Lost Souls (Book 2)

Part 12

Its been days since Alec came out from the room, to his luck its summer break and Alec had no class to attend but to Mateo its a nightmare. Alec refused to come out, he refused to speak nor eat and he worries to death for Alec's well being. Every time he went to work he would leave some food for Alec to eat just in case he come out but to his disappointment he didn't eat anything he made for the first day. The second day Mateo had it enough and he open the room with Alec's master key, when he entered, the room is dull and there's no sign of light in. Alec was miserable lying on the bed, his eyelids are puffy, his nose and his eyes are red.

He didn't spoke any words and he kept staring at the windows next to his bed, his eyelids closed on and off so Mateo knows he's Alec not some guy who got possessed by a demon. Yeah he is scared shitless and that is why he never did watch those scary movies Alec wants to watch so much. The third day Alec sat on the bed but still didn't say anything and Mateo did try the best he can to get Alec to tell him what's wrong but every time he did, Alec would look at him and burst into a cry. He stopped asking for the mean time not able to bear his heart to watch Alec in misery.

Mateo was currently beside Alec and this is the fourth time he tried to make Alec eat. "Alec please if you don't want to talk please eat something. I don't know what else to do. Please tell me what to do. Tell me, I'll do anything please." He held the spoon closer to Alec's mouth but he tilt his head to his side dodging the porridge he made. Mateo sighed in desperation and placed the bowl down on the bedside table.

He rubbed his forehead then he leaned forward with his head in his palm. He felt a hand rubs his back and when he turn he saw Alec looking down at him. He sat up straight and faced Alec and he saw the look on Alec's eyes. It was not depressed but fear and scared. He didn't think twice to ask but pulled Alec to his embrace. Alec wrapped his arm around him and hid his face on Mateo's neck. Seconds later Mateo felt Alec's body shivers and he starts to sob again. "Alexander please tell me what is going on? Please."

Alec pulls away and kept his gaze to his hands. Mateo grabs his hand and tangled it with his. "I'm sorry." Alec whispered but Mateo did hear him. He kept quiet and waited for Alec to continue. "I did a bad thing and I regretted right after, you have to believe me." Alec starts to panicked and his breaths quickened but Mateo placed his palm on his cheek which he then leans on them. His tears fell like rains on the window. Mateo wiped them away with his thumbs and Alec tried his best to explain.

"The boy from the coffee house, I met him at the museum, he's the boy I sent home that day. Apparently his father also thought I was someone they'd know. He invited me to dinner, I found their piano and I started to play, but then-" Alec held back his words and he looked at Mateo's eyes trying to find some hope for his relationship but Mateo's eyes are cold. "What happened after Alexander?" He spoke and truthfully Alec was afraid if he mentioned what happened he would lose him but in every relationship he needed to be honest, he can't hide stuffs like this from Mateo, it wouldn't be fair for him. "He tried to kiss me, he kiss my neck and his hands touches all over me."

Alec saw the look on Mateo's face changes from worried to sudden anger. Their hands that were tangled with each other suddenly detached and Mateo's raised himself from the bed, he started pacing around the room in front of Alec and he didn't say anything. Alec was scared earlier but now he's terrified on his reaction. "Please you have to believe me, I never wanted this to happen." Alec begs which stops Mateo from his pace.

"Did you stopped him?" Mateo asked but Alec felt heavy in his heart and he couldn't find a word to answer so instead he looked down at his hands fiddling with the sheets. "I can't believe this. You like it when he kissed you didn't you?" He spat and Alec felt disgusted at himself for his words. "You have to believe me, Mateo please. I didn't mean it to happen and I'm sorry, please." Alec was begging him at this point but Mateo still couldn't looked at Alec in his eyes. "He's Magnus Bane." Alec continued which earned Mateo a glared. He stopped pacing and looked at Alec straight in his eyes and his stares shooting daggers in his heart.
