The water is rusted, the air is unclean.
And there for a second I feel free
This is a wasteland, my only retreat.

"Alex, what are you-" Miss tried to ask, but Alex pushed her slightly, stepping right up to Jason's face. He's so sick and tired, so sick and tired with the way they treat people around here. It's time someone did something about it and be the bully's bully.

"Ew, don't try and kiss m-"

"Shh." Alex glared at Jason, looking at him right in the eye, their heads close.

"Go away, fa-"

"Shh." Alex smirked, his 'evil' face showing through. Jason looked at Alex in disgust.

"Get the fuck away from m-"

"Shh, shh, shh," Alex tilted his head, his mouth turning into Cheshire Cat's. Alex's eyes became black. His hazel colour thinly showing through. "No one wants to hear it." Alex tilted his head back up straight, now towering over Jason who was stuck in the corner. Jason looked up at Alex's eyes, becoming twice as angry.

"No one wants faggots like y-"

"Shhhhhhhhhhhh," Alex shh'ed, placing his finger at his lips to emphasise it. He then brought his hand across Jason's face, slapping him really hard. Jason's head turned to the direction where Alex's hand had guided him. Jason brought his fingers up to his cheek, inspecting the stinging feeling rising. Alex then spat on Jason's face, watching it hit just before his eye.

"Don't you ever talk about my brother or Jack like that again. You fucking hear me?!" Alex snapped, breathing deeply, but smiling sickly. Jason turned his head to Alex, wiping the spit off with the back of his hand while staring Alex right in the eye.

"They deserve it." Jason whispered evilly, his words gritted straight through his teeth. That's all it took to hear before Alex was bringing Jason up by his shirt, pushing him on the floor the next. Jason's head hit the class radiator with a thud. Alex smirked at the sound, loving every single bit of it. He then bent down crawling to Jason, sitting on his gut. Jason was coughing slightly by Alex being on his stomach. By now, the room had gone silent, students forming a circle around the two.

"Get off me you fat cun-"

"Shhhut the fucckk uppp!" Alex waved his hands in the end, his voice sounding girly for sarcasm. He let a big grin before bringing his knuckles to Jason's eye.

"Alex! Alex, get off him! Get off!" The teacher finally decided to break the fight, trying to grab Alex's arm. As she successfully grabbed his arm, Alex turned to face the teacher, a sick smirk following on.

"I want this." He whispered, turning his head to look at the shit scared look of Jason's face. He then collided his fist back to his face.

Jack was about to have a panic attack. He hated the shouting. It felt like being at home. It felt like everyone was about to kill him. He felt like screaming. Make it stop! Make it stop-

"Make it stop!" He ran his fingers through his hair, looking around. He stopped when his eyes met Alex's. He finally got to see into them. Alex's black eyes were filled with anger, and then suddenly they melted into guilt, surprise and horror. Jack looked around, his fingers still tangled in his hair. He met Alex's eyes again, this time a tear made it's way down Jack's cheek. Jack ran. Ran straight out the classroom, tears continuing to tremble down his cheeks.

"What have I done?" Alex breathed out in shock, his eyes now turning back to their normal colour.

"What am I doing?!" Alex screamed, looking around, his eyes widening as he saw everyone with terror spilt on their faces.

"Alex, calm down, come o-"

"No. Where's Jack? Where's Jack?! I need to find Jack!" He screamed again, getting off Jason and running out the classroom.

~~~

"Jack?! Alex called into the silent corridor.

"Jack, I'm sorry. I didn't...I didn't mean...to scare you." Alex whispered, tears pricking the back of his eyes. He shook his head, running to the end on the corridor. He got to the end of the corridor, turning left into the boy's bathroom where he remembered seeing Jack in his last state. He ran into the bathroom, instantly spotting the same stall that was locked. He remembered Jack being in that one when he was last upset.

"Jack?" Alex called out softly, walking to the stall and leaning on it. He placed his ear against the plastic, hearing some shuffling. He bit his lip. All he wanted to do was make sure that Jason never spoke a bad word to Jack again. But look where that got him. He wanted to help Jack. He knew Jack was hiding so much stuff that he wanted to tell him, but he hadn't trusted him enough. He defiantly won't trust me now. Alex let a tear slip before he quickly wiped it off, not wanting to seem weak.

"Jack...Jack, I know you're in there. I'm so sorry. I-I don't know what got into me, Jack. I-I just wanted so much revenge for what they did to you." Alex spoke, playing with the end of his shirt as he ducked his head down, letting his hair flop in his face.

"Why?" Jack spoke, wiping his tears as he opened the cubicle door. He looked up at Alex who had his head duck down, but when he heard Jack, he lifted it, looking at Jack right in the eyes properly. To say Alex was stunned would be an understatement. He was surprised at how beautiful Jack looked. His nose was a little too big, but it looked just right. His lips looked dry but oh how much Alex wanted to kiss them. Jack's eyes were Alex's favorite. They held so many things. So much sadness and-

"N-No, lift your head back up, Jack. Please." Alex pleaded. Alex thought Jack was absolutely beautiful and he didn't understand why he had hid his face from everyone. Jack was slow to do so, but he lifted his head up, his eyes meeting Alex's.

"I didn't know you were this beautiful." Alex winked. Jack blushed instantly, bringing his head down.

"Oh, sorry. Please lift your head back up." Alex pleased again. Jack let out a chuckle, not really caring if the blush was still on his cheeks. He looked up to Alex, eyes still glistened by the tears. Jack finally got to see Alex, and fuck, he didn't know his looks were attractive. This is the first time in years Jack has lifted his head up. He didn't know if he felt regret or happiness. He knew now that by lifting his head up to Alex, will only let him in.

"I'm really sorry, Jack." Alex finally spoke and dropped his stare from Jack. Jack bit his lip, feeling more tears in his eyes. Alex saw the tears from Jack eyes from the corner of his. Alex awkwardly walked closer to Jack before wrapping his arms around Jack. Jack stood frozen on the spot. He didn't like this, but at the same time he did. He didn't know what to do with his hands so he did what he thought you do, hugging Alex back.

"I didn't mean to scare you. I'm so fucking sorry. I just-I couldn't control myself. I wanted to do that to him. He deserved it. After everything he did to you, he deserved it." Alex whispered, squeezing Jack tighter. Jack sunk into Alex's words, re-thinking over every word. He couldn't believe Alex cared that much to actually punch someone and spit on them. All for him.

"I'm sorry, too."
