The four times Jack knew what Alex was going to say, and the one time he didn't
I know what you're going to say, so let me be a Kanye and stop you there
Jack and Alex had been friends for a little over fifteen years now they’d gone through everything together, from Jack almost getting expelled to where All Time Low was today. The two boys were best friends, and they knew almost everything about each other, sometimes Jack seemed to be able to read Alex’s mind. When ever he had to confess something he’d walk over to Jack and tell him that they needed to talk. Jack usually knew what he was getting at.
The first time they were in 10th grade:
“Hey Jacko, can we talk?” Alex said getting into Jack’s car.
“What’s on your mind?”
“It’s just that I think I’m -”
“I know ‘Lex” He said smiling at the older, “If you like guys that’s chill, I know this guy that I think you’d get along with, his name is Liam.’’
It happened again when they had just turned 19 a few days before leaving of on their first tour:
“Hey Jacky, we need to talk”
“What are you thinking about?”
“I started going to therapy. I was diagnoised with-”
“Anxiety, I know.” He said smiling at the older, “I’m always here for you man.”
The third time was when Jack had just turned 21:
“Hey J, we need to talk.” A slightly drunk Alex said stumbling his way acrossed the club
“What’s going on?”
“I think I’m in love with -”
“Me. I know.” Jack didn’t say anything else before connected their lips together.
The one time Jack didn’t know what Alex was going to say was a few months after they started dating. Jack being who he was started to let his hands wonder when Alex stopped him.
“Hey Jack-o-lantern we need to speak.”
“What’s going on?”
“It’s just that -”
“You think we should break up, don’t you that things are moving too fast, I know I’m stupid I’m sorry I’ll just go.”
“No, it’s not that. Jack, I’m… I’m transgender. I was born female, I had surgery right before we met.’’ Jack stayed quiet for a few moments, “You still love me right?”
“I’m just happy you aren’t dumping me, of course I still love you, why would I ever stop? I’m glad you’re happy.”
Jack was glad that Alex wasn’t good at know what he was going to say the day he got down on his knee and asked Alex to marry him. Jack knew what Alex’s reply was going to be, “Oh fuck yes.”
