Love In Song

Magnus and Camille

I was sitting in my loft thinking about everything that happened since I met her. We met back in high school, and I was head over heels for her. I did everything I could to impress her, even turning my back on my best friends Catarina and Ragnor.

After we broke up I said I was never going back to her. My friends didn't believe it but they supported me. Last week was the last straw. I had to end it once and for all I was done playing her mind games.

I texted her asking if we could meet up at my place in an hour.

To Camille: hey can you come over in an hour we need to talk.

From Camille: Sure I'll be there. ;)

I shuddered when I saw the winking face. I can't believe I let her control me for so long. We were in our third year of college and I knew I was in a toxic relationship. I never let myself believe it though. I always pinned it off as a misunderstanding on my part.

Last week when I saw her harassing that cute shy boy from my drama class my blood ran cold. I walked right up to her and said, "Camille, sour patch, would you mind stepping away from my new friend he hasn't done anything wrong to you." She looked at me dumbfounded that I'd talked to her like that then I stepped in front of Alec, I believe is his name.

Then I said, "Also don't bother stopping by tonight we're done. Everyone looked shocked. Yes I'd stood up to her a couple times before but nothing like this. I grabbed Alec's hand and dragged him to my favorite café on campus. Camille never liked this place so I didn't get to come her often but luckily one of my friends worked here so she knew how to fix my drink.

I walked into the café and waved to Clary who gave a thumbs up and made two coffees. We sat down at a booth and we started talking. Clary came over and gave us our drinks.

"So Magnus, where's Camille? She's not taking one of her sick days. And no offense but you're always glued to her side when she goes to class. So you hardly have time to stop by."

I blushed sheepishly at that and bent my head. "Well my dear biscuit there is no offense taken because I am aware of my actions. Also I'll have you know that I just publicly dumped Camille while she was harassing poor Alexander. For good this time."

"One nice. Honestly I didn't think you had the guts to do it in public. Second I'm not going to hold my breath on this being the last time I hear you're dating Camille."

Before I could protest she turned to Alec and asked, "So Alec besides the fact that Magnus just saved your life how do you know him?"

He chuckled and it was the most beautiful sound I've ever heard. "Good one Clare." We both gave him a look that said 'this is no joke.'

"Alec she can destroy your life on and off campus. You think that bully in high school was bad she's worse."

He looked petrified now. "Wait I'm confused how do you know Alexander?"

"Magnus this is Alec Lightwood my boyfriends' brother along with my best friends' brother."

I was about to say something then she said, "Magnus I would love to keep talking but I need to get back to work. Sorry." She said and gave me a kiss on the cheek. Even though Alexander doesn't seem like that much of an affectionate person she went over and gave him a hug.

A ding sound brought me out of my thoughts. That day was so clear in my head like it happened yesterday when in reality it happened a week ago. I downed my drink and answered the door.

"Magnus my dear, how are you?"

"Quit with the small talk Camille."

"Always right to the point. Huh Magnus?" She smirked
