Thank you all for your amazing reviews! Again I have no time to answer because of school :( But I've read them all and I really appreciate all your nice comments :)

I'm sorry for keeping you waiting for the next chapter *sigh* I'm terrible...especially after leaving you with such a cliffhanger :O But hopefully this chapter will make it up for you ^^

I own nothing!

(This is just a preview of how the last chapter ended)

Voices were coming from downstairs…but they were screaming. Throwing curses at each other. There seemed to be a woman and a man. Alec suddenly gasped and backed away from Magnus so quickly he could barely blink before Alec was on his feet and backing away from Magnus.

Alec noticed the look of hurt that crossed Magnus's eyes as he backed away, but it was soon covered and Magnus stood up as well.

"Who are they?" Magnus asked quietly.

"My parents" Alec whispered, his face pale and his eyes wide open.

"Your parents?" Magnus asked standing up "I thought you said they were out of the country!"

"That's what Izzy told me" Alec hissed pressing his ear to the door "They were supposed to come back until the weekend"

"Well they obviously aren't" Magnus said with a roll of his eyes

"Shut up!" Alec snapped turning to glare at the glittery man "I'm not supposed to be here…if they see me, they'll kill me"

"They can't kill you Alexander" Magnus said with a sigh

"Have you forgotten what I just told you?!" Alec hissed-screamed "They kicked me out of the house…I'm not supposed to be here!"

"So how are you getting out? Jumping out the window?"

"It's too high" Alec said with a wave of his hand

"It was a joke, Alec" Magnus said "You can't jump out the window! No matter how high it is!"

"I used to do it all the time" Alec said with a shrug "But compared to Max's room, I had a tree in front of mine"

"So let's just go to your room" Magnus said "They probably won't hear us"

"No!" Alec exclaimed turning to look at Magnus with wide eyes "I…w-we can't g-go there!"

"Why not?" Magnus asked with a small frown

"The room holds too many memories…Memories I would rather not remember"

Magnus nodded silently, knowing there Alec's room held dark secrets from the boy's past. He wasn't going to question him farther. Alec had told him enough today and he knew that if he wanted to tell him more he would, but at his own time.

Something was bothering Magnus, though…the fact that they were about to kiss but Alec had practically ran away from him. He knew he shouldn't be upset, they had heard Alec's parents downstairs and it had probably scared the poor boy to death, but it still bothered him slightly. It just made him hate Alec's parents even more…Not just because they had ruined Alec's life and made it complete hell for years, but also because they had interrupted what could have been their first kiss. He could not deny he had wanted to kiss those lips for a long time now…but today was not the day it would happen, unfortunately.

"What are we going to do?" Alec asked with wide eyes. He started looking around the room, trying to find something to help them but obviously there was none.

"First of all, we're not going to panic" Magnus said getting Alec's attention "Your parents don't know you're here…We can either try to sneak out or wait 'till they're gone again"

"It could take hours for them to go!" Alec cried

"Then we have to sneak out" Magnus said turning towards the door "We can't wait hours until they're gone…we have work to do"

"Maybe it won't take that much" Alec said afraid of going out and being caught by his parents

"Alexander…we have to get those photos for the magazine today!" Magnus said slowly "We can't wait any more time"

"You're right" Alec sighed.

Alec turned the knob of the door and looked around the hallway. There was no one there, but the screams from his parents could be heard more clearly now that the door was open. His parents were fighting, which was something Alec was used to. They fought many times, ever since he could remember, and it had only gotten worse when Max died.

Alec indicated Magnus to follow him and they both stepped out of the room and headed towards the staircase where they could hear the yells even more close. Alec guessed they were in the kitchen and hopefully they would be able to sneak out without his parents noticing. They started to descend the stairs quietly, wincing ever time the screams got even more harsh.

"It's your fault Robert!" They heard Maryse cry "Because of you I have none of my sons anymore!"

That made Alec and Magnus stop dead in their tracks. Alec looked at the last steps of the staircase with wide eyes. The door of the kitchen was closed but he could hear his parents clearly, as if they were right next to him.

