Undercover

"What did you just say," I asked.

"I said it Alex, you know damn well what I said," he retorted.

When did Jack actually grow a backbone and talk back to me? When did this happen, he was also so submissive to me, he always did what I said without a question. I liked him better this way though, I liked his attitude, I liked him holding his ground. It was beyond attractive. I grabbed his shirt collar and pushed him back into the wall, my lips colliding heavily with his. His hands met my hips and suddenly everything was okay. I stopped wanting to run. I stop caring entirely about what happened. With him here, I didn't really care what happened anymore.

Maybe there was someone who could love and I just needed to let them in. Maybe he wasn't going to hurt me when I let him in. Maybe I just needed to trust him and everything was going to be alright. Maybe I needed to actually trust someone else for once in my life. Maybe things were going to be okay if I let him in, let him know what it was really like in my mind.

"I trust you," I whispered.

Those three words were so different than his three words but they meant the exact same thing. They meant that we put all our faith in the other. That we both could only feel this for the other, no one would get this for another. Jack never told people that he loved them and I never told people I trusted them. Those three words we never said but everyone else did.

He was beautiful though, I had noticed it but never admired it. His grin was dorky and cute; it had been brightening up my day since I had been with him every day recently. I wouldn't trade anything for the past few days that we had together because they were the best days of my life. Not only did I have the freedom to do what I wanted but also the freedom that I had never had before.

"Jack, thank you, for everything," I whispered.

"You're welcome I guess," he said just as soft.

"There's some things you've done that you will never understand. Just thank you, for everything."

"Alex, I just want you to be happy. I think I found a way that we both can be happy."

"I love you too Jack."

Notes

I'm sorry this is so short and mediocre, writer's block is the worst thing ever and it hasn't really gotten better. I also had a quite bad weekend which really lead me to want to write. I'm trying to make the next chapter better than the past few.
