I need your love

"Oh god. Here he comes." Jack Barakat groaned, turning around to shove his head inside his locker.

"Who? Alex?" His friend, Rian Dawson, asked craning his neck in the direction Jack had been looking.

"Yep." Jack's voice came out of his locker/hiding spot, souding hollow. "Is he coming our way?" He questioned the older boy next to him.

Rian shook his head even though Jack couldn't see that. "No. Maybe. Yes." He answered with complete honestly. "Look, why don't you just tell him."

It was no secret that Jack was in with Alex. Everyone knew. Except of coarse Alex.

Jack and Alex had been friends for atleast two years. And Jack had been in love since. Why would he bother telling Alex anyway? Alex had girlfriend after girlfriend. Clearly he had no time or interest in him. Not the way Jack wanted anyway.

Besides, Jack had a girlfriend. Sasha. She was cute and alot of fun, but Jack had no feelings for her cause she didn't have a dick.

He was dating her for two reasons. Number one, she was a cover up. Jack didn't want everyone to know he was gay so he dated a girl. Number two, he thought it would get his mind off of Alex. But no, that wasn't going to going to happen. Everytime he would take Sasha out on a date, he wished she was Alex. When they kissed, he would just tell himslef it was Alex he was kissing. And when they pulled away, his heart would break when he saw Sasha not Alex standing infront of him.

He then started thinking about what Rian said. 'Why don't you just tell him?' "Because..." Jack whinrd, stamping his foot like a child. "I just..." He cut himself off hearing the voice of his best friend, Alex Gaskarth. "Uh.... Why is your head in there? Dick face." Alex asked, dlapping Jack in the back.

Jack didn't know how to answer, so he simply pulled back causingg Alex to move as well.

There was silence for a couple of mintues before Alex decided to brake it. "So tonight Zack's folks are going away." He announced. "You know what that means?" "Oh yeah!" Rian smiled nodding in approval. "Guys I don't know. I mean the last time we had a party there, Mrs. Merrick said she would kill us!" "Come on Barakat! Don't be such a pussy." Alex smirked hitting Jack on his arm playfully. "We'll neet at Zack's place around nine. Can your brother get us some booze?" "I'll talk to him." Jack replied, feeling unsure of this whole idea. "Great until tonight gentlmen." Alex nodded with a wave, before making his way down the hall to his next class.

Waving goodbye to Jack, Rian took off to his next class as well. Standing alone in the hallway of the school, Jack groaned and bangrf his locker shut. This was going to be a long afternoon.

----

The party was in full seing when Jack arrived. He saw a few familiar faces. Tgere was also alot of kids he didn't know too. Typical, aince Zack didn't attend the same school as his three friends. Wandering around, Jack soon found Zack and Rian in the kitchen and was told Alex was downstairs no doubt making out with some girl he just met. That image in Jack head wanted to make him throw up.

As the night wen't on, some kids started playing truth or dare. Jack figured he may as well join the drunken game.

Jack dazed off and was soon brought back to reality by someone saying hos name.

"Jack." A girl named angela said. "Truth or dare?" She said, her cold blue eyes staring into his soul.

Jack debated it for a minute. "Um....Dare." He answered bravley."Oh I have it!" The devious blonde giggled. "I dare yoo to go into the closet with..." She paused. "Alex and make out."

"Oh." Jack squeked, swallowing a large lump in his throat.

"Are you chiken?" Angela sneered. "No he's not." Alex said standing up.

Once they entered the closet, Jack dat down and took a drink of his beer. Alex laughed sitting beside his best friend.

"Fuck. Can you believe this?" Alex laughed taking a deink if his beer.

"Alex I really like you." Jack blurted out, hiding his head in his hands.

'Oh god' Jack thought. 'I'm goicng to throw up'. What if Alex hates him? What if he never spoke to jack agian? What if Alex just walked out and told the world he was gay?

"Uh... What?" Alex asked clearly confused.

"I really like you. I mean, like, like you." Jack replied in a hushed tone. "Jack," Alex whispered scooting closer to his friend. "Are you gay?"

"I don't know." Jack whispered.

"How long have you liked me?" Alex asked. Jack shook his head not wanting to answer.

"Answer me Jack." "A while. I've like you for a long time now. I just don't know."

What Alex did next took Jack completly off gaurd. Leaning in closer, Alex pulled Jack into a kiss. Jack could feel his heart rate go faster and his palms getting sweaty.

"I like you too Jack. I've liked you ever since we met. And I thought you hated me do I never said anything. And then everybody assumed I was some kind if a chick magnet so I went with it."

"Sou mean you're..." " Gay. Jack. I'm as gay as Rian's teeth are white." Alex laughed.

"So, could you do me a favour?" "Uh, sure." Jacj nodded with his reply.
"Would you dump Sasha and be my boyfriend instead?" Alex beamed.

"Of coarse."