"I don't blame you for Max's death…but the fact that Alexander is gone is your fault!" Maryse exclaimed

"Don't you dare speak his name!" Robert snapped "He is better off gone!"

"We were better without you!" Maryse cried "You kicked our son out of the house and gave many reasons for Isabelle and Jace to leave as well!"

"Why are you bringing this up now?!" Robert exclaimed outraged

"I'm bringing this up because YOU'RE A FUCKING JERK!" Maryse exclaimed her voice getting higher with each word "YOU MADE OUR KIDS HATE US AND THEN YOU LEAVE ME TO BE WITH THAT STUPID WHORE!"

The next thing they heard was a snap and something hitting the floor. Some glasses and other stuff fall as well hitting the floor with loud 'clings'. Alec took another step closer to the door, trying to hear more clearly now that the room had fallen silent. He pressed his ear next to the door and tried to listen. He heard his mother sob and that was all it took to get him to open the door.

Alec burst inside the kitchen, Magnus close behind. What they saw surprised them both. Maryse was on the floor, trying to get up but failing miserably since her husband had just kicked her and forced her to stay down.

"Stay away from her!" Alec cried running towards his father and throwing himself against him.

Robert was surprised by the impact and he hit the counter on the other side falling to the floor as well. Alec stayed standing up and looking down at his father.

"You make me sick!" Alec spat on his face

"What are you doing here, faggot?" Robert hissed standing up and glaring at Alec.

He didn't give him time to answer. Robert punched Alec on the face and forced him to the floor kicking him in the stomach once…twice and going for his head when his blow was blocked by someone else holding him away from Alec.

"I suggest you stop this right now" A deep voice said "The police are on their way and you've gave them enough reasons to put you in jail"

"And who are you?" Robert hissed glaring at the sparkly man in front of him "You're Alexander's whore, aren't you?"

"I ain't anybody's property" Magnus hissed "But I can assure you I have enough power to put you in jail for the rest of your existence"

"Magnus….leave it" Alec said. He was now standing next to her mother supporting her.

"Robert…Get out of my house" Maryse said as soon as Magnus let go of the man "And don't you dare step inside once…or get near any of my children…Otherwise we're getting you locked"

"You can't kick me out of the house!" Robert exclaimed looking at his wife outraged

"I can and I'm doing it" Maryse snapped "Leave!"

"This doesn't end here"

Robert glared at everyone inside of the room and stormed out. There was an intense silence in the room after Robert was out. Maryse stepped away from her son and Magnus soon rushed to Alec's side checking him out for any injuries.

"Magnus…Ma-…Magnus!" Alec snapped getting the man's hands away from his face "I'm alright"

"You'll have an awful bruise in your jaw tomorrow" Magnus said looking at Alec with concern

"I'm alright" Alec repeated "Don't worry…I've had worse"

Magnus frowned at this but made no comment about it. Alec gave him a reassurance smile and then turned towards his mother who was looking at them with a look in her eyes Alec couldn't quiet identify. It was gone as soon as Alec turned to look at her and she turned her view away.

"I should thank you" Maryse said tightly "And apologize for getting you in such a mess"

"It's no problem mom" Alec murmured "We couldn't let him hurt you"

"How did you know?" Maryse asked her voice breaking slightly "What were you doing here?"

"We came for a photo-shoot" Alec said with a shrug

"A photo-shoot?" Maryse asked frowning slightly and then her eyes widened with realization as she looked at Magnus "Wait! You're Magnus Bane! Fashion designer and owner of the magazine Prestigious"

"That's me" Magnus nodded "And Alexander here is my photographer"

"Photographer? I didn't know you were into photography" Maryse said looking at her oldest son

"Started after I left" Alec shrugged

"You probably have no time – or don't want – to chat right now, but I would like to catch up some time" Maryse said her voice small and weak, so unlike the woman he had known so many years back. "I know it might mean nothing to you…but I'm really sorry for everything we put you through and I would like to start all over"

"You're right" Alec said coldly "I don't want to chat, and your apology means nothing to me…but I guess we could meet some time and see how it goes from then"

Alec didn't give her the time to answer. He took hold of Magnus's hand and then rushed out of the house. He didn't give a glance behind and didn't let go of Manus's hand.
