HeartBREAK

Chapter forty-eight

It was Monday and Magnus was on his lunch break- they were already one week in with their breakdance week. And Magnus couldn't help but admit it was definitely one of the most fun experiences he had in a while. And even though he had some concerns regarding Alec's health in the beginning, seeing how he wasn't struggling at all made him so happy about Alec taking the risk for him. It really changed their relationship for the better, he thought. They finally had things in common again, things that they experienced together. And even though it was all out of his comfort zone, he was happy Alec was there with him. "Hey, Magnus Bane?", a voice asks and Magnus whirls around- it was Asmodeus, as expected. Today was the meeting they set up and he was quite curious about what Asmodeus had to say- the guy seemed a little odd, he had to admit. But even though he seemed lost in the dance world, he had the impression of very well knowing what he wanted. "Yes, hi! Should we go inside?", Magnus asked and Asmodeus nodded, opening the door for him. Asmodeus looked about fifty years old, now he noticed the strands of grey hair in all the black one. His Asian facial lines kind of reminded him of himself- he had the same deep brown eyes. Not that that wasn't a common trade among Asians. "Do you know what you would want to order?", Asmodeus asked and Magnus nodded. After the waiter noted their wishes Asmodeus got to the business part. At least that was what Magnus thought.

"Hey sis, how are you?", Alec asked into his phone. "I am doing great, sorry we couldn't call earlier, I was so busy with that Nevada desert shooting...", Isabelle excused herself and Alec couldn't help but laugh- all three of them were really busy so sometimes they would go weeks without talking on the phone or even chatting. "That's totally fine, how was it?", Alec asked. Isabelles job as model was definitely a job you could talk a lot about. Honestly, she has told him about shootings she did, he could have never believed people would put that much money and effort into a photoshoot. And f course she didn't fail to flash him this time again:" We did a really crazy thing, I wore this insane 15 foot long golden dress, then i got on a swing and they lifted it up with a crane in the middle of the desert- it was so crazy, I mean I was on a swing in 15 feet height, dressed like a goddess, in the middle of a desert with a dress that went all down to the sand- I mean the pictures are insane." Alec's jaw dropped:" That sounds incredible! As soon as you have the finished copies you need to send them to me, I am dying to see this!" He could hear Isabelle laugh. For some reason she thought Alec being supportive of her modeling career was somehow funny. "Well, enough of me, how have you been? How is Breakdance?", she asked. "I love it, it's so different and refreshing! Magnus and I really needed a thing we do together. Looing forwards we definitely need to get some sort of ritual, something we can really do together." "Sounds like a good idea to me.", Isabelle replied, "Have you talked to him about the money situation yet?" Alec swallowed hard:" I did, actually. I mean obviously it wasn't the nicest thing to tell a person but he took it as well as expected. He immediately offered his help, he said he had some sort of financial fond but I obviously told him I was going to solve this problem without it. I mean we had a  quite a long talk about it and decided to see what we can do over summer. Somehow, we are going to find a way. I know if he is fighting with me, no battle will be lost.", Alec sighed. Then there was silence. After a solid fifteen seconds Isabelle finally said something:" I mean, its a great thing you told him and he wasn't mad you have kept it from him, I am just a little worried about him offering his help. I know Magnus, him being the loving person he is I know for a fact he will go above and beyond in order to keep you in NYABM. And I mean at first it's a good thing, you can use all the help you can get. But you will have to promise one thing to me, okay?" "Sure.", Alec said with a questioning undertone- he had no idea where this was supposed to go. "Accept his help. You will have years to pay him back, and if your ego comes  in the way you maybe won't make it and on top of that cause a fight and hurt Magnus' feelings. I just really don't want the two of you drift apart over this. I know you have overcome so many obstacles together already, but don't let your pride get in the way of this going smoothly. He means the best. And you won't be any less of a great guy when you accept his help.", Isabelle said. Now Alec was the one not saying a thing. The worst part was that he knew exactly what she was talking about. He knew that often, he was the one ruining it with his ego getting in the way. He just needed to make sure he kept in mind Magnus was worth more than any pride he had. But accepting help was hard for him. It always have and probably always will. And Magnus knew that. It was only Alec himself standing in his own way by being hard on himself. And he promised himself he was going to work on that. For Magnus. "I am going to do my best.", Alec finally said, "I promise."
