A/N: Ok, I decided to not keep you in the dark anymore and actually give you earlier the beginning of the 'drama'.
Are you ready?
red wolf : Oh yes, she is. Who knows, maybe she will? You should be afraid *evil laugh*
malecglitterfan: That's our adorable little girl ;) Of course they should listen to Lily's advice. I hope so that your imagination worked really good *wink wink*
Guest: That's great *wink wink* I did write a lemon scene. Check out 'A Surprise' or 'A different world'. Maybe it will be bad (Can drama be not bad?)

Chapter VIII
"And then…nothing"
"Goodbye Mr. Bane" Luke smiled at me, before he went out with his mother. "See you tomorrow!"
"Bye Luke, Goodbye Mrs. Townsed" the blonde woman waved in my direction, before she closed the door of my music studio.
Finally, it was my last student for today, so I could call the day. After I placed music sheets to my bag, I stretched my fingers and neck, before I would start practicing. The compositions that I've managed to create, were known by heart to me already. I could play them in my sleep, but yet I was practicing like crazy to not mess them up.
I needed to know them perfectly.
With closed eyes I moved my hands over the keyboard, before I started to slowly press keys, as well as I placed my feet over the pedals. At first the sounds were light, delicate. It reminded me of the beginning of me falling in love with Alexander.
Consumed by thoughts, I accidentally slipped my finger, messing with the melody.
"FUCK!" I hit too strongly at the keyboard with an anger.
"Hey, whatever the piano did to you?" a familiar voice said behind me. Soon the voice come closer and I was granted with the owner of this voice.
"What are you doing here?"
"Came to see my husband. You know I haven't seen him for three days. Maybe you saw him?" Alec smiled at me "Hot, tall, with the most beautiful eyes and smile"
"I happen to see him lately" Alec brought a chair to sit next to me. After he did that, he took my hands in his own, bringing them up to his lips and gently kissing.
"What's wrong? Why haven't you come back home for a night for three days?" I sighed loudly and put my head on his shoulder, inhaling the scent of Alec's cologne that I bought him for Christmas. "Mags?"
"I need to practice. It's only three weeks left to the concert and I'm still messing it sometimes" he stroked slowly my hair with one hand, while the other was soothing my back. "I need to play perfect. I need to be perfect!"
"And you are, my love. You are perfect in this. And I bet you're gonna give them the best concert they've ever seen. You are perfect in this"
"I need to be perfect. I need to Alec" he kept whispering to my ear 'I know' and 'You are'. That's why I love him, he can always console me.
"Let's go home, you need to relax a bit." I wanted to protest, to tell him that I need to practice some more, but Alec shushed me immediately "Mags you need to relax, and as your husband it's my job to take care of you"
After all Alec dragged me back home, without much whining from me. He was right I needed to relax a bit. Once in our bedroom, he helped me took off my jacket and shirt, then my jeans.
"You're so tensed. How 'bout a massage?" I couldn't muster any word from my mouth, as my face become friendly with the pillow on the really comfy bed. But Alec seemed to understood my muffled sounds, as he started to rubbing my shoulders. "Like touching a brick. You just relax my love, and let me take care of you for once"
And that I did. Alec was working on my back, adding to his hands a hot caramel scented oil that we've bought last month. It was so amazing feeling, when he rubbed my back, and pressed harder on my shoulders. Alec's hands were doing magic on me. At some point I was so lost in this that I couldn't help by moan and growl when he pressed harder.
"Now sleep my love. You deserve some relax" he whispered to my ear, before I closed my eyes. "I love you"
"I wuv yu" this was something that my sleepy-self managed to say, before I drifted off completely.
…
"That is nice" a male voice said behind my back, when I stopped play one of my compositions. I turned around on my stool and approached slyly smiling Oliver who leaned over a doorframe of the music room. "You're gonna play it on the concert?"
"Yeah" I decided to do a break and grab some coffee. But Oliver was the first one. He handed me a cup and we both sat down on a leather sofa that I finally bought for this place. And not only to sleep on it while I wasn't sleeping at home. "How's it going?"
"I'm good, and you?"
"Good too" and that's how we've begun every conversation for the past three months.
"I really liked what you played. Did I sensed good that some of it is inspired by Chopin? By one of his nocturnes?" this made me smile. It was a rarity that I could talk with someone about music that I play and to that person actually knows something about it.
"Yes. It inspired me a bit. How did you know?"
