I'll Keep A Secret If You Keep Me Guessing

Jack's p.o.v

I really, really didn't understand Alex. He just ignored me the whole morning, and now when I have a panick attack..., he cares for me? I should be happy about it, right? I mean, nobody ever cared so much for me... but it was weird. I never saw Alex like that, so worried about something. I loved that face of Alex a lot, but I promised myself I wouldn't let him get so worried about me never again.

Alex looked at me, and held me his hand to help me stand up.

"Thank you." I said, blushing. Stop it, Jack!

"There's nothing to be thankful for." He smiled at me. "Are you sure you can go to the next class?" he asked.

I shrugged. "I don't think so."

"I don't want to force you. Lets get to the nurse so you can go home, okay?" I was about to nod, when I remembered my father.

"No... No, I can't go home. No. I'll stay here." I stopped walking.

"Jack... you have to go home, it will be worst if you stay here."

"I can't go home, Alex!" I felt tears falling through my cheeks. Why was I so weak?

"Jack, calm down. You don't want to have another panic attack, right?" He grabbed me by my wrists. "What's wrong with your house?"

I shook my head. "I don't want to talk about it."

Alex sighed, and then bite his lip. "Okay. Come to my house, then."

I looked at him. "Are you sure? Your parents wont...?"

He cut me off. "They are on a bussines trip. They said they come back in two weeks, but it's probably a month or so." He locked our fingers together. "I'll take you to the nurse, and, when school finishes, I'll look for you there. Okay?" I nodded in agreement as he turned around and walked me to the nurse. I was a little shocked that he was holding my hand. But I didn't mind.

"Gaskarth, I never thought the day when you crossed this doors without being hurt would come!" she smirked at him, and then turned around to look at me. "What did this jerk made to you, sweetty?"

"Uh.. he didn't beat me or anything." I mumbled, a bit nervous.

"He had a panic attack, I helped him to calm down, but I think he sould stay here for the rest of the day."

The nurse shook her head. "Why won't you go home? It would be better for you."

"He's staying at my house, that's why. And I can't skip classes, you know?" Alex lied.

"Okay, I will take care of this beautiful boy until the bell rings." The nurse smiled at me, as Alex left the room.

The next hours I spend it sat at a chair in the corner of the nursery. The nurse, who's name was Anna, was very kind to me. We talked about a lot of things, her sons, her husband, the music they liked, where she was from, how old was her, and other stuff. I really enjoyed talking to her, she was pretty sweet and understanding. I didn't talked to her about my scars, nor about my dad beating me, but she seemed nice, and I felt I could trust her. I didn't mind she was a forty years old.

It was time to leave, so she gave me a quick hug and told me to take care. The moment she disappeared through the door, I took out my earbuds and searched my phone in my bag. I didn't find it. I took out all my stuff. It wasn't here. Maybe I forgot it at my locker? Maybe I left it in my desk... Shit. Or, even worse, at my dad's house. Shitshitshitshit.

Suddenly, the door opened, showing a very happy Alex. I swear I don't fucking understand this boy.

"Ready to go?" He said, smiling. I nodded and grabbed my bag.

"Could we go to my locker for a second?" Alex looked at me, confused. "I-I think I left my-y phone in there." We walked to my locker, I opened it, and..., GREAT! My phone wasn't there either.

"Maybe you left it in your desk?" Alex asked.

"N-no. It must be in... in my h-house." I mumbled, a bit uncomfortable about talking 'my home'. That wasn't a 'home'. It was a house were I slept in, and ate. But that wasn't a home. There was no way that could be one.

"You'll find it soon. Let's go. Tomorrow we can go to your house and look for it." He grabbed my hand again and we walked to his house. If I have to tell you the truth, I felt safe when Alex hold my hand.
