Together by faith

Chapter 20.

Friday had finally arrived and when I left my last class for the day, it felt amazing. After a very long time, I would meet my family again this weekend and honestly, I was happy about it. It's been years since we have spent time together, like a real family and if I'm going to be honest, I have actually missed them. Max, Izzy and Jace aren't just my siblings, but also my best friends. We have been standing close to each other since the day we were born and I don't know what I would do without them. Fine, Izzy was the only one who truly accepted me for my sexuality, but that doesn't mean that I don't love Jace and Max just as much. I can't really say the same thing about my parents though. My mother, she's okay. She may not be the dream mother, but when it comes down to it, she would do anything to protect us, at least Max. Dad though, he's the worst. He has always treated me, Jace and Izzy like his soldiers. If we did something wrong, or something that he didn't like, we had to pay for it. I'm happy to say that he never have hurt us, at least not violently. Some words were worse to hear than others, but he has never ever laid a finger on any of us, and for that, I thank the angels. In summary, we're a pretty tough family, and we all have something that defines us. I guess you can say that we Lightwoods has a reputation. We break noses and take the consequences, or something like that. Anyways, I said before, I'm happy to finally meet my family again, but something was bothering me. Magnus. I know that I asked him to come with me and celebrate Thanksgiving with the Lightwoods, but how would my family react? More specific, how would my father react? When he found out I was guy, he was furious. I swear, if Izzy hadn't come between the two of us, he would have killed me. All I want is for my parents to accept me for who I am, and Magnus is a part of me. Directly when I asked him if he wanted to join us, I could hear that he got nervous. I mean, of course he got nervous. I have only told him bad things about my family. The thing is, Magnus comes from a abusive home, and I really want him to feel safe in the same environment as my family. Sure, Izzy already loves him and can't wait for our wedding, and I know that he has met Jace a couple of times. Max won't probably care that much since he's too young to understand, and I really hope that my mother will accept and love him just as much as I do. They're not the problem, the problem is my dad. I don't know what will come out of that stupid mouth of his, and if it hurt Magnus, I don't know if I can control myself. Magnus has already been through too much and I don't know how he will react if he gets hate from his boyfriends dad. Jesus, I'll never get used to that word. He's my boyfriend. How could I get this lucky? My thought were interrupted by a large figure that was slammed into my own. Since I'm tall and extremely clumsy, I couldn't keep my balance which lead to the fact that I ended up on the floor on my way back to my dorm.
- Lightwood, there you are. How's my favorite faggot doing?
I looked up from where I was sitting on the floor and met eyes with the person I hate the most at this college. Sebastian, great. He's probably going to kill me.
- What do you want? I asked and collected all of my papers and books that ended up on the floor together with me and thereafter, I stood up
- I payed your new roommate a little visit this morning. Isn't he wonderful? What's his name now again, Magnus? Sebastian answered and laughed out loud
- What did you do to him?
- Don't worry, I didn't beat him if that's what you're wondering. No, that would be totally meaningless. His stepfather does is well enough
- How do you know about that? I asked
- Come on, don't be stupid. Everyone at this college knows about the famous Magnus Bane and his abusive stepfather. Well, everyone except you, of course
- What are you talking about?
- Please, haven't you heard the stories? Everyone's telling them, Alec. How the poor Magnus Bane had to grow up alone with an abusive stepfather after his mother killed herself. Do you want to know why she did it? Because she hated herself for giving birth to a monster, Sebastian answered and smiled that disgusting evil smile of his
- SHUT UP, I screamed
No one is allowed to speak like that about the man I love. I don't know how Sebastian know all of this, but it's not true. Magnus is not a monster.
- Time to open your eyes, Alec. If you're fucking that poor bastard, you better break it off before he decides to try to kill himself again
That's it. I won't tolerate this bastard saying things like this about the most beautiful man in the whole universe. I don't know what came over me and I didn't really get a chance to think about it twice, but seconds later my fist connected with Sebastian's face.
- WHAT THE HELL? He screamed and backed away from me
- I'm a Lightwood, you idiot. We break noses and take the consequences
Let me just say that it was about damn time that I lived up to my family name and it actually felt amazing to finally show Sebastian what I could do. Well, until he decided to be a dick and hit me back, straight in my face. I guess this is the consequences of being a Lightwood.
- If you touch me one more time, I swear to the angels that I'll find you, and I will kill you, Sebastian said and with that, he left me standing alone in the middle of the corridor. Well, that could have turned out a lot better. I can't help it do. I'm never going to tolerate that anyone speaks about Magnus like that. I could tell that a bruise around my left eye started to form and if I'm going to be honest, it hurt like hell. Dammit, now what? I gathered the last of my papers which still was on the floor, and then I walked back to my dorm. When I stepped inside the living room, I found Magnus walking around while holding his phone. He took one look a me and told the person he was talking to that he had to call back.
- Alexander, what happened? He asked when he had hung up
- Nothing, don't worry about it, I said
- You can't just come back from class with a bruise on your face and tell me not to worry about it. Please Alexander, tell me
- Sebastian said some things and when I hit him, he decided to be a dick and hit me back, straight in the face
- You hit him first? Magnus asked surprised with wide eyes
- Yeah, I said and sat down at the couch
- What did he say to you? It must have been bad if you decided to hit him
- He said some bad things about you, I couldn't help it, I whispered
- Alexander
- I know, I shouldn't have hit him, but the things he was saying, they were horrible. Never in a million years that I would tolerate something like that
- What did he say? Magnus said and sat down beside me
- I don't want to tell you, I answered
- Please, it won't matter anyways because it's probably not even true
- He said things about your mum. That she hated herself for giving birth to a monster, and that's why she killed herself
- Oh, Magnus said and faced the floor
- Like you said, it's not true. I just want to know one thing. Sebastian said that everyone at this college knows about you, and Raphael. How? I asked
- Because of Camillie
- Camillie? That girl who didn't understand the deffiniton of a one nightstand? I said
- Yes. When I left her, she got furious. I guess that she wanted revenge because of what I had done to her, so she told a lot of people about me and my past
- She had no right to do that. Magnus, why didn't you call the police?
- It doesn't matter. What's done is done and I can't turn back time, he answered
- What are you talking about? Of course it matters. People are trash talking you because of what she told them, I said
- I don't want to talk about it
- Guess what? I want to talk about it. Why didn't you do anything? Why did you let her treat you like a piece of garbage?
- BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT AM I
- Don't say that
- I have go. I need some air or something, he said and with that, he stood up from the couch and left the dorm before I got the chance to stop him
Great Alec, you just upset your own boyfriend and probably fucked up your first relationship.

Hey guys😇 They had their first fight. Where did Magnus go? Will he be back, or will something happen to him before he gets the chance to return?
