The next chapter. Sorry for not posting sooner but here it is now. Sorry for the shortness but I hope you like it.
When I got to my room I went straight to the bed and took out the bag full of clothes that was stashed underneath it. A bag that I packed two days ago for just this reason. Because I knew this will happen when I admit the truth.
Luckily I don't have a lot of stuff to take other then the clothes I already packed so I just threw all the weapons I could find in as I hurried to take everything I need and be out as fast as possible. Not wanting to be here any longer then necessary since I'm clearly unwanted.
About half way through I started shaking.
The meaning of what just happened finally hitting me fully.
No. I thought, stopping my hurried packing. No. Not now. I need to get out first. But my desperate thoughts didn't stop the realty from dropping down at me.
He kicked me out. Just like that. I thought. Every word hurting like a punch. I expected it but it still hurts. The disgusted look on his face that seemed to have came right out of my nightmares and those black eyes getting even darker… it hurts.
I numbly sat on my bed. It was getting hard to breathe.
I don't have a home anymore. Or a family. I can't come back here anymore. Ever. It hit me all at once not giving me time to try and make the words hurt less. Not giving me time to bounce back.
"Alec?" There was a slight creak on the floor and a familiar voice called me making me look up startled.
"Alec are you ok? What happened?" Jace asked, slowly walking to me.
"Yes I'm fine." I said, quickly getting up and taking my bag. Ducking my head for a second to wipe my eyes to make sure if any tears fell. But luckily they didn't.
"Alec you don't look fine." He said grabbing my arm as I continued to pack. "I know you're not fine."
"It's nothing." I gave him a small smile as I threw the last seraph blade into the bag and zipped it up. "I just can't live here anymore that's all."
"Wait." He caught my arm again as I tried to get passed him and out of the door. "They found out? And kicked you out?!" He asked looking at me with slightly wide eyes.
"I didn't have any choice but to tell him the truth." I said looking at the floor before looking back up at him again. "But it's not like this was unexpected. We all knew this will happen when they find out."
He looked at me for a second before talking again. "You're going to Magnus's now?"
"Don't have anywhere else to go now do I." I snapped at him but then lowered my voice again trying to collect myself. "Sorry. I just…I don't have a home anymore, nor family. And soon I won't have my marks either when they go to the Clave with this."
"Don't think like that. It's not true." Jace said sternly making me look him straight in the eyes again.
"You have a family. Izzy, Max and I will always be your family. Who cares what they think. They aren't here half the time anyway. And as for the home and the marks…I'm sure they won't go to the Clave. If for anything then for their pride. And we all know that this hasn't been your home for months now. So don't you dare go all negative on me now and rather go tell your Warlock boyfriend that you managed to call off the wedding." He ended with a smile making me smile slightly in return. "Feeling better?"
"Yeah. Thanks." I answered with a smile, getting my bow and arrows feeling a lot better about leaving again.
"What kind of a parabatai would I be if I let you wallow in self pity?" He joked.
I laughed taking him a little by surprise because he doesn't see me laugh a lot.
"Anyway need to go." I said and quickly hugged him before walking out of the door. "See you soon I guess."
I looked at my room for one last time before turning around and walking away. Leaving my room and the Institute behind for the last time.
No going back now. I thought as I walked out of the Institute and onto the streets of New York. I guess I can only hope for the best now. I thought as I took a deep breath and started walking towards Brooklyn. Hoping Magnus isn't mad anymore. Or at least that this will make him not mad anymore.
Jace is right. I thought. This can only be a good thing. Getting away from there and them can only be a good thing.
…
I unlocked the door and stepped inside suddenly feeling anxious for some reason.
"Magnus?" I called for him as I closed the door and put my stuff down by it. Hoping that he's home.
Chairman Meow ran out of the bedroom and rubbed his small furry head against my ankle.
"Hey Chairman." I smiled as I picked the small cat into my arms. "Is Magnus home?" I asked him as if he can answer me as I made my way to the bedroom.
From the doorway I could see that sleeping. His tone skin clearly visible against the bright blue comforter even in the dark.
I turned around to go back to the living room and let him sleep but didn't get as far as two steps.
"Come here." I heard Magnus's sleepy voice. Taking me by surprise.
I turned around only to see him watching me through half lidded sleepy eyes.
"I'm tired but I can't sleep. " He explained to my questioning look and pulled the covers off of my side of the bed, inviting me to come. "Come."
I smiled slightly and put Chairman down before making my way to the bed. Taking my clothes off as I did.
Now only in my underwear I got onto bed next to Magnus only to be pulled to him immediately.
I sighed at the familiar warmth and feel of his lean body pressed against mine.
"I'm sorry." He whispered into my ear as I rested my head on his chest comfortably.
"No reason to say sorry." I said against his chest as I drew circles onto his stomach lightly with the tip of my finger. "You were right I was avoiding it."
"But I shouldn't have snapped at you like that." He argued. "I know you mean it when you say that you won't go through with it. But I just…They called me to arrange for me to make a portal. And everything was just too real for a moment. I could see you marrying her and it made me sick to just hand her to you like that."
"I'm sorry." I looked up at him feeling awful for not doing this earlier. For not being brave enough to come out that first day. "But it's done now ok. I told my dad the truth today. And it's safe to say that the wedding is-" But I didn't get to finish the sentence because his lips were suddenly pressed again mine. His arms around me pulling me even closer.
"I love you." I said a little breathlessly as we pulled apart.
"Love you too." He rested his forehead against mine giving me a breathtaking smile.
"I have one question though." I said after a second of silence.
He pulled a little away and raised an eyebrow at me.
"Can I stay here? I kind of don't have a home anymore." I asked feeling a small smile appear on my face.
"Of course you can." He said and kissed me again. "You don't even have to ask."
"Good." I said, grinning now. "Because my stuff is in your living room."
He laughed and I snuggled comfortably onto him again.
"Can I just sleep for a little bit?" I asked with a yawn. "I barely got any sleep last night."
"Me either." He said sleepiness back again. "Especially after you didn't come."
"I thought you didn't want me to." I replied, sleep slowly coming over me.
"I always want you to." He mumbled shifting slightly and tightening his hold on me.
A minute later we were both fast asleep.
Entangled in each other.
