A/N: How are you on this fine day?

runwithwarlocks: He did, a bit, but he had a right to do it. He bolted everything inside and Lacey said a word too much. I will do that one-shot. Around next week.

Emma: If you have a tumblr you can write to me and I can give you an epub version of COHF.

red wolf: She is. You're right, he bolted everything inside and it was a matter of time when he'll snap. I can't tell if he's going to feel better. And yeah, COHF was for me as well as ...Oh fuck...

kokosz: Lacey już taka jest. A czy spodziewałabyś się po Magnusie by nie rzucił sztuki kiedy go naprawdę wkurzyli? Alec, nawet chory jest superodpowiedzialny. I bez obaw. Przeżyłam film, i nie jestem rozchwiana emocjonalnie.

Chapter XXV

"An old drama will always find a way to get back to you"

Today was a really crazy day since the morning. Not only I overslept, first time since a while. But my mother told me that she has a new 'friend'. A male friend. She said that as I was a five year old.

"You mean you have a lover mom?" she was crazy blushing while she nodded.

"I'd like you to meet him" I was finishing my dinner before I go to Alec. "Tomorrow, on the dinner ok? Would it be ok, if you won't visit Alec tomorrow?"

"Yeah. It's ok mom"

After a small talk with mom I made my way to the hospital. There I spotted Isabelle with Alec, laughing at some photos from Alec's childhood.

"Look Magnus, how Alec was cute as a baby" she tossed me a photo where Alec was grinning to the camera, with sunflowers in his hand.

"Awww…baby" Alexander covered his face in hands "You were so adorable. Not that it changed now. You're still so cute"

"Please…"

"Oh! I have some news" both Izzy and Alec looked confused at me. "You're not going to believe darling"

"what is it Mags?"

"My mom has a boyfriend" there was a silence for a while in the room, before Alec spoke, making a place for me on the bed.

"I don't see why not" he started. "Your mom is a very beautiful woman. Many men would like to date her"

"She's my mom Alec…"

"My oh my Alec" Isabelle interrupted smirking to us "Already complimenting your future mother – in – law?"

As Izzy started to laugh her ass off, Alec went scarlet on his face. She loved to tease him, and he was so easy to tease about everything. Even the smallest things.

"Anyway" Izzy finally managed to stop laughing "Tell us more about this new man of your mom. Is he hot? How old is he?"

"Well… I haven't seen him yet. Nor I know how old is he" they nodded "But I'm going to meet him tomorrow. So honey I can't come tomorrow. But I call you in the evening"

"It's ok Maggie"

"But apparently his son is or was in our school. So mom thinks that I know him"

"Did she tell his name? That son?" inquired Alec.

"No. She wanted me to meet them both tomorrow. Officially"

…

"I'm gonna go for a coffee" I said, looking at Alec consumed with some book. Jace was watching some show and typing with someone, I bet with Clary. "Jace you want some?"

"Yeah. Thanks. Black with sugar and milk"

When I was standing in front of a slot machine, waiting for Jace's coffee, I had a feeling that someone was observing me. Really carefully I looked around but there was no one in the hallway. I shrugged my arms and took our coffees. As I made my way back, I still felt observed by something. And it was making me annoyed and scared as well. Once again I looked around, but still there was no one here, except for some medical staff. In the corner to 'our hallway' as I call it, I heard some whisper. But I couldn't understand it. and then I heard a voice that was familiar to me. Too much familiar.

"You still look so fuckable Magnus"

Dear lord, my heart stopped at that.

My body tensed. My breath quickened. Coffees fell out of my hand, splashing all over the floor. I was afraid to make any move. Soon I felt his cold breath on my neck. His hand was trailing my right arm. My eyes watered in one second. Slowly he turned me to himself. When I finally took a good look on him, everything came back to me on a cue.

Right in front of me, stood a boy, a man from my worst nightmares.

Oliver Haywire.

"Missed me Magnus?" I breathed with difficulty. It was like I couldn't get an air to my lungs. He leaned closer to me, making me shiver all over my body and he whispered "I missed you so much"

"I…I…I hav…have to…go…" I stuttered when Oliver was caressing my cheek with his fingers. It was a gentle touch, but I was shaking in a fear. The things that he used to do to me, were printed in my mind. It was like I was getting back in the time. Like I was fifteen again. The afraid Magnus. Afraid of Oliver.

"You're not going anywhere" he pushed me to the nearest wall, pinning me with his body. I started to struggle, but I knew it was pointless. He could easily overpower me. He was stronger. Not only physically, but mentally too. I swallowed hard, when his hand touched my neck.

"Please…let go of me…"

"You're still so delicious" he was nuzzling his nose over my neck, as I was stiffed in a place. I was praying for someone to come by, even if he didn't do anything hurtful to me yet. "Makes me want to taste you. Did you miss our fun?"

"No…" I whispered.

