Lost Souls (Book 2)

Part 9

"Rafe, can we talk?" Magnus and Rafe currently in a car on their way to send him to school. He tilted his head to his side facing his father in curiosity. "Yeah?" He answered faintly. "I know you found Alec." Rafe widen his eyes at the words and he thought he has few more times to hide from his dad but clearly he was wrong. "Uhm." He couldn't form any words so he removed his gaze towards the window not able to look his father in his eyes.

"Rafe look at me." Magnus gripped his chin to make Rafe look at him again, he was surprised that his eyes were covered in tears begging to fall. "Oh baby." He pulled him towards his chest and Rafe sobbed immediately. "I'm sorry baby, I know you missed him, I missed him too." He said after awhile Rafe in his hug. "Are you going to bring him home to us again." He asked, looking upward to met his father's eyes. Magnus sighed before he released his grip on Rafe's body. He kept looking at him waiting for an answer, an answer he was begging to hear ever since he know Alec is alive.

"I don't know Rafe, we have to make sure he is the real Alec or not. Probably he is some guy who look exactly like him. Don't get your hopes up so much okay. If it were meant to be, then it will be." Rafe looked down and went back to his seat looking front at their driver. He noticed Henry was looking at them from the mirror. He nodded knowing he might not get what he wants but he already had plans in his head. He always get what he wants, no matter what it takes, either with his father help or not.

Alec slowly flutter his eyes open and the first thing that hits him was pain. Pain all over his body and he can barely move his muscles. He saw light coming from his window with the curtain flipping in and out due to the wind. He felt dizzy and he wanted to go back to sleep but somehow he wanted to wake up. He felt the bed dipped next to him and a hand caress his hair.

"Morning Alexander."

"Alec, look at me, its me. Hey, you're safe, I'm not gonna hurt you."

"Alec."

"I love you Alexander. Always and forever."

"Alec."

"Alexander." Alec shot his eyes open wide and he tilt his head to the side and saw Mateo concern eyes looking down at him. He was panting and breathless again but soon as he look around, he was back in his room, his current room. Every time he dreamt he wonder where he was and sometimes he forgot where exactly he is. Mateo cupped his cheek and made him face his eyes. "Hey, hey breathe. Its okay. I'm here." He said soothingly before pulling Alec on his chest lying down next to each other.

"What happened?" Alec asked after he gained back his normal breaths. "You had a seizure yesterday. I should have seen it coming, you were in so much pain it hurts me to see you like it." Mateo explains but Alec felt insecure knowing Mateo seen him in such situation, he felt vulnerable. Mateo noticed the awkwardness in between them when he planted a kiss on his forehead. "Hey its okay, I have seen it almost everyday in my shift. You have nothing to be embarrassed about. I was just so worried about you but luckily it only happened once. Are you okay? Are you still in pain?"

He asked worriedly knowing the outcome of patient after seizure but he can't do anything, not unless they are at his workplace. Alec looked up meeting his eyes before he shook his head lightly. "Just sore. I can't feel my muscles and my headache is still there." He said and Mateo look concerned at his complains. "Lets go to the hospital then. Get you treated." He raised his body but Alec pushed him back on the bed, "No, I want to stay here with you." He said and wrapped his arm around Mateo's torso. He smiled kissing Alec's forehead with his arm wrapped around Alec's upper body.

They stayed for a while and Mateo noticed Alec had fallen asleep right after so he slowly removed himself out from the bed. Alec continued sleeping till the afternoon when he woke up and tried to get off the bed, he needed to use the bathroom and when he woke up, no one was around in his room, he was alone.