"I still remember that you played classical music back when we were together…and you had that poster of Chopin in your music room" ah, memories. "Besides you told me once that Chopin is your favorite compositor. I remembered that"
I could only smile a bit awkwardly at that. I didn't expect him to remember such things about me. He surprised me. But he surprised me even more when he moved a strand of my hair behind my ear and gently caressing my cheek on the way back, smiling softly at me.
"You're so beautiful. You always were"
"Thank you?" there was a big amount of uncertainty in my voice. We establish before that we're friends and only friends. So his movement shocked me a bit.
"You know, I'm still in love with you…"
And then it happened. Something that froze me for a while.
Oliver leaned down and captured my lips with his own. It took ten seconds before my mind reacted properly and I pushed him off of me. With a murderous look I jumped off of the couch.
"What the hell Oliver?!"
"I'm sorry…I'm…"
"Get out! Get out!" He left my studio, leaving me with the horrible thought of what had happened moments ago.
How the hell I'm gonna explain this to Alec?
On my way back home, it's not that I could actually focus on playing anymore when my mind was consumed by messy thoughts, I wondered how am I going to tell Alec about it. I knew that he will be pissed at me, and not only for the kiss but as well for the little lie of mine. Still I haven't told him about me befriending with Oliver.
Maybe I should just keep my mouth shut?
No, that wasn't a good plan. One way or another Alec would eventually find out about it. Besides we promised to each other honesty. I had to tell him, even if I was scared as hell of his reaction.
"Hey honey" he greeted me when I entered home with a beautiful wide smile on his lips. "How was your day?"
I never was good into beating around the bush, so I decided to be blunt about it. The sooner the better. I launched myself onto Alec, wrapping my arms strongly around his waist, burying my face into the crook of his neck.
"I'm sorry baby, I'm so sorry. I never meant for this to happen"
"Mags, what are you talking about, are you ok?" he pushed me a little away from himself, but never let go of my shoulders. With a lowered head I mumbled what happened in my music studio "What? I don't understand"
"He kissed me" I whispered a bit louder this time. But Alec still didn't seem to catch it. "He kissed me"
At first Alec looked at me confused, as I would say it in a different language. Then came a shock on his face and finally he knitted his brows in an anger.
"What? And who?!"
"Oliver kissed me today in my music studio" my voice was shaky a bit "Please don't be mad at me baby. Please"
"Who's Oliver? A friend from somewhere? I don't know him." for now Alec was trying to be calm. Once again I mumbled under my nose Oliver's full name. "Excuse me? Tell me that I misheard you"
"You haven't…Oliver Haywire kissed me…but it only lasted…" And then it happened.
"WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK Magnus?!" Alexander's voice never before was so loud, nor so full of anger. I was truly afraid of him. "How the hell is that possible?! Did he harassed you somehow? I'm gonna beat the shit out of him! He's dead for even coming close to you…"
"We're friends…"
"What?!" he raised his arms in the air in a rage. "You're joking, right?! Tell me you're kidding!"
"I'm not…we're friends for three months already…"
"And you're telling me this now?! Are you fucking kidding me?!" Alec started to pace around the living room "I can't believe it…"
"I'm sorry baby…I'm sorry that I didn't tell…"
"How could you be so stupid?! Did you forgot already what he had done to you?!" Alec's eyes were now darker than I've ever seen before. "He fucking abused you! And now you're his friend?!"
"He's changed…he is sick…bipolar…he's changed…he didn't abuse me lately…"
"Oh yeah, a friend of the fucking year! You're an idiot! How can you be so dumb?!" I sat down on the couch, clutching a pillow to my chest, trying to stop tears that were running down my cheeks. "So fucking stupid!"
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry! What else do you want me to say?!" more tears came from my eyes, my voice was now all shaky with emotions. "I know I'm stupid! And I'm sorry, so sorry…"
Alexander ran a hand through his hair, making them more messy, before he came to the couch to sit next to me. He sighed loudly, trying to calm himself down, and placed a hand over my knee.
"Look at me" when I did it, I couldn't stop myself from pressing myself into his chest. Alec was all stiffed, but he managed to move his hand over my back into a comforting manner.
"I'm sorry baby, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry" I couldn't stop my sobs.
"I'm sorry too, for calling you stupid"
"No, you're right, I'm stupid. I shouldn't be friends with Oliver. But I felt so lonely lately" He kissed the top of my head "You were busy with the hospital and work and taking care of Lily, Ragnor and Cate don't have time for me too…and Oliver was really good friend…it was so easy to talk to him…I felt less lonely…"
"Magnus, I understand that you might felt lonely lately…but this isn't the way…I mean…damn…"
"Are you mad at me? I'm sorry for the kiss. I pushed him away" I hoped that this would help my case at least a bit.
