He reached the coffee shop 10 minutes later and walked in and seeing that Cat had already ordered for them both. Knowing he would have his Cappuccino ready for him and her skinny latte.
"Hello Cat" Magnus called out when he saw her in the corner and she stood up to hug him.
"What's going on?" Cat asked in her way of greeting, seeing the frown on his face and knowing there was something wrong immediately
"Broke up with Camille, Dad's told me I'm not his son, so I've also lost my job and I have a week to find a new apartment. Other than that... I'm perfect" Magnus chuckled bitterly, not at Cat but at his situation.
"Oh Magnus, I know it's going to be hard but this is for the best. You weren't happy with her. You need to be happy and if that means you lose Asmodeus then so be it. You can always move in with me and Madzie until you find somewhere?" Cat asked, knowing how much Magnus must be struggling.
"I couldn't do that. I don't want to impose, you haven't got much room as it is" Magnus sighed. "I've got a week, I just need to get a job. I've got some savings so I can use that as a deposit, or I can even flat share. I will sort this myself, but I do appreciate the offer, my dear" Magnus smiled, resting his hand on Cat's before picking up his coffee. Moaning in delight at the taste, knowing that Cat would have sugared it perfectly.
"You know where I am if you need anything. I mean it" Cat said sternly, knowing how stubborn he was. Magnus smiled and nodded, loving his best friend all the more at that moment.
"Thank you. Now, how's Madzie?" Magnus asked, wanting to ask about his goddaughter that he absolutely adored.
The two talked for a couple of hours, chewing over the issues in their lives and laughed about the good stuff. It wasn't until Cat noticed the time that she jumped up and grabbed her stuff.
"Shit. I've got to get Madzie for daycare" Cat said, kissing Magnus's cheek before rushing out the stop. Calling out that she would phone him. Magnus chuckled seeing her rushing about, knowing she still had 30 minutes but Cat liked to be outside ready and waiting for her, not wanting to risk being late.
Now he sat there and finished his coffee. Pulling out his phone and bringing up a new notes tab to start making a list of what he needed to do. He always loved a list, knowing it was a good way of focusing his mind onto the important stuff so he didn't get sidetracked by irrelevant issues.
Get a Job
Find a new apartment
Sort movers
Change all billing info
Change documents and addresses
Sort out life.
Looking over his list, he knew he would add more but for now, he wanted to get focused on the first point. Searching on his phone for local jobs and finding a few, he favourited the pages so he could find them easily when he got home and set up interviews. Standing up, he was looking at his phone more when he bumped into someone, hearing them crying out Magnus looked up and caught the eyes of a brunette in front of him.
"Shit... I'm sorry, I'm so sorry" Magnus stammered, feeling awful as he looked at the man in fronts wet shirt.
"Oh for fuck sake. This day just gets better and better.." The young man growled. Before looking up and seeing the apologetic look from Magnus. "It's fine... we both weren't looking. Don't worry"
"Let me at least buy you a drink... to say sorry" Magnus sighed, passing him a bunch of tissues.
"No honestly it's fine, let me buy you one since yours spilt everywhere" The man offered. "I'm Simon... Simon Lewis by the way"
"Magnus Bane" Magnus smiled. "Please... let me buy you a drink, I feel awful. I seem to of messed up most of today, let me do this. Please?"
Simon smiled and nodded as they walked to the coffee counters, Magnus ordering another cappuccino and a mocha for Simon before they headed off to get their sugars and creams.
"So what's been going on with your day then?" Magnus asked, smirking at him as they stood side by side. He liked Simon, he knew he was kind and down to earth.
"I'm in a band, Brooklyn Revival and we have this big gig next week, it's in front of a scout too so it could mean big things for us but our lead singer has just decided to up and move to Australia with his girlfriend so he's not singing for us now. It's not a huge problem because I can sing, but it's just making it more difficult to change arrangements around" Simon sighed. "Sorry, I don't know why I'm telling you all this"
"It's fine. I've had a pretty shitty day too. I was cast out of the family by my father, broke up with my girlfriend, lost my job and my apartment too because they were my dads. So I'm really hitting rock bottom" Magnus chuckled lightly.
"Jeez, I'm sorry to hear that man. That's a tough break. Don't suppose you can sing?" Simon asked jokingly. Magnus looking at him and frowning.
"Actually... I can" Magnus laughed.
"Wait really? You want to come and try out? Money is pretty good and you can always stay with me. The old singer was my flatmate but he's gone now, so I've got a spare room. If that helps?" Simon offered, excitement clear in his voice.
"Yeah sure, that all sounds perfect. I can come tomorrow?" Magnus asked.
"Definitely, that's fine by me" Simon beamed, pulling out his phone. Magnus guessed he was texting the others to meet up as they left the shop together. "This is perfect. Fancy meeting you like this"
"I know... it's like destiny" Magnus grinned. "If you give me your number, I'll text you tomorrow if you want?"
"Sounds good to me. We have practice tomorrow at 12 if you want to drop by? I can send you the address" Simon said cheerfully as he typed his number into Magnus's phone.
"Sounds like a plan. See you" Magnus said before he turned and walked home