"I bet that new boy-toy of yours can't fuck you like I did, right?" I refused to do anything, to even look at him. but Oliver thought otherwise. He painfully grabbed my chin, and even if I was taller than him, he made me look at him, straight into those evil brown eyes. "He's not giving you the pleasure like I did, right?"

"Please…let me go…"

"Can he make you scream like I did?" his hand was going down my chest. And lord, from my eyes were running tears. I wanted to scream now, for help, but I couldn't find my voice. It was muted. "He can't, can he? No one can. And you know why?"

He moved his other hand in my spiked hair, tugged it hard, making me hiss from a pain. One of his hand was placed on the belt of my pants.

"Because you are mine. You always were and always be. You belong to me!" Oliver hit a wall next to my head, with his one hand, making me jump and squeak. "You belong to me!"

"I…I belong with Alexander…" the small whisper found a way out from my mouth. And in the next second I prayed that he wouldn't kill me, as his hand tightened on my throat. In that very moment I started to think about my sweet Alexander. About how I love him. how he love my screwed self. How we're happy.

"Magnus…" the voice was stern and familiar. And boy, this was the moment that I was the happiest in my life. Oliver let go of me and turned to the person. He was glaring him, and the other boy was glaring him as well. From time to time he was glancing at me. "Everything ok?"

"I…"

"Alec sent me for you…"

"So you're his new whore?" interrupted Oliver with a disdain in his voice "You always liked blondes. Like that bitch Camille"

"Jace…let's go…"

"Who the fuck are you?" the younger Lightwood came closer to me, and grabbed my shaky hand in his. He wanted to draw me away from Oliver, but the other didn't let him.

"Who am I? Who the hell are you boy?"

"Jace please…" the blonde stood next to me and pushed Oliver back off from me. Haywire had anger in his eyes, as he was looking at me and Jace. "Let's go back…please…please Jace…"

"We'll see each other soon, Magnus" Oliver hissed at me, as Jace tugged me away from the hallway.

After we were in closer to Alec's room, I felt very light. In no time I was kneeling on the floor, struggling with catching a breath. My world was spinning. I felt that my arms, hell, my whole body was trembling. In my mind there was still a face of Oliver, looking possessive at me.

"Magnus! Magnus!" Jace's voice was somewhere around me, but I couldn't concentrate on it. some hands were on my cheeks, and my head was raised. Some gold points were in front of me. But the rest of it was blurry. Finally I started to recognize more things. Jace was kneeling in front of me, holding my arms, and trying to get a reaction from me. "Magnus focus on me. Come on Magnus. Breathe, in and out, in and out, in and out"

I don't know how long I was hyperventilating but eventually I managed to calm my breath, heart and body down. Jace was muttering something and rubbing my arms, as an attempt to comfort me. Jace's phone started to ringing, it was Alec.

"Yeah, yeah, we'll be back soon. Magnus just went to the bathroom" the rest of it I didn't hear, as I breathed deeply, slowly. Tears that ran down my face now soaked my shirt. The rest of them I wiped away. Jace helped me get up but for a moment longer we stood there in a silence. I was glad that Jace didn't ask about anything. Because I couldn't even manage a word. "Are you ok Magnus?"

I just nodded and we went inside Alec's room. In there Alexander in a moment knew that something is odd.

"What happened?" none of us spoke. "Magnus, honey, you're white as a ghost. What happened?"

"He just met some guy in the hospital…"

"Who was that? Maggie, sweetie?" Alec took me in his arms and led me to the bed. The worry on his face was obvious. "Honey talk to me, please"

When I stayed silent, he looked at Jace.

"How did the guy looked like Jace?"

"Brown hair, brown eyes. Weird dude" Jonathan was saying "He was holdi…"

"Oliver" I whispered. "It was Oliver"

Alec's blue eyes darkened, they were almost black from an anger now. He fisted his hands, making his knuckles white. I could hear as his heart started to rapid.

"Are you ok Mags? Did he hurt you? I swear if he laid a finger on you, he's dead"

"He didn't…Jace came…" I snuggled up to Alec, probably crushing his bones a bit too much, but I needed him. Needed his closeness. His scent, a sweet scent mixed with citrus from the air freshener, calmed me. I let myself being surrounded by it, by him.

"It's okay now, love, it's ok. I'm here" he soothed my back, kissing my forehead. "He's not going to hurt you again. I'm here".

At some point I fell asleep in Alec's arms, only to be woken up later by him telling me that visiting hours are over and I have to go home.

"I'll call you tomorrow baby" we kissed slowly, and passionately, making Jace gag on us "I love you"

"I love you too"

According to Alec's order, Jace drove me back home, staying in the car until I closed the door. Making sure that I'm safe, for his brother.

