Sacrifice

Jacks POV

Alex fell asleep at 6 in the morning leaving me with my thoughts.
I try not to think too much as it'll wake Alex up and he really needed sleep right now.
I just played with his hair.
I knew Alex liked it as Lily used to make him play hairdresser when they where little.
I might not be able to get into his head like he can with me but I'm good at reading his facial expressions and know when he remembering something.

I must of fell back asleep again when i heard something crash downstairs.
It wasn't Alex as he was still asleep.
I got out of Alex arms and went downstairs and have a look who it was.
I went into the kitchen to get a drink as well.
"What do you want boy?" Peter voice growled.
Fuck sake.
"I came to get a drink." I said carrying on getting my drink.
"No you don't! You don't touch anything in this house." He said in a low voice.
" Considering Isobel and Alex said make myself at home I tend to do so." I said back.
Watching is aura and seeing how far I can push him.
I didn't have to wait long. He aura was saying that he was really pissed off.
Excellent.
" No you don't. You get out my house now." He growled with warning.
I got up from where I was standing.
Humans don't scare me.
Only human which scares me is Alex.
I got up into Peters face
"No I will not." I snarled.
"Don't pick a fight with me because you will lose Peter." I threatened.
Peter scoffed.
"Seriously, what makes you so special? Your pathetic you know, so is Alex. Now get out my house." He said.
I could only challenge him, like i normally do with people.
"No." I said and went to walk out the room when Peter grabbed my arm and punched me hard in the face.
It knocked me to the ground but I got up and went straight into his face and raised my fist and punched him just as hard as he punched me.
He looked at me stunned at what I just did.

"Jack." Alex said walking into the room .
"He just punched me." I said not taking my eyes of Peter.
"I know he did. Go upstairs and I'll meet you in my room." Alex said walking up to me and touching my shoulder.
I didn't move but just glared at Peter who returned the glare.
Alex walked in front off me and looked at me in the eye.
"Upstairs now, I'll be up there in a minute." This got me moving.
Alex kissed me which I returned knowing how much this really pissed Peter off.

I went upstairs but sat on the top step and listened in.
"Jack is as welcomed in this house as what I am! I know I'm not welcomed but at least make it feel like it! Do for mum for fuck sake!" Alex said.
Peter stayed quiet.
"Also I don't mind if you use me as a punch bag but DONT you ever lay a hand on Jack again! Surely you would've learned by now man! But you haven't by the looks of things. You'll pay for this dad." Alex growled and before he left he turned round and punched him hard.
Alex leant down beside Peter who was on the floor "Dont fucking touch Jack again otherwise it'll be worse. Trust me." He said lowly.
With that Alex left them room and made his way upstairs.
Fuck.

I got up and ran to the bed room and sat on the bed.
"I know you where listening Jack. I don't mind, as long as you where out the room that all which matters." Alex said as he closed the door behind him and walked over to me.
Alex sat on the bed and pulled my face round to look at him.
He looked hurt at what Peter did to me.
" Jack.. I'm so sorry." He said and pulled me into a hug and started to cry.
I just held him tight.
"Its not your fault." I whispered in his ear.
"It is." He sobbed.
I pulled back and looked at Alex who was looking down at his hands.
"Its not, dont beat yourself about it. He's a twat. He knows we both mean what we said to him."
"You didn't compelled him Jack?" He looking up at me.
"Course you didn't i would of felt it otherwise." Alex said putting pieces together.

I was just about say something when there was a knock on the door.
"Boys? Can I come in?" Isobel said through the door.
"You can come in mum, we're decent." Alex said loudly.
Isobel came and joined us on the bed.
"You okay you two?" She asked looking at the floor.
"Yeah mum." Alex said looking at her.
"What did he do Jack?" She said looking at me.
"He punched me." I said looking at her.
"I've had enough of this shit! First me then, Alex now you Jack." She sounded pissed off.
"Mum breath." Alex said moving next to her.
" I don't known what to do Alex. I really don't." She said putting her head in her hands.
Alex looked at me then back at his mum.
"Come back with me and Alex." I said without thinking.
Alex gave me a look out the corner of his eye.
" As much as I love too I can't leave Peter." She said sadly.
"He needs help mum, before he kills you." Alex said looking at Isobel.
"I know Alex. But how?" Isobel said looking at us.
"Let us think about it mum. We'll find a way trust us." Alex said pulling his mum into a hug.
She pulled away and looked at Alex,
"I trust you boys. What a fine man you've turned out to be Alex. I so proud of you." She said holding his face and looking at him softly and tucking a bit of hair behind his ear.
"Fancy breakfast boys?" She said and got up.
I looked at Alex with alarm.
" Sure, we'll be down soon." Alex said.
"Okay." She said as she walked out the room

"Whats up Jack?" Alex said turning round to me.
"I need to feed Alex." I said looking down.
Alex moved closer to me.
"Can you wait until after breakfast?" Alex looked at me.
"Yeah I can wait." I nodded.
"How's you coping with the Spirit at the moment?" Alex whispered.
" Its fine at the moment, but I can feel it getting bad." I said looking at Alex.
"Okay. Come on let go for breakfast." Alex said slapping my leg and getting up from the bed.
"Okay." I said getting up slowly.
