Together by faith

Chapter 47.

When I woke up the next morning, I was laying on the couch in Catarina's apartment. My head still hurt from yesterday and I could tell that my eyes were red from the constant crying. No matter how much I didn't want to leave Alexander's dorm the day before, I couldn't stay there, not after what he screamed at me. Fine, he was upset because he thought I would leave him, but we could have handled the situation like two grown ups instead. I stood up from the couch and since I was still dressed in the clothes that I wore yesterday, I didn't have to worry about getting dressed. Catarina has already left for work earlier in the morning, which means that I was all alone in her apartment. I took out my phone from my pocket, wondering if Alec had texted/called, but nothing. If I'm going to be honest, I got worried that something might have happened to him. I know, I'm probably being a hypochondriac, but if something would happen to Alexander, I would never forgive myself. If doesn't matter if we're mad at each other or not, he's still the most important thing in my life. I quickly grabbed myself a coffee and thereafter, I left Catarina's apartment. Since I still don't have a driving license and I was way too lazy to walk all the way back to Alec's college dorm, I found a taxi and told him my destination. 20 minutes later, I arrived outside Alec's college, so I payed the taxi driver and walked in. When I finally arrived outside Alexander's dorm, I knocked on the door, but when no one opened the door, I got more worried than I ever have been. I knocked again and started to snatch the door handle and in my surprise, the door wasn't locked. I quickly walked into the door and immediately started looking for Alexander. When I couldn't find him in the kitchen or in the living room, it felt like I was dying. I ran into his room and that's when my heart broke into a million pieces. Alec was laying on his bed, it looked like he was fast asleep, but I could tell that something was wrong. I walked up to his lifeless body and started to search for his pulse. When I found it, my heart broke even more. His pulse was very slow and when I saw the bottle that contained sleeping pills, I understood why.
- Dammit Alexander, I said out loud and started to shake his non moving body
When I didn't get any reaction, I did what I had to do and ran to the kitchen to grab a saucepan that I filled with cold water. When the saucepan reached the weight that I almost couldn't carry it, I turned off the water and quickly walked back to Alexander's bedroom. He was still lying lifeless on his need so I took the saucepan a turned it upside down over his face. I guess that the cold water chocked his body because just as the water hit him, his eyes flew open and he started couching.
- By the angel, Alexander. Don't you ever dare scaring me like that, I said and threw my arms around his body
I couldn't care less that he was soaking wet because the only thing that really mattered was that his pulse finally had returned back to normal.
- Magnus? He asked with a raspy voice
- I'm here baby, I answered and hugged his body even harder
- You came back?
- I'll always come back, Alexander. I love you so much
- I-I thought I lost you, Alec stuttered and tears were streaming down his already soaked cheeks
- You're never going to lose me, I answered and kissed his forehead
I held his trembling body against mine and Alexander cried against my shoulder. We sat like that for over ten minutes, just embracing each other in silence. The only sound that really could be heard was the sound of Alec's quiet sobbing and the sound of my heartbeat who still hasn't calmed down since I found him.
- I'm so sorry, Magnus. I shouldn't have screamed that your father didn't about you, but I was terrified that you would move to Indonesia and leave me here, Alec whispered after a while
- You have nothing to apologize for, my dear Alexander, I whispered back and kissed his forehead one more time
I could tell that Alec was still crying and the sound he made, made my heart clench inside of my body.
- Come one, lets get you dressed in dry clothes, I said and carefully stood up
- Help me, he answered
I did what he said and helped him up from the bed, and all the way to the bathroom, he leaned against my body. When we came into the bathroom, I started to fill the bathtub with hot washed and thereafter, I helped Alec take off his clothes. Minutes later the bathtub was filled with water and I helped Alexander to get in without hurting himself.
- Thanks, he said and smiled
- You took care of me when it felt like my life didn't matter anymore, now I'm taking care of you, I answered
- I hate feeling this weak, but when I thought that you left and wouldn't come back, I didn't know what to do
- Hey, it's okay. I'm not going to leave you, I said and stroke my hand through his wet hair
- You're not? Alec asked and looked at me with wide eyes
- Of course not, Alexander. I love you way too much. I wouldn't last one day without you, I answered
- I love you too
I pressed a soft kiss on his lips and when he kissed back, I felt how my heartbeat got back to normal. Alec sat in the bathtub for half an hour and when he finally were dry and dressed again, we walked into his bedroom and laid down beside each other on the bed.
- I'm sorry if I scared you and all, you know, with the sleeping pills, Alec said after a while of comforting silence
- You scared me to death, but I forgive you, because I guess that I finally understand how you felt when I almost jumped from the Empire State Building, I answered and looked at him
- Yeah, I was terrified
- Alexander, let us never ever fight again. I love you so much and I don't ever want to lose you
- I don't want to lose you either, Alec answered and kissed my cheek
It didn't take very long time until the two of us fell asleep in the comfort of each other. It was a different kind of feeling to see Alexander that broken and if I'm going to be honest, it's a sight that I don't ever want to see again.

Hello there angels😇 How are you all feeling today? I'm in school right now but since I hate it more than anything else, I decided to update instead of studying to my math test that I unfortunately have in one hour

I love you all so much and thanks for always supporting me❤️

Q: It looks like Magnus won't move to Indonesia and leave Alec, but how will his father react when he says no?
