Guys guess what. I managed to get some free time today and felt like writing so I'm posting now. It feels so good to post right the next day like before. Well anyway I don't know when Ill be able to post again so here you go. It's short but needed. Hope you like it.
"Alec you're here!" I heard someone call out excitedly making me wake up as I felt a small body hug me.
I opened my eyes and was met by Max's wide and bright ones as he hugged me tightly.
I smiled. "Hi there. Long time no see." I said as I awkwardly hugged him back, considering that I was still lying down on my stomach and was barely able to shift a little bit.
"Yes I missed you." He said letting me go and sitting next to me on the edge of the bed as I rolled over onto my back.
"Well I missed you too. But I'm here now." I said sitting up and rubbing the sleep out of my eyes as I yawned.
"I'm happy you are." He said and then brought up something in his hand for me to see. "Is this from Magnus?"
He asked bluntly, showing me a piece of paper with a note.
I love you too sweetness. Sweet dreams.
I smiled as I took it from him. The paper was rustled and bended at some places, I've probably slept on it at some point.
I guess I fell asleep before I got it. I thought as I read it with a fond smile.
It took me a second to notice that max was looking at me expectedly.
I cleared my throat awkwardly before answering him, folding the paper and putting it with the others in my bedside table drawer. "Yes that was from Magnus. He couldn't come with me since he's a Warlock so we were sending each other fire messages yesterday." I looked at him again. "Speaking of Magnus are you keeping secret?" I asked.
"Yes I am." He nodded and then pushed his glasses back up his nose as they slipped down a little.
"That's good." I glanced towards Jace's bed only to find it empty. "Where is-"
"He is downstairs with the others. I was sent here to wake you up." He smiled proudly and I chuckled.
"Well thank you buddy." I rustled his hair making him complain and me chuckle again. "I'll be right down."
"Ok." He got up and walked to the door. "Mom and dad are there too." He warned me before closing them behind him making me think that maybe he does understand more then he lets on.
It didn't take long for me to get up, get dressed and get downstairs.
As I neared the kitchen I heard all the laughing and happy voices all the way from the hallway. It made me smile slightly remembering how this is how my every morning was before. I missed it.
But as I entered the kitchen any and all talking stopped immediately, everyone's eyes on me.
As I looked around the room I heard a scraping of a chair on the floor and even without looking I knew was the one who got up and without a word walked out in the other direction. Leaving me yet again looking at his back as he left.
But at least Maryse stayed where she was.
I went and sat on the only empty seat left-other than the one Robert just left because there is no way I'm sitting there-ending up sitting between Jace and Simon. Who was surprisingly also here even though he was a Downworlder now. The Clave can't be happy about that. But I didn't say anything but just left my gaze move to the others.
Clary was also there, along with Izzy, Jace and Max but there was also a girl for whom it took me a moment to recognize her as our cousin Alline. My eyes moved from her to my mother who gave me a small sad and apologetic smile as our eyes met but didn't say anything.
She didn't need to. I knew Robert was the one who had problems with me. Not her. I don't have anything against her.
"Ok well that was awkward." Jace said breaking the silence. "Well anyway as I was talking…" He said continuing to talk about whatever he was talking before, making everyone let out the breath they were holding.
Max looked around slightly confused before going back to his manga that he was reading while eating and everyone else went back to eating too.
I grabbed some food and did the same. Staying silent as I heard everyone else talk.
It was nice.
I heard someone's approaching footsteps and looked up, my eyes meeting dark ones. The boy currently taking a seat in a chair that Robert was on before had dark black hair and dark eyes looking friendly and trustworthy but something didn't feel right.
Something about him felt really wrong but I seemed to be the only one thinking that as everyone else smiled at his arrival and greeted him.
Who is he anyway? I thought feeling confused.
Seeing my confused expression Izzy clarified. "Oh this is Sebastian. You remember Sebastian right Alec?"
Oh Sebastian. I thought remembering a boy I last saw when I was nine. He really did seem to grow up but on the other hand all of us did since then.
I shook his hand but he seemed to cringle at my touch.
Ok that doesn't seem good. I thought, leaning back onto my chair.
As everyone else went to what they were doing again I felt Sebastian's eyes on me and saw them flash as I looked up. And what I saw definitely didn't seem good. Actually his eyes looked evil no matter how stupid that sounds but they really did. And I saw disgust in them too.
This doesn't seem so good at all. I thought, trying to avoid his eyes now and pretend to go back to listening to everyone else as my mind kept racing and I felt his gaze on me the whole time.
This is bad.
Did you like it? Tell me what you think.
I was in the mood for some family time so tada. I'm staling so the end won't come so soon but ok. Max is back but on the other hand Sebastian is here too so this is kind of a good news and bad news situation.
Anyway 15 reviews and you get the next chapter hopefully soon.
So review my lovelies.
