Who Said It Was Gonna Be Easy?

"jack?!"

"Alex, help" he sobbed. I ran to him, crouching by him.

"jack, what's happened?! What's wrong?!"

"he-he stabbed me! He stabbed me, I'm sorry, I couldn't stop him! I have nowhere else to go!" he moved his hand to his leg, collapsing onto the floor as he did so. I noticed the dark red patch on his pyjama bottoms, slightly covered by his fingers.

"fuck, jack! You're bleeding!"

"well yeah, lex, that's what tends to happen when a person gets stabbed" he smiled through his tears.

"come on, come inside. Can you walk?"

"kinda but it really hurts" he winced as he moved his leg slightly. I nodded and helped him up. I helped him get inside and upstairs to my room.

"here, sit on my bed" I said softly.

"take off your pants"

"are you really trying to seduce me at a moment like this?" he joked, still crying. I rolled my eyes at him.

"s'working" he mumbled so quietly I could barely hear him. I laughed and began to try and clean him up a bit.

"lex?"

"mhmm?"

"can I explain?"

"are you going to anyway?"

"yeah. So you walked in on me kissing Rian.."

"yes"

"I'd brought him into my classroom to talk to him about beating you up. He made me do it, lex. I didn't want to, I swear"

"so why did you then?"

"He-he's my....my ex. He started kissing me and telling me about how he missed me and I told him I'd moved on and to stop and stuff but he wouldn't stop. He started threatening me saying he'd hurt me if I didn't kiss him back. I was so scared. I knew what he'd do if I didn't do what he said. I had no choice. I'm so sorry, I was going to tell you. I didn't want to kiss him. I love you, not him" jack started sobbing uncontrollably, his fingers grasping the bottom of my top.

"jack...I-I didn't know. I thought you were just cheating on me. I'm so sorry" I stroked his cheek gently, trying to calm him down.

"will you please take me back? I miss you so much. I love you" he asked.

"I-I-I'm not sure I can. I'm with vic. Things are different now. I love you but..I'm with vic. I'm his now" I forced his fngers from my top. He looked like I'd just punched him in the face then set fire to a kitten.

"please, Alex. Every day without you breaks my heart a little bit more"

"I-I'm going to go call vic..ask him to come round..I-I need to talk to him" I stuttered as I hastily made my way out of my room, leaving a sobbing jack curled up on my bed. I couldn't see a way out of this mess. Why is life so hard?
