Where did we go wrong?

Part 5

Days turned into months, and months turned into years. Before anyone realized 12 years had passed by. Kids grew up together in the same neighbourhood. Magnus, Alec Izzy, and Jace went to the same schools. After 9 years since Magnus and Alecs first met, baby Max came to their small circle. Then, an annoying red head called Clary and her bestie Simon, the chatterbox came into their life.

Their life was great. Bane family and Lightwood family became closer as time went on. Magnus called Maryse and Robert mom and dad while Alec, Izzy, Jace, and Max called Sera and Asmodeus Mama and Papa. Before parents knew their children were high schoolers. They are not babies who run around the house but bunch of teenagers who are ready to have fun at any chance they get to. Well, everyone except Alec. He is a rule follower. He respects the rules and believe rules are there for their own safety and protection buuuut Magnus can be very convincing. So, there are times when Alec also ends up doing bizarre things with his friends. After all, Alec could never say no to his princess. Life was just simply perfect. It was a little bit too perfect; it was almost as if something horrible was on its way.

So, a storm did come into their little circle. Camille came into Magnus's life, and everything started changing. In the beginning, Magnus was just amused by Camille, but little by little, he started obsessing over Camille. For some reason, Camilles' mean girl personality was extremely attractive to Magnus. Her presence demanded attention the second she entered a room. She had lovers, admirers anywhere she went. Her personality, her beauty attracted Magnus to her like a moth to a flame. As the obsession over Camille grew stronger, Magnus started becoming distant from his friends and his family little by little. He was turning into a rebellious teenager. Camilles type is the bad boy type, and Magnus desperately tried to fulfil that image, but of course, Camile did not have any feelings toward Magnus. Instead, he became her water boy. He would come when she says he would leave when she says.

"Where is he?" Jace groaned. Jace, Alec, and Izzy have been waiting for almost an hour for Magnus. They were planning to go for dinner with their friends.

"Wait, I'll call." Izzy took her phone and called Magnus. After four or five rings, Magnus answered.

"Magnus!"

"Isabelle," Magnus's voice came.

"Where the fuck are you? We have been waiting for you more than an hour."

"Izzy Language" Alec warned in the background.

"Oh, Iz I'm sorry. I'm with Camille. I don't think I'll be able to meet up today" Magnus sounded apologetic.

Izzy could feel her blood boiling as soon as Magnus mentioned Camilles name. Izzy took a deep breath as to try and calm herself and say something that would hate Magnus.

"So, you decided not to call us and inform us?" Izzy was still trying her best to be rational.

"Sorry, I forgot. I was actually going to call you.

Well, that did not go according to plan and Izzy felt something just snap.

"You know what Magnus, have fun with your fake girlfriend. This is not first time you ditched us, and we had enough. I mean I had enough." Izzy hanged up the phone before Magnus could reply.

"What's going on?" Alec asked. Jace was also curious.

"Same as usual. He is with his girlfriend, and he forgot to call us. What a bastard. And that Camille bitch... Argh I dont even want to talk about her."

"Izzy stop! Don't talk about Magnus like that!

"Alec, stop protecting Magnus. Izzy is right. Magnus should have called us. He went too far this time. He had been acting like a jerk for a while now."

"Jace..."

"Let's not worry about them. We can't let Simon and other guys wait. Let's go" Izzy pulled from her brothers hands.

"Who is it?" Camille asked while playing with Magnus's styled hair. Her strong perfume smell filled the whole room. Magnus felt she might have used perfume little bit too much this time.

"Iz" Magnus answered. He was still looking at the phone. This is the first time Izzy outburst at him like that. He couldn't believe it.

"Don't think about them when you are with me darling" Camille leaned into kiss Magnus as to distract him. She couldnt afford Magnuss mind trailing off, but Magnus pulled back.

"Sorry Camille, but I think I should go" Magnus started putting his textbooks and notebooks in his bag.

"WHAT?" Camille she quickly sat up as she was bit taken by Magnuss answer. Magnus was sitting on the chair next to her bed and his fingers started playing with a ribbon that has been tied up to his bag.

"I already helped you with your homework. Magnus stared at his nail which were painted in black and navy blue.

And.. And you said that your boyfriend is coming today... So, I better go. My friends are waiting."

"Do you really think they are still waiting for you darling. They are boring. You are the only less boring one. You can stay till Adam comes." Camille leaned into Magnus and started playing with a strand of his hair. Magnus gulped as Camilles cold fingers slightly brushed against his cheeks.

"No, I'll go" Magnus quickly got up the chair.

"See you on Monday.

"Magnus, if you leave now, you better not think about meeting me ever again" Camilles pride was hurt. Normally, Magnus would look like a puppy who got kicked whenever Camille asked him out and he never left on his own first, before.

Those words hurt Magnus so much. Magnus liked Camille. He was enchanted by her beauty, and he desperately wanted to make her, his girlfriend but to Camille, Magnus was just another lost boy to have fun with. Magnus was losing his friends while trying to impress Camille but... He liked Camille so much.

"I'll stay" Magnus said and sat down next to Camille. Camille gave Magnus a 'I knew you wouldnt leave' look. But Magnus couldn't care. Losing Camille seemed impossible. His friends will understand. He hoped. At least his Alexander will understand him.
