Chapter Sixteen: Stalker.

We pulled up outside the Institute, I could see someone on the doorstep. Mum? I stepped out of the car and looked around at the others, Raphael and Izzy were already walking towards the doors and Magnus looked sad. 'What's wrong?' I asked.

'I wanted to open the door for you.' I laughed.

'Aww, you can open it for me next time.'

'Promise?' Magnus was trying not to laugh, I put my arm around his waist.

'I promise.' He kissed me on the forehead and we walked to the door; arms still wrapped around each other. Izzy and Raphael we talking to the person on the steps. It wasn't Mum, it was the same person who broke into Magnus' apartment. Marius.

'Izzy could you take Raphael to your father, please?' Magnus asked. Izzy and Raphael left. 'Alec do you want to go inside too?'

'No, I'm fine here.' I still had my arm around Magnus and I could see Marius staring at it, but I wasn't going to move it away.

'What are you doing here, again?' I could hear the anger leaking from Magnus' voice.

'I wanted to apologize babe-'

'He is not your babe!' I surprised myself, I never yelled. 'Now tell us the real reason why you are here! And don't say you're here to apologize because we all know that is a load of crap.' Magnus was looking at me, he was surprised.

'Alec, why don't you just get out of here!' Marius yelled, 'This has nothing to do with you!'

'You're stalking my boyfriend! This has everything to do with me.'

'Boys, boys, please. You know I love a good catfight but just stop. Marius just tell us why you're really here,' Marius was about to say something but as if Magnus knew what he was going to say he added, 'and Alec isn't going anywhere.'

'Fine! I'm here because I love you Magnus. And nothing, including Alec, is going to stop me from loving you. I will get you back.' I had to bite my tongue so I wouldn't yell at him.

'Marius, you won't get me back, I don't love you. Like I said earlier, I love Alec. So please leave.

'I'll leave for now. But Magnus, if you ever get lonely, or you break up with your precious little Alec,' he said my name as if it were poison in his mouth, 'I'm here for you, ok bub?'

'Leave!' Marius looked hurt but left without saying another word.

'Magnus, I'm sorry, I shouldn't of said anythi-' He kissed me.

'Don't apologize sweetie. Hopefully that was the last time we see him, thank-you.' I hugged him then we walked inside.

We stepped inside the elevator but before I could press the up button, I heard a shout. It was Max running towards us. 'Alec, Magnus! Wait!'

'Max? What's up?'

'Dad's gone!'
