“Rian!” Jack yelled, running to the entrance of the park. Rian turned to Jack, to see a scared look on his face.

“What’s wrong? Where’d you go?” Rian asked, placing his hand on Jacks shoulder. Jack was breathing heavily.

“C-come here. I-I need your help.” Jack stuttered, disappearing into the park again with Rian close behind. They reached Alex, and Rian froze.

“You want to help him? He’s left you like this multiple times, and you want to help him?” He asked, turning to Jack with a bewildered look on his face. Jack only nodded, unable to speak. Rian stood for a minute, before helping Alex up from the ground. “Where to?” Rian asked.

“My house. It’s not to far from here.” Jack said, walking ahead. Rian followed, not to happy about helping Alex. They got many glances and double takes while walking to Jacks. There was blood all over Alexs face and shirt, and it was starting to dry.

“Make sure my moms not outside.” Alex croaked, wincing from the pain. Jack nodded, and walked ahead to see if Isobel was outside. To his relief, she wasn’t. In fact, no one was home. Jack gave them the signal that it was clear, and Rian pulled Alex along as quick as he could.

When they reached Jacks house, Rian handed Alex over. “I gotta get going. I have to meet Kara at the movies.” He said, waving and disappearing down the road. Jack helped Alex inside, sitting him down at the kitchen table, and immediately fishing out the first aid kit. He cleaned up the blood on Alexs face, and motioned for him to take off his shirt. He hesitated at first, but then obliged, handing the shirt to Jack.

“I’ll be right back.” Jack said, running to his room and grabbing a clean shirt from his closet. He made his way back out into the kitchen, and put the shirt on the table. He pulled out the antiseptic wipes. “This might sting.” He warned, placing it on the cut above his eye. Alexs hand instantly found Jacks, and squeezed it. Jacks eyes shot down to look at their hands, and began to blush.

“Oh, sorry.” Alex said, letting go of his hand and looking down.

“No, it’s alright. It’s a habit I guess.” Jack said, clearing his throat. He pulled out a bandage and put it on the cut, and then handed Alex the shirt. He watched as he pulled it on, thinking the shirt looked amazing on him. Shaking the thought from his head, he pulled an ice pack from the freezer, and handed it to Alex for his ribs.

“Thanks.” Alex said, getting up from the chair. “Uh, Jack. I need to talk to you.” Alex said nervously, looking everywhere but at Jack.

“O-Okay.” Jack said, confusion lining his voice. He watched as Alex walked past him, and then followed him to the living room. They both sat on the couch, a large amount of space between them. “What do you need to tell me?” Jack asked after a long awkward silence, fidgeting with the strings on his hoodie. Alex turned to Jack, and smiled guiltily.

“E-Everything.”
