Wow! I am really good at procrastinating! Kudos to those who have stuck with this story. I have a plan for this story I just need to stick with it. Also, if you have suggestions for websites I can use to edit that would be great.
"Hello?" I asked.
"You lied to me Alec. You better come over to my house right now or it will be the biggest mistake you've ever made."
The line went dead. I sat there horrified and realizing, that was the voice i heard earlier. I should have known. Mark found out and was mad. I'm screwed.
I got up from the bench and ran. I heard Magnus yelling my name, but I didn't listen. I ran three blocks to get to Mark's. I knew how to get there as well as I knew the way to my apartment.
I made it there in record time. I was struggling to breathe once I reached the door. I took a second to prepare myself and catch my breath at the door. Just as I reached to knock, the door opened to reveal Mark. His smile made me sick, I knew something bad would happen.
"Ah, Alec, so glad you could make it. Please, come in!" Mark pulled me inside rather harshly, by my wrist.
"I was informed by a little bird that you were on a date with Bane. Is this true?" Mark stared at me intensely, with a death grip on my wrist. I couldn't find my voice so just nodded. Mark let go of my wrist, only to pin both of them to the wall. I'm trapped.
"Listen here Alec, I still love you. If you love me, you'll do exactly as I say. Understand?" I nodded, too scared to do anything else. Raziel, I wish I could do something.
"Good. You stay away from Bane at school okay? Don't talk to him. In class ignore him, if he tries to talk, you'd better keep your mouth shut. Am I clear?" I nodded again. He wasn't satisfied.
"I said, am I clear?!" He yelled.
"Yes," I managed to say, my voice cracking.
"You're free to go. Remember, talk to Bane and I'll make your life a living hell." He released my wrists and slapped me across the face. I bit back my tears and raced out of the apartment.
I walked home, still weak after the previous events. I was raining, but I didn't care. I let the cold drops fall over me until I was numb. Everything was dark and gloomy.
'How accurate,' I thought. I started thinking about what I've gotten myself into. I loved Mark, but I also liked Magnus a lot. I've only him for a short time yet he probably knows me better than Mark.
I finally reached my house after what felt like eternity. All the light were out, that meant everyone is asleep.
I snuck into the house and made it to my room. I shed my clothes and put on some sweats and a dry shirt. I noticed my phone buzzing and picked it up. Magnus was texting me. I shut my phone down and went to sleep. School was going to be awful tomorrow.
~next morning~
Beep, Beep, Beep.
Ugh, it's morning. Time for school. I grab my phone, turn it on, and read Magnus' messages. He's really worried. I type in a response saying I'm fine when I remember, I can't talk to him. I delete my response and set my phone down. I grab some random clothes and comb my finger through my hair. I skip breakfast and am ready in record time. I decide to leave without Izzy and Jace, they can drive themselves. I grab my keys and head to my car. The engine rumbles to life and I pull out of the driveway. I make it to school with fifteen minutes to spare. I may or may not have stopped and got coffee on the way.
I grab my bag and head to my locker. I see someone waiting there, I freeze when I see who it is.
"Hey Alec! Are you okay? You never responded to my messages," Magnus smiled at me and I almost responded. Then I heard Mark's voice in my head saying not to. I kept my head down and opened my locker. I shoved my stuff inside, grabbed what I needed and hurried away. I caught a brief look of hurt on Magnus' face as I passed. I hate hurting him, but I love Mark.
The day continued like this, me ignoring all of Magnus' attempts at conversation and him being hurt. This was going to kill me in the end.
~1 week later~
"Yeah he has been acting weird this past week," I wonder who Izzy was talking to?
"He won't even talk to me. He looks miserable but I have no clue why." By the Angel! Magnus was at my house! I froze and kept listening.
"He hasn't been eating much lately. He barely ever leaves his room too," Izzy sounds so concerned.
"He started acting this way after we had a kind of date. Maybe I did something to offend him." I peered around the corner at Magnus. He looked almost as bad as I did. He had dark circles under his eyes and almost no makeup on. After seeing this I couldn't take it anymore. Screw Mark! Magnus is more important than him.
"Magnus, I swear I have an explanation for all of this. It's not your fault in any way." I stepped around the corner and into the living room. Magnus immediately brightened and smiled at me. I smiled for the first time since I last spoke to him.
"Alexander, I'm glad you're okay. I was so worried. I thought I did something wrong," Magnus run up to me and gave me a huge hug. I'm not normally a hugger, but this felt amazing.
I realized something at this moment, I don't love Mark, I love Magnus.
