It's Such A Shame That We Play Strangers

I walked back to my room in a rush, avoiding Zack and Rian as I saw them walking down the hall, I got to my room and opened the door, slamming it shut. I paced around the room and walked to my desk. I sat down and run my hands through my hair, groaning with frustration.

One second later, I had pushed all of the stuff on my desk, onto the floor. I pushed the chair away as I stood up again and walked for the wall, where I had pulled my arm back in anger. I was about to punch the wall with full force before I dropped to the floor. I cried into my hands as I turned around and placed my back up against the wall.

I heard the door open a second later and Alex walk in. He looked over to the desk and followed the trail of mess before his eyes met with mine. His sleeves were over his hands as he rubbed his fingers along his palms. I frowned at him as he started walking towards me.
‘Don’t come near me Alex.’ I spoke, my voice feeling dark.

‘Jack, please, let me explain.’ Alex said as he sat on the floor across from me. I rolled my eyes and looked away.

‘Let you explain? I don’t want to hear what you have to say. You promised me that you weren’t going to hurt me if we got into a relationship again. I trusted you, so much and now, look what you have done. You are leaving me, you said you wouldn’t and look at this, look at what you are doing to me Alex. Look!’ I yelled, looking back at Alex, who had his hands over his face.
It was quiet for a while, we just sat there, glaring at each other after Alex removed his hands. I think we were both thinking of what to say, ways to not hurt each other.

‘You know Jack… this isn’t fair. This has been very hard on my too. I first came here because of what happened to Sophie. My mother was scared because I was acting out and things in my days back then were terrible for me. I didn’t come here to feel like that the entire world hates me. I figured out who I was though, which is a plus side. I’m hurting too Jack; this isn’t all about you. It’s not all about you all the damn time Jack. Other people have feelings too and mine are hurting so bad right now. I never once thought that I was ever into guys but over the past year, I started to realised that is a possibility. You made me realise that, but you have also hurt me. Saying we would never get back together with me then you kissing me two months ago, that wasn’t fair on me. You played with my emotions and now I am so confused. Do you like me? Do you just want me for the reasons for sexual relations only? So don’t you dare have the guts to tell me that you are hurting because of what I did to you, look in a mirror and face what you have done.’ Alex said.

‘You have some nerve Alex. I knew that you were going to hurt me from the start, I knew I shouldn’t have trusted you right from the get go. I fought with myself, for a long time, debating if it was the right thing to do. I foolishly thought it was. I was going to drop everything for you, to join the band and become a rock star but that was just a hobby in which I got wrapped up in. I thought I loved you, I trusted you so much Alex, and you did this to me. I thought you were different. Of course I fucking like you, I’m not one of those types of people. We broke up but you didn’t want to, you wanted us to get back together, that what I thought you wanted, you can’t say that. I went through the toughest part of my life, losing someone who I loved the most to hiding away in my shell. You came along and made that so much better.’ I replied.

'Remember the time I nearly died here? That would have reminded you of Tyler and you wouldn't have wanted to be with me anyway. I saw the way you looked at me, you thought I was just going to vanish, do you know how hard that is on me. I was so curious about everything I did. I was so worried I would do something wrong and it would set you off. You were like a time bomb.' Alex stated.

'You did nearly die. That wasn't my fault, so don't blame me. But you do blame me for being so worried and scared. You were the first person I trusted ever since what Tyler did. That wasn't his fault either, the influence of Vic was hard for him to kick to the curb. Vic was a bad person and you realised that. I saved your arse from Vic by the way. He was going to beat the shit out of you.' I yelled.

'You saved me, I was defending my best friend because of what he had said. Do you not rememeber? Typical. That was the night we first started dating and then about five months later, you were the one to break up with me, Jack. You broke up with me. I don’t want to argue anymore; I don’t want to fight. I just want us to end on good terms for once.’ Alex said.

‘End on good terms. Fine, but after this, I don’t think I will be talking to you ever again.’ I admitted.

‘I totally agree; I honestly don’t want anything to do with you for the rest of my life.’ He replied.

‘Fine with me.’ I replied.

‘Oh, by the way, I guess you have realised that we aren’t together anymore.’ He said.

‘Obviously.’ I replied, rolling my eyes. Alex’s phone went off and he looked down. He replied before he stood up and walked to the closet.

I watched as he packed all his clothes into his suitcases, picking up and putting down all things he was going to take with him. This was going to be the last time I saw my best friend. It hurt, I’m watching him leave. He zipped up the suitcase and put it on its wheels. He looked over to me, before he grabbed his backpack. He nodded his head before opening the door.

‘Goodbye Jack. I hope everything in your life goes exactly the way you want it. I wish you the best.’ Alex said as he made eye contact with me.

‘Goodbye Alex. I wish the best for you also. Have a safe flight home.’ I replied, slight smile on my mouth.

The last time I will see Alex and he slowly started to smile at me before he looked away and walked out the door. I heard the door click as I fiddled with my hands. I stood up and looked to the picture which was on the bed side table. Alex and I smiled, looking into each other’s eyes. That was from when we once were in love, well, thought we were.

The boy who entered my life about a year ago, had become my friend who turned into my best friend, who became my boyfriend than he became my nobody turned into my boyfriend again, had become some stranger within a few moments.

Notes

So, this is the last chapter of this part of the story. I am currently working on the first chapter of the sequal and will most probably upload it tonight.

Everyone who had read this story, I hope you all enjoyed it and I hope you will read on into the sequal, I feel that things will maybe become a bit more complicated between Jack and Alex and maybe, just maybe, we will see Jalex once again.

Thank you so much for the support, you are all amazing! I will see you all in the sequal!!
