Don't Let This Memory Fade Away.
Chapter 2
A week later, it was Tuesday again. Jack had looked over Alex’s papers before he sent them over to his boss. He wanted to get to know the boy a little, and why not check out his papers a little? Alex’s last name was Gaskarth. Cool name. He was 17, also. Jacks face lit up with that information, to be honest. He had thought Alex would be a lot older than him. He moved from Essex when he was younger, so he was British. Now, that was pretty hot. Jack always had a thing for British guys.

He drove to work, and walked in to see Alex standing there. I guess his boss had called him back the other day. He kind of got butterflies when he got a glimpse of the older boy. Though, Alex didn’t see him.
“Jack!” his boss yelled out from across the back lounge.
“Hey boss.”
“I need you to go over some things with that young man over there. Alex, I’m pretty sure.” Jacks stomach started flipping with excited and nervousness.
“O-oh, W-well alright sir. I’ll get to that now.” Jack replied.
Jack traipsed back to the front. His body was tensing up with each step. He was extremely nervous to talk to Alex, but he didn’t know why. He was about to have an actual full conversation with him for the first time in 3…2….1.
“Hey, nice to see you again, Alex.” Jack said with a wide smile. His stomach doing flips all over the place.
“Hi Jack” Alex said with a small smile.
Jack pulled out the papers and cleared his throat, Alex following him over to a booth.
“So, Alex, you’re 17, Junior in high school…Oh, Same school as me to be in fact.” Jack was screaming inside.
“Oh nice. You’re a senior, am I wrong?”
“Actually, I’m also a Junior. I’m 16.”
“Oh.. you just seemed to be older than me, haha.” God he was so cute.
“No haha… a couple more months till my 17th.”
“Sweet.” Alex responded with a wide smile.
“Um,” Jack cleared his throat “Back to your application. It seems pretty up to par, So I’m going to go talk to my boss and probably get you a job.” He said with a smile.
“Alright cool. Thank you.” Alex smiled cheerily, practically hopping out of his chair to shake Jacks hand. The butterflies were spreading like a wild fire, as Jack stared into Alex eyes. Alex stared back for about 5 seconds, and then Jack looked away with a cough.
“Ill be right back, Alex.” Jack said, as he walked to the back to speak to his boss.
Alex sat back down in the booth, and waited nervously for Jack to get back. “God, he was really cute. And a Junior, at the same school as me!” Alex thought in his mind. He had total butterflies when he shook Jacks hand, and he looked right at him. Alex was bi-sexual, and not open to his parents or anyone. It scared him to death at the thought of telling people. “He’s probably straight…” Alex thought.
Jack walked back over to Alex, with a huge grin. His boss gave him the job. And Jack was overly excited to work with Alex, and get to know him.
“Congratulations! He said yes to the job, Lex.” Jack caught himself. “A-Alex..”
Alex caught that. And he was squealing inside. “THANK YOU SO MUCH! When do I start!?” He had the biggest grin.
“You start next Tuesday at 8am-6pm. Same shift as me.” Jack grinned at himself. He got his boss to give Alex the same shift as him.
“Awesome! I look forward to it. Thanks again, man.”
“No problem. See you then.” ____________________________________________________
Alex left the little shop, and started home. When he arrived back, and into his house, his parents were watching a movie and cuddling on the couch.
“Hey guys. I got the job.” Alex stated.
“Good job honey! I’m very proud of you.” Alex’s mother, Isobell, responded. His dad was asleep he was guessing.
Alex traipsed up the stairs and into his room. He sighed and lied back on his bed. Jack. He was really, REALLY, sweet. Hopefully his hormones wouldn’t get the best of him at work. He was working the same shift as Jack, anyways. Alex leant over to his side, grabbing his earphones and Ipod. He turned on some Nirvana, and started drifting to sleep. Today had been a long day. And he was ready to rest.
Jack Jack Jack Jack. The younger boy was the only thing on his mind.
“Fuck….what am I getting myself into…” Alex sighed. The boy was doing something weird to him. He was sure he had a girlfriend or something…. Something.
