My Only One (Jalex)

Jack's POV:

Life in general had been pretty good to me. Leaving the parts involving my abusive father out, my life had been great. I had a house, a family, we weren't in poverty, we had money, we were generally happy and I'd finally found someone who I could trust and love. It felt good and I was on a high as of right now.

Alex had prepared a lovely dinner for me to celebrate our six month anniversary and our evening had been absolutely perfect. Exam season was coming up in just a few weeks so I was making the most of the relaxed time I had left by practically living with Alex. Neither of us minded though because we were both hopelessly in love, well, I was anyway but I'm sure Alex was too. We'd finished our meals and were were now lying on Alex's sofa, exchanging lazy kisses. Alex shifted so he was on top of me, his dominant side showing like it always did when it came to sexual things. We'd done our fair share of sexual activities but we'd never gone all the way. We'd talked about it but both of us just weren't ready for that kind of thing and, besides, regardless of Alex being my teacher, I was still only seventeen. We'd both agreed that we would wait until I was eighteen until we took each other's virginity. Yeah, that's right. We're both virgins. Well, not exactly. I'd had sex before but it was always with girls. Alex, too, had had sex but it was only once at a college party and he'd bottomed anyway. So, technically, we were both virgins because, with Alex being the dominant one, would definitely be the one fucking me. I didn't mind that though: I'd always wanted to know what it felt like and I just felt like that was the way that it should be in our relationship.

Our lazy kisses had soon developed into a very heated make out session. Alex was repeatedly rolling his hips down on mine, creating just the perfect amount of friction in my jeans. Our kisses had become needy and full of lust and passion.
"Fuck, Jay...I could just fuck you right now."
"Do it then. Fuck age. I don't care, Lex. I want you, all of you."
"Jay...I'm not sure...Don't get me wrong, I want to but, it's ju-"
I cut him off with my lips on his, my tongue snaking into his mouth to battle with his own.
"You talk to much. Just fuck me, Lex. I need you inside me."
Alex smirked at me before smashing his lips to mine again, our front teeth clicking together slightly. Alex fumbled with the buckle on my belt, trying to undo it whilst kissing me. I heard the buckle loosen and I soon felt tugging on my waistband of my jeans before they, too, loosened off my body, my throbbing erection feeling better for having a little more freedom. My hands made their way to the hem of Alex's shirt. I tugged it over his head and flung it over the back of the sofa. My hands immediately started to roam his chest, my fingers grazing over his nipples, making Alex moan from above me. My shirt soon joined Alex's on the floor, both of us now slowing getting naked. My hands then started to undo the button on Alex's jeans, I silently thanked him for not wearing a belt, resulting me making light work of the task. I tugged his jeans down so they were down to his upper thighs.

My phone started ringing in my jeans pocket, Feeling This by Blink-182 blaring out of the small speakers.
"Ignore it. Sex is more important."
Alex and I continued to undress each other as the phone rang out, both of us ignore whoever it was calling me at such an unfortunate time. Alex kicked his jeans off the rest of his legs, leaving him in just his boxers. My hand went straight to his erection, my index finger slowing tracing his member. Alex moaned, at the touch, biting down on my bottom lip in the process. Alex started to tug my jeans off, pulling at them from just above the knee. My phone slid out of my pocket as the material slackened. My jeans, too, lay discarded on the floor in a heap. Alex started to trace random patterns on the inside of my thighs with his finger tips, making me shiver from below him.
"I love seeing you like this, Jay. You look so blissed out."
I only hummed in response, being too 'blissed out', as Alex put it. My phone started ringing again next to me, both Alex and I groaned together in annoyance.
"Ignore it, they'll get the messa-"
"Jay, I'm guessing May Barakat is your sister?"
My eyes shot open, my head snapping up, almost nutting Alex on the forehead.
"Y-yeah. I'm sorry, Lex. She only calls if it's an emergency. I've got to answer this."
I saw a flash of disappointment flash across Alex's eyes, but he sat back and allowed me to take the call nonetheless.
"May? What's up? I'm kind of busy right now."
"Jack, you need to get to the hospital right now!"
May seemed frantic, her speech so fast that it became almost impossible to understand. I sat up even more on the sofa, Alex's expression grew worried.
"Why? What's gone on?"
"It's mom, Jack! He did it! That fucking monster did it!"
"Did what, May? You're not making any sense!"
"He fucking hit her, raped her then h-he...she's in surgery because of him, Jack! P-please, just come."
I felt a pang of panic in my chest, my eyes immediately started to fill with tears, my vision growing clouded. Alex jumped up off of me and collected our clothes, throwing a shirt and my jeans at me.
"Okay, I'm on my way. I won't be long."
"Thanks, Jack. Please hurry."
"I will. Wait, which Hospital?"
"The one near the airport, I don't know the name of it."
"Fuck, that's over an hour away. I'll be there as soon as I can, May. Hold in there, okay?"
"Thanks, Jack. I love you."
"I love you too."
I hung up, throwing on the clothes that Alex threw at me a few seconds ago.
"Come on, Jay. I'll take you."
"But what if anyone sees us?"
"Jay, the hospital she's in is miles away, it's not even in town. It'll be fine, trust me."
"Okay, thanks."
Alex and I quickly locked up the house and ran out to his car. We sped off towards the hospital, the air filled with worry and concern."

