Double Take.
Chapter Sixteen.
Alex
Jack and I are standing so close, that if I looked up to look in his eyes, my lips would be on his. Something I have been wanting to do since I got here about a hour ago. So I took the chance. I tilted my head up and placed my lips onto his soft ones. He was hesitant about it at first, but soon relaxed and kissed back. He tasted of a bar and drugs. Something I didn't like, but I would show him the right path in life. I only had one month to try my hardest to fix this broken boy. I knew for sure, that is was going to be hard. As, I, myself was broken. But we could fix each other. Right? We pulled away from the kiss and stared into each others eyes.
"Rian's downstairs, isn't he?" He asked quietly. I nodded my head slowly. "Call him. Tell him you are staying here." I nodded again and stepped away from him, as I took my phone out of my pocket. I scrolled through my contacts and pressed call on my best friends name. It rang one time before he picked up.
"Everything going okay up there, Lex?" He asked into the phone.
"Everything's fine. Just wanted to let you know that you can go home now." I replied, as I felt a smile appear on my face, as I knew I would be around Jack as much as I wanted to be now.
"Okay. What about your stuff?"
"Uh..let me ask Jack." I turned around and faced the boy who was standing in the middle of the room. I noticed he had a lit blunt in his hand and I sighed as I walked over to him. I took it from his hand and thew it on the ground, stepping on it with my shoe. I gave him a look, as he returned the same look to me.
"That was mine." He muttered.
"Yeah. Well, say goodbye to it. Rian wants to know about my stuff. Like, where is it going?"
"We'll pick it up next week. You can use some of my clothes till then." I nodded my head and put the phone back up to my ear. "Did you hear that?"
"Yep. Have fun Lex. If you need any help, just call me." I could hear the smile on my best friends lips.
"That's for everything Ri. Means a lot. I'll talk to you soon. Love you."
"Love you too, Lex. See ya." With those words being spoke, we both hung up the phone at the same time. I put it back in my pocket and looked back over to Jack. "We have some cleaning to do."
"And what do you mean by cleaning?" He asked, looking confused.
"Cleaning, as in something you and I are going to fight over. I can tell already." I muttered.
A good three hours time passed by, and I was finally done cleaning. Hopefully at least. The cleaning was basically getting rid of all of Jack's drug stashes, as well as empty beer bottles. And hell yes I was right about fighting over it. It took me about a hour and half, just to get Jack to show me where his stash was. He was throwing small fits the whole time, and it was just making it harder for the both of us. While I was getting rid of everything, I sent Jack into the kitchen to make dinner, to keep his mind off what was going on at that moment in time. I went into the kitchen and saw Jack putting the dinner onto two plates. I walked up behind him and put my arms around his waist, and put my face in his back.
"I don't think you understand how much I missed this." He whispered.
"I think I do." I whispered back., as I tightened my grip around him. Once I let go of him, he turned around and handed me a plate. "Thank you." He nodded his head and placed a small kiss on my forehead. Now that I think about it, the year Andy was cheating on me. He never showed me small motions of love, something he always did the years before. I guess I finally got the answer to why he didn't.
Jack and I walked into the dining room together and sat at the table, right next to each other. We fell into a silence, I have to admit, it was kinda awkward, but I would rather have a awkward silence around him, then be nowhere near him. I looked over at him and caught him taking a small glace at me. I chuckled a bit and took another bite of my food.
"This is going to take some getting used to." He spoke. I nodded my head in agreement.
"It is. But I'll prove to you that it's wroth it." I replied. He looked over at me and I saw the hint of a smile trying to make it's way on his lips. The moment was ruined by a knock on the door. Jack went to get up, but I stopped him. "It's fine. You sit here and eat. I'll get it." He nodded his head and continued his food. I took a few steps over to the door and opened it. When I opened the door, I saw someone who I wish I would never see again.
"Hey Ja- holy shit...Alex?" The person spoke.
"Um...hi Zack." I whispered.
