Who Said It Was Gonna Be Easy?
Chapter 3
"you are not fat. Trust me, you're not"
"I don't believe you" he said, swallowing hard as he looked into my eyes. I sighed then leaned closer, pressing my lips against his. After a minute I pulled away, satisfied when I noticed Alex was blushing.
"jack, I-"
"no. Do you believe me now?" a small smile appeared on his face and he bit his lip nervously. He then shook his head. I pushed his head back and kissed him even harder.
"how about now?" I murmured. He grabbed my top in hs hands and held me where I was.
"I guess we're getting there" he smirked before kissing me again.
"um..jack?" I jumped, realising I had zoned out. What the fuck was that about? Sure, Alex was hot but he was my student! Plus, if he werent my student, did I really want all his extra baggage? With self harm comes depression. From past knowledge I knew depression came hand in hand with suicidal tendencies. Did I really want to get any more involved than just as his teacher?
"wow I really need to get off" I thought to myself.
"sorry" I said to Alex. "zoned out"
"it's okay I get it" he smiled understandingly and I found myself just wanting to kiss him. I barely even knew him! What was I thinking?!
"how old are you, Alex?"
"18, why?"
"just wondering. It's sad that you're dealing with this much. Don't you have anyone to help you?"
So he was legal. Interesting.
"my grandma. She's not much help. I don't let her" he smiled sadly.
"why not?"
"I don't want her to" he said simply. I nodded then sighed.
"we should probably get out of school"
"yeah..I should start walking home before it gets too dark"
"yeah" I muttered absent mindedly as we walked out of school together.
"alright..well..I'llĀ talk to you tomorrow. I'm not done with my questioning"
"oh great" he answered sarcastically. I laughed and nudged him with my elbow.
"shut it you" I said. He grinned and took a few steps back.
"seeya tomorrow then, jack" he said. I nodded then waved as I walked away to the car park. Alex walked away, hands in the pockets of his jeans. As I was sorting stuff out in my car, it began to rain. It rained heavily too. I was glad I was out of it because otherwise I'd be drenched.
I started my car engine and drove out of the car park. I drove along the street until I got to the main road. I suddenly felt bad. Alex had said he was walking home. I couldn't let him walk home in this weather. It was torrential. My point was proven when thunder boomed across the sky. I turned right onto the main road having a feeling he'd gone that way. After driving for over 5 minutes I decided to just give up and turn around.
It was absolutely pouring it down and my windscreen wipers were on the highest setting. I kept an eye out for Alex as I drove and after about 5 minutes I spotted him. I beeped my horn but he didn't react. There were no other cars around so I slowed down and opened my car door, yelling his name. He saw me and pulled his headphones out of his ears, running over to my car.
"hey"
"What do you want?"
"do you want a lift? I can't let you walk home in this weather"
"it's fine. I need the exercise" raindrops fell from his nose. he was dripping wet.
"get in, Alex" I told him. His shoulders slumped and he went to walk around my car. I closed my door and waited for him to get in. His clothes were soaked through and he was shivering. I whacked the heating up as high as it'd go as I carried on driving.
"why am I even still here?" he asked suddenly.
"what?"
"look at me. I should just do everyone a favour and die" he was still shivering and he was shaking hard. I couldn't be sure but I think he was crying.
"I'm not taking you home in this state. You can come home with me and I'll take you home later, okay?"
"ja-"
"okay?" I interrupted him.
"okay" he gave in. We sat in silence. Alex didn't stop shivering the whole time.
"shit, you're really cold, aren't you?"
"y-y-yep" he stuttered as his teeth chattered. I shot him a sympathetic look and just drove quicker.
When we arrived back at my flat, I quickly got Alex inside, pushing him towards the bathroom.
"you're freezing. Here's a towel, go take a shower, warm yourself up. There's shower gel and shampoo and stuff in there and you can borrow some dry clothes, ok?"
"jack, I- this is too much, I'm fine honestly"
"I'm not taking no for an answer. Now go" I spun him round and pushed him into the bathroom. He laughed as I pulled the door closed behind him. I quickly went and got changed into some sweatpants and a hoodie then got some spare clothes for Alex. I knocked on the door and told him I'd leave them outside the bathroom for him. I then went and started to cook us some tea.
After about 15 minutes, Alex appeared. I nearly choked. His hair was soaked and flopped over his forehead and my clothes were slightly baggy on him.
He looked ridiculously cute.
