Deer In The Headlights

Alex's p.o.v.

Today's the day. Today is where I go and take Jack to see Good Charlotte as an early birthday present. I'm so fucking excited. One, because I get to tell Jack today. Two, because it's Good Charlotte! I love that band to pieces, same as Jack, and that's how I know tonight is going to be perfect.

My plan is to tell Jack when he arrives at my work. I'm so happy and excited because this is my first time, and I know it's Jack's as well. I'm sure he'll be just as excited as I am.

I pull the tickets out my jumper pockets, my fingers moving smoothly along them. It's going to be so fucking fun.

~~~

"Hey, hey, hey, guess who it is!" I suddenly saw black with a bit of pink. I knew straight away who was standing behind me and covering my eyes, so I decided to go for the worse answer.

"Your mum tied up to a kitchen chair while a polar bear fucks her?" I smirk, then I see daylight.

"You're fucking gross." I hear Jack say, walking over to the chair I normally sit on. I hum approvingly, defiantly agreeing with his statement.

"What ya been doing?" Jack smiles, crossing his arms on the table, leaning forward slightly. Alex shrugs.

"Nothing much. What you been up to, princess?" I chuckle, stretching my arms out before crossing them in a similar way to Jack.

"Mmm, same. Rian's completely forgave me after I brought him merch." Jack says, bringing his head down on the desk so his chin is on the table, his arms spread out in front of him.

"That's great. Where's my merch?" I giggle, also finding the way Jack is resting himself on the table adorable. Jack shrugs his shoulders.

"Sorry." Jack says, sitting back up. I just give him a quick smile, not even bothered about band merch. I'm quite sure we'll be getting band merch tonight. Wait, I need to tell him!

"Jaaaack." I call his name out. He looks at me oddly, tilting his head slightly.

"Yeeess?" He asks, biting down on his lip. Yeah, that's attractive.

"Come here." I say, pointing to my laps. Jack gives me a confused look for a second, before getting up, walking over to me and placing himself in my laps. I place one arm around his waist, the other in my pocket.

"Do you love me?" I smile, kissing his ear.

"Nope." Jack smirks, rubbing my knuckles with his fingers. I knew he was joking, so I didn't take it seriously.

"Yeah, but, you have to love me because I," I grabbed the tickets, slowly placing them in Jack's laps.

"Have got tickets to see Good Charlotte." I smirk, kissing the back of his neck. He instantly gasped, then squeals like a twelve-year-old girl. He looks down at the tickets before turning to me, looking at me with sparkles in his brown eyes.

"You," Jack kisses me, "are the best." He kisses me again, more power to it this time. I close my eyes, kissing him back with as much force. We break apart soon, Jack still looking at me with loving eyes.

"And, did you know, we're seeing them today." I say proudly, and Jack kisses me on the nose before jumping up and down on my laps, screaming and gasping. I laugh at the excited boy in front of me, turning not to get turned on by the fact he's jumping up and down on my crotch.

"Can we leave now? Like, right now?!" He shouts, getting off me. I frown at him.

"Not until this lesson is over."

He instantly pouts, sitting down on the floor. I laugh quietly at him. I swear he gets more cute everyday.

"Get up! I've got to give you your review soon, so tell me how things are going." I say, getting up to walk over to my clipboard. I walk around Jack, but he catches onto my leg, nearly making me fall.

"Fuck! Jack you dick!" I groan, trying to get his grip off me.

"Am not!" He accuses, gripping tighter onto my leg. I huff angrily, sitting down in front of him.

"You Jack, are certainly a dick." I cross my arms, glaring at Jack. He shook his head, letting go off my leg.

"Yeah, but you love dick." Jack smirked, sitting so his legs were beside my cross-legged legs, leaning back on his elbows with his hair in his face.

"Well, obviously." I laugh, leaning forward, getting on my fours as I got between Jack's legs. I push him down, my knees now on the outside of Jack's thighs as my hands were at his chest. I leaned down and kissed him, instantly biting down on his lip. Jack moaned, bringing his lips away from mine.

"I don't need a boner right now, get off." He says slightly panting and pushing me. I pout, getting off him, standing up and walking over to the counter to get my clipboard. I'm soon met with hands around my waist and a Jack Barakat's head on my shoulder. I grin, turning myself around and pushing the clipboard to his chest.

"How about you ask yourself these questions?"

~~~

Three hours later, and me and Jack are setting off to see Good Charlotte. First, we texted Jack's mum, where she happily agreed about the concert. Then I went to pick Jack up outside the shop we always met at. I then grab some food and drinks for the ride and concert, seeing as we'll be sweating.

