I was standing in the middle of Alexander's college dorm and tried to keep myself together. I got realised from the hospital earlier this morning but unfortunately, I had use crutches since my knee got messed up badly after the fall. If I'm going to be honest, I had no idea why Alec helped me. We barley knew each other and now, he had thrown out his own roommate so I could stay with him instead of going back to Raphael. Alexander did everything so I would feel as welcome as possible, but it felt like I couldn't look at him. The truth is, I was beyond ashamed. I had tried to kill myself just because of some shit that my idiotic stepfather told me. How could I have been so weak? Alec must hate me. I bet he's only letting me stay here with him because he's pitying me or something.
- Magnus, are you okay? You have started into the wall for 10 minutes, Alec suddenly said which made me break out of my trance
- I'm fine, I answered and tried to give him a comforting smile
- Look, I know that you're not fine, okay? But please, I want you to know that you always can talk to me
- Thank you, Alexander
I went into the room that before this day had been Sebastian's, but now belonged to me. It wasn't really anything special. The room was pretty small with a single bed in the right corner. The room also had two windows, a writing table and a wardrobe that featured some of my clothes that didn't get destroyed by Raphael. You see, while I had been asleep earlier today, Alec and Izzy had gone to my apartment that I shared with Raphael and grabbed some of my stuff. Fortunately, Raphael was fast asleep so no one got injured.
- I hope you'll feel safer here. It maybe isn't the best, but you'll learn to see it as your home. At least for now, Alexander said when he came into my room
- It's better than staying with Raphael
- Magnus, I'm so sorry for everything that you have been through. If I had knew about this, I would have gotten you out of there a lot faster
- It's not your fault, Alexander, I said
- Can you promise me one thing? He asked and looked at me
- Yeah, of course
- If you ever feel like you have nothing to live for, please talk to me. I know that we don't know each other that well, but seeing you like that, so incredible broken, it made me weak
- I promise, I answered
Alec left my room after a while, claiming that I needed to rest. I guess he was right. The truth is, I was exhausted. I've been through a lot of pain, but this gotta be the worst. My whole body hurt and even if I took painkillers, it wasn't enough. The only thing I could do right now, was sleep. I changed into a pair of more comfortable clothes and laid down on the bed. It was more soft that any bed I ever had laid in, and it only took seconds for me to fall heavily asleep. I don't know for how long time I slept, but when I woke up, I met eyes with Isabelle who sat on the edge of my bed.
- Hey, Mags. How are you feeling? She asked and smiled at me
- A little bit better. Thank you, Izzy
- Magnus, if I had knew how you felt, I wouldn't have left you that day at the coffee shop. I would have stayed with you and kept you company. I'm so sorry
- Isabelle, it's not your fault. You didn't know and even if you had, I don't think it would have changed anything. Raphael would still have told me those horrible things and I would probably still have jumped from the balcony, I answered and did everything in my power not to look her in the eyes. If I would, I would probably start crying
- I'm glad that Alec took you in. You deserve so much better, Magnus. We're never going to let anything happen to you again, okay? You're safe here
- I don't know how I ever will thank you and your brother, Isabelle. You both are so nice to me, I said
- You deserve happiness, just like everyone else, she answered
I was about to say something in return, but Alexander walked into the room and smiled at the two of us.
- Hey, are you guys okay? He asked and looked at me
- Yeah, I answered
- I'm going to leave you guys alone. Besides, I have to do some grocery shopping for tonight anyways. I'll see the two of you later, Isabelle said and thereafter, she left the room
- For how long did I sleep? I asked
- Maybe about two hours, but don't worry. I'm glad that you're able to sleep after everything that have happened, Alec answered and sat down beside me at the edge of the bed
- Well, I don't feel like I have gotten hit by a train anymore, I said and laughed
- That's good
I don't know for how long we sat in silence. Seconds? Minutes? Maybe even hours? But I didn't want it any other way. Alexander was stunning. I couldn't help myself but starring at him. His jet black hair and his eyes. Oh my god, his eyes. They looked like diamonds. If I'm going to be honest, I've never seen someone as beautiful as him.
- Can you believe it? He suddenly asked which made me flinch a little
- What do you mean?
- A couple of days ago I could never have guessed that I would befriend a 19 years old guy named Magnus Bane. At least not because of my favourite novel
- How did you know my last name? I asked confused because I don't remember ever telling him that
- The girl at the coffee shop told me
- Oh, okay. I agree with you though. I mean, I have never really had any friends and suddenly you came into my life. Damn, you even came looking for me when I didn't answer you, I answered
- That's what friends are for, Alec said and smiled a gorgeous smile at me
- Thank you. I mean it, for everything. If I wouldn't for you, I would probably be dead or sleeping in the street
- Magnus, we will get through this. Do you hear me? Together
- Together, I answered
We continued talking for what felt like hours and we got to know a lot more about each other. For example, I got to know about his family and how they reacted when he accidentally came out. Honestly? I never could have guessed that Alexander was gay. I mean, he looks as straight as a freaking pencil, but I guess I was wrong. I didn't tell him about my sexuality tough. Mostly because I didn't want to make things awkward between the two of us. The truth was, I was falling for Alexander and dammit, I was falling hard.
Hey guys🙈 How are you all? Magnus is fine and have now moved in with Alec. How will things turn out from here? Will Magnus finally open up his heart? Does Alec has his own demons? COMMENT what you think😘
I love you all so much❤️
