Brooklyn Revival (completed)

Chapter 2- Camodeus

Magnus woke up that morning to the sound of his alarm clock buzzing. His phone had fallen off the bed in the middle of night as he tossed and turned, so he had to lean off the bed and pick it up. Grumpily hitting the stop button as he groaned. Rubbing the sleep from his eyes, Magnus took the phone off 'do not disturb' and was greeted by endless texts from both Camille and his father. Most about the same thing, their row last night and an expected engagement, however the newer ones had Camille threatening to end it if he didn't reply.

Groaning, he sent a text to Camille and his father saying that he must have knocked his phone onto airplane mode in the night and he would reply after he showered. Ignoring the buzzing the stemmed from his phone as he walked into his en-suite, just wanting to take the hottest shower he could stand before heading off to face his father.

Running the water, he stepped in and let it fall over him. Letting it cascade down his body and face as if it would wash away the drama and misery that was his life but he knew it wouldn't work. Sighing, he finished cleaning himself before stepping out and drying himself off and going to get dressed. His clothes boring and dull to him. He would have loved to wear colour but he was afraid he would be judged or labelled as 'gay' and cause drama for himself.

Unenthusiastically,  he took out a pair of black baggy jeans and a black t-shirt. Getting dressed and looking at himself in the mirror before sighing and combing his hair. "fuck it" Magnus groaned, just fluffing it up a little before grabbing his phone and texting Camille that he was going to work and he would talk to her when he got there. He knew that she would already be there, complaining about him to his father which would only make them row.

Grabbing his keys, he left his apartment and decided to walk to the car dealership thinking that it would waste more time. It took about 30 minutes to get from his apartment to work and when he walked on he was instantly jumped on by Camille and Asmodeus.

"Why have you not proposed yet?" Asmodeus snapped.

"Father this is really none of your business. I'm just not ready" Magnus sighed, walking over to his office being followed by the pair.

"Magnus, you've told me plenty of times that you love me? Why don't you just marry me? What's the problem?" Camille frowned, folding her arms across her chest.

"Camille. I do love you.. but I'm not ready. Why can't either of you understand that?" Magnus said, trying to keep calm but he was getting frustrated with having this conversation every week.

"Because it doesn't make sense. We've been together for almost 4 years, we love each other, yet you don't want to marry me" Camille sighed, "You're pathetic"

"Just back off! I'm not being pressured into marrying you" Magnus snapped, banging his fists onto the table and making her jump.

"DO NOT TALK TO HER LIKE THAT!" Asmodeus yelled.

"Why not? What is it with you and her? I'm meant to be your son and yet you never consider my feelings. I don't want to marry her! What, are you two sleeping together or something?" Magnus barked at them. Frowning when they looked at one another.

"Don't be ridiculous" Asmodeus scoffed. "I just know that she is amazing, I don't get why you can't see that"

"Thank you Asmodeus" Camille smiled at him then glared at Magnus. "Your own dad wants you to marry me. What is your problem?"

"I DON'T LOVE YOU LIKE THAT NO MORE!" Magnus snapped, then sighed and shook his head at their reactions. "I love you... just... just not like that anymore. It's more.. platonic now. You are great.. but as a friend"

"I don't want you as a friend. Fuck you Magnus Bane! You've led me on all this time, you are scum and don't deserve happiness" Camille snapped before turning to Asmodeus and smiled. "I'll speak to you later"

"See you later, dear. Im sorry for my son" Asmodeus smiled back to her and sighed as she left. Scowling at Magnus again. "You are a disgrace. Get out of my sight and don't come back. You are fired. I'm not a monster, so I will give you a week to find somewhere else to live. Unless you take her back, you are not my son"

"I'm sorry you feel that way father, but I'm not getting back together with her" Magnus sighed, looking down and shaking his head. "I don't understand why you can't just be happy with my life choices"

"Because Magnus, you make poor choices and you will mess up. You'll soon come crawling back to us both, begging for forgiveness" Asmodeus spat out. "Now leave"

Magnus didn't say another word. Only collecting up his stuff before leaving the building and heading back to his apartment. Now wondering what he was going to do, both in his personal and professional life. It was then that his phone rang, groaning in annoyance as he pulled it out expecting to see it was Camille calling to have a go at him, but smiled when he saw his friends Catarina's name.

"Hello Dear. How are you?" Magnus asked her.

"I'm good. Fancy a coffee? Or are you working?" She asked cheerfully.

"Sounds like the perfect idea. I need some cheering up. I'll explain when I see you" Magnus said, both said bye before hanging up. Magnus stopped back at his apartment since it was on the way to the coffee shop to put his box of stuff there. Looking around the apartment and sighing that he wouldn't be living here anymore, his home for the past 6 years since he was 18 years of ages before leaving to head to the shop to meet the only friend that he knew would help him.
