You're my Angel

Chapter 3

Hi guys, I hope you enjoy this chapter :) 

Magnus smiled happy to see Harvey again. Magnus hugged Harvey and Alec couldn't help but notice that they hugged for longer than necessary but he tried to stop himself from being jealous. A young man came in and stood beside Harvey the two shared a smile, Harvey then put his arm around his waist.

 "Harvey this is my boyfriend Alec, and this is Simon".

"Pleasure to meet you both this is my boyfriend Mike". 

"Hey guys", Mike said. After Alec and Simon greeted them Alec went to the kitchen to make some coffee while the others started to work on how to get Jonathan in jail. After a few minutes Mike joined Alec in the kitchen. "Need some help?"

"Yeah thanks", Alec said and Mike joined Alec in making the coffee, "It's kind of weird isn't it?"

Mike looked at Alec in confusion, "What is?" 

"Our boyfriends working together". 

"Why would that be weird?" 

Alec's eyes widened when he realized Harvey must not have told Mike about his past with Magnus. "Um... no reason". Alec stammered. 

Mike raised an eyebrow skeptically, "Please tell me the truth". 

Alec sighed, "I'm sorry I shouldn't say". 

Mike stalked out of the kitchen, "Mike wait!" Alec said and hurried after Mike. 

"Why didn't you tell me you were with Magnus?" Mike said having worked it out. 

"What how-did you tell him?" Harvey shouted at Alec making him flinch and to his dismay Magnus glared at him. 

"Hey don't shout at Alec", Simon said at the same time as Mike spoke. 

"You didn't answer the question". 

"I'm sorry I was just worried you wouldn't want to work the case".

"That wouldn't have changed my decision Harvey, it just hurts that you didn't tell me", Mike said and stormed into the garden and Harvey followed him. 

"Alec, they were trying to help us and now you have derailed our progress!" Magnus shouted angrily making Alec flinch again. 

"I'm sorry I didn't mean to-"

"You may not have meant to but that doesn't change the fact that you did". 

"I didn't know Harvey wanted to keep this from him". 

Magnus grabbed Alec's wrists making Alec panic, "I'm trying to save you and you are not helping-". 

Magnus was cut off by Simon, "Hey guys let's not fight, Magnus, Alec has a point he didn't know". 

Magnus glared at Simon and Alec and after letting go of Alec's wrists left the room. Simon put a hand on Alec's shoulder, "Are you okay?" 

Alec sighed, "This is all my fault". 

"You couldn't have known you're not psychic, unless there's something you want to tell me?" Simon said making Alec feel a bit lighter. 

Jace came in at that moment, "Simon can I talk to you?" Jace said anxiously.

"Um sure", Simon said worried by the sadness in Jace's eyes. After giving Alec a reassuring hug Simon followed Jace up the stairs. "Jace what's wrong?"

Jace couldn't look at Simon he felt so terrible. Simon stepped closer to Jace and cupped his face making Jace automatically lean into the touch. Jace looked into Simon's eyes which was a mistake because they were full of love and concern, Jace couldn't bear to see tears fall out of them. Jace opened and closed his mouth a few times before managing to speak. "When this is all over would you like to go on holiday? We could both use a break". Jace said and internally winced. He should have told Simon the truth but he just couldn't. 

Simon smiled beautifully at Jace and he decided right then that he would do anything to make sure Simon didn't find out he cheated he couldn't loose him. Simon leaned his head against Jace's chest and wrapped his arms around him and Jace hugged him back, "I would love that you're right we definitely need a break. Was there something else you wanted to tell me? You seemed upset". 

"No I was just worried you wouldn't want to go". 

"You never have to worry about that, I love spending time with you". 

Jace's phone buzzed and he released Simon so that he could read it, but made sure Simon couldn't see it and he was very glad he had. Because it was from Meliorn. 

"Did you tell Simon?"

"I did tell him and now he never wants to see me again!" 

"Wonderful I'm happy to here that". 

Jace sighed in relief that Meliorn believed him, "Where's Magnus and his friends I didn't see them in the living room". Simon explained what happened and had to stop Jace from punching Magnus. 

Meanwhile Alec was sitting on the sofa hugging himself wishing that Magnus was hugging him. The doorbell rang and Alec carefully checked the peephole it was Raphael, Alec reluctantly opened the door afraid that Raphael would hit him again. 

"Alec I... I overheard the police talking about what happened with Jonathan. I'm so sorry I punched you I was just trying to protect Magnus". 

Alec sighed he understood that he would have done the same for those he cared for, "It's okay I understand". 

"Thank you Alec". 

"Raphael what are you doing here?" Magnus asked in surprise making Alec jump he hadn't heard Magnus approach them. 

"I was just apologizing to Alec". 

"Oh can we go for a walk Raphael? I really don't want to be here right now". Magnus said glaring at Alec. 

"Uh... okay", Raphael said looking between Alec and Magnus worriedly. 

Alec felt his heart sink as Magnus left with Raphael without even looking at him or saying goodbye. Alec went back inside feeling dejected and pulled his phone out of his pocket and his heart sunk even further when he saw it was his mother calling him. Though he loved her they didn't have a great relationship. She and his father were both trying but were finding it hard to accept that he was gay. Jonathan had helped him come out to them and was there for him when it didn't go well. Alec now realized Jonathan hadn't truly cared for him then at all and the thought hurt. 

Alec reluctantly answered the phone, "Hi mom what-"

"Alec, how could you lie about Jonathan is this just to gain attention from us?" 

"What? I didn't lie- how do you know about Jonathan?"

"Jonathan called us thinking you had told us. He was so distraught I can't believe you could hurt him like that". 

"Mom he was the one who hurt me!" 

Maryse scoffed, "Then how come he told me you were lying about it and about being gay just to hurt us". 

Tears were spilling out of Alec's eyes at these words, "I wasn't lying at all, he's lying-"

"Don't even try that, Jonathan said you weren't even in a relationship and he felt terrible for helping you tell us. Your father and I are coming to Southport we need to have a few words", Maryse said coldly and hung up. Alec bolted to his room and curled up on his bed, the pillow sheets soon became damp with Alec's tears. Alec couldn't believe this was happening, he just wanted to be happy and wrapped in Magnus' arms.
