I'm sorry I haven't been updating this story guys. I was focused on my other ones and I forgot about it. oops.

I can not stress this enough. This is the chapter where Alec in Normal Land and this story start to mix together. If you have not read Alec in Normal Land then I advise you to do so before continuing this story. If not, you will be beyond confused.

*Note* Remember that I wrote this story in 2013 so it won't be as well written as my newer works.

A YEAR LATER

Magnus Pov- I walked up to the five story building that used to be my fathers' company and I sighed seeing a sign that said 'coming soon, Circle Inc.' Valentines company is called the circle which means he got control over my fathers' company.

It has been a year since I left home and started going out with Alec. A lot has changed; Alec is part of almost every club in school. The art club, photography club, and even the archery club. He still lives in that apartment with his siblings and he now works at a coffee shop which cuts into our time together.

As for me… well nothing really changed for me. Besides having an amazing boyfriend nothing good has been coming my way. My fashion career is going nowhere yet and my father keeps ruining every chance I have by talking bad about me to my bosses. He really believes that losing his business was my fault.

"It's your fault you know" my father said walking up next to me. I sighed 'speak of the devil' before looking over at him. "No it's not my fault; me working with you wouldn't have changed the outcome. Valentine has a lot of connections and there was no way you were going to win."

He glared at me before looking up at the building "now it's going to be run by that blond brat." He was talking about Jonathan. "Yeah… that's not a good thing, but dad maybe everything else is. You can retire and go on vacation."

He sighed deeply and just turned around walking away from me. I watched him before feeling my pocket buzz. Smiling, I reached into my pocket and looked at the text sent from my baby.

'Hey Magnus, I get off in ten minutes. Have a vanilla mocha with your name on it.'

I texted him back smiling slightly, He knows all of my favorites and he does a good job at always making them for me before he gets off work.

'Sounds great but the taste of your lips sounds more appealing. Be there in a few xoxoxox'

I looked over the text before sending it wishing I could see the face he would make after reading it. Even though he was more open toward me he was still my cute shy blue eyed beauty.
The coffee shop wasn't too far away from my fathers' old company building. Maybe three blocks away, not too bad of a walk.

Once I got to the café my boyfriend was standing at the counter with his back to the door like he was filling out some paper work. I smiled and quietly walked into the shop before sneaking up behind him and wrapping my arms around his waist. This used to scare him but now he just turned and smiled at me. "Nice try."

I smiled and kissed him softly "trying never hurt anyone." He laughed slightly, handing me my vanilla mocha. "Sure, that's why last time you tried it you wrapped your arms around Simon." I shuddered "Please stop bringing that up, you two look alike from behind."

Alec laughed and kissed my cheek before sitting at one of the tables. "Have any plans with Camille tonight?" I shook my head no sitting across from him. "No but I was hoping I would have plans with you."

He frowned looking at me "I'm sorry Magnus I promised Jace I would hang out with him today." I frowned before taking a sip of coffee. "But… you have been so busy with work and clubs we don't have any time for each other. Can't you tell Jace to plan it another day?"

Alec shook his head "I told you Magnus that my family comes first." I glared not able to help it. "Jace isn't even really your brother." "He's my adoptive brother and still family… please Magnus, stop."

I sighed but nodded chugging down my coffee. "This was a little cold" I said deciding to change the subject. "Well yeah you took your sweet time getting here." I shrugged and smiled slightly at him "I was looking at Circle Inc."

He frowned "Why? It only cause's problems for you." I shrugged "I don't know I was passing by to pick you up and it just caught my eye."

Alec leaned back "why didn't you drive?"

I shrugged "Felt like walking."

Alec nodded before pulling his camera out of his bag and scooting closer to me "Lets' take a picture." I smiled and nodded getting closer to him "What kind?" He just smiled and pointed the camera at us before leaning in and kissing me. I smiled and kissed him back happily and I heard the flash go off.

We kissed for a few more seconds before Alec broke it and showed me the picture. I smiled "You'll have to make copies." He nodded and stood up "Come on let's go." I nodded and stood up grabbing his hand and walking out with him.

Alec Pov- I finished developing the photos before putting them up on my wall. I feel bad for having to bail on Magnus but I already promised Jace. Sure, going with Magnus would be more safe then getting pulled into one of Jace's crazy adventures but once I promise something I don't break it.

I looked at the photo of Magnus and I kissing and smiled slightly "This weekend I'll stay with Magnus and it will be all about him. I won't make any more plans."

