I'll Keep A Secret If You Keep Me Guessing
Chapter Forty-Four
I highly, HIGHLY recommend that you listen to "The Promise" by Framing Hanley while reading this, as that's what the sequel is based on. Please.
Jack's p.o.v.
"Where are we going?" I asked excitedly, a big smile plastered on my face.
Me and Alex finally made up, and in two days, we were back to our old selves.
It felt nice being able to talk to each other without fighting, and I felt a lot more comfortable. My arms were around Alex's waist as he brushed his hair. He smiled at me, but it was a little off. I let it slip by, anyway.
"Just go pack your suitcase, we don't wanna be late." He kissed my nose, and I giggled, kissing his cheek.
It felt so, so much better now we were not fighting.
Alex said we were going on a trip, so I was excited for that.
I packed the rest of my suitcase with a big grin, looking forward to going on a trip with Alex. It sounded great.
Just as I was finished packing, the doorbell went.
"I've got it!" Alex called. I zipped my suitcase up, grabbing my jumper from the bed.
A couple of minutes later, Alex came up, a weird-looking smile on his face.
"You ready?" He bit down on his lip, and I nodded, pulling my suitcase along with me as I exited the room. I lifted the suitcase downstairs, and Alex grabbed a hold of my hand. As I looked up, I saw two figures standing at the door. Two smart-dressed looking people. I turned to Alex, giving him a confused look as he lead me to them.
"Alex, who are they?" I whispered to him, feeling nerves in my belly. I've never seen them before. Alex ignored me, letting go off my hand as we reached them.
I stared at them, keeping my mouth shut as I tried figuring out who they were.
"Hello, you must be Jack?" The lady asked politely, and I nodded slowly.
"I'm Claire, and this is Sam. We're from Hollywood's greatest care home. Have you got all your things ready, dear?"
No.
No. This can't be happening! I've got a week left with Alex! Why are they so early.
"A-Alex, what's going o-on?" I asked with a lump in my throat. I felt sick.
They can't be here yet, I'm not ready to leave.
Alex ignored me again, and I felt like crying. I pulled his arm, wanting him to give me attention and answer my question.
"Alex! W-Why are they here?" I pulled in his arm roughly, making him look at me. His face held no emotion. It was just blank. I was fidgeting in impatience. I needed answers.
"Come on, sweetie." The women said sweetly, extending her arm out to me. I held onto Alex, not wanting to let him go.
"I'm not leaving." I stated, tears in my eyes. I won't leave Alex, he's all I've got.
The women looked at the man and gave him a nod.
"Come on, son. We'll take good care of you." He walked up to me, and I let the tears fall. He grabbed my wrist, making me stop breathing. Too many memories.
He pulled on my wrist gently, trying to lure me away from Alex. Said boy gave me a look, like he was telling me to go with them.
"Why are they here?! Alex, tell me!" I cried as the man pulled my wrist harder. Alex sighed, ducking his head as I heard him take a breath. It was quiet, too quiet, and I actually thought my world stopped spinning.
"Because I called them."
But when the words fell out his mouth, I was certain my world stopped moving, and I became weak. I let go of Alex's arm, giving him a hurt, disgusted, shocked look.
"You asshole." I whispered at him, my voice hoarse with no emotion but hurt. Sam pulled my wrist, luring me away, but I fought against it.
"You fucking asshole!" I yelled, wanting to go and punch Alex right in the face, but Claire took my other hand. Alex looked down as he stood there.
"W-Why? Y-You said you'll never leave me. Alex you prom-ised!" I sobbed as Claire and Sam began pulled me away from him and towards the front door. I tried breaking their grip, but I was weak, and they were strong.
Alex handed Claire the suitcase which she took with her spare hand.
"No, Alex! Please don't let them take me away. Please!" I cried out, tears screaming down my face as I kept trying to break out the strong grip I was held against.
He shook his head, looking down in disgust. I was full-on sobbing, tears flying down my face. Why would he do this to me? After everything we went through, he's letting me go.
"Come on, hon. Let's go." The women said, and turned around to her and sobbed more. They didn't understand the pain I'm going through. They'll never understand.
"No! I wanna stay here! I'm exactly where I want to be, don't you take that from me because of him. Let go!" I tried and tried to pull away, but they wouldn't let go. They never let go.
"Jack, just go, you'll be fine." Alex smiled sadly at me, stepping forward and cupping my cheeks. He looked right into my eyes, and I couldn't control the sobbing. Please don't let them take me, Alex. His thumb rubbed along my cheek, wiping the tears.
"You'll be no good here. Go with them." He whispered, gesturing to the two adults holding me. I continued to look at him, savoring his face. I wanted to remember everything about him, and with looking him in the eyes, I remembered everything.
"Remember the promise you made?" I whispered, sniffing. He leaned down, placing his lips on mine. We didn't move for a second, just saved the feeling of our lips pressed together. He started moving, and I copied. I saved the feeling of electricity in my belly. I saved the taste of his lips. I saved all of him and stored them in my heart.
He pulled away, tears now falling down his face slowly. I gently removed myself from Claire and Sam's grip as they loosened up. I went straight into Alex's arms. He held me, and I held him tight. I cried into his shirt, clenching onto him. His hand was in my hair, gripping onto it softly as he silently cried.
"I will always remember the promise I made." He whispered into my ear.
Then Claire and Sam were grabbing me away again, and I started screaming at them and Alex.
"No! Let go! Let fucking go!" I sobbed and sobbed, feeling my body become more weaker.
I looked up at Alex, biting down on my trembling lip as he sadly smiled.
"Good-"
"Don't you dare fucking say that to me, Alex! Don't you dare!" I screamed, and Claire and Sam managed to get me out the house. This was it, probably last time I'll ever see Alex again. The last time I'll ever hear his voice. The last time I fell in love.
"Goodbye, Jack." He sniffed, looking at me right in the eyes. I savored his chocolate coloured eyes - the ones I fell hopelessly in every time I looked at them.
Then he started closing the door, and my ears felt like they were bleeding from the little noise the door made. Just a click, and he'll be gone.
"No, Alex. Please! I love you. I fucking love y-"

...Okay this sucked, and I tried. It was probably all pretty obvious, if not, I'm surprised.
BUT AYE, THIS IS THE ENDING GUYS! I don't know what to feel. Kinda happy because it was a pain in the butt, and sad because it's ended. There will be an authors note where I'll talk about random bull, so look forward to that.
This isn't much, but I love you.
Thanks, MakeMeLoveATL
