Here's the last chapter of New Beginning.
PS. IMPORTANT INFO AT THE END.
I was sitting on my bed, staring down at the items laying before me; A plane ticket to Paris and a simple silver band. I tried to decide for the past week, which I should chose. I had only two days until I have to go back to Paris, but frankly, I wasn't sure if I wanted to do it.
The two weeks with Alec and my family had passed so fast, I didn't have time to even enjoy being with them, because I had this horrible dread about the decision I had to make. And that decision was even harder to make because of Rick and his attempts to get into my boyfriend's pants. That dick just had no limits. He has been calling Alec nonstop, trying to act so innocent, but I knew the real reasons behind his simple 'let's go out, like friends, you, me and Jacky'. Thankfully Alec denied every single time, saying that he missed me too much and wanted to spend as much time with me as he could before I leave again.
Before I leave him again.
For the past three days I have been wondering if I'm ready to do it. I wanted them to be proud of me, but my heart wanted other things. And I feel like I'm being torn apart. No one could help me. I had to have a heart to heart with myself, even if it sounded really great.
"Magnus, honey, Alec is here to see you." I heard my mom's voice coming from downstairs.
"I'm in my room!" a few moments later, Alec knocked softly on the door and came inside. I quickly hid the ticket and band under a pillow and looked at my boyfriend. I smiled softly, when I saw his beautiful eyes now full of sparks. "Hey."
"Hi, have you seen my boyfriend lately? Tall, hot, you know walking sex." Alec laughed, sitting down on my bed.
"Actually I happen to see him." I smiled back at him.
"Good, so maybe you know why he has been avoiding me for the past two days?" Asked Alexander.
"Because he didn't know what to do?" I questioned silently. Alec's eyebrow quirked up, as he moved himself closer and grabbed my hand in his.
"Mags, what's wrong? Are you still upset about that Rick thing? I told you that…"
"It's not just that." I cut him off. "It's everything. I'm not sure if I want to go back to Paris."
"What?" he was clearly confused and caught off guard by my words. "Magnus…"
"Look…you want to know what Rick told me when I met him?"
"You met him?" I nodded. "Why?"
"I just wanted to settle things with him. I told him to stay away from you, and you know what he told me? He said that I may be here for two weeks, but then I'm off to Paris and he'll have a free way to get into your pants…"
"You think I'll let him? Don't you trust me?"
"I trust you, it's other guys I don't trust." He sighed and touched my cheek with his hand. "Alec do you think we can survive? That we can do the long-distance thing again?"
"We've managed pretty well for the past four months." He said, smiling.
"Yeah, four months, but now…now I have one more month to finish the course, then I start collage there and you're going to Toronto…do you really think that our relatonship can survive for the next four years?" Alec was silent for a while, so I continued. "I would like to believe that we can do it. I'd like to believe that our relationship's so strong, that we can do it. That nothing will break us apart…but…"
"There's no but." He said firmly. "I love you, and I know you love me. I do believe that our love is strong enough that it will survive such a distance. But I understand your fears, I have my own too." At that words of Alec I looked at him confused. "I'm afraid that you'll find someone better there, and that you'll dump me anyday. I often wonder if there's someone that you may give in to. I mean, we're both young, we have our needs I don't hide it. We both need some physical contact, and…"
"I never cheated on you, I thought I did but I never…" it escaped my mouth.
"I know, but I wonder how long we'll be restraining ourselves before we just act on instinct." He said. "But that's normal, I know you think that too." He was saying. I nodded. "But asides from that I know that my heart belongs to you, Magnus Bane. And that you're the one for me. And if you're willing to give us a shot, I'm willing to do everything to keep our relationship going."
"I don't want to lose you, just because I'm not here."
"I don't want it too. But I love you and I won't let you go that easily." Alec stated firmly.
"Me either." He leaned down to kiss me, and I let him. the kiss was sweet and so passionate. When we pulled away, I put my hands on his cheeks and looked him in the eyes. "Say honestly, Alec, would you like me to stay here, in New York?"
"If I'd say no, that would be a big lie, but I want you to follow your dreams as well. I won't ask you to stay here with me, because I would be a selfish dick." He was saying. "You deserve what's best in this world, and I want you to have it all. I know that I can't give you all, but there's one thing that I can give you."
"What?" I chocked on my own tears, that slowly were pushing themselves out of my eyes.
"I can give you a promise. A promise that I will wait for you, here or Toronto, it doesn't matter. I will wait for you, Magnus. I will. I promise."
"I love you, Alexander. I love you." I crushed my lips over his, and we spent the rest of the night in my bed.
Two days later have come the dreadful moment.
We were standing in the airport, me, mom, dad and Alec. It was almost like all those months ago. Tears were streaking down my face, when Alec and I said bye to each other.
And then it was time to leave.
"Ticket, please." Said the lady. I was about to give it to her, when I looked again at Alec and the sad smile on his lips. Then I looked at the ticket in my hand and it hit me.
I had two gates to choose, two ways of being happy, two ways of the possible future.
And now it was the time to choose correctly.
I closed my eyes, took a deep breath and listened into my heart.
"Sir, are you going?"
"I'm sorry, I have a bigger happiness waiting for me." I spun on my heel and ran back to Alec, who was utterly confused by such actions.
"The hell, Mags? Your flight is in a few minutes!"
"I don't care. I'm not going." Now all of my family looked strange at me. "The school can go fuck themselves, I'm staying here with you. I can find some collage in USA. But I'm not letting you go." I fished out a silver band from my pocket and pushed in onto Alec's finger. "Marry me, Alexander."
"What?" I heard dad's voice, mixed with Alec's and mom's.
"Magnus…"
"Marry me, Alexander. You promised to wait for me. I promise to follow you whenever you go. I'll stay with you, by your side, just say yes."
"But your school…your dream, your happiness…" he was rambling.
"This is my happiness." I raised his hand with the band up. "You are my happiness, not some school. I'm tired of being there by myself, I want to be with you."
"Yes." He whispered, kissing me passionately. "I will marry you, Magnus."
"Amaz…"
"But you're going to Paris anyway. You have a school to finish, and then, we'll figure it all out. Ok?" I nodded. "Now go, and I'll be here, waiting for you."
"Ok! Mr. soon-to-be-Bane." I grinned at him, and Alec shook his head.
"You are so mistaken, Mags. You'll be Mr. Lightwood." When I wanted to say something more, he dragged me to the gate, where the lady stood. "Wait! He's going."
"You're lucky sir, a minute later and I wouldn't let you in."
"Go, Mags, and I remember, that I'm waiting here for you, my love."
"I love you, Alexander." I couldn't say more, because I was led by the lady to the plane.
The last month of school passed quickly, and when I finally came back home for good, me and Alec could start to live together, soon as a married couple.
We could started our new beginning.