And that leaves us to now, Jack asleep while I sing quietly to the radio. It's strange how as soon as Jack gets into my car, he falls asleep. I don't understand why, maybe it's what he does? Maybe it sends him to sleep? Like a lullaby? A car that sends you to sleep, I don't know, doesn't sound a thing that would work on Jack, but it clearly has.

I push the worry from my mind, deciding on asking Jack why he falls asleep in cars tomorrow. I turn the radio station on, almost screaming when Good Charlotte come on.

"W-What? We're h-here all re-" I heard Jack's voice jump alive suddenly. I took a quick glance at him to see a scared face as he looked at all the traffic around him.

"Nope, sorry. We'll get there soon." I smile to myself.

"O-Okay." Jack's voice came out small, and that's when I knew something was wrong. I wasn't interested in the song anymore, but worried about Jack.

"What's wrong?" I ask, turning the radio down a little, finally noticing how loud it was. There was silence for a couple of minutes, so I took another quick glance at Jack, finding his head against the window, looking down and playing with his fingers sadly. I frown, turning back to the road.

"I love you." I say truthfully to Jack.

"I-I love you too." Jack says sadly, then coughed to hide it. I frown again, becoming worried again.

"Seriously, Jack, what's wrong?" I ask with a sigh. He doesn't seem like himself. He's quiet and seems down. Jack's normally hyper and childish, even at his worse moments.

"Nothing, I'm just tired I guess." Jack's voice comes out shaky, but I decide to let it slip by me. I sigh to myself, telling myself that he'll tell me what's wrong when he wants to. I defiantly know he's not tired. I mean, he's been asleep in the car for twenty minutes. Okay, so maybe he is tired?

I stop myself from getting too worked up over it and let Jack fall back to sleep.

~~~

"Jack." I lean over, whispering in Jack's ear. He didn't seem to move, nor flinch. I smile down at him, finding him incredibly cute.

"JACK!" I yell loudly, shaking his shoulder. He bolts up with a breathy gasp, looking around with a tint of fear.

"Alex, where-"

"Good Charlotte, remember?" I cut him off, knowing exactly what he was gonna say. The fear in his eyes went as excitement took over it, a smile growing on his face.

"Let's go, go, go!" I yell enthusiastically, nudging Jack on the arm. He nudged me back, un-buckling his seatbelt, me doing the same. He reached over to me, kissing me on the cheek, before exiting the car. A tiny blush made it's way to my cheeks as I still felt his lips on my cheek. I like it how I blush at the fact Jack kissed my cheek and we've been dating for over three months. I know that Jack will never fail to make me go pink at the cheeks.

I get out the car, locking it, then walked up to Jack. I intertwined our fingers together, feeling the warmth of them cuddle mine. I smile down at our hands. We're holding hands in public, that's so- We're holding hands in public! Anyone can see us. Panic starts to feed on my insides. Wait, so what? He's nearly eighteen, it's only my job stopping us. Plus, I don't think anyone will know us here. I calm myself down as we walk to the massive line of people waiting to get in. I pull Jack to my side, wrapping my arm around his waist. He leaned into me as I kiss his forehead. I seriously cannot wait to get inside.

~~~

After chatting to some other Good Charlotte fans, them saying me and Jack were cute, we we're finally inside. The room was dark, and there was a lot of people inside, all at the front of the stage. Me and Jack were somewhere in the middle of the room, smiling over at each other. I leant down, pecking him on the lips before looking over at the stage excitedly, Jack doing the same. This is the first Good Charlotte concert I have attended, and I can tell already by the stage that this is going to be so fucking cool.

Twenty minutes later, an intro started to surround the room, and little gasps and screams could be heard. My heart kept leaping, and I looked over at Jack. He was looking over the stage, close to my side. We decided to be close together so we don't get lost, or dragged into a mini moshpit.

Suddenly, screams could be heard as Dean walked on stage and over to his drums. Then, the other members all entered the stage, waving at the crowd.

"Hello, Baltimore!" Joel shouts into the microphone, waving and doing a little dance. More screams could be heard, including Jack's. I laugh at his scream, before looking over to the stage again.

"I fell over earlier and hurt my foot, so that's why we're a bit late." Joel laughs, the screams never seeming to die down.

"Anyway, we're gonna make it up to you by playing a shit show, woo!" He laughs, and the guitar starts to fill the room. I kept in my screams, saving myself from embarrassment as they started to play their famous" I Just Wanna Live."

Me and Jack sing along to their songs, massive smiles on our faces as we have to best time of our life. I kept getting hit on the head by accident, but I ignored it,continuing to sing at the top of my lungs. But then, even good things have to come to an end.

"Thank you, Baltimore!" Joel screamed, throwing his bottle into the crowd, no doubt hitting someone on the head. I turned to face Jack. He was already looking at me, and I leaned down, catching his lips with mine. And I knew, I just knew that I was gonna be with him forever.
