Chapter 16

Pov Alec

I heard a door slam, then magnus comes down the stairs. I can tell somethings wrong but i can’t tell if he’s sad or angry, maybe both. “Magnus? Whats wrong?”

“Nothing!” he goes to the front door slamming it again.

I look up at my mom, she shrugs. I start to make my way to the stairs, when ralphiel comes running down, “magn-uoft” he runs into my chest. I wrap my arm around him, turning with the force of the unexpected hit. “Ralphie?”

He looks up at me with watery eyes, “Ma- magnus wh- where is he?”

My mom comes over putting a hand on my shoulder, “I’ve got him. Go find magnus.”

I nod, let go of ralphie, and practically run outside.

I don’t know why but i feel scared, like something’s gonna happen.

Something bad.

I pull my phone out of my pocket and call him..

No answer.

I don't even know what happened. What if it was something about his mom. What if he doesn’t feel comfortable here any more. What if he's changed his mind. What if it's actually not a big deal and i'm freaking out for no reason.

It's already night.

He's not used to the neighborhood yet, what if he's lost. What if he was kidnapped or something.

*buzz* *buzz*

I fumble and get my phone back out of my pocket, “Mags?”

“No its izzy, wants wrong?”

“Its magnus, he ran out of the house, and then ralphie was crying, and I don’t know what happened, and-”

“Okay okay calm down. Have you checked the library? He might be there. It's where he went last time”

“Okay okay..” i hang up, turn around and run to the library.

I get there a minute later, it’s nearby and i was running, I see magnus sitting in a bench and run up to him. “Mags!”

He looks around, but when his eyes fall on me, he stands and looks like he is gonna make a run for it. What the hell even happened?

I run faster, pulling him into me, practically tackling him. He almost immediately starts to cry. I sit us down on the floor, and try to look him in the eyes, “Mags?...”

“Mmn”

“Magnus please?”

“I’m sorry… but I… I thought i was… I’m sorry… ”

“What happened? Magnus?”

“I’m sorry”

After a couple seconds of silence a pair of headlights pull up and point at us, izzy’s head pops out of the car and calls out to us, “i took ralphie home…are you guys okay?”

“Uh.. yea.” i stand up and run a hand throw my hair. “Come on let’s go home.” I start to make my way to the car, open the passenger side door to get in, then notice that magnus hasn’t moved yet.

“You coming?” i ask, he looks at me lost. I shut the car door, walking over to him “come on,” i pick him up onto my back, then place him in the back seat, sitting with him. He currles into a ball against me and nuzzles his head into my chest as i stroke his hair. Izzy gives me a weird look, that i ignore as she drives us home.

When we get there i pick mags back up and carry him up the stairs and into his room, i place him on his bed, i look around the room, it really has changed a bit since it was my room. I turn to walk out but a hand reaches up and grabs my sleeve, “hm?”

“Stay, please?” magnus says to me half awake.

“Mags, i can’t you need your rest”

“Please..”

I sigh and get into the bed, i go under the duvet and curl my body around his, breathing in his scent, and slowly drifting off.

((Still editing, this whole chapter might change actually... But I thought I'd should post something to keep y'all here))
