It's Such A Shame That We Play Strangers

I looked at Alex in awe as we sat in Math today. He was explaining his understanding of the math equation to me and I couldn’t help but admire how cute he was being. The frustration which showed on his face because he didn’t quite understand it, made me smile uncontrollable.

Things in our relationship have been better than ever. I couldn’t keep him out of my thoughts. We had changed our room around, putting the two beds next to each other, somehow keeping the matress’s together so we had a bigger bed to sleep on. We had gone into town and brought ourselves a new blanket that covered both of us.

‘Jack? I seriously don’t get this. Can’t you just explain it to me now?’ Alex asked, making me chuckle a little.

‘Okay, look. You divide this with this and multiple this with the four and then you’ll get your answer.’ I explained. Alex looked up to me once I had finished and his kissed my cheek.

‘Thank you, handsome. I really wouldn’t be passing if it wasn’t for the last two months of no stop tutoring.’ Alex replied.

‘Well, sometimes, our tutoring turns into something else.’ I said, wriggling my eyebrows. Alex looked away and laughed, hitting my arm as he did.

‘Stop it.’ Alex said in a low whisper. His cheek turning a pinkish-red.

Before I got the chance to reply, my head was struck with a piece of scrunched up paper. I looked around the room with a glare. As I picked up the paper, I noticed writing on it.

‘how about you get a room you fucking faggots.’

The note read once I unfolded it. Alex saw the writing and sighed.

‘It isn’t the only one we got. I keep finding the notes in my locker. Look.’ He said as he pulled about three notes with insults, some even threats.

‘Who could be doing this?’ I asked, looking to Alex. He shrugged his shoulders and I frowned.

‘This isn’t fair, you know. We haven’t done anything wrong. I wish it would stop.’ Alex said, worrying in his voice. I put my arm around his shoulders and pulled him closer.

‘it’ll stop. I promise.’ I said. I looked around the room to see everyone packing up their things. I quickly pecked his lips before pulling my away and start to pack away my things.

As Alex and I walked to our dorm room, we kept seeing people staring at us. Some were laughing, some were giving us a really bad look. Like we were the spurn of Satan.

We reached our room, and what was on the door, broke my heart. I looked to Alex who had tears falling already. I couldn’t believe it. Words were scratched onto the door, insults, threats. I grabbed Alex’s hand and pushed the door open, once Alex was pulled inside, I slammed the door shut and locked it.

‘I can’t believe it.’ I yelled as I threw my bag upon the bed.

‘Why is this happening?’ Alex asked. He was still standing in the middle of the room, tears rolling down his face in a faster rate. He hugged his stomach and chest. I walked over to him, taking his bag off his shoulders before moving him to our bed. I threw my bag off before I sat us both down.

I brought him into my chest and shushed him, saying sweet little nothing into his ear, hoping to calm the crying boy down. His breathing was getting faster and it sounded like he was gasping for air.

*Alex’s P.O.V*

I was in Jack’s arms, listening to his words. It was calming me down a bit before my mind took over his words. My breathing was getting so much faster and I knew exactly what was happening.

I could feel myself shaking. I gripped onto Jack, hoping it would stop me but it just made Jack shake, it was that bad. My breathing was becoming rapid; I was gasping for air. My vision was blurry because of the tears but the next minute, I was seeing black spots, knowing exactly what that meant, made me freak out a little more. Jack’s words were a background noise, keeping me there for a little while. Until my vision turned black and my body went weak.

I blinked, groaned and moved as I woke up. I looked around to see that I was still in my room. I looked down to see a pair of arms around my waist as we laid there, I looked up to see Jack, looking at me with a small smile place upon his lips.

‘Hey, how are you feeling?’ Jack asked.

‘I feel sore. My body hurts.’ I replied, snuggling into Jack more.

‘After you passed out, you fell to the floor, I caught you in time so your head didn’t hit the floor but your tailbone may ache a bit.’ He replied.

‘I am sorry.’ I said.

‘It isn’t the first time. I think they are starting to get worse though Alex. I think maybe you should see the school counsellor.’ Jack admitted.

‘I don’t think I do. I am fine.’ I replied quickly.

‘I just want you to be okay.’ Jack replied. I nodded.

‘I will be. I think I need to sleep. I feel really tired.’ I said, moving so I could lie on the bed. Jack, on the other hand, got up and walked to his drawers.

‘Well, I will be back after I have a quick shower. If you aren’t asleep before I get back, I will come cuddle. But if you are, I might do some homework.’ Jack said as he got his things for the shower.

‘Night Jacky.’ I said as he walked over to me with all his shower gear.

‘Night babe.’ Jack said before kissing my forehead. I looked up at him with a smile and watched as he walked out the room. I rolled to my back and stared at the roof. I don’t want to be at this school anymore.

Maybe moving might be an option…
