Jack and Alex walked into Zack's house, there was an instant smoke fog. Alex started coughing and Jack took a deep breath in.

"Damn Zack," He said to the boy on the couch holding a pipe, "You could get high off the air in here."

Zack laughed as the boy with shaggy hair took the pipe and the lighter from him. "That's the point Barakat."

Jack laughed at him, and took his shoes off. He smiled at Alex and took his sweatshirt off and flung it on the couch opposite Zack.

"Come on, let's get this thing started!!!" Rian yelled.

"Baby," Jack said as he looked at Alex. "Take off your shoes, we're probably gonna be here all night" He spoke as he put the pipe up to his mouth and flicked the lighter. Holding a deep breath in, he exhaled and blew the smoke onto Alex. "Sit down baby, maybe later we'll have sex on Zack's bed." Jack laughed and handed him the pipe.

"No thanks guys. I'm good. I know it's not what Dan did, but he did do drugs." Alex paused and thought back to once when he came home early and Daniel was on the couch in the living room with a needle in his arm, he was shooting something up, something Alex didn't know.

*************8
"AGAIN DANIEL WHY DO YOU DO THIS SHIT?!?!"

Alex was in eighth grade and Daniel was just about to graduate high school and he was throwing his life away already. Daniel had always been self destructive.

"ALEX YOU DON'T FUCKING UNDERSTAND WHAT HAPPENS INSIDE OF MY HEAD. YOU DON'T SEE AND HEAR THE SHIT I DO. EVERYTHING IS OKAY IN YOUR TWELVE YEAR OLD MIND. Alex you don't see mum and dad fight almost every night. You don't hear them throw things at each other. YOU MAY COME HOME TO SEE ME SHOOTING UP HERION, BUT YOU'VE NEVER COME HOME TO MUM SLEEPING WITH ANOTHER MAN." He knew that it was just his brothers trip that was making him say these things, but he didn't know what wasn't true or not.

"Dan that doesn't mean I don't know whats going on. I can't sleep most nights when you're not here. When I know that you could be out in an ally way trying to sell some of mums things to get more smack! You think I'm an idiot Daniel, but I'm not. I've noticed that things have went missing. Things that mum and dad took from England, but can't find now. You don't think I don't know where they go."

"Oh fuck off Alex. You don't know anything you pathtic imbocile."

*******************************

Those words still shook Alex to the bone.

"No thanks guys, I don't think I want to. Sorry." Alex shrugged his shoulder, and Jack moved by Alex on the other couch.

"It's okay to talk about it Lex. You know I will always be here to listen. Even if my brain is a million miles away. I'll force myself to earth to talk to you, but right now, I want a buritto." Ja ck wandered into the kitchen and found some left over Taco Bell in the fridge.

"DAMMIT MERRICK, YOU'VE GOT A FUCKING CHULUPA IN HERE BUT NOT A FUCKING BURITTO!!!!!!!!"

"Jacky, you said that would only happen once."

"Yeah, but I'm horny and you don't seem like you want to fuck, so maybe buritto?"

"I never said I wasn't in a mood to have sex. You always make me horny" Alex said flicking his tongue out at his love.
Jack looked at Zack smiled and asked.

"Where're the lube and condoms in your room bro?"

"Lubes under my body pillow, and Ri and I don't use condoms."

Jack looked at Alex and laughed awkwardly, "How bout it Lexy? Wanna be a little frisky?" Jack said with a wink and a smile.

Alex laughed and just started walking towards Zack's bedroom.
