Don't Let This Memory Fade Away.
Chapter 9
“Jack, honey, you need to get out of your room. You’ve been in there for days.”
Jack hadn’t left his room for 5 days straight. Hadn’t picked up his phone, showered, ate, or even spoke to anyone. He locked himself up with his belongings, and his razor. Jack had cut every single day since his fight with Alex. He was falling hard for that boy, and he just went and kissed someone else. Jack was heartbroken, but hadn’t broken up with Alex. He didn’t know what to do, really.
Alex had stayed at Tay’s house for the 5 days. His mom got extremely pissed that he wasn’t arriving home, but he didn’t care. He didn’t care about anything at the moment, other than fixing things with Jack. He couldn’t function, not knowing where Jack was, or how he was doing. The younger boy meant a lot to him, and he was really starting to fall hard. He knew that Jack would be the one to catch him. He had never felt this way about someone, especially a boy. Jack had this way of making him feel special. He made him feel like he meant something, and that’s what Alex needed. And Alex knew he was what Jack needed, too.

The next day, Jacks mom knocked on his door, surprised to actually get a response. “Jack, please, you need to get out of your room. Are you even in there?” Jack’s mom had heard him sometimes through the night crying. So she knew for a fact he was there, but she was making sure. She didn’t have a clue of what had happened, though. “Y-yeah… I’m fine mom, really.” Jack sniffled with his sentence. “Jack, please let me in. I’m here to comfort you.” His mom sounded worried about him, for once.
“Fine… come in I guess…”
Stepping into Jack’s bedroom, Joyce sighed. She saw him sitting on his bed in sweatpants, with an old tee shirt, and messy, greasy hair. He looked like shit. “Son, what happened…?” Joyce leant down and sad on the edge of his mattress. “Nothing mom. I’m fine. Really.” Jack tried to pull a smile, but it was obvious that it was forced. He didn’t know how to smile anymore… at least sincerely. “You’re obviously not fine. I’m not blind, Jack. I can see that something is wrong.”
Jack glanced down at his palms, then back up at his mother. His eyes filling with tears. Joyce leant over and Jack buried his nose into her neck, sobbing. She rubbed his back gently as he continued to cry into his mother’s arms. “Shhhhh… Just calm down love.” Joyce sat back, and lifted Jacks chin to meet his eyes. “You know I’m here for you. You can tell me what’s wrong.” She informed. Jack knew that she was really trying this time to help. He wiped at his eyes, and looked back up to meet his moms.
“I’m just really, really sad mom.”

Alex and Tay were sitting on her roof, watching the sunset. Alex’s head was leaning in the crook of Tay’s neck, and she rubbed his leg a bit. “Everything between you and Jack is going to be fine, okay? I know how he feels about you, and how you feel about him. You’re obviously head over heels for the boy, and you can’t let Lisa mess that up. Go talk to her, and sort things out. I know that you’re afraid of coming out. But, to save yours and Jacks relationship, you might have to. You will be fine, and will be by your side the entire time, alright? I promise.”
Maybe Tay was right. Maybe Alex should come out to his family and friends. No one would expect it… But he was terrified of what his parents would think. He didn’t quite know exactly how they felt about Bi-sexuals. That was what Alex was scared of. How they would react. He knew that Tay and her family were okay with it, and that Jack’s family were, but he was just screaming on the inside at the thought of telling people. “I don’t know, Tay. Not yet. But soon, okay? I just need to make a plan for it.”
First, Alex needed to fix things with Jack.

Alex found himself in front of Jack’s house. He didn’t know what drew him to here, but he walked up to the door anyways. He knocked quietly, and backed up a little bit. Standing for a couple minutes, he tried again. No answer. There were no cars in the drive way, so no one must have been home. He traipsed over to the backyard, and moved the mat on the floor to retrieve the key to the house. He unlocked the back, and stepped inside. All of the lights were off, and it was completely silent. Was no one home? Was Jack even there?
He stepped up the stairs and into the hallway to Jacks bedroom. Alex didn’t quite know if he wanted to enter into the bedroom, because, how would Jack react? He started down the hallway lightly, trying not to make a sound, in case Jack was in fact home. His hand reached the door knob, when he pressed his ear against the door. Alex heard soft snores, instantly knowing Jack was asleep. He smiled a little, at the fact that the younger boy was able to sleep fine tonight. They hadn’t contacted one another for 6 days. Alex was getting worried to the extreme, because he cares about the boy quite a lot. Knowing that Jack was safe, made Alex feel a lot better.
He turned the handle to the door, and peaked inside. Jack was defiantly sleeping. Alex giggled a bit, because the boy looked super cute. He smelt a bit funny, but he was still adorable. He moved further inside of the room, and closed the door. Alex walked over to the edge of Jacks bed, and sat down softly. He didn’t want to wake the boy, in case of him getting upset at Alex being there. So he just sat, and moved his hand to run it through Jacks raven locks. He had dark circles under his eyes, and his cheeks were puffy. He looked like he had been crying for a while. Alex instantly felt terrible, and just wanted to hold the boy, and tell him that everything would be fine. But, Alex couldn’t. He was the reason why.
Alex removed his shoes, and his jeans, so he was sitting in his boxers. He crawled over to Jacks left side, and lay down. He wrapped him arm lightly around the boy. The room was pitch dark, and he could really see anything, but he heard shuffling, and noticed Jack had moved, and grumbled. He sad back down, and nuzzled his nose into Alex’s neck. He breathed in, and wrapped his arm around Alex’s waist. “Alex…” Jack whispered. “Yeah Jack?” Alex returned.
“I missed you.”
“I missed you, too.”

Jack woke up in the morning, wrapped up in Alex’s arms. He nudged his nose against the boy, waking him up.
“Morning.” Jack started, smiling a bit, then looking down with a frown.
“Morning…” Alex started off.
“Hey… Jack, I just really needed to be with you. I can’t do anything without you… I’ve struggled so bad this past week, knowing that I hurt you. Lisa means nothing to me. She just kissed me because she’s a whore that wants attention. All I want is you. All I need is you, honestly. You’re so perfect… And you mean a lot to me. I can’t help it Jack… I’m falling hopelessly in love with you. I know it only been a couple months since we met. But I am. And I just really, really like you. And im so sorry, babe.” Alex finished, burring his face into his palms. Jack was in complete awh. Did Alex really just said this stuff to him? Did he really mean that?
Jack lifted Alex’s chin, and looked him in the eyes.
“I feel the same way, babe. I believe I’m falling hopelessly in love with you too.”
Jack leant down to connect his lips softly, but passionately with Alex’s.
They were fixed. And Jack was happier than ever.
