Chapter 5 "That's wrong!"
After the parting of his and Magnus' ways Alec's day didn't get better. History with Mr. Valentine was a pain and the constant teasing from Jonathan drove him mad. Magnus was nowhere to be found and Alec still wondered what he did wrong. The only ray of sunshine was Jem.
"So, did I miss anything? I mean, I was gone for three years, something must have happened," Jem asked him after school while they fought their way through the mob of students.
"Well, not really. Jace is still a womanizer and Izzy a man eater," he told his friend. It was weird to say these things about his siblings, but it was true. Maybe I was adopted, Alec thought, I'm so different. But then again, he had the eyes of his mother.
Jem laughed, but he suddenly stopped and looked to his left. Will Herondale looked at them, or more specifically, Jem. What does he want, the raven haired boy asked himself.
"Ahm, I have to go, Alec. I see you tomorrow," the silver eyed beauty left him and walked away with Alec's so called doppelganger. Since when were they friends?
Alec didn't want to think about it any longer and made his way to the big doors of St. Nephilims. Isabelle and Jace were already seated in the car and waited for him to enter. Under other circumstances Jace would've driven, but the golden boy lost his driving license (no one talked about the strange incident).
The eldest Lightwood entered the car and was driving them home. The ride was boring and no one said a word, which was odd, because Jace or Isabelle always talked. Alec felt himself relax and he didn't even think about Jem or Magnus.
"Jace, can I ask you something?" Alec asked his adopted brother. The two were currently watching Doctor Who, the homework was finished and neither one of them wanted to do something stressful.
"Sure," Jace answered and ate chips. He laughed about something the Doctor said and looked at Alec. There it goes, the blue eyed teen told himself.
"Well, why is Magnus no longer allowed at the table?" He was growing nervous, because Jace just looked at him and didn't say anything for a longer time.
"…why are you asking that all of a sudden?" Jace asked him and raised an eyebrow. Alec played with the sleeves of his shirt and looked down.
"Magnus told me that and-"
"He told you that? Why did you talk to him?" The younger boy seemed to grow angry and he looked disbelievingly at the taller teen. Why is he angry?
"Why shouldn't I talk to him? We were eating lunch and then he mentio-"
"You ate lunch with…him?! Alec, stay away from him," Jace cut his older brother off again and looked at him intensely. The latter looked at him wide eyed.
"Why?"
"Alec. The reason he was banned from the table is that he swings both ways. That's abnormal, you have to avoid him." What the hell?! Alec was pissed, no, beyond pissed. Magnus is no longer allowed at the table because he is bisexual?
"Just because of that you banned him?! Jace! That's wrong!" Alec stood up and glared at his brother. Said person looked surprised and a little bit angry.
"That's not wrong! What he is is wrong! And why are you so angry?" Jace asked the darker Lightwood.
"It's none of your business who he likes. Magnus shouldn't be judged! He is a nice person and he did nothing wrong!" Alec has never felt this angry before. How could his brother say something like that about his friend? But it wasn't just about Magnus, it was also about himself. If Jace knew that he was gay, would he reject him like he rejected Magnus? But when Alec looked at Jace he knew he would. And that hurt.
"Why are you defending him?! He's a freak! He likes men, that's so disgusting!"
"The only one who is disgusting is you!" and with that Alec went to his room, he shut the door hard and his eyes were watering.
How can he be such an asshole! Magnus is so nice and still he hates him because he's bi. How can he say that?!
A tear ran down his cheek and he sat on his bed.
He would never accept me the way I am. Dammit! If he hates someone who likes men and women, how would he react to someone who just likes men? Maybe I'm really disgusting…
Alec closed his eyes and took a deep breath. His cheeks were wet and sticky.
No, I'm not disgusting. Magnus is also not disgusting. Just Jace is…wrong. But maybe it's not really his fault. Society tells us that being different is wrong, that liking the same gender is a sin, but it's not. Shouldn't everyone be allowed to love who he likes?
A laugh escaped him and he wiped his tears away.
I'm turning into a philosopher. …I still have another problem though. Magnus seemed to avoid me after lunch. Why?
Alec went through his day and especially his time in the cafeteria. They had talked and joked a little, then Jem came and Magnus seemed to- wait, Jem! Of course! Magnus was…jealous? Could it be that? No, that would be ridiculous, Alec thought, but Magnus seemed to be a little angry.
He would've never thought that Magnus would be the jealous type, but why should he be jealous? Jem was just a friend! Nothing more. Magnus knew Alec for a day, a day! And he already seemed to care a great deal about him.
A warm feeling encased him and he smiled slightly. He forgot how good it felt to have a friend and now that Jem was back everything seemed to be even better! But he had to take care of his problem named Magnus. He had to talk to him.
But he couldn't really talk to him over his mobile phone, that seemed inappropriate. Alec could wait until tomorrow and then all his problems would be solved, well, almost.
Jace was still a thorn in his side and Alec was scared, more like terrified of the idea to tell his brother that he was gay. It would be a disaster.
I can care about that later, he thought and closed his eyes. Tomorrow everything would be better.
Jace's such an ass, isn't he? Sorry for making him that mean, but I needed the drama! Don't we all just want to hug Alec? And Sebastian and Jonathan are different characters, you know, Sebastain Verlac and Jonathan Morgenstern. Just wanted to remind you. Simon and Clary will appear later on, Tessa too! ...I totally forgot them. Shame on me.
Sorry for rambling. A review would be great! :)
