Soulmates? (Alec Lightwood)

Chapter 7

What are we supposed to do??
That's the million dollar question and neither of us knew the answer.
Alec was with Magnus and I wasn't going to do anything about it!
After that talk with Luke I got back to the institute with Alec the first person to come over me and gave a surprising hug was Jace the hug was strong, brotherly and caring, I thought he is going to hate me for running away but he whispered: I understand.
I hugged him back and this was the first time I felt like things could be better for me, I have a brother that I can't wait to get to know and a whole lot of people to be friends with so maybe I'll be ok.
Figuring out what to do about the soulmates mark was important but for now I've got more important things to take care of.

**when they all finished telling Max they are happy she is there and she was ok she went to her not before her brother grabbed her hand and said: you're not going to sneak out the window are you?
I smiled and said: no...
My eyes caught Alec's and I said: I'm done running.
Jace smiled at her and said: good.
Max entered her room and she sat on her bed and just thought about everything that happened she replied in her head what Luke said over and over again, she tried to understand what it means, if she is Alec's soulmate and he is hers, everything that happened sinse they met kind of make sense....
There was a knock on the door that cut her thoughts she said come in and she saw Magnus and she said: Magnus.
She walked over him and gave a worm hug.
At the same time Alec was on his way to her room to check up on her and when he saw Magnus there he decided to not interrupt them and he just listened.
Magnus smiled at her and said: it's good to see you again Maxi.
"Yeah you too"
Magnus: the last time I saw you, you decided to leave which was very noble of you.
" I did it because I thought that it was best for everyone "
Magnus: as you can see everyone is happy to see you included me"
"thank you I'm ok though, whatever ever reason I left I've got a better reason to stay"
Magnus: let me guess.. Jace?
Max saw the look on his face and she said: you thought I meant Alec.
Magnus: that thought crossed my mind... how is your feeling for him?
"I don't really know I mean, when I told you how I felt before I left....
He cut her off and said: before you made yourself leave then made me lie about which was totally cool of me.
I laughed a little and said: yes Magnus it was very cool of you and I am thankful that you played along with it cause those 3 month gave some time to think.
Magnus: well I'm just glad your here you know believe it or not I felt guilty for letting you go and whatever happened inside that head of yours just know that I'm not mad at you!
"Don't feel guilty me leaving that's on me your just helped me, and again thank you for understanding me somehow... "
Magnus: anytime dear, I'll leave you alone now, let you settle in.
Max nodded and he left, Alec was hiding good enough so Magnus didn't see him and after that he knocked on her door**

"What did you forget Magnus?"
I opened the door, nope! Not Magnus, Alec and I said: hey.
Alec: hey.
The look on his face was confusing so I asked: is... everything... ok??
Alec: did you really made Magnus lie to me and Jace??
Ohhh so he heard and I said: can you at least hear me out before you're going all Alec on me again.
Alec: what? What is that even mean?
I laughed a little and said: as long as I understand... so? Permission to talk?
I saw that he couldn't help himself so he laughed and said: yeah talk.
"Ok your honor, the reason I left was because what we talked about with Luke my confusing feelings for you and other than that I saw that it caused problems with you and Magnus and I didn't want to get in the way of your relationship so when you left to get Jace I told Magnus the truth, how I felt and I could see that it hurt him so I decided to leave, he tried to convinced me to stay but I was determined to so I asked him to lie for me, so don't be mad at him for doing something I begged him to do ok?! If you want to be mad at someone you should be mad at me".

**Izzy walked near Max's room and she heard them talking so she eavesdrop.
Alec listened to what she said and he could understand her and why she did it and he said: I understand why but I don't understand why you didn't came to even if it was 3 days after we met as you said before.
"Alec..."
Alec: Max you're gonna have to deal with it ok? This mark is not going anywhere and you and I need to know what we're going to do about it because we both have feelings for each other even if we can't understand what kind of feelings so don't push me away.
"Everytime I do you came back"
Alec: you demm righ I am, wanna know why?
Max nodded and he said: because in those 3 months that you were gone the mark was burning constantly until I got used to the pain and I know you had it too, doesn't it feel better when the pain is gone?!
"It does but I don't want to hurt anyone and I know I said a lot but I mean it ok? All of this seem surreal to me I mean that dream was really realistic and I'm not going to lie it felt good being with you like that".
Alec: I know I told you I feel the same and we'll figure it out just please don't ran away again.
"I won't I told you I'm done running."
Alec: promise??
"Promise"
Then Izzy walked in and said: hey guys what is going on here?!**
