Alicante High (A Malec Fanfic)

Next To You

I'm back! Did you miss me? Sorry for the long update. But on brighter news, I will keep writing this. Love me later. Now, enjoy!

Alec shuffled through his drawer and throwing all his clothes into a duffle bag. Tears filled his eyes as he debated if he should bring anything else. All the photos in his room included his siblings and parents, and he didn't want to remember them. He needed to bring his school stuff, considered it's been five months since he's been to school and he still wanted to graduate.

Once all his clothes and a few small items were put away, he shrugged both the duffle bag and his school bag over his shoulders. He looked around and noticed something laying on his nightstand.

The raven haired boy walked to the stand and saw a large stack of money with a note.

'Dear Alec,

Jace, Max, and I all took as much money as we can from our accounts without mom and dad knowing. They probably have or if not, will cancel yours so we decided to give you some money just so you could help Magnus with payments or even have some spending money. Also, look into the drawer....'

Alec raised an eyebrow and opened the drawer. He covered his mouth with shock.

It was a photo of his siblings and him. Just the four of them, laughing and acting like a perfect family. Underneath it was a new phone with his number and other information.

'Just so we can stay in contact.

Love, Isabelle, Max, and Jace.'

Alec wiped a tear from his face and grabbed the photo and phone. He shuffled out of the room and closed the door.

Magnus leaned against the door frame of the guest room as Alec placed all his clothes into drawers. The blue eyed boy moved slowly and placed everything carefully. Magnus pitied the younger male. He never experienced the disappointment of being kicked out, just the experience of almost being killed.

"If you need me, I'll be in room next to you," Magnus said, standing up taller. Alec just stared at Magnus.

"Okay," he said simply, almost in a monotone voice. Magnus gently closed the door and entered the room next to him. He leaned his head against the wall and let his finger feel the thing separating him and the blue-eyed boy.

Little did he know, Alexander was doing the same thing, leaning against the wall that lead to Magnus's room, wishing that he was there to help.
