Alex woke up, and glanced over towards the clock. It was five in the morning. He tried to go back to sleep, but it was impossible. He rolled out of bed, and grabbed a pen and paper writing Jack a note.

Jack, I’m gonna go home and take a shower, and get a change of clothes. This is incase you wake up before I come back.

Love, Alex

He laid the slip of paper on his pillow, and quickly made his way out into the misty morning. He had no intention of going home. He was going to find Zack.

He walked down the small path by the park were Zack usually hung out with his posse until seven in the morning. Alex spotted him immediately, all alone. He smiled to himself, coming into view.

“I’ve got a few things to say to you.” He said angrily, stopping a few feet away. Zack stood up, staring at Alex as if he wanted to kill him.

“Is this about your boyfriend, faggot?” Zack hissed, stepping closer. Alex clenched his fists, his jaw locking with anger. He was resisting the urge to hit him. “Come on, you little queer. If you’re going to hit me, do it.” Zack taunted. In a flash, Alex had Zack by the front of his shirt. Alex was about a head taller than the older boy, which gave him a slighter advantage. Zack laughed, looking up at Alex. He opened his mouth to speak, but Alex punched him in the lower Jaw.

“You’re so fucking dead.” Zack said, holding onto were Alex hit him. He stepped forward, grabbing onto Alex’s jacket and picking him up from the ground. He pulled back his fist, but before it could connect, Alex kicked him in the stomach. He tumbled to the ground, but instantly got back up.

“You need to leave Jack, the fuck alone.” Alex said, pushing Zack so he was laying on his back. He climbed over him, and began repeatedly punching him in the face. “You got that, Merrick. Leave him alone!” He yelled in Zack’s face.

“Yes, yes. I got it.” Zack cried, turning his head away. Alex stood up, towering over Zack.

“I mean it. You touch him again, I’ll end you!” Alex said angrily, turning on his heel. He heard Zack get up behind him, but he thought nothing of it.

“Hey, Alex.” Zack called out to him. Rolling his eyes, he turned around.

​“What do you want?” He said annoyed. Before anything else was said, a gunshot echoed through the empty park, and Alex collapsed to the ground.
