Alex's P.o.V
I walked into school and immediately saw the boy, Jack, who had kicked my stomach in yesterday. He was walking towards me. Shit. Once he was in front of me, he looked a bit like he'd been crying. "Hey..." He said, voice shaky and wrecked. I backed off away from him, knowing this time he might kill me. I had dealt with people like this in my old school, and the best thing to do was stay the hell away from them. But he grabbed my wrist, keeping me still. I think I saw him wince? "Are you okay?" I said, voice shaking only slightly. I was worried about him, even though he'd beating the shit out of me yesterday. "Yeah." He said, but to quickly, like he though I'd realize something was wrong, even though I already had, and he looked really nervous. I looked down him, trying to find what was wrong, and I didn't have to look far. As soon as I reached his neck, the small part that was showing, I saw a blue-black mark on his skin. It looked like it was quite big, too, compared to the others that I could see on his wrists and hands. "Are those bruises?" I asked, voice now layered with worry for this boy. "No, I uh, don't know what your'e talking-" "are they bruises?" I interrupted him. "Uh-" He mumbled, maybe looking for an excuse, and then ran it the direction of the school, running behind it, and as far as I could see, a tear ran down his face as he dashed away from me. Only one thought ran through my head at that moment. 'Help him.'
I don't think anyone else knew, not even his closest friends, or, it didn't seem like it. If they did know they would be helping him, surely, and they didn't look to me like they were. I needed to know more about this boy. I felt like, even though he may not like me, I need to know him. I need to help him, no matter what he thinks or says about it. I want to be his friend, I want to help him, but for now I just needed him to let me in, Understand. I would need to be friends if I was going to help him, he needed to trust me. I sighed at all the thinking I was doing as the first bell went off, and walked into the horrible judging place they called school.
After school, I ran with Jenna towards the school gate, where Jack currently was. I had told Jen I wanted us to be friends with him, and she thought I was crazy, and that he'd fuck me up again. She knows he messed me up pretty bad yesterday, hence her backup. I thought 'this is gonna be so hard, he'll just brush us away' As we finally caught up to him, just leaving the gates. "Jack!" I yelled, and he turned and stared at me. "Uh...hey...I think that we got off the wrong way...I'm Alex.." I told him, hoping he could make out the words I was saying. "Yeah...Sorry about...That...By the way..." He mumbled. I was fast to reply. "It's okay. I was wondering...Do you want to be me and Jenna's...Friend? Cause...Well...I want to be your friend..." I trailed off at the end of my question, looking up at him. Jack nodded. I was surprised. I never though it would be that, well...easy. "Yeah, I meant to talk to you yesterday, but...yeah..." I got what he meant. So he never actually meant to beat me up..."Cool, want to come chill at my house?" I asked him, and he nodded his head really fast. "Yeah, sure." He rushed out. It seemed like something was wrong...I shrugged it off. He would tell me when he needed to, I wouldn't pressure him, it's not what a friend does. We started the short walk to my house.
He was actually really nice, when you got to know him. I learned a lot about him, and some of it kinda made me want to cry a bit. But he liked Green Day, and Blink, he said they distracted him from all his crap. How his brother and sister moved away, and how he only actually considered five people, including me and Jen, his actual friends, others just people who just wanted to get high with him. I was a bit touched, considering all, and if Jen was here, I'm sure she would be too. "Can I stay over? I don't want to deal with my family right now." He asked me simply. I felt a bit sorry for him. I tried lightening him up a bit, by yelling "Yeah sure. Woo! Slumber party!" and it worked, he laughed. "Thanks. It means a lot, friend." He replied, a smirk on his face, and I started putting blankets and a pillow on the ground for him.
