(Isabelle POV)
The phone line went dead and she turned to the mirror wiping away the tears on her cheeks regaining composure she walked herself downstairs, taking deep gulping breathes. Her hands were trembling but she his them in the pockets of her jeans. Max was already down with Mayrse clung to his leg giggling. He didn't know he was too young to understand those screams. And her mother hadn't looked so happy in forever so Isabelle painted on a fake smile as she always did for the ones around her.
He looked up and smiled as if the past had been wiped from his memory.
Isabelle's voice shook a little. "Hello, father."
(Alec and Magnus POV )
Alec remained motionless in Magnus's arms continuing to murmur,hands covering his face his shook like a fragile leaf in a gusty breeze.
"Baby it's okay."
"You don't understand!" Alec snapped "I have to go over there right now, I have to face him and I'll have to go through all that again." Alec stood sighing, shuffling into the bedroom closing the door. Magnus still knelt of the floor running hands through his hair to spike it back up, and with a finger snap his eyeliner was un-smudged.
About ten minutes later Alec emerged in his best pair of jeans (which had only one small rip which he had poorly patched) and a handsome navy and white striped sweater that Isabelle had given him for Christmas the year before. This was the first time Magnus had seen him wear it, and he looked beautiful in it. Contrasting well with his dark hair and bringing out the blue to his eyes.
Magnus stood kissing him on the cheek, "you look phenomenal darling." He shrugged on his jacket. "Ready to go?"
Alec huffed his voice heavy. "Your not coming."
Magnus's eyes widened shocked "Whyever not?!"
Alec ran his hands roughly over his face, Magnus had never seen him so tired and fed up. There were dark circles forming beneath his eyes. "It's already bad enough that father found out I was gay, but if he knows I have a boyfriend it will make it even worse. It's not that I don't want to bring you with me Magnus I would love to but it can't be like this."
"S-so..." Magnus's voice was alarmed. "Are you breaking up with me?!"
Alec's eyes widened and he threw his hands out wards. "No no no! It's just he can't ever see us together mom and Isabelle are fine just not dad! Understand?"
Magnus nodded silently, understanding. Alec leaned in giving him his goodbye kiss promising he'd only be gone an hour, and with that he had rushed out the door of the apartment. Alec hadn't realized in a way this was making Magnus feel as if they didn't exsist. That their was now two Alec's spilt up in different worlds and he only got half it wasn't fair.
And for once in his life Magnus was happy to see his lover walk away from him, so that Alec couldn't see the tears he cried after the door had shut between them.
