Sorry for the wait and sorry if it sucks too but I really hope it doesn't. Anyway here you go, hope you like it.

My mind was still a mess as I was taking two stairs at a time, trying to get to my destination as fast as possible. The only thought on my mind the one of emptiness. How empty and hollow the Institute felt now. It was never warm or homey but it was still the only home I've know.

And now it just…isn't.

The Institute doesn't feel like home anymore. It was once filled with laughter and the sound of weapons clashing, child crying… It's empty now. Empty but the reminders are still that. And maybe just that was my breaking point.

The books, mangas and spare glasses where you last expect them to be. Under a coffee table in the main room, in the hallway on a chair, by the piano because everyone knows that Max loved to read next to Jace while he was playing.

Max.

It was all Max. Pictures and variety of objects reminding you of him were everywhere in The Institute. It's hard to forget. Hard to pretend you are okay if you are just walking around and finding new things that are his. Were; I reminded myself. They were his. Not anymore. There is no Max anymore.

And maybe that was the reason why I stuffed as much close as I could in the nearest bag and practically ran out of the door as fast as possible like something was haunting me. Well technically it was. Memories are haunting me there. Too many memories. Too much Max. And right now I can't take it. I need a distraction. I need to get away.

The click of the door opening made me look up for the first time since I walked out of The Institute only an hour after we got back to it from Idris. It was too much to stay longer.

Now seeing worry and understanding on the only person I wanted to see right now I knew I made the right decision by coming here.

Magnus said nothing as he took me in, all hunched and with a duffle bag slung over my shoulder, standing on his doorway surely looking as much as a mess as I felt at the moment. There was a pause of a few heartbeats while we just looked at each other, my mind already thinking how he will send me packing now that I was finally able to think. It only took seeing him for my mind to clear a bit. But from the thoughts that brought me it didn't seem as a good thing at the moment. Even after everything that happened in Allicante my mind still kept going to a bad place. I still kept thinking he will finally see how boring I am and send me away. But now as always I swallowed my insecurities away as best I could and just waited. It didn't take long for long arms to be around me and my head pillowed against his shoulder comfortingly.

"That bad ha?" Magnus's voice was low and soft but he continued without letting me to answer. "I understand love. You can stay as long as you want. Hell, you can move in as much as I'm concerned."

I chucked at that, not knowing if he's serious if not but finding it comforting how he knew immediately, how he didn't even ask anything but just knew. That's not something a lot of people can do when it comes to me. Everyone says I'm an open book yet no one bothers to 'read it'. To see into me but somehow, for some unbelievable reason Magnus does. And Magnus sees.

"He's everywhere." I said as he sat us both on the couch as drew soothing circles on my back while my eyes stayed on the floor.

"I know." He said, still softly. "It will get better though. It just takes time. And tea. Would you like some tea?"

I found a small smile stretching my lips for the first time since we came back. Loving that he is trying. Loving how easy he can actually distract me just by being there. Just loving him.

I looked up, seeing nothing but love and concern in those gold and green eyes. "I'd love some."

He smiled and that was enough for now somehow.

Everything still hurt and my head was still a mess but Magnus is trying and he is making it better by just being there.

At that moment I knew I will be fine.

Somehow I will be fine.

Not right now. Magnus is right, I need time after all. But Magnus is here and he will help and it will be fine. Somehow I will be fine.

I will.

Did you like it? Tell me what you think.

Its short but I'm done. This story is officially over and I have no more new things to write. Just finish the old ones now. So yeah I hope you liked this and will tell me what you think. I would really appreciate that.

So please review my lovelies.
