Together by faith

Chapter 48.

I was laying on my bed, looking at Magnus who was still fast asleep. Almost one hour has passed since I woke up, but since I didn't want to accidentally wake Magnus up, I decided to stay in bed. I was still very exhausted from the event that happened the day before and if I'm going to be honest, I never thought that Magnus would come back to me, especially not after what I screamed at him. He's the best thing that ever happened to me and if I would lose him, I would lose a part of myself, that's how much Magnus actually means to me. When I think about what happened yesterday, I regret taking those sleeping pills. What if I hadn't woken up again? What if I had died and Magnus would be the one to find my lifeless body, and not being able to wake me up? I don't know how he puked react, but from earlier experiences, I would take a wild guess and say that it wouldn't end well. If I would have died, I have a feeling that the whole situation had ended a little bit like Romeo and Juliet, because I know, no matter how much that I don't want to think about it, that Magnus wouldn't keep living his life if he found out that I died/killed myself because of something that happened between us. He would probably blame himself for my death.
- Alexander?
Speaking of the devil, look who finally decided to wake up. I turned around and met eyes with my wonderful boyfriend who gave me a faint smile.
- God morning, I said
- How are you feeling? Magnus asked and looked at me with worried eyes
- Much better now that you're here with me again, I answered
- Look, I'm sorry that I left you alone when you obviously needed me. You were scared that I would move to Indonesia with my father and leave you behind, but I can promise you one thing Alexander Lightwood, I'm never going to leave you, Magnus said
- You don't get to apologize, Magnus. I was the one who was being a rude bitch and I don't think I ever can forgive myself for screaming such terrible things at you. I love you so much and honestly, I don't think I can live without you, I answered and felt how tears made their way down my pale cheeks
- Alexander, I love you so much too. I have lived 19 years on this earth and I'm proud to say that you're the best thing that ever happened to me
Instead of answering, I pressed my lips against Magnus in a passionate kiss. Tears were still making their way down my cheeks, but instead of the feeling of sadness, I was happier than I ever have been. Magnus was back in my arms and now that I know that he's not going to move to Indonesia with his father, it felt like I was on a vacation to cloud nine.
- I'm going to talk to my dad today and tell him that I have to say no to his offer about moving. Do you want to come with me? Magnus asked after a while when we broke the kiss for air
- If you want me there, I'll be there, I answered and kissed his forehead
- Perfect
We stayed in bed for maybe one more hour until we decided that we had to start getting ready for the day. When we finally had eaten breakfast and the two of us were dressed, we left the dorm and found us a taxi that would take us to the apartment of Nicolas Bane.
- Are you nervous? I asked when I saw how Magnus was struggling with keeping his hands still
- What if he gets mad at me for now wanting to follow him back to Indonesia? Magnus answered
- I can promise you that he's not going to get mad at you, Magnus. You're his son and he loves you more than you can possibly imagine
- Yeah, I hope you're right
About 30 minutes later, we arrived outside the familiar apartment building where Magnus father lives. We payed the taxi driver and before I got the chance to think about it, we stood side by side outside the front door to his apartment.
- You ready? I asked
- As ready as I ever will be
Magnus knocked on the door and seconds later, the door opened and I met eyes with Nicolas who looked like he just had stepped out of the shower. He was wearing a pair of blue jeans with a grey sweater and his hair was wet. At first, he looked irritated that someone disturbed him, but when he saw Magnus, his facial expression changed.
- What a lovely surprise, he said and smiled at the both of us
- I'm sorry if I didn't call you first so if you're busy, we can take this another time, Magnus said and I could hear on his voice that he was worried
- Nonsense, I'm never too busy for my own son. Now, what's on your mind today? Nicolas asked
- Can we come in? I answered mostly because if Nicolas would throw a fit when he find out that Magnus wouldn't move back to Indonesia with him, we didn't have to stand outside his apartment where everyone could hear absolutely everything that we said.
- Of course
The three of us walked together into the apartment and sat down on the two couches like we did the first time we were here. The apartment looked the same as it did the last time, but I still had the feeling the feeling like something was wrong.
- Now, what can I help you guys with? Nicolas asked after a while of very awkward silence
- Remember when you asked me if I wanted to move back to Indonesia with you? Magnus answered
- Yes, I do recall remembering that. Why, have you decided? I can promise you that you won't get disappointed if you come with me. Everyone's going to get so extremely happy to see you after so long time
- I guess they have to wait a little bit longer, Magnus said quietly
- Excuse me? Nicolas asked
- I'm not moving back with you
Magnus answer made Nicolas freeze and I could tell that shit was about to go down.
- Why the fuck not? Nicolas asked with a stern voice and a raised eyebrow
- Because what I have here in New York, with Alexander, I don't want to say goodbye to that, not yet, Magnus said
- Magnus, I'm your father. If I say that I want you to move back to Indonesia with me, you're going to move back to Indonesia with me
- I'm 19 years old, which means that I'm capable of making my own decisions
- I don't care, I'm still your father, Nicolas answered
- You sure as hell doesn't act like it, I whispered under my breath
- Sorry, what? Nicolas asked and looked at me with anger in his eyes
- I said that you sure as hell doesn't act like it, I repeated, this time louder
- I'm sorry but did I ask you?
- Guys, please don't fight, Magnus said
- No, lets fight because honestly, I'm tired of watching the man I love getting treated like shit by everyone. Maybe there's a reason why Magnus doesn't want to move to Indonesia with you, you know. It's not like you have been there for him anyways, I said and looked at Magnus father
- Yeah, and you have? Come on, for how long have you guys been together? One month? Do you guys seriously think that your relationship is going to last forever? Nicolas asked
- I do, I answered
My answer made Nicolas burst out laughing and if I'm going to be honest, I would have hit him in the face if Magnus hadn't taken my hand in his.
- That's hilarious, really. You guys are just kids who doesn't know what true love is
- Shut up! Magnus said with a raised voice and I could tell that he was furious
- I'm disappointed in you, Magnus, but you know what? Now I realize why your mother killed herself. You're a anxious little freak, Nicolas said
- DON'T YOU DARE SAY THAT, YOU SON OF A BITCH, I screamed
I quickly stood up from the couch and believe me, my fist would have met Nicolas face if Magnus hadn't stood up from the couch too and pushed me away in the direction towards the front door.
- We're leaving now, he said
- If you leave now, Magnus, don't you dare come back, Nicolas answered
- That won't be a problem, I said harshly and we left the apartment
We walked together down the stairs and when we left the building, it felt like I finally could breathe again. I turned my attention towards Magnus and saw that he was standing a couple of steps away from me with closed eyes.
- Magnus, are you okay? I asked and walked over to him
- He called me a freak, Magnus whispered and I saw how tears made their way down his cheeks
- No no no, don't cry baby. You're absolutely not a freak. Do you hear me? I answered and placed kisses on his cheeks, trying to get rid of the tears
- Can we go back home to your dorm? I just want to sleep
- Of course, I said
We took a taxi back to my college and when we arrived back in my dorm, he laid down beside each other on my bed.
- You're father's an ass, I said after a while of comforting silence
- I know, Magnus answered
- I want you to know that I love you so fucking much and no matter what happens, I won't ever leave you
- Thank you, Alexander

Hello there guys😇 I hope you're all doing okay and I'm sorry if some of you wanted Magnus father to be nice and all because yeah, he isn't😂

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

STAY AWESOME
