Promise Me One More Time?
Reality
Jack's POV
Alex piled in the last few boxes into the trunk of the car and I sighed in relief. As I opened the passenger door, Alex hopped into the driver's seat after slamming the trunk closed. He reached across his seat and gave me a quick peck on the lips. It was impossible to not smile when I was with him.
As we backed out of the driveway, a felt a wave of relief wash over me. I wouldn't have to deal with constant beatings from my father anymore. I wouldn't have to live in the stench of alcohol all the time. I might actually feel like someone cares for once. I leaned my head against the car window as small raindrops began to fall.
"I love the rain." I mumbled more to myself than to Alex.
He glanced over at me and smiled that goofy smile he always had. I've missed that smile so much. I've missed his voice. I've missed his eyes. I've just missed everything about him. He's like my other half. I ran a hand through my raven and blonde bangs and tried to push those thoughts out of my head. I didn't want to fall hard for him again and then have my heart shattered.
Pulling into the driveway, I quickly hopped out of the car and ran to the trunk.
"Let's be as quick as possible. The rain is coming down pretty hard." Alex said as he trailed behind me.
"No shit!" I shouted with a roll of my eyes.
"Shut up, Barakitten."
"Nope." I giggled and stuck my tongue out at him.
Alex threw me his keys and I quickly went to unlock the front door. Walking into the house, I set the keys on the table in the dining room before hurrying back out to the car. Alex had managed to hold three boxes and I had no idea how he could see past them. I grabbed the remaining two and closed the trunk. As we hurried into the house, I smiled widely. It felt amazing having moments like these with him.
When we reached the front door, I let Alex in first and then closed the door behind myself. We both set the boxes down on the table and I moved over so I was behind Alex. I kissed him softly on the neck and wrapped my arms around his hips. He glanced over his shoulder at me and smiled.
"Can we cuddle? It's cold and the weather is perfect for cuddling." I asked, making my brown eyes widen like puppy dog eyes.
"How could I resist that face?" He said as we moved to the couch in the living room.
My eyes went to the collection of movies he had and he already knew what I was going to ask.
"Yes, we can watch Home Alone."
"Yay!" I shouted as I quickly ran over to put the movie in the dvd player.
"You're such a child." He mumbled with a roll of his eyes.
"Shut up. You know you love me."
"I do."
I jumped back onto the couch and adjusted myself so Alex's arms were wrapped around me. He always keeps me so warm. Alex kept kissing my neck and I just giggled softly. After about 20 minutes or so I felt myself getting a bit sleepy. Today had been quite tiring after all. After a few minutes my eyelids became heavy and I drifted off to sleep.
As I fell into a deep sleep, my I began to dream. I found myself at the bridge where Alex and I used to lay and look at stars. Alex was staring at me with a hard look and I sat up a bit.
"What's wrong?"
"Nothing."
"There's something wrong and you're going to tell me." I stated firmly.
His eyes darted around. He wouldn't keep his gaze on me.
"Well, uhm, I don't think we should be in a relationship anymore, Jack." His eyes were finally locked on mine and I felt tears beginning to fall.
"No! No!" I shouted as I snapped out of my dream. I had woken up Alex and he had a worried look on his face.
"What's wrong?' He asked in a soothing tone, brushing his fingers through my messy hair.
"I just had a nightmare." I told him before flashing a wide smile.
"Oh, okay. I love you. Try and get some sleep. We have school tomorrow."
I totally forgot about school. I was worried about what was going to happen. Was Alex going be be a fucking jerk to me again and just play along with his friends? Would he stand up for me? I laid back down and felt Alex's arms tighten around me.
"I'm scared." I whispered and Alex mumbled something inaudible as a response.
I don't want to go back. I can't go back. They're going to torment me. I can't risk losing Alex. I thought as I drifted back to sleep. I was terrified of what I would have to face tomorrow.
