Deer In The Headlights

Jack's p.o.v.

I text my mum saying not to pick me up because I'm going 'out' . By 'out', I mean to Alex's, but she doesn't need to know that.

"It's not good to lie to your mum, y'know?" Alex suddenly asks from across the table. I raised an eyebrow, daring in my eyes.

"Okay, I'll just text her saying 'that was a lie, come pick me up'." I smirked, looking back down at my phone. I was just tapping my phone randomly. Of course I wouldn't put down an opportunity to go to Alex's house, even if it meant lying to my mum. Just then, my phone made a weird noise, indicating me that I had a new message. I unlocked it, reading what my mum had put.

By out you mean Alex's? ;)

Dammit, how did she do that? I coughed, clearing my throat.

"Oh would you look at that, she's on her way to pick me up. Such a shame." I kept back my giggle.

"No, I won't allow it. You're mine." Alex said, trying to be firm and serious, but he ended up making that 'spit out milk' noise and then laughed at his own stupidity. Oh god. I would die to hear that again.

"Can you not laugh at my shoulder, you Tallywanker" I said in a 'posh' voice, brushing my shoulder as if it had dust on it.

"Jack..." Alex caught his breath from laughing before continuing, "why would I be laughing at your shoulder, oh my god." He ended up laughing again. It feels nice to be able to have a laugh-about with Alex. We sometimes laugh randomly for no reason when we're together, and I really like it.

"I mean, who wouldn't?" I said, looking over to my shoulder before looking down at my phone.

I um, okay don't kill me, I am. But only because he offered me to catch up on my work for school I typed down, locking my phone and placing it in my jean pocket.

"Oh shit, you need to go. I'll meet you where we did last time, okay?" Alex asks, looking away from his watch. He stands up and I do the same. He walks over to me and pecks my lips, I kiss his nose and walk over to the door.

"See you in a bit." I said in that 'posh' voice again. Alex chuckled, nodding.

"Farewell, my Queen." He giggled. God, he's so giggly and I don't think I can bare it any longer. So, with that, I walk out the door.

"Jack, long time no see." Alex said as I got into his car. I turned to him, my lips in a straight line.

"Are you high?" I ask, and buckled up my seatbelt.

"Nope, just a bit crazy." He laughed. Again. Can he stop? Because every time he laughs my heart melts and it's not fair. It's the sound of his laugh and the way his dimples show that makes him so adorable.

"Same." I suddenly sigh. I am just a bit crazy, I mean, with these nightmares and depression, that isn't normal. I suddenly snapped myself from my thoughts, not wanting to be thinking about the stuff that pull me down. Alex's happy, and so should I be.

"Sorry." I mumble, noticing there was some silence. It was an awkward silence for me, I'm not sure about Alex.

"You're not crazy, I promise. You're just strange...like me!" Alex said, suddenly placing his hand on mine. I nearly jumped by his touch, but I kept still. He then turned on the car, taking his hand off mine. I played with my cast for a little before I decided that I couldn't take the ride no longer and fell asleep.

When I woke up, I immediately sat up, realising the blanket that was on me and the sofa I was on. When I did sit up, my eyes adjusted to the Alex on the arm chair, asleep himself. I nearly laughed at the way he was sleeping; one leg over the arm of the armchair and the other over the back of the armchair. One hand almost touching the floor, the other under his jeans. His mouth was open, a dribble obviously forming. I smiled, rubbing my eyes after. Well shit...what do I do now? I should go wake up Alex, but, I don't think I have the heart to right now. I woke him up earlier, so why not now? He seems so much more peaceful, but the way he's sitting doesn't seem so comfortable. Why is he asleep on the armchair anyway? Why isn't he in his comfortable bed upstairs? Maybe he was waiting for me to wake up, and fell asleep? Yeah. I removed the blanket from myself and flung my legs around the sofa. I pulled out my phone, seeing a message from my mum.

Just catching up, sureee. :)

I smiled down at my mum, biting my lip.

"Well that's attractive." A sleepy voice made me jump and grip my phone tighter. I looked over a sleepy looking Alex. He was rubbing his eyes and his hair was a mess.

"You just scared the shit out of me." I let out in one breath, my heart still racing a little.

"Yeah, well, I had to point it out." Alex smiled before yawning. "What time is it?" He asked. I look down at my phone and look in the corner.

"Seven." I replied. We only had one hour of sleep. He nodded.

"What time are you meant to be at home?" He asks, groaning when he brings his hand up from the floor. I guess the blood must of rushed down to his hand. I actually have no idea when I'm meant to be home. It depends on when Alex thinks it's too late.

"Whenever you get bored of me." I laughed, locking my phone and placing it back in my jean pocket.

"Is that forever then?" He suddenly stands up, stretching his arms. It must hurt laying in that armchair like that.

"Maybe." I smiled over to him. I just really want him to sit over here so I can cuddle the shit out of him.

"Do want some food or a drink?" He suddenly asks, now stopped stretching.

"Just a drink please. Can I use your loo?" I say, watching Alex nod.

"Sure Grandma, just bring it back." He chuckles walking to the kitchen. I get up, hearing my bones click loudly. I then make my way to my destination to release this waterfall.

When I came back down, Alex was just placing the drinks on the coffee table before sitting back down on the armchair. I pouted as I walked over to him.

"I wanted you to sit next to me." I say as I was beside Alex. I watch him shrug.

"Tough shit, man tits." He smirks. I gasp before shrugging.

"Well, it looks like I'll have to sit on you." I chuckled, walking in front of him and turning around. When I feel Alex's hands on my hips that pull me down onto his lap, I let out a gasp again.

"You're such a girl." I hear Alex sigh, his breath on my neck as he snuggling into it.

"Not true." I huff. "Aren't you suppose to be teaching me cool shit about space?" I suddenly ask, remembering the original reason that I'm here for.

"I don't know what you're talking about." Alex rubbed his nose against my neck, making me get butterflies.

"Me neither, let's just stay like this because you're comfortable." I say, looking down at Alex's hands that were around my belly.

"I love you." Alex kissed my neck, making me get shivers. Good shivers though.

"And I love you too." I smiled, resting my head on Alex's. I honestly could stay like this forever, I'm not even joking. If I could just stay with Alex forever with no school or exams, I will more than likely be better. My depression will go, just because being in Alex's arms is the best thing in the world. Having Alex snuggled into my neck, me in his laps, it's the best feeling I've had. I know I wanted to be with this man forever. I will be with him forever because I can't see myself with anyone else.
