Where did we go wrong?

Part 8

"That's my Mags. Thanks, babe. Okay, I'll send a list of what we need." And Camille hanged up.

"Shit!" Magnus cursed. He didn't know what took him over.

"How am I supposed to buy alcohol?" Magnus gulped. He did not want to disappoint Camille, and he naively believed that buying alcohol would get him a chance with Camille.

Soon after, Magnus got a message from Camille. A list of drinks. Magnus's hear race was increasing as he went through the list. He didn't want to be boring in Camille's eyes, and then again, he was not brave enough to break the rules. It seems like Alecs influence on him was much bigger than he thought. Magnus scratched his head. He had no idea what to do.

"Let's get out of the house first," Magnus talked to himself. It's not like he can call Alec and ask for help. Alec will kill him, and after the fight they had because of Camille, this is definitely not the time.

Magnus sneaked out of his room. He heard his mom's and Papa's laughing voices from Papa's office room. He sighed. Why can't he have a beautiful love story like them.

Magnus smiled sadly and turned to get out of the house, but just then, he remembered his papa's remarkable drink collection. Magnus's breath stopped. He could borrow some from Papa's collection. It's not illegal, and Papa won't kill him. Right? It's not like Magnus has any other option. So, Magnus decided to go with that decision. Since he knows Mama and Papa are in the office room, he sneaked into Papa's small bar. He looked at the list he got from Camille and then looked at the collection Papa had. Papa didn't disappoint Magnus. Asmodeus had every drink Magnus wanted. From cheap drinks to extremely expensive drinks. Magnus put the drinks he wanted in a bag and quickly left the bar. He listened to Papa and Mama one more time. They were still talking in the office room. "Sorry, Mama. Sorry, Papa. " Magnus looked down and mumbled. The next minute, he was on his way to Camille's house.

"Just one more shot, Magnus." Camille forced another drink on Magnus. Magnus was already quite drunk, but he could not say no to Camille. Camille was so happy because Magnus not only brought the drinks, they also wanted to but also some drinks they could never afford. May be tonight she could treat Magnus with a make-out session.

"Magnus!" Sera wanted Magnus to help her with one of her documents. But no matter how many times she called him, Magnus didn't reply.

"Sera?" Asmodeus called his wife from his office room as she did not seem to get a reply from Magnus.

"Yes?"

"Where is Magnus?"

"I don't know. He was in his room. Maybe he went to see Alec. " Sera was confused, but this was not the first time Magnus went to Lightwood house without telling her.

"Hm... Call Maryse and ask. This boy could have told us before leaving. He makes all of us worried." Asmodeus came out of the office.

"Yeah, that is a good idea. I'll call. " Sera quickly dialled Maryse's number.

"Hello, Sera!" Maryse sound came from the other side of the phone.

"Maryse, is Magnus at your place?"

"Magnus? No, I don't think so. Wait, I'll ask from Alec. " Sera waited impatiently. After 2-3 minutes, Maryse called back.

"Sera, Magnus is not here. What is going on?"

"Oh god. I don't know. He was in his room this evening. But he is not at home anymore and his phone is not working either. What should I do, Maryse?"

"Sera, don't panic. Wait, me and Robert will come to your place. Calm down. Okay?"

"Okay," Sera was just a few seconds away from breaking down, but Maryse's words calmed her down a bit.

Maryse hanged up so she could go to Bane house quickly.

"What is going on?" Maryse's second oldest, Jace asked. Maryse didn't know Alec, Jace, and Izzy were listening to her and sera's conversation.

"Nothing," Maryse lied.

"Mom!" Alec's voice was stern.

"Okay, okay, Magnus is not at home, and Sera can't reach out to him. His phone is not working. So, we are going there to check. Im coming with you. "

"No, Alec, I will Jem so he can come over to look after you guys, we will be back quickly. Look after your brothers and sister for me, Alec.

"We don't need a babysitter. Alec is Magnus's best friend. He can help you, and he knows Magnus more than any of you." Izzy argued. Maryse sighed. Izzy was right.

"Okay. I am still going to call Jem so he can come over. I am not leaving all of you without an adult in the house. I'll move Max from his room to Izzy's room. Take care of him. We will be back quickly." "Okay mom" Jace and Izzy answered quickly. Maryse knew those two were up to no good. But it's not like she had a way. Maryse sighed before leaving to find Robert.

Soon after, Robert, Maryse, and Alec were at Bane house.

"Where is this boy?"

"We'll find him Asmodeus." Robert answered.

Alec's mind was somewhere else. Alec remembered how Magnus was telling him about a party at Camille's place. It's not like he could tell it to parents. Alec looked at her parents, and all of them were busy worrying about Magnus. Alec saw the opportunity and quickly went out of the Bane house. He knew his way to Camille's house. It took him good 20 minutes to reach Camilles' place. He felt his phone went off a few times, but he did not want to answer the phone as it was probably from his mom or dad.

From far away, he could hear the loud music and people's voices.

"Please be here, Magnus," Alec prayed. Alec went in front of the Camille house. His black pyjama kit was going to the attention of other people. As all other were wearing colourful and glittery cloths but he didn't look at any of them. Only one thing was going on his mind, and that is Magnus. Alecs eyes were scanning around the house. People were dancing and drinking like there is no tomorrow. Alec scrunched his nose as the smell of sweat hit his nose.

Alec stayed in the middle of the floor and looked around, and it didn't take long to find Magnus. Magnus was sleeping on Camille's shoulder. More like Magnus has passed out on Camille's shoulder. Alec's blood boiled.

"This bitch" Alec cursed.

"Oh... Look who is in here. Magnus's handsome bodyguard Alec Lightwood" Camille announced Alec's presence to everyone around her. Everyone turned to Alec's side at once. Even Magnus weakly opened his eyes when he heard Alec's name.

"Magnus is going home with me now. Let him go" Alec's voice was so deep. Camille tried her best to hide but Alec's angry voice made her flinch.

"I don't think he wants to go. Look at him. All clingy" Camille looked at Alec and tried to give Alec her best charming smile. Which always worked.

"Magnus" Alec kneeled in front of half passed out Magnus. His's voice became so tender when he called Magnus. Everyone around them looked at Alec surprised.

"Hm..." Magnus answered.

"Let's go home. Come here" Alec softly pulled Magnus from his arm. Magnus quickly separated from Camille and grabbed Alec's hand.

"Take me home Alexander" Magnus said before closing his eyes. Alec quickly grabbed Magnus tightly from his waist. It's not like he could carry Magnus from here. It'll be embarrassing for Magnus.

So, Alec decided to go few meters away from Camille's house and then carry Magnus. But before leaving the house, he had one more thing to say to Camille. Alec looked right into Camille's eyes.

"Stay away from him, you bitch.
