Alex POV:

When I closed the door behind me I slid down it until my knees were at my chest and my forehead rested on them. I waited until I heard the front door open then close. I felt tears begin to spill down my cheeks as I thought of how Jack must be feeling.

I didn't want to act this way towards him, but I had to. I knew I was scaring him, and maybe that was what needed to happen. I needed to put space between us. This text changes everything, even if I didn't want it to.

Jack POV:

I finally ran out of tears and pulled myself up to go to the bathroom. I stood in front of the mirror for what seemed like hours just staring at my red, puffy face and blood shot, swollen eyes. There was school tomorrow and I honestly didn’t want to go. I felt like I was going to be sick just thinking about it.

I sighed and looked at the time, 7:30. How did it get so late? I sighed again and changed into some Pj’s, folding Alex’s clothes up and placing them on top of my dresser. I went over and set my alarm. As I laid my head down on my pillow I couldn’t stop one last tear from slipped down my face. The darkness began to pull me in and only one thought came to mind before I was completely under. Tomorrow will not be a good day.
