High School // Malec

Chapter 67.

Four days has passed since Magnus got released from the hospital and I finally felt relaxed enough to let him be alone for a while. Magnus refuses to talk about the awful situation with his psychopathic stepfather and I try my best to keep my head clear of the painful thoughts, but I can't help but fear that the damage is worse than I can tell and that Magnus is suffering much more on the inside. He tells us all that he's fine, but I know that he's lying to make us all feel much better. Except from using the bathroom and eating a little, Magnus hasn't left the comfort of my bedroom. His head is hurting badly due the seriousness of his head trauma. I even asked him if he wanted stronger pills for the pain, but Magnus refused to take any kind of stronger medication. A couple his ribs are still broken, which also is a pretty good reason why he is staying in my bed. For most of the time, he's quiet and I can't help but fear that I  the one to blame for all of this. All of this wouldn't have happened if I just had been a better boyfriend. Magnus was finally happy and now he's once again hurting because of me. I won't ever forgive myself if Magnus would fall into a depression, exactly like he did when his mother died. I am glad that he at least eats sometimes and I even heard him talking to Izzy, a few words but it was better than silence  The worst thing is that I know about something that Magnus doesn't. The police called yesterday and what one of them told us was heartbreaking in a way, but also the best news we had gotten in months. They had gotten a lot of complains from neighbours of Magnus's apartment about an awful smell and when they checked it out, they had found Magnus's stepfather dead in the bathroom. He had killed himself by taking an overdose and I guess that the awful smell that some of the neighbours complained about was the smell of death. A few of the polices thinks that he did it because of what he did towards Magnus, but
I really don't think so. I think he did it so he could escape the fact that he was the one in charge of a teenager than he didn't even care at all about.
Mother and I decided that we would wait and tell Magnus about his own stepfather until he feels better. I do not want him to fall harder than he already is into a possible depression that I might not be able to save him from in time before he decides to do something incredible stupid. I know that Magnus barley cares about his psychopathic stepfather, but I'm not sure that he'll be very happy about it especially not since this is one more suicide he had to deal with. I let out
a loud sigh as I laid down on my bed beside a sleeping Magnus. They day had mostly contained me trying my best to comfort Magnus while all he did was to insist that he was okay. I gave up after a while and the rest of the night we spent in front of the TV that played some documentary. I did barley pay any attention at all to the stupid documentary, but Mags seem to enjoy it and that made me glad. I carefully dragged my finger through Magnus's hair and before I fell into a deep sleep, I kissed Magnus's cheek.