…

The next day, after school, I was helping mom preparing a dinner. She decided to go all fancy. She made a parmesan chicken, a tart with strawberries. She bought a semi-sweet red wine. I was setting the table when she went to dress herself. When she came back I was truly astonished. My mom, in her early forty, looked really good. She put today a really beautiful ecru knee-length dress. High black heels. Her long black hair were in locks. Slightly make-up. Only an eyeliner and some mascara. Caramel lipstick. She even wore her the best perfume, that she bought last year in Paris.

"Mom…you look fantastic"

"You think so baby?"

"Yeah…" she smiled shyly at me. Sometimes I wondered from whom I inherited my outgoing self. "Do you need me to go out tonight to Ragnor? So you could have home for yourselves?"

"Magnus Bane!" I couldn't not smile at her, as she blushed "I'm not…we don't…"

"Mom…I'm not five. I know what people do. I even do it"

"I don't need to know what you're doing with Alec" there was a ring bell, and mom went to open the door "I heard you once"

When she opened the door there stood two men. The older was a blonde, with brown eyes. And the younger had brown hair and chocolate eyes.

He seemed to be somehow familiar to me, but I couldn't come up with his name.

"Michael, hello" they exchanged kisses on cheeks. "And you must be Chris. Come on in"

Both of them came inside. The other boy was clearly uncomfortable, and he was eyeing me warily.

"This is my son, Magnus. Magnus this is Michael Cartwright and his son Christopher" mom introduced us. I shook my hand with both of them, before we made our way to the dining room.

Never in my life I was in such an uncomfortable and awkward dinner. No one spoke. The atmosphere was bitter. This Chris guy, he was familiar to me, but it was hard for me to recognize him. Mom was begging me with her eyes to say something, I could tell.

"So…Mr. Cartwright…"

"You can call me Michael, Magnus" he interrupted.

"Right…so Michael…how long you're with my mom?"

"About six months" I looked in a disbelief at the said woman "We met in her restaurant"

"Mom…why didn't you tell me?"

"You were busy with your own life honey" she smiled and grabbed my hand "Lately you're barely home"

"Is that your other son?" inquired Michael, looking at the photo on the cabinet. Ah, the photo of me and Alec from a carnival. "I don't remember you saying that you have two sons"

"Oh no" mom explained "That's Alec, Magnus's boyfriend"

And now I was waiting for those disgusting looks of Michael and Chris. But I was shocked when there was none. sure they were surprised a bit.

"I knew that I remembered you from somewhere" Chris spoke for the first time. I looked at him confused "You were Oliver's boyfriend"

In one moment all blood drained from my face. In that second I remembered him. he was at some parties that me and Oliver went. He was the only one that knew about us.

"Yeah…"

"Did you know that he came back to the city?" Chris smiled at me. I was sure as hell that he never really knew what Oliver was doing to me. "I bet he'll be happy to hear that…

"Maybe I'll show you my room, what do you say Chris?" I didn't even give him a time to say no to me. I dragged him upstairs, and shut the door behind us. He was confused as he looked around. "Look Chris…don't say a word to Oliver about me, ok? Please"

"I thought that you two…"

"What we had was a past. A really bad past. And I don't want to see him ever again"

"He was rather happy to hear that you're still living here and attending to the school" my eyes were wide opened. So that son of a bitch was following me? "my step - sister told him about you. But she never mentioned your boyfriend. Maybe he wanted to get back to you. But hey" he bumped my arm "This could never work. He's going back to Germany in next week. To finish his collage"

…

For the next week I was avoiding…ok, that's too big word. Let's say that I didn't bumped at Oliver at all. Whenever I was in the hospital, Alec made sure that Jace was driving me home or Robert. But one day, just before I went to visit Alec, he approached me. Before he had even a chance to say a word, to do something to me, I finally got a courage to stand up for myself.

"You have no right to touch me! you have no right to speak to me! you hurt me! I could report you! But I don't want to have anything to do with you! You are a scum! A fucking abusive bitch, who likes to hurt weaker people! But I won't be afraid anymore! I won't be! You told me once that no one will love me like you! You were right, no one loves me like you did. But I found someone who love me more! Who love me whole! Who love me the way I am! And who I love truly! Who don't hurt me the way you did! You don't deserve for anyone's love! Because you are a bastard! And I pity you, because I, after what you did to me, was able to move on. But you, you always will be a boy who used other people to release your anger, because he was scared himself!"

I walked away from him, leaving him speechless. With my head raised and a certainty in me I went inside the hospital.

Finally I was free. Free from my own drama and fears. I was free.

A/N: Did you like it?

I think we missed some drama in this story, don't you think so?

Now, tell me, how many of you at some point thought that the said 'son, who is or was in Magnus's school' could have been Oliver? (believe me at first I wanted to do it. but my cousin said that it would be a sick twist. )

Ah, and really important note.

There is only ONE chapter and an Epilogue left. yes, we came to the end.

So the next one hopefully on Tuesday, if not then Wednesday for sure. (I have my finals projects to do, so I could pass my second year of collage)

Review if you feel like to

Lots of love