-

We arrived at the hospital fifty minutes later, the lack of traffic and a short cut making the journey shorter. Alex pulled into the nearest parking space before we both sprinted through the drizzle and into the reception of the hospital. I ran jogged up to the tired looking receptionist, panting slightly.
"Can you tell me which room Joyce Barakat is in please?"
"Only family members are allowed to visit, sir."
"I'm her fucking son! Tell me what room she's in!"
"I need proof that you're her son, sir. I can't just let two random guys into a sick person's room."
"You've got to be fucking kidding me, right?"
"Sorry, sir. It's the hospital's rules."
"Fuck sake."
I turned to Alex with tears running down my face.
"My wallet's at your place, I don't have any I.D on me. What do I do?"
"Call May. She can come down and confirm it."
"Thanks, Lex. I don't know where I'd be without you."
I pulled me phone out of my pocket and dialled May's number. She picked up on the second ring.
"Jack, where are you?"
"At reception, the stupid bitch won't let me in without I.D and my wallet's at Alex's."
"Who's Alex?"
"Doesn't matter right now, we'll explain when we get up there. Can you come down at get us?"
"Yeah, sure. I'll be down in a second."
I hung up and shoved the phone into my back pocket. It then dawned on me that my mom was in this very hospital, potentially fighting for her life. That's when the sobs tore though my body. I fell into Alex's arms, crying into his chest as he rocked us gently, whispering nothing in particular in my ear.

-

"I'm going to fucking kill him!"
"Jack, calm down, that won't help anything."
"He fucking raped her and then threw her down the stairs! My fucking father!"
"Jack, calm the fuck down, you'll wake mom up."
"Don't tell me what to fucking do, May! All I want right now is Alex but they won't let him in here because he's not family! No one can calm me down but h-him!"
"He'll be back, he's just gone to get coffee and then he'll sneak in. What's going on between you two anyway? And don't bullshit me because you're a shit liar."
"Um, he's my boyfriend and has been for six months today, actually."
"He's a little old, don't you think?"
"No, not at all. He's only 24."
"Jack! That's like eight years!"
"Seven, actually."
"Still! That's illegal, you do know that?"
"Of course I do, I'm not stupid!"
"Maybe not but he is! He could go to jail because of this!"
"We know but do you think we'd risk anything if it meant nothing? I love him, May! He's made me happy again. You know how I used to be, May. I used to tell you everything but, no offence to you, it didn't make a difference. He completes me. He's made me see the positives in life and it's beautiful. He's led me out of the dark and into the light again. May, please, I am begging you! Please don't tell anyone. I'll be eighteen in a few months, it'll all be legal then! Please, for me?"
Ok, so maybe I twisted the truth a little but I couldn't just drop the whole 'he's my teacher' bomb on her too.
"Fine. But, I swear to God, if he lays on finger on you, I will kick his ass so fucking hard he won't be able to walk for a month!"
I ran over to May and threw my arms around her, repeatedly thanking her.
"Don't worry, May. I won't hurt Jack. I love him too much. Thank you for keeping this quiet."
I pulled away from May and turned to see Alex stood in the doorway, leaning on the door frame with a drinks holder with three cups in.
"Good. No one hurts my little brother."
"I wouldn't dream of it."

It'd been a few more hours and my mom had just been brought back into the room from surgery. Only then did I see how badly she had been beaten. Her right eye was purple and significantly more swollen than her left. She had a cut on her right bottom lips and her nose looked crooked. Her neck had hand-shaped bruises on it, obviously from where my father had held her down. He left arm was in a cast and she had multiple lines going in and out of her body. A doctor came in shortly after, carrying a clipboard of papers.
"I'm sorry, it's only two visitors to a room."
"No, he stays. Please, doctor."
"Okay, fine. But no one else, okay?"
"Thank you."
"No problem, young man. Right, so about Mrs Barakat. Along with all the injuries you can see, her right lung had been punctured by a broken rib and she's also suffered a little internal bleeding. We've stopped the bleeding though and we've managed to repair her lung. We've done scans and there doesn't appear to be any damage to her brain but we won't know for sure until she wakes up. We'll assess her once she wakes from the anaesthesia and then we'll take it from there. Although, I've got to say, we did almost lose her once in surgery but she pulled through pretty much on her own. She's strong, I can tell. I'll leave you to it for now and call as soon as she wakes in between now and when I do my rounds."
"Th-thank you."
"My pleasure. I'm truly sorry for what's happened. We've had to contact the police because we believe that this is from domestic abuse so they'll be here in the morning. Hopefully, you can make statements if you know of anything."
"We will do. Thanks again."
"No worries, Miss. Oh, one more thing. Keep talking to her, it normally helps bring people round quicker."
The doctor left without another word, leaving the room in total silence. I was sat on Alex's knee with his arms snaked around my middle, his thumbs rubbing circles into my hip bones. It was only in that silence that my mind processed what the doctor had said.
"we did almost lose her"
She could've died! She was dying! I broke down, tears rolling from my eyes like water falling from a waterfall. Sobs racked my body as I cried for yet another time today. Alex held me tight, rubbing his hands on my back. I fell asleep in Alex's arms with a tear stained face and hopes of my mom pulling through running through my mind.
