Maybe Next May

Alex POV:

As I walked out of Jacks house I couldn't stop myself from thinking about what we had just said to each other. Why do I care so much about him? What if he thinks I walked out because he's gay? Why do I feel like crying? These questions all made me want to rip my hair out. Why was this one boy making me think about all of this? It's not like I should care this much about him, yet, I do. But why?

I sighed as I drove home. When I pulled in I saw Lisa's car sitting in the driveway and couldn't help the groan of annoyance that came from my mouth. Since we started dating Lisa has just pissed me off. Wonder why I didn't defend her when Jack said all those thing about her? It's because they were all true. Lisa cheats on me, she yells at me, tells me what to do, who to hang out with, and if I don't do those things..... let's just say neither of us is a happy camper.

I sometimes wonder why we don't just break up. I mean she cheats on me, we fight all the time, so what is keeping us together? Probably the fact that she is in control of my popularity. I know, I sound way self centered but I don't want to become one of Heath's punching bags. That's exactly what will happen if I break up with her. I got out and went up to the door, right when I opened it I heard her voice, it made me want to puke with how fake she sounded.

"Oh Lexy! Could you come up to your room, I want to talk to you!"

When I got up there I saw her sitting on my bed, when she stood up her annoyingly red and too high, high heels made her almost the same height as me. She wobbled over to me and rested her hand on my shoulder before forcing me into a kiss. When we pulled away she smirked and went back over to the bed, motioning for me to sit down. Wow, and I thought this was my room and my house, guess I thought wrong.

"So, I was thinking about that Jack kid. I don't want you to be around him. The way he looks at you pisses me off. It's like he has some gross gay crush on you and he needs to be taught that you're mine. Understand? Don't go near him."

I wanted to yell at her to stop being such a bitch, but did I do that? Nope, I just sighed then nodded as she smirked and got up. She kissed me on the cheek one more time before leaving my room then my house. I looked out my window and watched as she drove away. Thank god.

I groaned and flopped back into my bed. I pulled out my phone and put on some music to listen to until my mom came home from work. I looked over at my wall and saw the picture Jack had drawn. He had been in such a hurry to get away from me that day that he had forgotten it in my car. I remember as I had been driving home how cute he had looked when he was annoyed, then gotten angry at myself for thinking like that.

I know I was being an ass to him and I honestly hated seeing him getting the shit beaten out of himself everyday. I knew I could do something but I was just too scared and I hated myself for it. Tomorrow I was going to talk to Jack at lunch, in front of eveyone, and invite him over to hang out. I don't care what Lisa or Heath think. I'm going to make it up to him, I'm going to show him the real Alex. No matter how much it scares me to do so.

Notes

Here's another one for you! I wonder if Alex is really going to go through with it, and if he does, will Jack accept? I felt like we needed to see Alex's side of everything. It will normally always be Jack's POV unless otherwise posted. Thank you for your comments, I love reading them! Over 1,000 views! Holy crap! 41 subscribers, I'm so happy thank you SO much!
