You're my Angel

Chapter 1

Hi guys, thank you so much for reading You're my safe haven. I hope you enjoy this story :) 

This had to be a nightmare Jonathan couldn't be there he just couldn't. But he was and the closer Jonathan stepped to Alec the more terrified he became. Alec wanted to run but he was frozen in place. Jonathan tried to take Alec's hand but Alec felt himself being pulled away from him and Magnus put Alec behind him, Jace and Simon. 

"How dare you try to touch Alexander!" Magnus said furiously. 

"I just want to talk to Alec. I remember you, you said you love Alec but I don't even know who you are".

Magnus was about to speak but Alec spoke, "Magnus don't tell him I don't want him to target you", he whispered and Magnus nodded in understanding. His heart warmed at Alec's protective tone. "How are you even here?" Magnus asked instead. 

Jonathan grinned, "Let's just say I have some very powerful friends. Look I know you all think I'm here to hurt Alec but I'm not. I've been thinking a lot about what you said Alec and I want to change and become a good man again". 

"You really expect me to believe that?" 

"No. I have hurt you so much and I hate myself for that, I want to do everything I can to prove this to you. I had to do a lot to persuade my friends to help me get out of jail, as of course they were furious with me for treating you the way I did. Nearly going to jail has put things in perspective for me. I know I may never win your heart back but I want to try and be a good man either way". 

Alec opened his mouth several times but no words came. There was a big part of him that saying Jonathan was lying and trying to manipulate him again. But Jonathan's words seemed sincere and he thought he saw some of the Jonathan he had met four years ago. Alec had long ago fallen out of love with Jonathan but he still missed the kind man he had once been. Also Alec loved it in Southport and he didn't want to run, if Jonathan was telling the truth and would really let him go Alec would be able to stay with Magnus and his friends. Alec was brought out of his thoughts when Magnus took his hand. 

"You don't believe him do you Alexander?"

Alec sighed, "I don't know what to believe". 

"Alec I have a friend here, I'm going to stay for a while and prove this to you. If I fail then I promise I will go back to New York". 

Alec took a deep breath and nodded. 

"Thank you so much Alec you have no idea how much this means to me". 

"I don't think this is a good idea", Jace said. 

"Yeah Jonathan is so dangerous you can't trust him", Simon added. 

"I'm not saying I trust him, I just want to give Jonathan one more chance". 

"Alexander, it isn't safe to do this and it certainly isn't safe for you here while Jonathan is in Southport no matter what he says". 

"You want me to leave?" Alec said unable to keep the hurt out of his voice. 

"Of course not, but I don't want to see you hurt ever again". 

"The police here know the truth now, I will have even more protection". 

"Alec I promise I wont hurt you again", Jonathan said and tried to get to Alec but Jace blocked him. 

"Don't even try it and if you do hurt him again I will make you pay!" Jace said angrily. 

"Wait if you're here is Miles here too?" Simon asked trying not to show his fear. 

After glaring at Jace Jonathan turned to Simon, "My friends got him out of jail too but I thought it would be too overwhelming if he came as well and he agreed. Miles is trying to change too". 

Simon's fear increased he didn't believe that at all and gratefully leaned into the touch when Jace put his arm comfortingly around him. 

"Can I please talk to you alone Alec", Jonathan pleaded. 

"That's never happening", Alec said. 

"Magnus take Alec upstairs", Jace said. 

Alec was so relieved when Magnus took him away from Jonathan. 

Jace glared at Jonathan, "Alec may be starting to believe you but there is no way we do". 

"We will do whatever it takes to protect him from you", Simon added trying to put aside his own fear for Alec's sake. 

Jonathan just smirked and turned to Simon. Jonathan raked his eyes up and down his body freaking Simon out. "Wow Miles is right you are pretty. My heart belongs to Alec but I don't see why we can't have some fun". Jonathan said and tried to grab Simon but Jace pushed Jonathan away and stood protectively in front of Simon who tried to calm his pounding heart. Jonathan tried again but Jace punched him hard in the face and used the distraction to push him out of his house. 

"Stay away from Simon and Alec!" Jace shouted and threw Jonathan out of his house. "Are you okay?" Jace asked as pulled Simon into a hug. 

"Yeah thank you for saving me", Simon said shakily. "But what are we going to do now? We can't stop Alec from giving Jonathan a chance to redeem himself and Miles is out there".

"I don't know Simon. I don't know. But I will do everything I can to protect you and Alec", Jace said feeling terrified for his loved ones.