There was a knock on my door before Jace entered saying "Come on let's go, the sun is going down." I looked at him and nodded before grabbing my favorite jacket "Where are we going anyway?" He smirked "You'll see when we get there."

It was never a good thing when Jace Lightwood said 'you will see when we get there' that means if I knew where we were going I would chicken out.

"Lets' go." He said grabbing my arm and dragging me out of the apartment.

We were in Brooklyn and I still wasn't a big fan of the place. Yeah I went here every day to go to my boyfriend's apartment but it still gives me the creeps. "Please tell me we're going to a bad diner" I said looking around. He shook his head no and stopped in front of a staircase in the ground. "We're going to look inside this abandoned subway station."

I frowned shocked "Are you crazy?" he just shrugged and started going down the stairs. "Come with me or I'll tell Magnus that you're ticklish on your sides." I glared "The only reason you know that is because you found out when we were wrestling."

He stopped at the bottom of the stairs and looked up at me "Yeah and I'll tell Magnus if you don't follow me." I bit my lip cursing him in my head. Magnus would totally take advantage of that kind of information.

Sighing, I finally made up my mind and started going down the steps. Jace walked over to the tracks and looked down at them. "Lets' follow the tracks."

I ran up and grabbed his arm before he could jump down. "You don't know if trains come through here or not. We will not walk on the tracks and that's final." Jace rolled his eyes "Whatever dad."

I flinched and let go of his arm hating when he called me that. He seen the look on my face and frowned "Sorry Alec I didn't mean it."

I shrugged and started to walk down the station walk way. Jace followed and looked around "You know the walk way will end and we will have to walk on the track to go in the tunnel right?"

I shook my head pulling a flashlight out of my backpack I brought. "We aren't going in the tunnel at all Jace, it's dangerous and I won't have you get hurt." He frowned but nodded keeping step with me. I turned on the flashlight and handed it to him before looking around, making sure it was safe.

I walked up to the edge of the walk way and looked at the tracks thinking. "Alec, be careful the bricks of the walkway look kind of loose." I laughed slightly and looked back at him "Please I'm always careful-"

As I said that the brick came loose from under my feet and I fell onto the tracks hitting my head hard on the railing.

In my mind I kept telling myself to get up, that it was a little fall and it didn't even hurt but for some reason I felt like I was still falling. like my soul fell out of my body and it was gone.

Jace Pov- I ran to the edge of the walkway where my brother fell and I frowned seeing he was knocked out on the ground. "Alec? Alec, get up." He didn't move an inch which was not good.

I jumped down and got on my knees pulling him on my lap. "Alec, come on it was just a fall." I touched his face gently checking for bleeding but there was none. His eyes fidgeted slightly and he moved his head to the side.

"Magnus… I'm sorry" he mumbled softly before passing out again.

I frowned confused about what he was talking about and I picked him up carrying him home.

The next morning, I got out of bed and got ready for school before walking out of my room, seeing Isabelle come out of Alecs' room. "How's he doing" I asked walking up to her.

She shrugged "I don't know. He was talking about what I was wearing and acting weird about school and Magnus. He must have hit his head really hard." I shrugged and went passed her going in his room and leaning on the door frame "Alec, come on."

He was looking at the picture he took of Magnus and him yesterday but when he seen me he dropped the picture and ran up to me grabbing me by the shoulders which I have to say, kind of freaked me out.

"Do you remember fighting a demon in the subway last night" He asked; staring at me intensely.

I looked at him like he was crazy and made him let me go "Man, are you high or something? Do you have a fever" I asked; touching his forehead.

He pulled away "No I am not high; I am serious."

I shook my head "Man that's some messed up dream you had then. There are no such things as demons." He froze like he was shocked. "No demons? What about Shadowhunters, Vampires, warlocks?"

I busted out laughing, leaving the room and going down the stairs. What was wrong with that guy? Shadowhunters, Warlocks? Is he going completely crazy?

Isabelle turned her attention to me, hearing me laughing on my way down the stairs "what's so funny?" I smiled and sat down at the table grabbing an apple "He is having some kind of mental break down, saying things about magical creatures."

She started bursting out laughing making me laugh again too. Alec came in and I looked at him "Come on we still need to pick up Simon and Clary" I said walking outside to my car. He and Izzy followed me and he looked confused. "Why are you getting Simon? You hate him."

