Somebody Like You (Malec)

Chapter 23: The Blond Ruins Everything

I see this chapter as a bit choppy, excuse that please.

Alec's POV

  These days where I have to wake up at one am and wait for Isabelle's letter are becoming part of my daily schedule. It's odd because I'm not a morning person, but I don't show it as much as Jace and Isabelle. So instead of groaning and complaining, I just really need some coffee and I'm mostly silent; so when I'm gladly drinking coffee and talking with Magnus, it's definitely a new thing. Magnus and I talk while he makes the portal and we await Izzy's letter, hopefully what Magnus told her last time discouraged the wedding planning because if she went even farther I would've never returned home, afraid to face her, or had a mental breakdown, or both. We are currently in India and it was great. The culture, the food, and the fact that Magnus wore a sari. At first I would not let him go out in public like that, but after arguing about it for a while I lost and he went out in a sari. It was definitely one if his weirdest outfits yet, and that's coming from me who is the most accepting of his outfit choices. "So how do you think everyone I'd doing back home, or more importantly, what are we going to do about Julie. She doesn't seem to be backing down anytime soon."

  "My family should be doing fine. I mean Clary's mom is marrying Luke, the werewolf pack leader, he's nice. Sebastian is a growing threat, which is the bad part, hopefully they can keep that under control, I'm confident in them. As for that bitch-slut who goes by the name Julie, I have no idea. She better back down soon or I might just throw her off a cliff and watch her burn. Why don't we just find out we're she lives and I hold a giant sign outside her window saying 'I'm gay, now fuck off' maybe she'd hopefully stop then. Or we could tell her sister, Luna, to bash it into her mind that I don't want her. Or-."

  "Or I could set a spell on her pet, if she has one, or we get her one, to make it into a rampaging monster. Depending on Izzy's letter today it might work."

  "Actually I was going to say enchant a piece of jewelry or something so that it does something bad to her, but that works too." We talked for a bit more, but when the clock hit 1:47 Mganus started counting down. Once he reached one Izzy's letter was on time. For some reason she always has them come around this time. I picked it up, mentally preparing myself for what she has in store for me this time.

Dear Alec and Magnus

How are you? Everything's just fine here. Thanks for the postcard with the picture if the Taj Mahal. It looks nice. Disregard my last few postcards. I see I overdid it. To make it up to you, I'm going to redecorate Magnus's loft for free.

-Izzy

  I gave the letter to Magnus with a smile on my face. I gave him a hug and buried my head in the crook of his neck. "Have I ever told you I love you? Because I do." He gave a small laugh.

  "Actually many times, what's with the sudden display of affection?"

  "I'm just glad you got her to stop. All of your threats must've worked."

  "I'm glad you're happy about it. Here's the letter back, and give me some more time to set up the portal. It's almost finished."

  "Okay." We continued talking for a while, while he worked on the portal. In about half an hour the portal was up. "To be nice I'll actually tell you were we're going. Sydney, Australia to be exact."

  "Magnus, that's great."

  "Well don't just stand there and thank me, go see for yourself." He gave me a small push and I walked through the portal. A flash of colors went before my eyes and I landed on a soft patch of grass looking over a large body of water. The water was the bluest water I've ever seen, Magnus might've compaired it to my eyes, which were a cerulean blue, but it was true. In the distance you could see the Sydney Opera House. A pair of legs maimed mine on the grass. "Beautiful isn't it?"
