Its been days since Alec came out from the room, to his luck its summer break and Alec had no class to attend but to Mateo its a nightmare. Alec refused to come out, he refused to speak nor eat and he worries to death for Alec's well being. Every time he went to work he would leave some food for Alec to eat just in case he come out but to his disappointment he didn't eat anything he made for the first day. The second day Mateo had it enough and he open the room with Alec's master key, when he entered, the room is dull and there's no sign of light in. Alec was miserable lying on the bed, his eyelids are puffy, his nose and his eyes are red.

He didn't spoke any words and he kept staring at the windows next to his bed, his eyelids closed on and off so Mateo knows he's Alec not some guy who got possessed by a demon. Yeah he is scared shitless and that is why he never did watch those scary movies Alec wants to watch so much. The third day Alec sat on the bed but still didn't say anything and Mateo did try the best he can to get Alec to tell him what's wrong but every time he did, Alec would look at him and burst into a cry. He stopped asking for the mean time not able to bear his heart to watch Alec in misery.

Mateo was currently beside Alec and this is the fourth time he tried to make Alec eat. "Alec please if you don't want to talk please eat something. I don't know what else to do. Please tell me what to do. Tell me, I'll do anything please." He held the spoon closer to Alec's mouth but he tilt his head to his side dodging the porridge he made. Mateo sighed in desperation and placed the bowl down on the bedside table.

He rubbed his forehead then he leaned forward with his head in his palm. He felt a hand rubs his back and when he turn he saw Alec looking down at him. He sat up straight and faced Alec and he saw the look on Alec's eyes. It was not depressed but fear and scared. He didn't think twice to ask but pulled Alec to his embrace. Alec wrapped his arm around him and hid his face on Mateo's neck. Seconds later Mateo felt Alec's body shivers and he starts to sob again. "Alexander please tell me what is going on? Please."

Alec pulls away and kept his gaze to his hands. Mateo grabs his hand and tangled it with his. "I'm sorry." Alec whispered but Mateo did hear him. He kept quiet and waited for Alec to continue. "I did a bad thing and I regretted right after, you have to believe me." Alec starts to panicked and his breaths quickened but Mateo placed his palm on his cheek which he then leans on them. His tears fell like rains on the window. Mateo wiped them away with his thumbs and Alec tried his best to explain.

"The boy from the coffee house, I met him at the museum, he's the boy I sent home that day. Apparently his father also thought I was someone they'd know. He invited me to dinner, I found their piano and I started to play, but then-" Alec held back his words and he looked at Mateo's eyes trying to find some hope for his relationship but Mateo's eyes are cold. "What happened after Alexander?" He spoke and truthfully Alec was afraid if he mentioned what happened he would lose him but in every relationship he needed to be honest, he can't hide stuffs like this from Mateo, it wouldn't be fair for him. "He tried to kiss me, he kiss my neck and his hands touches all over me."

Alec saw the look on Mateo's face changes from worried to sudden anger. Their hands that were tangled with each other suddenly detached and Mateo's raised himself from the bed, he started pacing around the room in front of Alec and he didn't say anything. Alec was scared earlier but now he's terrified on his reaction. "Please you have to believe me, I never wanted this to happen." Alec begs which stops Mateo from his pace.

"Did you stopped him?" Mateo asked but Alec felt heavy in his heart and he couldn't find a word to answer so instead he looked down at his hands fiddling with the sheets. "I can't believe this. You like it when he kissed you didn't you?" He spat and Alec felt disgusted at himself for his words. "You have to believe me, Mateo please. I didn't mean it to happen and I'm sorry, please." Alec was begging him at this point but Mateo still couldn't looked at Alec in his eyes. "He's Magnus Bane." Alec continued which earned Mateo a glared. He stopped pacing and looked at Alec straight in his eyes and his stares shooting daggers in his heart.

"Magnus Bane? THE - Magnus Bane? The guy who involved in Amari's cases?" He asked and Alec nodded. He raised his hand on his forehead pinching it, his headache grew and things just get complicated. "I can't do this right now." He said and starts picking up his things and tried to run but Alec caught his hand before he did so. "Please don't leave me. I need you." Alec begs but Mateo yanked his arm away, "No Alexander, I would never do such things to you and I have been completely and utterly faithful with you. I know you have issues you need to resolved but I'm not the person to help you right now. We should take a break from each other."

Alec felt his heart shatters into pieces, "Please Matty don't do this, I need you please." Alec begs as he followed Mateo to the door but he insisted and before he opened the door he turned around and faced Alec. He was crying his eyes out and he wished Mateo would spared him a little forgiveness but in his eyes all Alec could see is hurt. "I'm so sorry." Alec apologized again for the hundreds times but he didn't say anything, he just turned and walked out the house leaving Alec by his own. Alec dropped to his knees clenching his chest for the pain he felt like being stabbed hundreds times. He needed Mateo more than anything right now and he was afraid to be alone, he felt more alone right now in his empty apartment without the presence of his boyfriend.

