As the branches begin to break
Alex, leave me alone!
Its been a week since I met Sasha. Alex has been relatively normal, he's acted a tad distant recently, but I didn't question it. I wrote down everything he did everytime he left the room and at the end of the day, Jack would meet me and I'd tell him. I'll admit, I was still deeply in love with Alex. First loves, eh? I knew it'd be hard when I had to leave him, but I was used to feeling torn. I'll survive.
"Lauren?" Alex said softly. "You're crying" My hand shot up to my face. He was right. I was crying. But why?
"Oh. That's strange" I said and made a face.
"You do make me chuckle sometimes" He said and kissed me. I kissed back. It wasn't heated or anything, it was soft and passionate. I'd miss this.
"I love you" I whispered.
"I love you too" He replied. We snuggle into each other and sat watching The Jungle Book. I couldn't concentrate on it though, for obvious reasons. I think Alex noticed because a few times he asked me if I was okay. Of course, I lied and said I was.
The film finally finished and it was time for me to go home. I kissed Alex goodbye and walked down to mine and Jacks meeting place and told him how Alex acted. He seemed concerned about me, but he was distant. Like he was thinking about someone else. Jack and I talked a bit longer and then I went home to cook the dinner. Just my normal routine.

So I was in my last 3 days of the 2 weeks of being with Alex, and I was... Well there were no words for it. I'll miss him to say the least but I wont let that get to me. Jack will help me through it. I know he will.
I turned up at Alex's house and he opened the door and kissed be before I even knocked. He then looked up and glared at something behind me, but before I could turn my head, he kissed me again and pulled me inside.
"Woah Alex, what was that for?" I asked.
"I'm just happy to see you" He said. But his voice sounded off. I didn't dare question it, I just went along with it.
"Well, I'm happy to see you too" I said, kissing him again. He smiled at me and we went into the kitchen.
"Do you want anything to eat?" He asked. I shook my head. I felt uneasy from the way he kissed me at the door. There was something going on. He made himself a piece of toast and ate it.
"So what are we doing today?" I asked enthusiastically. He led me to his room then answered my question.
"I was thinking this" He said, kissing my weak spot on my neck, making me fall against him.
"Alex" I sighed. He kissed me and well, you should know what happened after that. I know what your thinking 'Oh, you're not going to be with him much longer, why fuck him?' That doesn't mean I don't love him. Like I said, he's my first love.
"Do you have to go? Why can't you stay longer?" He whined when I had to leave.
"Sorry, Dad wants me home early" I said. He kissed me and I left, I walked to mine and Jack's usual place and he hugged me when he saw me.
"So what happened?" He asked.
"We slept together" I mumbled. I looked at his face to see his reaction, and I couldn't read it.
"Why Lauren?" He said sympathetically.
"I.. I don't know Jack" I said and for some reason, I broke down sobbing. Jack pulled me into a hug and rubbed my back.
"Shh, it'll be alright" He said. I cried for a good 10 minutes before looking up at Jack and smiling. I knew I could count on this boy, he was my lifeline.
"Thank you Jack" I said. he smiled.
"Now you go home and get some rest. I'll see you tomorrow." He said. I hugged him one more time and made my way home.
I walked through the door and I was about to start dinner when I saw my mum and dad sat at the table with a girl I'd never seen before.
"Hey, what's going on?" I asked pleasantly.
"You fucking slut!" Dad shouted, standing up.
"What did I do?" I asked, fear taking over my body.
"You go home now, Lisa" He said. Lisa. Isn't that Alex's ex girlfriend? She left and Dad turned back to me.
"You fucking slut shaming the family like that! How could you?" he shouted.
"What did I do?" I asked.
"You fucking slept with that Alex kid out of wedlock. How could you would you, you little fucking whore?" He screamed, kicking my legs out from under me.
"I'm sorry!" I screamed.
"No, after today, I never want to see you again." He said and continued to kick and punch me.
"Ahhh! There's a spider on me" Mum shouted, Dad rushed over to help her and I ran out of the door and found my feet carrying me to Alex's house. I heard Dad screaming behind me but there was no way I was slowing down. I got to Alex's house and threw myself at the door and banged my fists against it screaming and crying.
"ALEX! ALEX HELP ME PLEASE! ALEX PLEASE HELP!" I screamed and cried as I banged on the door. But it didn't work, Dad got to me, he pulled me away from the door and continued to kick and punch me.
"Your little boyfriend wont save you now!" He shouted as he beat me.
"Please, please stop" I begged as I led there.
"Its your own fucking fault you slut" He sneered. I cried and prayed for Alex to come out and save the day, but he never showed. Sasha and Jack were right, I should have ended it with him weeks ago.
After what felt like forever, Dad stopped and walked off laughing while I led there on the floor crying in pain.
"Lauren?" I heard someone shout from down the street, I recognised the voice.
"Don't worry, I'll get you to the hospital" He said, picking me up. It was Jack. Wow, he said he'd always be there to help me, and he was right. He ran all the way to the other side of town to the hospital with me in his arms. He really was my lifeline. I went unconscious by the time he was at reception.
***
I woke up to an annoyingly loud beeping noise and bright lights all around the room. I groaned and tried to stretch, then whimpered in pain, why was I in pain? Where was I? Suddenly, memories from last night popped up, the pain, Alex not helping, Jack saving me.
"Lauren?" I heard Jack say and 2 bodies came to stand at either side of my bed. I looked at Jack and then looked at the other person. Alex.
"Why didn't you open the door, Alex?" I asked, coldly. He completely ignored my question.
"Lauren, I'm sorry Lisa told your parents, I, she never intended for that to happen." Alex said. I noticed 3 things wrong with that sentence. Alex said that he hadn't spoken to Lisa since the break up, how would Lisa even know who I was or where I lived and Alex almost said I instead of she. Then it all clicked into place. The movement in the back garden, Alex glaring at someone over my shoulder, Sasha saying that Alex made sure she caught Lisa and Alex in bed. Alex WAS a fucking monster! And he was cheating.
"Get the fuck out before Jack and I beat the shit into you for being a lying cheat!" I said. He looked at me, then at Jack and then ran out. See? No fight for me. He knew I knew. He never fucking loved me.
"You know about him and Lisa?" Jack raised his eyebrow at me.
"I just worked it out. Fuck him. He's a fucking dick." I said. Jack laughed.
"I agree." He replied. A nurse came in to check on me and made Jack leaved the room. I just led and thought over my life. It was always fucked up.
"Lauren?" Alex said softly. "You're crying" My hand shot up to my face. He was right. I was crying. But why?
"Oh. That's strange" I said and made a face.
"You do make me chuckle sometimes" He said and kissed me. I kissed back. It wasn't heated or anything, it was soft and passionate. I'd miss this.
