Where did we go wrong?

Part 11

After the mess Magnus got into a few weeks back, as his punishment, he was grounded for a month. This included not having his phone, no mall time with Izzy and Clary, no movie nights or sleepovers at Lightwood house, and no trips to Ragnor's aunts' apothecary

Finally, Magnus was done with this punishment, and he got his phone back. The first week of not having his phone was hell. His hand automatically reached for his phone as he was studying. Magnus always loved having a music session as he studied as if it were too quiet, he gets distracted and ends up not studying. He also enjoyed dancing around in his room while listening to songs on his phone whenever he felt like it. But, that month without his phone gave him enough time to be alone with his emotions and feelings and really pay attention to what he has been doing in the past few months. More than anything, he reflected on what he did for Camille. As time went on, he started realising how he was just another amusement for Camille. Camille kept him around as she knew he had a crush on her, and he would do anything she asked him to do.

Magnus had some memories of the night at Camille's. He remembered how Camille made out with other guys right in front of him. When she got bored with those guys she made out with, she came to Magnus to make up, and it made Magnus feel repulsed. So, to ease the pain in his heart, he drank, and when drinks did not do the job, he decided to drink some more. After a significant amount of alcohol, he started feeling sleepy. As he could not figure out where he was, why he was there, or even who he was, he decided to close his eyes and let the night go on.

Magnus believes in partners for the life because of his mama and papa. He adored how those two were in love even after two decades. He realised Camille is not his soulmate, or partner for life, or even partner in crime and after a month of no connection with her, Magnus finally decided to give up on that painful one side crush.

With all the emotions he was going through, he had so much to talk but unfortunately the only person in the world he can talk about anything with, was also grounded thanks to Magnus and he only got to see Alec in school. Magnus missed his Alexander, like crazy. Honestly, he thought more about Alec than about Camille. Some days, he didn't even remember Camille, while the first person he thought about as soon as he woke up was Alec. The last person he thought about when going to sleep was Alec. It did not take too long for Magnus to realise what he was actually feeling, and the last week of his punishment time was a real eye opener for Magnus.

"Little man, here is your phone. Dont misuse it this time. Are we clear?" Asmodeus handed Magnus his phone at the breakfast table.

"Oh, thank you, Papa." Magnuss voice wavered.

"Next time, I won't give you your phone back." Sera meant what she just said.

"I'm sorry, mom. I won't do anything like that again. I promise. Im really sorry." Magnus tried his best to keep his tears on bay, but he knew he was just a second away from crying. Princess is still a cry-baby.

"Don't make him cry, Sera. Alec will get angry with us." Asmodeus joked. Sera chuckled. Despite the fact that Magnus was so close to crying, he could not help but chuckle at his papa's comment because they all knew how much Alec hated someone making Magnus cry.

"So you are going to stay at Alecs place today?" Sera asked to confirm.

"Yes, Mama. We missed a lot of movie nights, and Izzy asked me for help with her project. So, its better I stay at theirs tonight and I'll video call you. So, you can see me where I am." Magnus said before drinking his orange juice.

"Magnus, we dont doubt you, baby. Sera got up from her chair to go and grab some water."

"Just dont do anything you'll regret from now on. Okay? Stay away from Camille, please. She is bad influence. I'm okay as long as you stay with Alec, Izzy, Jace, Clary Simon, and even our grumpy Ragnor. They are all good kids." Sera messed her sons styled hair by ruffling it, but Magnus loved when his mama messed up his hair.
