Dirty Work

"Alex?" I heard Jacks voice from beside me and opened my eyes barely enough to see his form in the darkness of my room.

"Jack? What's happening?" I mumbled, rubbing at my eyes and sitting up in my bed.

"Rian called and said that something was happening at my company. I need to get there as soon as possible. I wanted to wake you and tell you so that you wouldn't think I just left. I'll leave the money on your nightstand." He rushed out, I barely had time to think about his words before he was opening my door and closing it.

I stumbled my way out my bed, quickly pulling clothes on, not caring if they were clean or dirty. Rushing out of my room and racing down the stairs that entered into the club. I saw Jacks form exit through the front doors and I raced after him.

The night air was cool and cut through me like a knife. I cursed, still running after Jack who had hailed a taxi and was about to get in.

"Jack!" I yelled, causing him to stop and look at me.

"Alex? What are you doing? You're gonna freeze out here!" Jack exclaimed.

"I don't care. I wanna come with you." I said, seeing his eyes widen in surprise.

"Why?" Jack asked.

I opened my mouth to reply but couldn't think of one decent enough. He just stared at me awaiting an answer that I couldn't give him. Not at the moment. Finally he sighed and stepped away from the taxi, motioning me to get inside.

I did so eagerly, no longer wanting to spend another second in the freezing weather, mentally cursing at myself for not grabbing a jacket on the way out.

Nice move, Gaskarth. Get sick. I rolled my eyes at myself and moved closer to Jack once he got in the taxi, allowing myself to curl into a ball into his side.

He chuckled, wrapping an arm around me and pulling me closer. "You want my jacket, love?"

I almost awed at the nickname he gave me, instead settling for shaking my head. "But then you'll be cold."

"You're cute." He kissed my nose. "But seriously, take it. I have a hoodie in my office that I can grab once we arrive at my company."

I nodded, allowing him to remove his leather jacket and wrap it around my shoulders. I snuggled into it, enveloping his scent and snuggled even closer to him.

It felt like an eternity passed before we were pulling up outside of Jack's company. Wow. It was big. (A/N THAT'S WHAT SHE SAID!! *wipes tear from eye* I'm so funny. Kay, back to the story.)

Before I had time to even embrace the absolute size of Jacks company, he was rushing out of the taxi, tossing a wad of cash up towards the cabi.

I chased after him, seeing police men and lights flashing. There was an officer to my left and I saw Jack with him, walking up to them I paused as I caught a part of their conversation that no one ever wants to hear.

"They were after what?!" Jack exclaimed.

"They left a note saying that you were lucky you were with your whore instead of being at work." The officer said, gulping.

"Shit." I heard Jack mumble.

That's right. Jack had left early to come and see me. Holy shit.

No.

This isn't happening.

T-they were gonna kill you?" My lips trembled as I spoke, catching the attention of both Jack and the officer.

"Alex... it's not that bad. I promise you." Jack said, approaching me and wrapping his arms around me.

I tried to hold back my tears but when the thought of finding Jack possibly dead entered my mind, I let loose a sob so loud that I was sure I heard Jacks heart break from where my head rested on his chest.

*Jacks POV*

I held Alex as he sobbed into my shirt, watching as the officers glanced over to us as they continued their investigation. The officer I had been talking to earlier had told me that the intruders who had somehow gotten into my company, had been sent to kill me. It broke my heart when I saw Alex's face when he heard that news.

Like he blamed himself for it.

But, in all honesty, this man, the one with blonde hair, clutching on to me like there was no tomorrow, the one who's heart was broken at the thought of me being dead. This man, is the reason why I'm still alive...