"I'm mad, but not because of the kiss" my look was confused now "Ok, I'm slightly mad about the kiss, but not at you but him. You pushed him away. But I'm mad that you've been hiding this from me. We should trust each other. Also I'm mad because I care about you. Please understand me…It's not that I think he didn't change or something. God knows it may be true. But I don't trust him. You said he's bipolar…and sometimes people with this illness have attacks. And I'm afraid that you may be a victim of his attack. You never know when the attack may come. I'm just looking out for you honey. All I want is for you to be safe"
"You're right. I'll stop hanging out with him"
"All I want is for you to be safe Maggie. That's all I want"
"I love you baby" we kissed passionately to emphasize our made up.
"I love you too Magnus, so much"
Yes, we made up after this fight. And I intended to keep my word and don't meet with Oliver.
But apparently this wasn't the only thing that we'd fight about.
…
On Sunday evening I was practicing at home. Only one week has left to the concert and I was freaking out more than ever. My fingers were practically glued to the keyboard, as I nonstop played my compositions. My mind blocked away everything else that was going on around me to focus on the sounds.
In the background I heard muffled sounds of some stupid cartoons that Lily was watching on my laptop. Alec was doing some paper work in the kitchen.
And I played. Played. Played. And Played.
Some light footsteps came to my ears, but I still tried to stay focus on my music. Then some voices, rustling of papers. And again light footsteps. Then I felt some tugging on my leg. That made me lose my concentration. My fingers slipped messing my sounds.
Growling loudly I looked down, and approached Lily smiling at me.
"Daddy will you play with me?"
"I can't honey. I have to practice. Go play with your papa"
She only left me alone for a few seconds, before she interrupted me again.
"Papa says that he works, and that you have to play with me"
"For fuck sake!" I closed my piano with a loud thud "Alec! Take her! I need to practice!"
"She's your responsibility too!" he shouted back.
"I have to practice Alec!"
"And I have work to do!" he came to the living room, glaring me "Why your practice is more important than my job, huh?! At least I make an actual money!"
"It's you who pushed me into that collage at first! So don't fucking complain that now I'm doing a career! And for that I need to practice!"
"But she's your daughter too!" he pointed at Lily, before she ran to her bedroom "You have to take care of her too! Work or not!"
"I didn't sign up for this!" Alec's blue eyes were wide open with a shock, horror and hurt "It's you who insisted on having a kid in the first place!"
"What are you saying?! So now we're not good enough for you?! We're bothering you now?!" he kept screaming "Maybe you would be better off without us?!"
"Maybe I would!"
There was a heavy, cold and hurtful silence between us, as we stood in front of each other, with an anger written all over our faces. Alec's eyes bolted up with tears, and I could feel that mine too. Some of the tears escaped my eyes. None of us dared to do even a small move. Breaths were heavy, loud. Hearts hammering. If you would hear closer you could hear mine and his heart really good.
At that moment I didn't realize what escaped my mouth seconds ago. My mind didn't want to replay those words for me, so I just stared back at Alec, until his face went red from anger and he snapped at me.
"FUCK YOU!" he raised his hand in the air, coming closer to me. My mind filled with visions from the past, when Oliver abused me. Immediately my instinct told me to move backwards, away from the danger. But Alec's hand never landed on neither of my cheeks. Instead he screamed at me more. "GET THE FUCK OUT OF MY HOME! GET THE FUCK OUT OF HERE AND MY LIFE!"
"As you fucking wish!" with that I grabbed my car keys and went out, slamming the door as hard as I could.
On the road, I tried to calm myself down, but my body wasn't having any of it. My hands were shaky on the steering wheel. My eyes were blurted with tears.
And then I realized what truly happened back in home.
"Maybe you would be better off without us?!"
"Maybe I would!"
In one moment my heart filled with pain.
How could I ever say something like that?!
Of course it was a lie. I didn't think that for real. How could I? Alec and Lily are my everything. I couldn't live without them. They are my life, the most important people for me. I couldn't survive without them. I love them the most.
In one swift move I turned the steering wheel to turn around the car. I wanted to go home to beg Alec for forgiveness. To tell him that I didn't mean those words, that I was just angry.
But it seemed that the fate decided otherwise.
The last thing that I saw were two sharp, white lights.
And then…
Nothing
A/N: Did you like it?
At first I wanted to include here also ALEC pov after the fight and all, but then I was like...nah...let's keep it for the next one.
Hopefully I'll finish the next one soon.
And let the season of the drama begins! *evil laugh* (I know I'm evil person ;) )
