ALEX'S POV

It's been about a month since Jack woke up. He's getting released today and then he's going to have to have therapy sessions.

He begged me not to let him go. But after Thomas died I know it's best for my little prince. Every night I have the repeated nightmare of Thomas dying. I don't want the same thing to happen to Jack. I don't want to have to read his - the only person I've ever truly loved - suicide note.

Jack cried into my chest for hours when I told him it's hats best. Eventually he agreed. Of course, I had to pull out the baby voice and puppy dog eyes but at least they worked.

"Alex."
"No Jack, You know where I stand. Help me gather up your underwear." We were packing his bags waiting for Zack and Martin to come and collect us and take us to Zack's. As a group we decided it's better Jack doesn't go home. He asked to stay with me at first but both Zack and I refused.

I want to take things slowly this time. I don't want to ruin it before it's begun. Jack was stressing out over his iPod. It took me a few minutes to calm him down and I began a hunt. Somehow the iPod had wriggled under is pillow. I pulled it out and tucked it into Jack's hands and kissed his lips.

He pulled me close so that I was straddling his lap and pulled me by the hair to get my head where he wanted it. I heard the door to his room swing open and jumped back. Zack stood looking at us in disappointment.
"Martin's in the car. Go ahead Alex," Zack ordered. I carried out his order before Jack grabbed my hand and pulled me in for another sweet kiss.
"See you in a bit, Jacky." I pressed one last kiss to his forehead before exiting the room with two of his bags and his laptop.

I made my way into the car park and saw Martin leaning up against his car. I chucked him the bags and smiled.
"Where's Zee and Jack?" He frowned loading the bags into the car.
"Having a little argument," I stated.
"What over?"
"Nothing important dude, chill." I grinned at him before checking my phone. Four missed calls off my mother. She can wait.

Martin and I climbed into the car and waited. Me in the back and him in the front. He turned on the music trying to diffuse the tension.
"So..." I tried to start a conversation.
"So?"
"What's with you and Zack?" Martin went bright red and looked down.
"There's nothing between us... I just wish there was..." He whispered the last bit.
"Really? I thought you were just... A man whore..." Martin laughed and met my eyes again.
"I was... But I've fallen for him so har-" He shut up when the door opened and Jack climbed in, he rested his head on my shoulder and crossed his arms. I sighed and pulled his seat belt over him.

Zack followed and climbed in next to Martin also pissed off. Martin rubbed his shoulder and Zack looked at him and smiled weakly before glaring at myself and Jack in the mirror.

We're in for a long, long ride...

RIAN'S POV

When Zack told me that Jack was coming home today I managed to get to his place in no time. I set up Zack's house with 'Welcome back' banners. My family, Jack's, Alex's dad and Zack's parents showed up to welcome him back.

Zack told me to keep it small so that's what I did. I heard a car pull up and Zack open the door. When Zack and Martin walked in and joined us Alex and Jack were stood behind with their hands linked together.

They released each others hands and walked in blushing. I stepped forward and hugged Jack.
"Welcome back Jacky." Some others smiled and greeted them. Alex's parents stood looking confused. As did I.

I thought he was dating someone , the girl from the coffee shop, I thought she was here before as well.
"Alex, we need to talk!" His parents beckoned him over and he took Jack over by the hand. "What happened to that Lisa girl?" His mother asked.
"We had an agreement..." Alex looked at Jack. Jack looked confused. I stood eavesdropping from the sidelines.
"But you two were so happy together!?" His mother cried out. Jack shuffled awkwardly.
"But I'm happier with Jack, mother..." Alex muttered.
"Lisa's a wonderful woman, Alex!" His mother hissed. I pulled Jack to one side leaving Alex to battle it out.

The last thing that Jack needs is to be stressed out by Alex's mother. I got him a glass of juice and sat him down with Cassadee and myself.
"So, Jack, how's things?" Cass grinned at me and Jack. Jack sat by her and hugged her. They've always been close. She used to visit him at first but she used to get teary and I don't like seeing her cry. So I asked her to stop visiting if she was going to cry.

