-Jack POV-

I was speechless. I felt sorry for Alex, but at the same too I was impressed with myself for my gaydar being spot on as always. We sat back down on the couch in the living room, Alex finally admitting everything, how from a young age he knew he liked guys, how he had to hide it from his father and pretend he was someone else.

''Well, you know you can be open with me about it.'' I said, nudging him softly.He looked up at me, tears in his eyes but still smiling. I got up and put Call of Duty into the Xbox and passed him a controller.

Okay, one person. One person I could actually be myself around. I had completely forgotten that it was Jack the superstar, he was just Jack. Jack the big headed prick who knew my deepest, darkest secret. Damn alcohol. Everything would be fine if it weren't for the 30 odd bottles of beer I had consumed in the past few hours.

I unlocked my phone to see the time, nearly 3 am and I had to be at work in 5 hours. 'Well, shit' I sighed. I looked over at Jack who was passed out on the floor and sucking his thumb, the bottom of his top was pulled upwards revealing his stomach, so I leaned over him and pulled it down.

I looked at the bottles in his side of the couch and realised he was out like a light, so I gently picked him up - one arm scooped under the backs of his legs and the other around his shoulders. For a lanky guy he wasn't that heavy, I found his room as soon as I reached the top of the first set of stairs, I put him into his bed and tucked him in. I walked back downstairs and had a quick tidy up, putting the bottles on the breakfast bar and putting the games back in their correct boxes. I went into the kitchen and grabbed a glass of cold water and put it on the side whilst I rummaged the cupboards, food, cutlery, plates, ahhhh, here we go, medicine. I popped 2 painkillers from the packet and placed the box back. I took the water back upstairs to where I had left Jack and he was now softly snoring, I placed the glass and pills next to him for when he woke up later. I crouched down next to him and tucked a strand behind his ear. ''Good night, twat.'' I laughed to myself quietly as I stood up to leave.

I jogged down the stairs and pulled my phone from my pocket, dialling a cab service. there was one waiting just around the corner, so I scribbled on a piece of paper and placed it by the TV. I picked up the red Gibson and opened the front door, looking back on a night that I wasn't going to forget in a long while to come.

It was dark. My head was spinning, and I did't remember the floor being this comfy. I realised the reason for it being so dark was the fact I still had my eyes closed...obviously. I chose to open them though as I wanted to know where the hell I was....was I dead and floating on a cloud, was I laying on a pile of kitten, WHAT? I slowly opened them, letting a little bit more light in every minute or so. Oh, I was in bed. A sudden shooting pain pulsed through my head ''fuck'' I squeamed. I threw back the corner of my duvet and hung my legs over the side of the bed, I yawned and stretched as I saw a glass of water and two red and white capsules on my bedside table I put them both in my mouth immediately and downed the cool liquid. I laid back down and shut my eyes, replaying last night over again in my head. I remember drinking way too much, I remember playing Xbox, I remember playing The Middle on my acoustic. ALEX, I remember kissing Alex and him locking himself in my bathroom.

I sprung out of my bed and ran down the stairs shouting his name. I came to a halt as soon as I entered the lounge, everything was tidy. What in the world was going on? All the beer bottles from last night had been placed on the side, the cushions were back on the sofa and the games and controllers back in their normal place. This was weird.

I went over to the TV to turn it on when I saw a piece of paper folded in half. I picked it up and sat back on the couch opening it slowly and reading the words.

I hope you don't mind but I cleaned up.
I hope you're not feeling too rough this morning.
I had fun, we should do it again sometime, it's great to finally have someone to trust.
Here's my number - 1631 8388 638

I looked up from the sheet of paper, then I remembered.

Alex came out as gay.
