "he isn't capable of loving you, you know. He is into guys too so that means he can't be trusted with anyone. How can you not worry about him cheating on you when every gender is an option?"

Her question made me flash back to the night Quinton and I went into town. I met Andrew Sylvan at a bar and I had to admit he awakened something in me. He was cute, spontaneous, and didn't seem to care that I had a girlfriend. It's true that I liked him a lot but I would never cheat on Ebony with him. The very thought of it was absurd.

"Max would never cheat on me Crystal. I know that Max is bi and I don't care. It's a part of who he is so I won't punish him for that. I love Max and nothing is going to change that, so why don't you go find your date and leave us alone?"

Crystal seemed shocked that Ebony spoke to her that way. Honestly I was shocked too. Ebony was never one for getting angry and telling people off.

Crystal huffed turning away from us "fine, I hope he does end up cheating on you" she said before storming off. I watched her before looking at Ebony "you know I would never cheat on you right?"

Ebony nodded rubbing her temples "yes I know. She obviously doesn't know you at all which just makes me mad. How could she have ever called herself your girlfriend?"

I smiled liking seeing her like this. This flustered annoyance was something I don't think I've ever seen from her. "I didn't know any better. I thought she was a good girlfriend but now that I have the best girlfriend in the world to compare it to it's obvious that she was no right for me."

Ebony looked at me blushing again "you think I'm the best girlfriend in the world?" I nodded "yeah but I think every boyfriend thinks that to some extent. Quinton think's Penelope is the best in the world so I think that's just what love does to you."

I blinked thinking back to the things Ebony said to Crystal and I looked at her shocked "did you… did you tell Crystal that you love me?"

Ebony's pale face was completely shaded in dark red at this point. She glanced away not looking me in the eye. "Um well… yeah."

I smiled at this "so you love me back?"

"I never said that" she mumbled.

"But you did" I said smiling.

"not to you I didn't."

"Then say it to me."

She hesitates on looking at me a moment longer before facing me again, looking deep into my eyes. Her face was still bright red as she said "I love you Max Lightwood-bane."

I smiled putting my hand on her cheek and stepping closer "see now. Was that so hard to say?"

Yeah like I said before, mini chapter. I hope you all liked it though. Can't wait to hear your thoughts.
