I don't own the characters. They belong to Cassandra Clare.
So without further ado: Enjoy :D
Chapter 36: A Broken Heart
I laid my arm over her shoulders and lead her to the couch. She sat down and pulled her knees up to her chest. Magnus and I sat down next to her at each side. We hugged her until her sobs decreased. When she had finally calmed down enough to speak she said to us: "I'm sorry. It's just I can't stand all the happiness at the moment."
"But tell us, what happened?" Magnus tried to make her talk.
"It's Bella and me." She began to sob again. "It's over."
"Do you want to talk about it?" I was still hugging her. She forced herself to stop sobbing and nodded carefully.
"Bella and I had a really nice evening yesterday. We watched A Walk to Remember together and it was so romantic and we cuddled together watching Landon fighting for Jamie. But after the film we cuddled closer and more." She blushed and something inside of me screamed at me to run away.
"Were you fine with this?" Magnus asked, suppressing the same feelings I had.
"At first, yes. I even encouraged her to run her hands under my shirt." I had to force my hands to stay were they were, so I wouldn't press them over my ears. "We kissed and it was nice. But when her hands finally touched my breasts," I couldn't suppress a small growl at the thought of someone touching my daughters breasts. "It felt wrong." She continued, ignoring me.
"What did you do?" Magnus asked. I could hear in his voice he wasn't comfortable to hear this, just like me.

Magenta POV
"Bells stop it" I said. I didn't know why, but somehow it wasn't right. It felt off.
"To early?" Bella asked concerned and removed her hands. As soon as they weren't at my breasts anymore I immediately felt lighter.
"I don't know Bells." I told her honestly. "It's awkward."Tears shimmered in her eyes at my words. I scowled at myself for even bringing it up.
"What do you mean awkward?"
"It wasn't right. I can't really describe it." Now she seemed to get angry.
"What do you mean 'not right'? You're my girlfriend. Girlfriends do stuff like that. We're supposed to sleep together by now. I thought you loved me?"
"I do. But I can't have sex with you." I admitted. When she mentioned Sex I had felt even worse. Even the thought about it was wrong. But I did love her, right?
"We can't have sex. What sort of relationship works like that? A none existent one. It's over." Tears were now streaming over both our faces. At her words my heart shattered into a million pieces.
"No, you can't do that. Maybe it'll change." I tried to convince her.
"If you can't feel it now, you never will. Now get out." She hissed the last part at me and I took my things and fled from her.
"I screwed it up." She finished her story. I was furious. How dare that bitch break up with my baby. I had warned her not to hurt her but still she had. I jumped up and was already at the door when Magnus voice held me back.
"Alexander. Stay."
"But –" I tried to protest.
"Don't visit her. It's non of your business." Magenta supported him. "And it's not her fault."
"Of course it is." I argued but Magnus silenced my with one look.
"I'm gonna make a hot chocolate." I sighed in defeat. Hot chocolate was one of Magenta's favorite drinks and it helped her all the time. I wandered to the kitchen and while the milk cooked on the stove I considered it. Maybe Magenta wasn't made to be with a girl. Hopefully she didn't feel pressured by us.
When I went back to my family and handed Magenta her chocolate she was calmer than before. But I still needed to make sure she was really fine.
"Darling, I don't want to offend you but are you sure you're bisexual? I mean you don't feel pressured into liking you own gender? Because we'll love you either way. Just because it was right for us to be homosexual doesn't mean you have to be."
"Dad, I know you don't care." She hugged me. "It's just you two look so happy all the time. And every hetero relationship in our school ended horrible with at least one of the two involved crying his heart out. I didn't want that for me."
"Look at Izzy and Simon. Or Jace and Clary. Their relationships just work fine. It's not the gender that defines the relationship it's the people who are involved. It can be different for all people. I needed 800 years to find my true love. For Alec it was his first love." Magnus helped me.
"I don't want to wait fucking 800 years. I want to be happy now." Magenta replied stubbornly.
"You can be happy without love. I was happy for the most time of my life. I had great friends and you also have your family. You have us. And when the time comes you also have your love. You will know when you find him or her. You don't have to force it." Magnus sounded so wise when he said those words but they were true.
"Thank you." She said and one look at her face told me that she had calmed down and accepted fate. "I'll give Bella some time but I'll apologize. She means the world to me as a friend. I hope we can go back to being best friends." She mumbled before she fell asleep. She must have wandered around the whole night for she only came home in the morning. No wonder she was tired as hell.
I lifted her and brought her into her bed. Magnus followed and covered her in her blanket. We kissed her on her forehead and left her to sleep.
"No one told me dealing with a teenage girl was so exhausting." Magnus groaned. "Now that we mended her broken heart I wonder what comes next?"
