Okay everyone here is the second chapter! Hope you all join. :)

And by the way, thank you to everyone who reviewed. You guys flatter me too much. But don't be shy to keep them coming. Haha :)

Thanks to Izzy/Isclanel for being my beta and fixing my crazy errors.

Chapter Two

I'm an idiot.

Even Chairman could feel my anxiety. He was on the bed with me, next to my head on the yellow and acid green, goose feather stuffed pillow. He circled and circled my head as if every time his snow white fur brushed me, he was making me feel better.

It didn't.

Well maybe it did a little.

I turned over in my baby blue pajama pants for what seemed like the hundredth time and brought him into my arms, practically crushing him into my chest while he licked my neck with affection and happiness.

Seven years with this little creature. I can surely say he's been the best pet I've had in so long. I sighed.

It was times like these when I wished I wasn't Magnus Bane. Sometimes I hated being Magnus Bane if only for a second. I know, I know, please hold your gasps of astonishment.

I honestly wished I wasn't an immortal. After reading so many book and quotes about how being immortal is worse than death makes me a bit angry and depressed. I mean, I live it, so why must everyone and everything remind me?

I wished I wasn't such an abomination in the eyes of the humans who saw me with the glamour I put on myself.

It was times like these when I realized how alone I really was. I didn't have anybody to talk to without worrying about keeping a certain façade, typically of the party boy / I'm-so-flamboyantly gay variety. I didn't have anyone to anyone to just go have coffee with, no one to come over to the loft and just see how everything is.

I mean, really, who was here to tell me how those zebra printed jeans look with that cashmere sweater?

Well, I had Isabelle, but now she probably wanted nothing to do with me anymore since I told Alec I wanted nothing to do with him anymore.

I didn't think it would be hard. I mean I'd been without him for centuries before, and Alec had his whole beautiful life ahead of him. He would meet somebody, somebody normal.

Usually B.A., which in Bane speak means 'before Alec', I would toss these thoughts out of my head immediately, crack open some wine and start the flyers for the big bash that was to be held here, and at the party when all these people would show, I would think "I'm Magnus Bane bitch, all these people know and love me."Then they would leave and the thoughts rushed back with me realizing how much of a hoax it all was.

I admired Alec and who he was more than I would ever want to admit to anyone other than him.

My phone rang on its place on the floor as I was thinking that I wasn't too fond of all this emo-ness. I was debating whether or not to answer; I mean it was three in the morning, who calls this late? I could be in peaceful sleep right now.

Then again I always answered my phone, without fail. It could be a child of Lilith on the brink of death that needs my expertise or that old guy that tells me I just won a million dollars.

Hey, it could happen.

I answered to a disgruntled and pissed "Downworlder." He spat the word out as if I really was the bane of his existence. I cleared my throat, not wanting him to hear the sleep and vulnerability in my voice.

"What do you want Shadowhunter? Do you have any idea what time it is! This better be important." I growled the last sentence for effect.

"It's Alec."

Approximately thirteen seconds later I was jumping off the bed, flinging the sheets and Chairman Meow onto the hardwood floors and jamming my lanky arms into my green peacoat.

The last thing I thought while slamming my door closed and putting myself into the still busy streets was that I loved that I was Magnus Bane and got a cab to the Institute.
