It's Such A Shame That We Play Strangers

Chapter 4

*Jack's P.O.V*

How? Why does he want to be my friend. I'm just okay with being his room mate. All I wanted was to be on my own, keep to myself and succeed in passing everything. Than maybe, everything might be alright.

I don't think I can be friends with anyone after Tyler left me. I mean, I was his best friend and he just left. I can't understand why, he was always happy. Maybe I was annoying, a terrible friend. I guess we'll never find out.

As I looked over to Alex, who was lent up against the wall, looking over to me, I just don't know what to do. Do I give this kid a chance? He's very interested in me, and I don't know if I should actually find that creepy or not.

I just felt very, I don't know. My feelings felt so mixed, happy someone wanted to be my friend, but if I talk to Alex, it just makes me feel bad about not talking those other guys who tried too. I'm feeling sad because the last person I got close too, left me and left me falling in love. I'm hurt about that, maybe that's why he left. Because I scared him. Scared him with the thought of us being together.

I was still looking at Alex who was still looking at me. What if we become friends and I develop feelings. I can't speak out about it again, I'll just lose another friend.

Was it possible that I wanted to actually be friends with Alex? This means I get to become friends with those who Alex hangs out with. Was I about to throw myself into society once again, to finally make myself notice what I've been missing? Was it going to be worth it in the end?

*Alex's P.O.V*

I studied the way Jack would look me. Yet, I knew he was in another world, fighting his demons within. But his eyes, his eyes showed pain, then they would shine for a little before they turned dark again. These demons he has, must bring him down a lot.

I still don't understand to why he pulled himself away in the first place, someone will tell me soon, I guess. Maybe I might hear it first hand from Jack, which would be amazing. That means, he's willing to talk to me. I should probably tell him that he has time, time to get confidence again, before he talks.

As Jack still battled with himself, I slowly moved off the bed and walked to my desk, pushing the chair backwards. I pushed the chair to where Jack was sat, about a metre away. I sat down and cleared my throat. Jack removed himself from his thoughts and his eyes connected with mine.

'Jack. I want you to know, that I want to be your friend. Not because I'm just your room mate, but because, I think that'd be really cool. I don't think I could go on for a couple years, hating you. That just wouldn't work. I know you don't like talking, so just take your time. One day you'll feel comfortable with talking to me, and on that day, I will be here to listen. But will you take baby steps? Sit with me at dinner tonight?' I said making Jack move his head in discomfort.

We sat in silence for a while, letting Jack to think about his decision, which ended in a head nod. He was looking forward at the wall, but he nodded his head. He turned his head and smiled. He nodded his head again and I nodded mine.

'Come on then. We don't want crap food if we get there last.' I said standing up. I walked to the door and opened it. Jack followed and It was a quiet walk to the cafeteria.

Jack and I just got our food when I heard my name being called. Turning my head, I saw Rian waving his arm in the air. I looked back to Jack, who looked at me through his fallen fringe and gave me a worried look.

'It'll be okay.' I say as we begin to walk over to the table. When we reach the table, I place my food on the table before sitting. Jack slowly put his plate on the table and than sunk into his chair. I smiled to him as he looked at me. His eyes flickered from mine to his plate.

'Jacks a little nervous.' I say to Zack and Rian. They nod their heads understandingly.

'Hey Jack. I'm Zack and this is Rian.' Zack introduced him and Rian. Jack nodded his head before taking a spoonful of food. We all took that as an indication to eat.

Finally, we were all made to go back to our rooms, seeing as curfew is at 9. Which is a little bit early for my liking but what can I do. Jack grabbed his things and went to get changed, I saw this as an opportunity to strip to my briefs and jump into bed, grabbing my earphones and phone. I placed in my earphones and clicked onto a Room To Breathe by You Me At Six. Jack walked in and turned the light off, walking to his bed and getting in. I smiled to him before rolling over and facing the wall.

*Jack's P.O.V*

I looked over to Alex and sighed. This was the first time I had a someone else sleep in this room, for a year.

'Goodnight Alex. Thank you.' I said, knowing he couldn't hear me.

I closed my eyes and began to think about what it would be like to act confident. Act differently before falling into a deep sleep.

Notes

Sorry about the cliff hanger. Actually no I'm not. Look what it brought on.
Jack wants to be friends with Alex, but will he?
