Jack POV:

I got up slowly, dreading going to school and seeing Alex, when normally I would be happy. He never texted me like he said he would. Figures. I got ready and started my walk towards school, Alex normally would have picked me up, but he wasn't here today. It’s happening again, please not let it happen again, not with Alex. I walked into the school building and headed towards my locker, people continued to talk and laugh, they didn't even seem to notice me.

“Jack!” I looked up and saw Rian and Zack.

I smiled and gave them a small wave back. They started walking towards me but then stopped quickly, looking confused. Right then I was grabbed and thrown back against the lockers, the hallway went quiet.

“Alex? What the hell man?!” I heard Zack shout and I opened my eyes. I saw Alex with Jeremy by his side, they were both glaring at me. Alex leaned forward and whispered in my ear.

“If you ever tell anyone what happened this weekend, I’ll kill you. Don't talk to me ever again.” Then he shoved me again before turning and walking away with a laughing Jeremy by his side. Rian shot towards me and knelt on the ground where I had sunk to when the crowd started to move away.

“What the hell is up with him? Why is he hanging out with Jeremy?” Zack asked as he helped me up.

“Are you okay Jack? I don’t know what’s gotten into him, I thought he hated Jeremy.” Rain said, looking confused.

I felt tears start to slip out. Both boys looked shocked at me and I ran, shooting down the hall and into the bathroom where I sat and sobbed. I sat in the stall until I heard the lunch bell go off, I hadn't even realized I had been in here that long. I wiped my eyes and went out, looking at myself in the mirror.

Yep, can definitely tell I was just crying.

I sighed and went out into the hallway, keeping my head down as I walked out of the school. I really didn't want to stay here, and I was lucky my mom was at work until 7 tonight. I just wanted to know one thing, what did I do?

Alex POV:

I was walking with Jeremy, keeping my head down as we went to lunch and sat down at his table. People shot me confused looks but I tried not to respond to them. I felt his arm snake around my shoulders and I wanted to punch him, for more than one reason.

“Hey, don’t worry about him. You did what needed to be done, right?” He laughed and I swear I just bent my fork. Right then a hand slammed down on the table, making me jump. I looked up and saw a really, and I mean REALLY, pissed off Zack. Rian was standing next to him, looking less mad and almost more confused and hurt.

“What. The. Living. Fuck. Alex? Why the hell are you with him?” Zack said, motioning to Jeremy.

“What? We are good friends now. Right Alex?” Jeremy said.

“I didn't ask you McKinnon! I asked Alex.” Zack looked back at me and I made all my emotions leave my face, I was pretty good at that.

“Nope, what he said was all true. We are friends now, I finally realized hanging out with you guys wasn't doing me any good.” I said simply and shrugged.

“Wow, and I thought you were our friend. I thought you were Jack’s friend!”

“Yeah? Well you thought wrong!”

“Obviously! Considering he left looking like someone just lit a new born puppy on fire in front of him! You were his first friend here Alex! I hope you feel proud of yourself.” Zack shook his head, turned, then walked away. Rian watched me for a couple more seconds, looking sad.

“He started to cry Alex, you really hurt him.” He said before turning and following Zack out. Jeremy began to laugh and make fun of Jack, but I couldn't hear him. I felt like I was going to be sick.

This is just the beginning.
