High School // Malec

Chapter 15.

- Camille cheated on me
Magnus repeated those four words with so much pain and exhaustion in his beautiful voice that it made all of the hair on my body stand up.
- How did you find out? I stuttered and felt how my heart broke into millions of small pieces
- That's the worst part, she told me all about it herself. We were having a fight yesterday and when I threatened to leave her, she laughed at me and said that she wouldn't care anyways because she was already seeing someone else behind my back, Magnus answered
- I'm so sorry
- Don't apologise, Alexander. It's not your fault. Besides, I deserved it
- What are you talking about? Of course you don't deserve it. No one deserves to get hurt by the one who's supposed to love and support them, I said and felt angry that Magnus even assumed that he deserved it
- Camille didn't love me
- What?
- We had been together for over a year and not once has she ever told me that she loves me, Magnus said
- You know what? She's an idiot. You're an amazing person and if she can't see that, she can pack a suitcase and go to hell, I answered
- Yeah, maybe you're right
I could tell that Magnus still didn't feel alright so I carefully placed my arms around him and pulled him in for a hug. It was our second hug since we were nine years old and honestly, it felt freaking amazing.
- I know that I have left you once when you needed me, but I won't ever leave you again, I whispered
- Thank you, he whispered back
I hugged him even tighter and carefully dragged one of my hands through his raven hair.
- I'm so happy to have you back into my life, Magnus. I won't lie, I have been pretty miserable without you
- I'm happy to have you jack into my life too, Alexander. Honestly, I never thought that you would forgive me. I've been bullying you for years after all, Magnus answered and I could tell that he was embarrassed about it
- You were a complete moron and I admit that, but I would hate myself for years if I didn't forgive you, I said and broke the hug so I could look directly into his beautiful eyes
- I promise that I'll be better towards you, Alexander. I'll start treating you like you deserve, Magnus answered
I smiled as a response and for the first time in what felt like an eternity, I actually felt happy. I didn't feel as deviated as I felt this morning when I woke up and it wasn't like my body was giving up on me anymore. It was like a horrible weight on my shoulders had disappeared and I was beyond happy to have my best friend back into my life again after so long time.
- I should go before Izzy and Jace returns back from school, Magnus said after a while and stood up from the couch were we sat
- Don't worry about them, Magnus. They don't hate you, I answered
- I know that Izzy doesn't hate me, but I'm not sure when it comes to Jace. He's really  good at giving me the death glare when we pass each other in the corridors
- He's just overprotective, I said
- That's a good thing, Alexander. You're lucky to have siblings that cares about you, Magnus answered
He started walking towards the entrance hall and before I knew it, I stood up from the couch and ran towards his direction.
- Can I ask you a question before you leave? I said and looked at him with a worried facial expression
- Of course, he answered
- When we met each other at the support meeting, you mentioned something about an abusive stepfather. Is it true?
- Yeah, Magnus stuttered and I could see that he was trying so hard not to start crying again
- Have you told anyone about it?
- It's not like I have anyone to tell, Alexander. The only family I have left still lives in Indonesia and it's not like they care enough about me to ask if I'm okay, Magnus answered
- Does it happen often? I mean, that he abuses you? I asked, scared to actually hear what he answers
- It depends if he's drunk or not, Magnus said and faced the floor
- You're always welcome here, okay? If he hurts you, don't hesitate to come here. It doesn't matter what time it is, I said carefully and put one of my hands on his shoulder
- Thank you
We hugged one last time and thereafter, Magnus left, claiming that he had to go back home. I walked up the stairs and continued into my room where I laid down on my bed. My mind was a war zone at the moment and no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't get the picture of Magnus crying out of my head. How could Camille do this to him? What did Magnus do to deserve all this pain? Fine, I know that he has been bullying a lot of people, but that doesn't mean that he deserves to get his heart broken by the one he loves more than anything. All of the different thoughts made me exhausted and before I knew it, I was fast asleep, hugging one of my pillows exactly like I had hugged Magnus only a couple of minutes ago.
