I was about to pull back away from the kiss, but Alex stopped my by placing his hand on my cheek and kissing me back. It was better than I ever thought it to be. Not only did I just meet this kid, like, yesterday, but I also started having feelings for him the moment I met him in the office. There was just something about him that drew me in. Something that made me want to be around him every second of the day. Maybe it was because he was different? But different how? I don’t know, but I was going to find out one way or another.

He removed his hand from my cheek and placed both of his arms around my neck, pulling me down onto the bed with him as he laid down, not once did either of us break the kiss. I placed my hand on his hip as I leaned over him, running my tongue along his bottom lip, asking for entrance. Entrance that he allowed. I explored every inch of his mouth, getting a bit happy when I heard the moan he released. You could just feel all the passion we were both putting into the kiss, every ounce of it. Also, he was a pretty damn good kisser, and whoever let him go was fucking stupid.

I lifted his shirt up a little bit, running my hand up and down his side. I wasn’t going to take it any farther than this, not anytime soon. Even having a makeout session like this was way too fast for my liking, but I just can’t help myself. Everything about the boy just intrigued me. I wanted to have him as my own, I wanted to be there for him and his child. I may sound like a creep thinking these things, but I can’t stop myself from thinking them. I want to keep him safe from everyone’s dismay. I don’t know if he would let me, but I want to try. From the moment I saw him I knew that I had to protect this boy, he might act tough on the outside, but I know deep down he is scared. He is scared about everything that is going on in his life, I don’t want him to be. He doesn’t deserve it.

I removed my lips from the boy under me and opened my eyes, looking straight at him. I could see the slight tint of pink on his cheeks, making me chuckle as I sat back up and let him use my hand to pull himself back up as well. “Well, that was hot.” He commented, leaning back and using his hands to prop himself up. I fell backwards onto the bed, laughing at his choice of words, using my own hands to cover up my blushing face.

I only sat back up when I heard a phone going off, only to see that it was Alex’s. He picked it up and answered it, pressing it to his ear. “Hey Mum.” Pause. “Uh, let me ask him.” He held the phone to his shoulder so that it would block the speaker. “Do you want to come over for dinner and stay the night?” He asked as he looked over to me. It was a sudden questioned, but I wasn’t going to decline so I nodded my head as he smiled and pressed the phone back to his ear. “He said yes.” Pause. “Okay, we will be there within twenty minutes.” Pause. “Okay, love you too, Mum. Bye.” He pressed the end call button on his phone and tossed it on my bed in front of him.

“Pack an outfit for school tomorrow.”

“Okay, bossy.” I said jokingly as I got off my bed and went over to my closet, grabbing out a pair of dark grey skinny jeans, and a Foo Fighters shirt, as well as a pair of socks and boxers and tossing them into my backpack, since I was too lazy to go downstairs and get a different bag. “If we are going to be there within twenty minutes, then we have to leave now.” I stated as I flung a strap over my shoulder and looked at the boy on my bed. He nodded his head in agreement and got up, grabbing his bag and phone before we heading out of my room, down the stairs, and outside to the driveway, getting in my car and heading off to his house.

It only took ten minutes to get to his house, and once we were there we were greeted at the door by his Mom, who gave us both hugs and told us that dinner was already done and put on the table for us.

We went up to Alex’s room and put our backpacks in there before going back downstairs and going into the kitchen and sitting at the table with his parents, to eat dinner. “So Jack, tell us a bit about yourself.” Mrs. Gaskarth said with a smile as she looked over to me.

“Well, I’m nineteen and I play guitar. I have two best friends at our school by the names of Austin and Alan, and I should go ahead and add Alex to that list as well.” I said with a chuckle as he softly elbowed me, getting me to look over at him where I smiled at him, causing him to blush. “Oh, and I’m always busy on the weekends, since I have a weekend job at the water-park. Hey! You guys should come this weekend! I can get you guys some passes and you can get in for free. It would be fun to have some familiar faces there.”

“That sounds like such a lovely time. Thanks for inviting us Jack!” Mr. Gaskarth chimed in with a huge smile.

“Anything else we should know about ya?” Mrs. Gaskarth asked with that oh so sweet smile staying on her lips.

“Uh, the only other two interesting things about me is that I’m very well liked at school, and I’m gay.” I said causally.

“Oh really? Did you know that Alex is gay as well?” His Dad asked with a smile. They seemed so nice that I for some reason didn’t expect them to be mad at the whole ‘I’m gay’ thing, and I was glad that they didn’t seem to care.

“You don’t say?” I asked with a smirk as I looked over to Alex, knowing that only he could see my face right now. He rolled his eyes at me and looked back up to his parents.

“Mum, Dad, Jack already knows I’m gay. He also knows about me being pregnant.”

“What? You told him about the pregnancy so soon?” His Mom looked to me next. “You’re okay with it, right?” I chuckled and nodded my head.

“He didn’t have to really tell me he was pregnant, I kinda knew from the moment I saw him. Plus, I think it’s kinda cool.” My words making both of his parents let out sighs of relief, thinking that I probably was going to be creeped out by the whole thing.

“Well, I’m glad Alex has a friend like you, Jack. You seem like such a swell guy to have around.”

“Thank you very much, Mr. Gaskarth. Alex is a nice guy, and a pretty good friend at that.” I replied with a smile of my own.

We continued to eat the dinner with each other and just having very casual conversations. I learned that Alex's’ parents names were Isobel and Peter, and they talked very highly of both of their sons, and also talked about how they were so excited to have Tom come and visit them in a few days. They were so filled with life and joy, it made me happy to know that they had such a wonderful family, and I was glad Alex had so much support with everything in his life. And honestly, I couldn’t wait to meet Tom, knowing that he is just as supportive with everything that’s going on in his family's life is just pure amazing.

We finished up dinner and Alex and I said goodnight to his parents, and we went upstairs to his room to just sit and hang out. Alex had one of his three guitars out and was playing a little tune while I was on my phone texting Austin, listening to Alex humming along to the chords he strummed. “Thanks for coming over tonight, Jack. My parents seem to really enjoy having you over.” He randomly said, causing me to look up from my phone and over to him.

“Your parents are really nice people. I’m glad they like me.” I looked at the time on the clock and noticed it was already midnight. “Also, we should be getting to sleep, we do have two more days of school left this week.” He looked at the time as well, nodding his head in agreement before getting off his bed, and placing his guitar back in his stand. Then walking back over and getting under the blankets. I got up from the bed, walking over to the door and about to grab the handle.

“What are you doing?” Alex questioned me as I was about to walk out the room.

“Going downstairs to sleep on the couch?” I said confused.

“No. Get your little ass in this bed. I’m not going to make you sleep on the couch.”

“Are you sure? I don’t want to make you feel uncomfortable or anything.”

“I’m sure. The worse that will happen is I use you as a body pillow in the middle of the night because it’s hard to get comfortable with this child growing inside of me.” He said with a roll of his eyes. I chuckled a bit and walked back over to the bed, getting in the empty side and throwing the blanket over my body. We said our goodnights and he turned off the lamp. I couldn’t help myself, so I rolled over a bit and put an arm around his waist, feeling satisfied with my choice as he instantly cuddled into my embrace and placed one of his hands over mine and we fell asleep in a comfortable silence.

Notes

Aye. Have one more chapter for the night xD
Jack is a bit clingy, eh?
But it's adorable and you know it.

Anyways, I'm off to bed.

And by off to bed, I mean off to Youtube on my computer, and off to play games and creep on facebook on my phone.
