Don't Let This Memory Fade Away.
Chapter 11
The car flipped over and crashed down a hill, Alex’s eyes wider than anything, and Jack’s heart was racing.
They weren’t going to make it.
Everything went black, and Alex couldn’t move. “Jack…” He screamed out with a scratchy voice. No answer. He leaned over to grab onto the other boy, and he tried to pull him to his side, but he couldn’t. The car had flipped upside down. Alex had a huge gash on his skull, and everything was dark. He couldn’t move. He couldn’t speak. Jack couldn’t hear him. What was going on?
_____________________________________________________________________________
“JACK!” Alex shot up from dreaming. He was sweaty, and shaking. He curled his knees up to his chest, and he buried his head into his lap. It was just a dream. Everything was fine, he was fine… Jack. Alex ran up from his bed and grabbed his phone, dialing his boyfriend’s number. It was 3:38 am. The phone rang about 5 times, before there was an answer. A raspy voice came from the other line.
“hullo…?” Jack seemed to had just woken up. “Jack! Baby are you okay?” Alex was relieved to hear his voice.
“Yeah I’m fine… a-are you okay?” Jack had a confused look on his features.
“I guess… I just had a silly dream. Nothing too bad.” Alex had lied a bit. He did have a dream… but it was one of the most terrifying things he ever witnessed. Loosing Jack, not being able to do anything about it. That scared him the most out of anything, and he couldn’t stop thinking about it. But it was just a dream…
Just a dream.
“Do you need me to come over?” Jack sat up on his bed, and got up to walk over to his dresser, just in case Alex needed him over. “No… I’m fine, really. Come over later? I want you to sleep. I apologize for calling you so early. I just needed to make sure you were alright.” Alex let out a heavy sigh.
“Yeah, sure, ill come over later. You should get back to sleep, Lex, Okay? I love you. Goodnight.”
“Good night. I love you so much.”
Alex hung up the phone, and set it down on the table beside him. He couldn’t stop thinking about the dream he witnessed… Why was it haunting him so much? It’s not like it was real. Alex decided that he didn’t want to sleep, and stood up to traipse down the stairs, and make a cup of tea. He grabbed the water heater, and filled it, waiting for it to boil. Alex walked to his counter, and lifted himself up to sit down on it. He rubbed his tired eyes with his palms, and heard a click from the heater. Grabbing the heater off the stove, he un- wrapped a tea bag, and stuck it into his mug, pouring hot water into it directly after. Alex picked up his cup, and walked over to the couch. He let the tea steep while he turned the telly on, and searched for a decent channel. After all, it was only 4:00 am, and nothing but old black and white cartoons were on. He decided to go over to the movie box, and pick out something… maybe… no…. Oh! Donnie Darko. Alex loved this movie, and took it out of the case, placing in it the DVD slot. While the previews were playing, Alex took his tea back into the kitchen, to add sugar and milk. His tea got a little cold while he just sat there, so he decided to place it in the microwave for a bit.
When the microwave beeped, Alex took his tea out, and winced in pain. The mug was extremely hot, and Alex dropped it onto the counter, only spilling a bit. He cleaned up his space, and put on mittens to carry the hot cup back to the couch, and set it down on the table. Alex sat down, made himself comfortable, and started the movie. He wanted to get his mind off of what happened.
About three quarters of the way through the movie, Alex was passed out on the couch. It was around 5:30 am. Jack was coming over around 11, so Alex had time to take a nap. Tea always made Alex sleepy. He was like a small baby. Drinking tea, or warm milk, always did the job. It was really cute to Jack, because Alex would always fall asleep on his lap, and he would be able to run his fingers through his hair. Jack was at home, awake, sitting on his bed. He didn’t fall asleep after Alex called him. He was too worried about the boy, so much that he couldn’t sleep, in case Alex called him and wanted him to come over. He was tempted to go over anyway, and surprise Alex. But he wanted Alex to sleep, and hopefully calm down about the dream he had. Alex didn’t even tell Jack what the dream was about, and Jack wasn’t so sure he wanted to know, or ask Alex about it.
He was scared, to be honest.

“Alex, wake up baby.” Jack nudged Alex’s side with his forearm. He was still asleep on the couch. Jack had showed up a half hour ago. “Aleeeeeex.” Jack whined. “Alex please wake up. I wanna kiss you.” He nudged the boy once more, and Alex gave in, turning around to face Jack. “Then kiss me you douche bag.” Alex smirked, and held him arms out, making grabby hands. Jack smiled and leant down to press his lips against his boyfriend’s. They continued for about 30 seconds, and pulled away, leaving Jacks forehead to lean against Alex’s.
“I missed you a lot this morning.” Alex admitted.
“I missed you too, babe. We have a lot to talk about today!” Jack sat up with excitement.
“Oh? About what?”
“well, my 17th birthday is coming up soon, and I really want to do something fun with you for it.” Alex was really happy that Jack wanted to do something with him for his birthday.
“Well- what were you thinking?”
“Maybe we could go somewhere? Like out of town. I’m getting a little bored of Towson. We could go on a road trip or something.”
“Seems fun. We could totally do that. I can start saving up gas money, so we can have enough for it.” Alex smiled at Jacks facial features. “Thank you so much! I’m so excited.”
Jack leant over and embraced Alex, kissing his cheek. “I love you.”
“I love you, too.”

“Hey Lex, can I talk to you?” Jack wanted to talk to Alex about the dream he had. He didn’t know if it was exactly a good idea, but he really wanted to know what his dream was about. “Yeah. About what?” Alex turned to face Jack, and let his hand fall onto his knee lightly.
“I… I want to know what your dream was about. It obviously scared you quite a bit. I’m here to comfort you, and you can tell me what happened. Just remember, it was only a dream…” Jack rambled off a bit, and Alex looked down.
“Are you sure you want to know…?” Alex questioned, still not looking up at Jack.
“Well, no. But I think I do…You can tell me, okay?”
Alex looked up at Jack, and grabbed his hands. He was really nervous to tell Jack about his dream. How would he react? It scared Alex just thinking about it. Loosing Jack.
“Okay, Well…”
They weren’t going to make it.
