2. The Second Try

Previously:

"I think you should leave," Clary sighed before closing the door. I stood there for a few minutes before making a portal and returned to my loft.

3rd person POV

Magnus didn't notice the figure in the third floor of the Institute watching him intensely. The one who truly loved him, Alexander Gideon Lightwood.

Now:

Magnus's POV

Second day, second try. I realized I made a mistake of leaving way too early yesterday but otherwise I could've froze to death if I wasn't careful. I sighed as I knocked on the door.

"What the hell, Magnus?! I told you don't belong here!" Jace snarled and tried to close the door, but I put my foot in the threshold.

"I'm not leaving until you let me in," I snapped.

"Go home, Magnus. He doesn't want to see you, it will break him even more ," Jace sighed.

I shook my head.

"Let me in, Jace please..." I whispered.

"No," Jace hissed and forced me to remove my foot.

I sighed and knocked again, not caring if no one answered. I could hear movement but they didn't open the door. I knew it was my Alexander.

"Alexander... if you're there, I love you," I whispered, allowing tears to fall.

Silence.

"I just want you to know that I'm sorry... for everything. Please open the door," I whispered again. Silence. I sighed, finally giving up and left the Institute.

Alec's POV

"Alexander... if you're there, I love you"

"I just want you to know that I'm sorry... for everything. Please open the door"

If only Magnus knew, I thought as I walked to my bedroom.