Its been two days since Mateo left Alec and he hasn't responded to any call or his text. Alec tried ever since he left but he just turned off his phone and Alec had left countless voicemail begging for forgiveness. He was in his living room staring into the wall with his phone in his hand when he was interrupted by his door bell. He quickly ran towards the door and opened them hoping it was Mateo but to his disappointment it wasn't but rather his mother. "Mum?"

Maryse was quite shocked when he received the phone call from Tom saying Alec has met someone and his behavior had changed. To her surprised when Tom mentioned the person was Magnus Bane. The one guy who she loathed for hurting Alec and she tried for two years to keep Alec away from him but somehow fate got them back together so she decided to pay her son a visit. When she knocked on the door, she was surprised to see Alec wasn't her usual Alec she known since he woke up from his coma. The Alec stood before her was miserable and his eyes are puffy with dark circles and eye bags like he hasn't slept in days.

"Mum." He muttered but Maryse couldn't bear her heart, she was outraged and worried at the same time. "What is going on Alexander? Tom tells me that you haven't come out from the house? Why did you look like this?" She burst at him but instead of an answer, Alec spat back, "You got a nerve telling me that while you're the one who should be telling me mother! What have you been hiding from me? Why am I getting miserable for things I don't know? I kept seeing people who thought they knew me but I don't know them. I keep seeing faces, tortures and I don't understand any of them!" Alec screamed at his mother which she took by surprised. He never told her about the nightmare and she thought it was over by the medication he's taking but she thought wrong.

Alec slammed the door to his mother's face and stomped his way towards the living room. Seconds later his mother opened the door and with Tom's helped, he carried the luggage in and immediately left the house, not wanting to hear the family drama. Alec pouted his way on the couch and Maryse took her seat next to him. "Alec." She tried to touched his arm but Alec yanked it away. "I don't need you to talk to me like I'm a child, I want you to tell me the truth." Maryse sighed placing his handbags on the table in front of them, she looked at Alec but he kept his eyes away from his mother.

"Alec you have to know I have -" Alec cut her off, he stood up facing her, then looked down at her in anger. "I don't need your bullshit right now mother! Tell me the whole truth! I am sick of playing your game, I need answers. I need to know the truth, either you tell me or don't waste your time staying, better go." He raised his voice at her and he felt bad soon after he was done. He never meant to raise his voice at his mother.

"Sit down and we'll talk about it but you need to let me finished, no interruptions." Alec gave in, he slowly sat down and waited for his mother to start. He saw she reaches for her bags and pulled out a brown enveloped. Its folded in half and when she opened them, its quite large in size and she handed the photos to Alec. Alec took it and soon as he looked at it, his heart fell.

"Its you. Two years ago." She said. Alec tilted the photo right to left trying to figure out the angle of the photo. It was photo of him bruised and injured. He saw tears starts to form in his mother's eyes. She composed herself before she told her side of story. "When you were seventeen, daddy wants to marry you off to the Branwell but you declined and left the house. Robert decides to teach you a lesson leaving you in New York and went to Italy to start fresh." She turned her head towards Alec and she saw how disappointed Alec got. "You left me?"

The word felt like poison in Maryse heart, she never wanted to left Alec and if only she was stronger back then, Alec would never ended up like this. "You were saved by Christopher Amari's son, Liam. I never thought you guys would end up meet but Chris and I were friend back in college, he envy Robert and more when I chose your father instead of him. He gets his revenged by kidnapping me and faked my death while his son Liam had his fun torturing you for years."

Alec couldn't remember any of it, not even a memory of him living with Liam and Magnus related to the story, "I don't get how Magnus got into this." He asked, he saw Maryse pressed her lips together trying to compose herself before she continue. "He saved your life from Liam and you guys kinda lived with each other." She said Alec got even more confused, "Why would I lived with him?" Maryse looked at Alec as his eyes begged for more. "You were taking care of his son, Rafe."

Alec felt his breaths quickened as his stomach clenched at the thought. No wonder Rafe got so upset when he saw Alec. They have been together and when he thought Alec was dead, he must be devastated. "Why do you do this to me? Why didn't you tell me the truth?" He eyed his mother in anger and disgust, "Alec I was just trying to protect you, I can't lose you again. We both suffered a lot."

"And you think I don't?! I have lived for the past two years in lies thinking my family was once I thought they were. You guys knows what happened and lied to my face and I was a walking idiot for believing you guys! You lost your son when you left me back in New York and you think by hiding this you would cover your mistakes?" Alec stood and stormed off to his room. He climbed the stairs when he was stopped by his mother's voice at the bottom of the stairs.

"Everything I did, I did it for you Alec, for your own good. I love you and no matter what you are my son and I am your mother." Alec turned around still keeping himself standing in the middle of the staircase looking down at his mother, "You lost me two years ago and you should have let me die mother. I never felt hurt like this before and I trusted you, you broke my trust." He continued his steps towards his room hearing his mother calling him from the bottom of the stairs but he chose to ignore it. 

A/N : I love cliff hangers and I know how dying you guys are but we don't always get what we want. Enjoy the chapters.
