Trigger warning: mentions of self harm.

Alex's POV:

"Hey, Lexxy. Jack."

I pulled out of Jack and I's embrace, missing the contact instantly. I turned to look at the voice that interrupted our little moment. Mum.
"What are you doing here, Mum?"
My tone was clipped, showing how obviously pissed off I was at her. How dare she turn up at my graduation after so long? Does she think she can just turn up out of the blue like this and instantly make up with me? I don't think so.
"Well, I couldn't miss my Lexxy's graduation now, could I?"
"Well, yes, actually. You seemed to have missed every other moment in my life for the past few months, what difference would it have made?"
Jack wrapped his arm around my waist, pulling me into his side, letting me know that he was there for me but also letting my mother know that we were still together.
"Come on, Lexxy. I'm sorry for what I did."
"No, you're not. If you were, you would've talked to me sooner, you would've made more of an effort and you wouldn't be glaring at Jack out of the corner of your fucking eyes! Oh, and I'm not your 'Lexxy'."
"But- but I tried, Le-ALex. I just want you back. Please. I'm your mum."
"No you didn't. You don't want me back because you want your son back. You want me back so you can keep me away from my fucking boyfriend. And you're not my mum, not any more. You're just the woman who gave birth to me. A proper mum would support their child with every decision they made, they would go to the ends of the Earth to make sure their child is happy. You? You made everything worse. You tried to take away the only thing that makes me happy. And, I'm sorry, but I love Jack, with all my heart, and there is nothing you can do to break us apart."
I somehow had refrained from shouting in her face. My mu-no. Isobel stood in front of me, her face hard like a stone and her arms crossed over her chest.
"You're going to regret saying that, Alexander."
"Oh, so we're using my full name now, are we? I don't think I'll ever regret saying that. And if you don't mind, my boyfriend and I would like to go home."
I grabbed Jack's hand and pushed past the woman blocking mine and Jack's way.
"Your father never liked faggots, why do you think he left?"
I stopped dead in my tracks, tears began to prick at my eyes. It wasn't the fact that she said my father didn't like gay people, it was the fact that she called me a faggot. I guess she never did accept my sexuality then.
"Come on, Lex. She's not worth it, and she'll soon realise what a wonderful person she's lost."
Jack raised his voice towards the end of his sentence, making sure that she heard every single word. Jack wrapped his arm around my waist as we walked away.

Jack and I had been home for a few hours now. Since we got back, all we've done is lie on his bed, in silence with our fingers intertwined. It was a perfect moment. I kept thinking back to earlier though. I was proud of myself for standing up to Isobel. It felt good being able to get that out of my system. It felt good to finally stand up to her.
"I'm so fucking proud of you, Lex."
Jack broke the silence, turning his head to look at me.
"I'm proud of myself too...It felt really good."
I chuckled slightly, my cheeks heating up slightly for no apparent reason.
"Aww, my Lexxy is blushing."
"I'm yours, Jack, and only yours. I'll always be yours. Forever."
Jack replied by smashing his lips with mine, his hand quickly tangling itself in my hair.
"Forever, Lexxy."
Jack attached his lips to my neck this time, finding my sweet spot immediately. I moaned, already feeling my jeans grow tighter. I straddled Jack, grinding down on his bulge in his jeans, giving us both some much-needed friction. We continued like this for a while, Jack sucking on my neck whilst I ground down on him crotch. Moans filled the air around us. I was already covered in a thin layer of sweat and I could feel my hair sticking to my forehead. My jeans were growing tighter by the second. I needed Jack and I needed him now.

I moved my neck away from Jack's mouth and stared into his dark brown eyes- they truly were beautiful. Jack pouted when I stopped grinding down on him. I attached our lips once again, kissing his pout off his face."
"Jay...I'm ready."

Notes

Hi,
Ok so I'm pretty sure you can guess where the next chapter is going...
I'm sorry this is kind of short but it's whatever.

Thank you, as always.
