Somebody Like You (Malec)

Chapter 25:Guess who's back?

Second update. Woohoo

  Alec's POV

  Things are getting better, my problems aren't completely gone, butt they're better. I've stopped crying because there's simply no tears to be shed. My drinking has gotten better too, but in still barely eating and don't leave my room. Others than that, I'm okay. What I'm really worried about is Sebastian. He's been kidnapping shadowhunters and turning them into dark shadowhunters, I'm worried for my family; they're all at risk now. He hasn't stopped here though, he's also been taking downworlders and having them work for him. That puts everyone else I've ever cared about at risk. "You sure you can do this." It's Isabelle, I can hear from outside my door. She and Jace are just probably figuring out a way to cheer me up again. Someone enters and I lift my head up to them, expecting Isabelle or Jace, instead I get slapped. "LUNA! THAT'S YOU'RE METHOD OF GETTING HIM UP?" Isabelle screeched.

  "Hey, it helps. Trust me, now leave and let me do my magic," Luna replies. My bedroom door closes and I'm left alone here with a old friend. She lifts her hand to slap me again but I stop her. "That's not needed you know. It's also not a nice way to say hello. 'Hi, how are you,' or 'Why are you rotting away in your room' would be more appropriate."

  "It's worked for my friends, I brought ice cream and painkillers for your headache you're probably having too. Isabelle told me you're not eating, this is close enough to a meal." She handed me a pint of mint chocolate chip ice cream and a spoon.

  "How'd you know I like mint chocolate chip?" I say as I open it, happy to get some food in my system. I'll take the pain killers later since hangovers are kind of just a numb feeling to me now.

  "Isabelle, now talk to me. You don't have to tell me exactly how it happened if you don't want to, just the basic stuff." I ended up telling the whole story, I didn't plan to originally, but it just happened. "Even after all this I still love him more than anything else."

  "Does He love you back though?"

  "I really don't know. Back in the subway he told me in Indonesian, if you knew him well, you'd know that's a big deal. But according to Jace he doesn't want me back. There were too many 'unfixable' things in our relationship, so he just won't even try."

  "THAT'S BULLSHIT. I TOTALLY SHIPPED YOU TWO. If it's really a big deal that he told you that he loved you Indonesian, then he loves you. Give him some time because he really does love you. Me, a naïve teenage girl, can see that. Back in Idris the way he looked at you, if only you could see yourself, it was  love. He kissed you as if you would dissolve between his hands any second. When we left his house I turned back to see he was sad to see you go. The pure happiness when you came out in the most spectacular way. If he doesn't love you, he's a really good actor. Which is highly unlikely.

  In fairytales when they talk about true love and true love's kiss, that's you two. It may not be tomorrow, the next month, the next year, but I don't doubt for a second that you two don't belong together. You two will eventually run into each other and talk it out, if not, I'll pay the Angel with my life to make it happen. You deserve to be happy, Alec. You deserve Magnus. If it's not meant to be, which is again extremely highly unlikely, you're a good looking gay man, you could catch another man in a second. Wait, dismiss that last thing, I don't think that helped. It's what I say to my friends who have gone through break ups. Everything else though came from the heart and was true. Every last word of it."

  "Thank you, Luna, that's really nice. You don't have to give up your life for me, though. Just so that you know, I have no idea what shipping means, but I'm guessing it's something good. Jokes aside, what you said was really deep, thank you. I'm seriously thinking you're a wise old lady under all of that hair." She gave me a sincere smile and grabbed one of the bottles on my desk.