I stopped and looked at him now confused myself. "What are you talking about? You, Simon, and I have been best friends since kindergarten." "Have you and Clary been friends since kindergarten too?" I shook my head no "only since middle school… wait; why am I telling you this? You were there"

We got in the car and Alec laid his head on the window "right". Isabelle and I looked at each other before shrugging and I started the car driving to get the others. Once we got to school He looked at his phone looking over what my guess would be texts from Magnus. Once he finished reading it he grabbed his schedule out of his book bag and ran into the school.

Magnus Pov- I walked into the school and leaned on my locker thinking about that fight I had with Alec. We don't have a lot of fights but I always hated when we did. Still whenever we did have a fight we always had great make up sex afterwards.

I still remember the first night we had sex. It was the night of the Halloween party after we had our first and only dance. Supposedly me saying gushy stuff about looking into my eyes really turns him on.

I looked at the time thinking he should be here by now and I took out my phone texting him
'Hey babe where are you? Have been waiting by your locker needing some Alec love 3'.

I closed my phone and leaned on his locker waiting, closing my eyes. I kept my eyes closed until I heard a loud "Magnus!" I opened my eyes and looked in the direction the voice came before smiling seeing my boyfriend.

He was slightly out of breath and something seemed different in the way he stood. My boyfriend is known for his slouching and I even complain about it but now, now he had perfect posture and his hair seemed slightly longer.

He smiled and ran to me jumping in my arms and clinging to me with all his might. He felt stronger then before but it must be my imagination. I hugged him back confused on why he was doing this.

"Alexander what has gotten into you? You never do this" I asked looking at him.

He just looked at me and cupped my face in his hands looking into my eyes. "I missed you so much" he said softly before kissing me deeply. I was confused but didn't object, I kissed him back with just as much passion and aggression as him. I broke the kiss softly and he pouted before hiding his face in the crook of my neck. The pout was weird for Alec but cute.

I still held him smiling "What's up with you today? Not that I don't like it but this is nothing like you." He held me tighter and started crying hard into my neck making me frown "What's wrong Alexander?" I put him down and made him look at me.

I wiped his tears off his cheeks with my thumbs and he tried to control himself. "I… We… I had a dream that I hurt you and you broke up with me… it feels like it's been two months since I saw you."

I frowned and hugged him tight "its okay Alec I'm right here. I'll never ever leave you." His crying got softer but he still held me tight.

"Hey Magi what's wrong with Al?" Camille asked walking up to us. Alec looked at her and his face turned pale like he was looking at a ghost. I ignored it and looked at Camille "Alexander is just a little stressed is all; he had a bad dream that we broke up."

She pouted and hugged him tight "oh Al, don't be sad you and Magi will never break up. Go team malec!" He looked super confused and honestly it only made him cuter. I noticed he looked a little crushed so I laughed, smiling at Camille. "Camille, don't squeeze him too hard."

Alec blinked and looked at me "are we friends with her?" Camille and I both looked at him confused and Camille let him go "Why would you ask such a question? We're all best friends."

Camille opened her locker and Alec observed the pictures of us that were hanging on the door like he never seen them before. I shook my head and grabbed his hand "Come on love we need to go to class." He nodded and went with Camille and me looking down.

After school we went to my apartment and he looked around like he was expecting something and didn't get it. "Why do you look so surprised? You come here all the time" I asked taking off my jacket. He shrugged and sat down on the couch taking off his sweater "It just looks smaller then I remember."

I sat next to him and put his legs on my lap "You came here the day before yesterday silly." He smiled a smile I have never seen come from Alec, it was like a hunters smile. He got fully on my lap and wrapped his arms around me "What did we do then?"

I smiled "Well we had dinner, watched the Notebook then had 'desert'." I said putting air quotes on desert. He thought for a moment before saying "I'm a little hungry now… can I have some desert?" I got wide eyed too shocked to respond right away. What the hell? "Alexander, what has gotten into you today?"

He shrugged and caressed my cheek gently making me lean into the touch. "I just really love you" he said softly making me get wide eyed again. This time tears came to my eyes, I tried to stop them from coming out but it wouldn't be helped. Frowning, Alec caught the tears before they could come down my face "What's wrong?"

I shook my head and wiped my eyes "Sorry it's just… you have never said that before… and I was starting to think you didn't feel that way." He has been so busy and always puts others before me. He never says I love you and I was starting to think it was because he didn't love me.

He leaned in and kissed my forehead gently "That will never happen. I love you so much and I never want to lose you." I smiled and cupped his face in my hands like that Halloween night and I kissed him softly. He kissed me back smiling happily. "Come on." I said picking him up and taking him to my bedroom.
