We're All Six Feet Under The Stars

On the walk home from school, I took the long way home, not wanting to see my mom any longer than I had to. As I was walking past some old abandoned buildings, I paused a moment and sat down on some steps to think. Putting my headphones in and blasting some Yellowcard, the thought of Jack popped into my head. As I was daydreaming, I didn't notice the five guys walking over to me. I looked up to what seemed to be one of the toughest guys in our grade.

"Hey faggot." he said, gripping my shirt and picking me up by it. "Uhm, hey. Can I help you guys...?" I asked. "Yeah. Wanna fuck us?" He teased, bending me over and ripping off my shirt as he pretended to hump me. I looked over and noticed one of the guys filming it. "Yeah you like it rough?" He yelled as he began punching me and scratching me, as I looked at another guy who was holding a knife. I panicked as I began to fight it a bit, squirming and slapping him, attempting to run away, when he grabbed my neck and threw me up against the side of the building. I saw his free hand reach back as the other guy handed him the knife.

It was as if the whole world slowed down. His hand slipping the knife up to my neck as he pressed the blade into it, letting some blood flow out. The other two guys that had been watching digging in my pants for my new phone and my wallet. With credit cards and driver's license, as well as $200. Once they got what they wanted, they punched me a few more times in the gut and face, then slit on my stomach before running away with my stuff, leaving me to fall down and bleed until I die.

"Alex! Are you okay?!" I woke up to someone screaming as he quickly bandaged me up. "Alex! Wake up Alex!" I opened my eyes a bit and could see a familiar mohawk. "Jack? Is that you?" "Yes Alex thank god you're alive!" I felt his arms wrap around me and I hugged him back. Did I have a crush on Jack Barakat?

The hug seemed to last forever, but I was perfectly fine with it. When we finally pulled away from the hug, we rested our foreheads together. "Thank you Jack. So much." Then, I didn't know what came over me, but I leaned forward and kissed him softly.

When I pulled away, Jack opened his eyes wide and his adorable smile formed on his face. "What are you looking at dork?" I said jokingly. "One of the cutest guys in the world..." he replied. I smiled wide at him. "Alex, we should probably go and try to find Jasey. You know. So you can dump her cheating ass." I nodded as I got up with his help, smiling through the sharp pains from being beaten up. "Here." Jack said as he took off his sweatshirt and put it on me. "I don't want you to be picked on because of your bruises and cuts and scars." he said as he zipped up the sweatshirt and slid up one of the sleeves, revealing my scarred up wrist. Next, I nearly passed out when his soft lips pressed against my skin, kissing every scar of mine. "Jack, you're amazing. Thank you." I said as we began to walk to the park, the common place for Jasey Rae to spend her time.
