~Jack's POV~

We walked out of the giant building, Lex's hand intertwined with mine, and I had a huge grin on my face. Alex has just had his first therapy session, and it went really well. I was so proud of him. He had a little smile on his face, and he looked adorable. He answered all the questions that his new therapist, Danny, had asked, and he didn't hold back on talking about his feelings. It hurt me to hear him say some of the things he said; I didn't know he felt that sad and low. But hey, the first step to recovery is talking about your problems, isn't it?

"Lex, I'm so proud of you. Well done. I don't think you would have gotten so far in your first session!" I gave his hand a squeeze, my smile growing bigger every second.

"I know. I don't know why I was so nervous. Danny seems like a really nice guy, and it just felt natural to talk to him. I'm proud that I did what I did today. And I can't thank you enough for being here with me." Alex leaned in to give me a gentle kiss.

My phone vibrated from my butt pocket, and I reluctantly pulled away from Alex to see who my text was from.

"Hey, Rian's just texted me. He wants to know if we want to go round to his place? Everyone's having a bit of a get together."

"Yeah, that sounds good. Do you want to go?" Alex looked at me.

"I'll do whatever you want to do, princess." I craned my neck down so Alex and I could connect our lips once more, and then we made our way to Rian's house.

We only had to ring the bell twice before Cass answered, invited us in almost immediately. Rian had a nice house, it was average size and very pretty. His mom and dad were really nice too. I'd only met them once, but they were very welcoming. We followed Cass downstairs to the basement, or as Rian liked to call it, 'his man cave'.

"Hey guys!" I ran down the stairs, jumping onto Zack, and everyone laughed. Alex and I had became pretty good friends with Zack since he helped me save Alex, and we now had this weird brotherly bond. We greeted everyone, and then I took a seat on the couch next to Rian and Cass. Alex sat on my knee and snuggled into my chest, and I rubbed his thigh soothingly as conversation started up between all of us.
Cass had brought her friend, Hannah, who had came with her boyfriend, Oli. Hannah was really pretty and quite small, and Oli was a little bit taller and had some sort of accent, but I wasn't sure where it was from. They were really nice people, and it was a shame that they didn't go to Dulaney High.

"So, Oli, where are you from? You have a super cool accent." I asked.

"I'm from Sheffield, in Britain. I moved over here when I was 15, so I guess my accent has just stuck."

"Oh my god you're British?!" I practically screamed. I had never met a British person before, but to be honest, I don't even know why I was that excited.

"Yeah, and you're American?" He asked, trying to act smart.

"Eh, nearly there, I'm Lebanese." I laughed awkwardly.

"That explains all the hair." Rian chimed in, and I smacked him.

"Shut up, Mr Potato Head."

"Hey, here's a fun fact for you all." Alex spoke up. "I'm British." He said simply, and everyone looked at him, a look of awe on everyone's faces.

"WHAT?" I screamed.

"I was born in Britain, my parents moved over here when I was 7 so I've kinda lost my acce-" I stopped Alex from talking by pushing my lips forcefully onto his. I stood up, still carrying him, and spun around.

"THIS IS SO COOL! HEY GUYS, I BET YOU'RE ALL JEALOUS BECAUSE MY BOYFRIENDS BRITISH!" I was jumping up and down with him still in my arms.

"My boyfriends cute and British too." Hannah said, giving Oli a kiss.

"Shh, Hannah, you're ruining the moment." She laughed and I continued speaking. "When we get home I'm going to bake you scones and WE CAN HAVE AFTERNOON TEA!" I squealed, probably getting more excited than I should.

"Jack, calm down, it's just a country. And I don't even like scones." Alex said.

"I'm still baking them. We're buying ingredients on the way home. I grinned widely, and Alex smiled back.

"You guys are adorable." Vic commented. "You should have told us, Alex, it is pretty cool."

"I never thought you guys would really need to know."Alex laughed, and we soon went back to normal conversation.




A few beers later, me and Alex decided to head home. Luckily, the shops were still open so we could buy ingredients. We got everything we needed, and I brought this really cute teapot too.

"This is so stereotypical, Jay. Why does everyone associate tea with Britain?" Alex was putting the scones into the oven and I snaked my hands around his waist. I just giggled at his question.

"Come on, let's go and snuggle. Today has been perfect, you know. And I know I keep saying it, but I am so proud of you." I kissed his forehead and dragged him to the couch.

"I'm proud of me too. Thank you again Jack, for everything." Alex sat on my lap and we rested our foreheads against each other's, our noses nuzzling together, as we waited for the scones to bake.
