Time for Close ones

it was getting late so I eventually stayed at, Magnus's house for a night.

"Good morning" Magnus came into my room in the morning as I was heading out

"Morning Magnus"

"How was your sleep last night? I hope my hospitality made you feel good?"

"I had a good sleep, (lie) don't worry. Your house is amazing. And also your hospitality. I looked up from tying my shoes

"Well, I admire the stuff, you're not half bad. The design is amazing." I said as he laughed waving his hand around

"I'm the high warlock of Brooklyn my dear I have tastes that are much classy and luxurious" he stated as I smiled

"Well, then thanks for letting me stay but I need to head out to the institute today."

"Won't stay for breakfast?"

"Oh, I wish I could. Next time maybe when I come over"

"You're always welcomed here, come by anytime," he said.

I went to the institute and as I entered Isabelle rushed towards me and engulfed me in a tight hug.

"I missed you, where have you been?" she said as she hugged me

"Ah, Izzy I'm alright it's okay"

"You know how much-worried everyone was when they got to know that you haven't returned to the institute last night, especially Alec."

"Alec?"

"Yeah," she said breaking the hug "he was the one who you said to pass down your message but in the evening when he stopped by your room to check. He saw it empty and got worried."

"I-I see, well don't worry I'm back" I gave her a reassuring smile

"Veronica, glad you're back. We got so worried for you." Jace rushed side hugging me as I smiled

"It's okay Jace, I'm alright sorry to get you guys so worried."

"It's okay you're back and that's what matters" wrapping his hand on my shoulder he said as I smiled

"Well I need to get back and change so, I'll see you guys for breakfast okay" They nod as I leave

"How do you think she'll react? My guess is she's not like it" Jace says seeing me walk away

"She won't instead he'll be the one who'll lash out at her, I know my brother" Isabelle stated

"We'll see," Jace says as they both get to work laughing and enjoying

I opened the door to my room and kept Mom's book on the table sighing "Welcome back" I heard the voice and shivers went down my spine

"For god's sake you should get a bell around your neck for when you sneak up on people," I  turned scared

"It's not funny Veronica," Alec says crossing his arms over his chest

"I'm serious too, you do scare me to death at times." I kept away the book and closed the drawer as he made his way over to me and pulled me around.

"You think going out all on your own and not even informing anyone is funny, we all were worried for you. Fuck, I was worried for you. You should've been back when you said but you were not here when I came back. you think it's funny" he closed the distance between us moving forward.

"You know how worried I got when I didn't see you here and on top of it you weren't even picking up your phone, do you even know how much I was being questioned by everyone here? you just left" he says placing his hand on my shoulder as our eyes met