I watched Alex and his mother have a heated debate over Jack. I saw he was becoming increasingly quiet. I whispered to Cass to entertain him whilst I spoke to Alex's dad. He's always been indifferent to their debates.
"Uhm, hey..." I waved nervously to Peter to get his attention.
"Hello Rian!" He grinned cheerfully speaking in his British accent.
"Hey, I was wonderin if you could speak to Isabelle. Alex broke up with Lisa and he's with Jack now... I was wondering if you could help Lex... Jack's depression could get worse if this continues... Could you perhaps speak to Isabelle and ask her to stop... Just until Jack's happier..." He nodded and agreed and wondered over.

Alex came over to me, Cass and Jack. He patted me on the shoulder and grinned, I knew the message had gotten across. He squeezed onto the sofa next to Jack and put his arm around Jack's waist.
"Sorry about her... You know what she's like..."
"Who's Lisa?" Jack raised an eyebrow at Alex. This could be awkward.

JACK'S POV

"Who's Lisa?" I asked. The question has been running through my mind since his mother mentioned her...
"She's someone I work with..." Alex trailed off and I knew there was something more. I looked at Rian who was biting his lip.
"Who is she Alex?" Alex sighed.
"She was my girlfriend but I love you... I couldn't have her when I could have you..."
"You love me?" I smiled. Alex nodded and kissed my forehead.
"Of course I do."

We spent the majority of the night curled up together on the sofa. I was tired and the last thing I wanted was a party but I appreciate that Rian did it for me. Zack and Martin stayed close together for the whole night.

I kind of wish they'd just get together, they'd make an adorable couple. Nowhere near as cute as me and Alex of course but...

I'm on a mission.

I pried myself away from Alex's side telling him I would be back and pecking his lips before disappearing over to Zack's side.
"Hey ZeeZee," I hugged him from behind. Martin waved and I waved back. "How's things?"
"Things? What things Jacky?"
"Oh you know... Health... Sex life... Money troubles..."
"Wait! What was the second one then!?" Martin was laughing as he asked.
"Sex life." I shrugged it off and Martin continued to laughed.
"Dude, I don't think Zack's had sex since high school!" Zack blushed and shoved Martin gently. "S-Sorry." Martin gasped for breath. Zack stood looking unamused.
"Well you could always change that for him Martin. You see, not all of us are as oblivious as the pair of you." I grabbed the back of both of their heads and smashed them together so their lips were millimetres apart. "Now kiss!" I instructed. Martin shrugged and took Zack's face pulling their lips together.

My work here is done. I walked away happily and plonked myself down on Alex's lap. Maybe recovering is going to be easier then I thought.

ZACK'S POV

Martin pulled our lips together and I heard Jack say something but I couldn't hear him over the fireworks. I pulled out of the kiss for air and looked into Martins lust filled eyes.
"What just happened?" I murmured.
"The est kiss of my life. That's what." Martin was beaming at me and leaning towards me for another kiss. I was more prepared this time and placed one hand on his shoulder and one on his waist. He tangled one of his hands in my hair whilst the other lay in the back pocket of my jeans.

"KEEP IT PG-13 GUYS!" Jack yelled from where he was stretched out over Rian, Alex and Cassadee's lap.
"STOP BEING AN ATTENTION WHORE JACK!" I teased raising an eyebrow then pointing to the three people on the couch fussing over him.

That was me a few days ago and now we're laughing over it... I can't believe how much has changed since Jack's... Incident. I think Alex changed him...

I wish I didn't have to believe that... I want it to be me that made him better, after all the time spent looking after him I'd hoped I'd be a part of his cure. I'm not cancelling his therapy though... No chance, I'm not going to risk it again.

Somehow I brought my attention back to Martin who was looking me over. I smiled at him yet felt a blush creeping up to my cheeks. He rubbed them and tilted my head up to look at him.
"Zacky, I've been dying to ask you on a date... So... What do you say?"
"You want me to go on a date with you?" Martin nodded and held both of my hands in his. "Of course I'll go on a date with you." Martin grinned at my reply and pecked my lips.
"Thank God for that." Martin whispered.

We stayed together for the remainder of the party.

I ended up with a few too many drinks inside of me. I was staggering around my house looking at the people in the room. Half of them I barely recognised. Martin was helping me up the stairs and into my bedroom. He laid me down onto my bed and stripped me down to my underwear.

Martin flung the duvet covers over my figure and curled up next to me.
"Night, night," I mumbled.
