Matthew Daddario imagines

Alec Cheated

You were sitting on the floor against your front door, sobbing loudly, tears constantly running down your cheeks. You were passed a headache, your head felt like it was in a perpetual cramp. The image of your boyfriend cheating on you flashed in front of your eyes every time you blinked.

Alec and you were celebrating your four year anniversary tomorrow, so you were busy preparing everything for your leave to the Bahamas like you've been planning for two months. But you caught him kissing someone else in the Institute's main office. He had their body pushed against the desk, pencil skirt hiked up a tiny bit. He heard your sob, he saw the pain in your eyes, but he was too late to stop you from running out.

Your heart was shattered, your soul broken. It felt horrible. You thought you had a future with Alec Lightwood, even Magnus told you that Alec was planning a surprise for you once you'd arrive at the hotel.
"Some surprise," you choked out and blew your nose in the overused tissue.

Your phone blinked relentlessly with different caller IDs and text messages. You didn't want to deal with anyone, but you had to let at least one person know you were alright otherwise they'd bring your door down. You replied to Isabelle's worried text and leaned your head back against the hard wood.

The next moment you woke up to violent knocking. Your name was being called on the other side, accompanied by the ring of your doorbell.
"(y/n), please! Open the door!"
It was Alec.
"I'm sorry, (y/n), let me explain. Please."
His voice was breaking as was his heart, but you didn't understand why - if it pained him so much, then why did he do it in the first place? You needed to find out, you needed closure.

You opened the door to meet a teary-eyed Alec. He was silent. You let him enter and stood there, both quiet.
"Things were easier with the door between, huh?"
You cracked a condescending smile, all sorts of thoughts surfacing.
"I don't have an explanation."
"You can't explain why you threw four years of our relationship away? Did you need a wake up call?"
"No. I don't know what came over me. We've been together for four years, you were my first girlfriend-"
"Oh, so it's a let's see what I've missed in the past four years. Did you honestly think I wouldn't notice? I know you, Alec. I know when you do something wrong."
"I'm sorry. All I'm asking you is to let me prove I love you."

You gazed at the far end of the corridor, tears blurring your vision.
"I don't know, Alec. I honestly don't know. I'm just so hurt. Four years..."
"I'm sorry. Please, I'll do anything."
He slid his hands down your arms, caressing them in a light pattern.
"Do you still want to go tomorrow?" You asked him carefully, gauging his reaction.
"You want to go with me?"
"It gives us time away from everything."
"Of course."
You kissed his lips, but made sure to show him that he needed to work hard to get more.
