"I just want to leave!" Alec raised his voice which barely happened and it was usually only when he felt really uncomfortable in a situation. He just wanted to get out of all this mess and go to a place this mess couldn't reach him. "Hei, Alexander...we will go, okay?" Magnus saw how desperated Alec was and he promised he would protect Alec even from moments like these. He saw that this was all too much for Alec at once and he knew all Alec wanted was to escape so Magnus helped him. He knew at some point Alec had to face all the mess that was just caused in a few minutes but not tonight and he wanted Alec to know there was a way out. "We will go to my place and we will figure this all out." Magnus added with a weak smile while the others in the room stayed quiet. There were so many things Robert wanted to tell his son but in that moment he didn't feel allowed to speak so he was silent and let Alec choose. His son was grown up and no matter how much Robert loved him and wanted to protect him he would always respect Alecs decisions. Robert also knew that Alec was in good company with Magnus or more like Magnus was the best for him right now and Robert hoped it would calm Alec down. Sure he knew lying to his son like that was wrong but Alec begged him that no one would ever get to know what happened to him. He saw how much Alec suffered already so he didn't want to make it any worse but he still felt guilty. "Yes." Alec answered looking with a look at Magnus that pained him. There wasn't this light in Alecs eyes that Magnus loved and was used to but it was replaced by this emptiness. Alec felt so lost because he saw this lie as a betrayal and he got betraied by a person he never expected it. His dad was the one person he found his trust again for the first time and even he didn't want to this betrayal made him doubt the trust he had in a few others. Jackson only listened to them talking and cursing at himself for just showing up like that. He knew it was wrong but he didn't think and the guilt in his head let him go crazy. He just wanted to fix everything his brother ruined and he wanted to apologize for all the terrible things he did. Jackson never wanted to hurt anyone and he just wanted to get his peace that got lost when he found out that the brother he looked up to was a monster. Alec walked out of the room without losing another word and no one stopped him because they knew he needed time. "I'm gonna take care of him." Magnus told Robert who let out a deep sighn and rubbed his forehead. "I may not understand everything yet...but I know you did everything because you love him. He just needs time." Magnus added standing next to Robert for a few seconds and Robert flashed him a sad smile before Magnus went after Alec. Alec felt the fresh air touching his skin and filling his lungs when he stepped outside the house. Since Jackson showed up he felt like he could barely breath and everything was hot but cold at the same time. The more fresh air he took in the easier he could breath but there was this pain in his heart that felt like someone constantly punched him in the face. Alec flinched a little when he felt a hand on his upper arm and he opened his eyes which he closed a few seconds ago without even realizing. "I'm so sorry, Alexander...I don't know how you feel right now but know that you have me...and you can always count on me." Magnus said softly a little unsure about how he should comfort Alec in such a hard moment. "As long as I have you...everything's gonna be alright...right?" Alec asked his voice was a little trembling and you could clearly hear he was upset. "I promise you, everything will be alright sooner than later. You just need time to process this and take your time before you can talk with your dad." Magnus answered trying to smile but seeing how hurt Alec was never let this smile reach his eyes. "Why did he lie to me?" Alec whispered with a broken voice and new tears filled his eyes...//tbc ohh wowow...read my words careful❤🙁❤🙁❤🙁❤🙁❤🙁
