I'll Keep A Secret If You Keep Me Guessing

Jack's p.o.v.

Me and Alex have been fighting for atleast a week now. I've kept my feet to the ground and told him straight that I wasn't going to forgive him for what he did to Rian.

I was walking down some street that I didn't know the name of, trying to calm myself down and be by myself for a while. It was that bad that I had to meet my fear of going outside to clear my head.

We had another argument, and it was over fucking straighteners. I had accidentally left it on, and they burnt a bit of his stupid little table he puts them on.

It's getting ridiculous now. I'm quite sure Alex's mum knows what's going on, but just left us to it. It just wanted it to stop.

I let out a sigh, keeping my head down as I turned another corner. I ended up bumping into someone.

I looked up and found the guy with the tattoos and black hair.

Austin, I think his name was.

"Sorry." I mumbled, putting my head back down.

"Oh...hey Jack." Austin mumbled back. He didn't seem right. He had a smirk on his face. I didn't like him, I admit. He's the one that was saying shit to Rian and punched me when I defended my best friend.

"How are you and your boyfriend?" He asked, the smirk still visible. My boyfriend? How did he know about me and Alex? I gave him a confused look, and he just smiled.

"Yeah, I know about you two. I'd be careful around him though, Jack." Fucking tell me about it. I sighed, and nodded. He grabbed something out his pocket, giving it to me.

A photo, but he gave me it facing upside down.

"A man's gotta do what a man's gonna do. Or should I say Alex."

I turned the photo, and my heart sank.

The photo showed Alex and Lisa eating each others face off. I stared at it with anger, sadness, hurt and in shock. He'd go that far?

"I found them behind the school a couple days ago, and I knew I couldn't let you live your life with him doing this behind your back," Austin sadly smiled at me, and I wiped the tear that fell down my face with my sleeve. "Sorry, Jack." He said, before patting my back and walking off.

Why would Alex do this to me? Because we were fighting? But why?

I didn't know what to think, but I knew my body held anger and sadness.

Is he making it his goal to hurt me so much like this? It seems like it to me.

I decided to walk back home even though I didn't want to go back there. It was getting dark, though, and I hate being out in the dark.

~~~

After finally finding my way back home, I opened the front door, sniffing. I let my emotions get the better of me and ended up crying the whole way home.

"Oh Jack, honey, you're home. Alex wants to speak to you, he's upstairs." Isobel smiled at me, and I died inside. So know is the time he's going to break up with me and tell me he's been cheating. I nodded at Isobel, walking upstairs with a gut full of nerves.

Reaching Alex's bedroom, I knew this would be the last minute of being his boyfriend.

Knocking and opening his room, I ducked my head. I was soon being pulled into a hug, making me surprised. This is the first hug I've had in a week. I felt Alex breathe in my scent, making me confused and angry.

I pushed him away from me, and he looked hurt. I'm not having his arms around me when they've been around someone else's.

"Jack I-" I reached into my pocket and threw the photo at him, but it fell midway, landing at his feet. He looked at me for a second, before crouching down to receive the photo. He turned it over, shock already on his face.

"Jack, where did you get this?" He whispered, looking up at me from the photo. I crossed my arms over my chest.

"A friend of yours gave me it when I bumped into him a couple of minutes ago. So you're cheating on me as well as trying to hurt me the best you can?" I clenched onto my shirt, letting out deep breaths as I tried to hold in my tears. He shook his head, his mouth slightly open and his eyebrows narrowed.

"This - Jack, this was taken two years ago."

"Bullshit! You're a cheating liar." I yelled - something I seemed to do everyday now. We were constantly throwing insults at each other everyday when it wasn't needed. I don't how we turned into this big ball of fights just because I was upset that Alex was leaving me by myself, and that he was ignoring me. I kinda felt like it was my fault for the start of all this, even though Alex had a big fair amount of the blame, too.

"No I'm not Jack! This was taken two years ago, I promise. I wouldn't cheat on you!" Alex argued back, seeming on the edge of tears, looking at me with pleading eyes. I don't know what to believe or trust anymore. Not after what he did to Rian. Not after what he said about me and my dad.

"You seemed to do everything else, so it'd surprise me if you didn't do this to me." I stated. It would surprise me. It'd surprise me a lot. The way he's stuck to Lisa's side makes it hard to believe him.

"I'm gonna tell you this once more: I did not, and never will, cheat on you." He punctured every word into my brain. I can't. I can't trust him. I can't trust my own boyfriend.

What am I even saying?! Of course I trust Alex; he saved me. I love him, I can't do this to him, even though he's done twice as worse.

"Whatever." I mumbled, tears now reaching the surface. I quickly wiped them, stopping them from falling.

"Are you even happy here?" He asked, giving me a sad look. To be honest, I'm not. Not with all that has been going on.

"N-No." I stuttered, holding myself from breaking into sobs. He looked at me straight in the eyes and nodded.

"Come here." He held his arms out, and I was hesitant. Falling back into Alex's arms sounds dangerous, but I did it anyway. I feel into his arms, crying and sobbing into his shirt as he held me.

I love you Alex, I love you so much.

Alex's p.o.v.

All it took was for Jack to say no to that question, and I made my mind up.

After I tucked him in my bed, I walked downstairs quietly, seeing as it was late because Jack had held onto me for at least an hour.

I crept over to the phone, dialing the numbers and took a breath.

I love you, Jack, and I can't keep hurting you.

Notes

Next chapter is the last one, guys! ;-; Holddd meeee (more like I should hold you). I'm gonna try my hardest to make it good, but it'll probably still suck like always.

I'm gonna miss this story a lot. ;_; It's my most "successful" one so far (Idk how it got 55 votes when the beginning of this story is absolutely terrible and it should burn), and couldn't of really made it without MakeMeLoveATL, so thank you.

THANKS MUTHUHFERKUHZ.
