I'll Keep A Secret If You Keep Me Guessing

Jack's p.o.v

Alex kissed me. Alex kissed me. Alex kissed me. And he was coming back tomorrow. That meant that he wasn't freaking out, right? I mean, he couldn't freak out. He kissed me, I just... kissed back. But, what if he didn't come? If he realized I am a failure, that he deserves something better? Because, if I tell you the truth, he does. He deserves the world. He's perfect.

I heard the doctor clear his throat, snapping me out of my thought. "Jack? Are you here buddy?"

I nodded, moving my head so I could see him better. He smiled and sat down on a chair beside my bed. "So... how are you feeling?"

"I don't know... E-everything hu-urts..." I mumbled.

"Yeah, well... you have some serious injuries in your body, you know? The person that did this to you must have a lot of strength." Or must hate me a lot, I thought. "The police is looking for him."

"Do you know who-o di.. did it?"

"Yes we do, Jack. You're not going back there, we promise you. He won't bother you again."

I smiled. Was this really happening? My dad... he wouldn't hurt me again? Never? This must be some kind of dream.

"You will stay here for a few days... maybe a week or two. Then, we will see what we do with you. Aren't you eighteen yet?" I shook my head. He sighed. "When it is your birthday?"

"In... in a few months."

"Okay, there's nothing to worry about now. We can discuss that later. Now get some rest, Jack. I will come and check on you later." He smiled warmly at me as he stood up. When he got to the door and was about to open it, I yelled "Wait!"

He turned around, his eyes wide. "Jack?! Are you okay?!"

I chuckled, and nodded. "I am. I just wanted to know your name."

He smiled, shaking his head. "Josh. Josh Franceschi."

"Okay... thank you, Mr. Franceschi." And with that, he left, leaving me completely alone and in peace for the first time in a long, long time.

Notes

SORRY IT TOOK ME FOREVER TO UPDATE. I have some stuff going on. And also, my writer's block is even worse than before. So, hope you're happy with this crappy update.

Look at that! Dr. Franceschi.
