It's such a shame that we play strangers

Alex's POV

This can't be happening.

You should know, I like this guy from twitter, I know it sounds stupid to like someone you know from internet and you don't even had the pleasure to meet personally. I didn't even know that I was gay, or bisexual, whatever. He's Mark, I like him since 1 year ago and I couldn't shake him off of my mind this last year, I spent everyday all depressed because of him, but that doesn't matter now. We were like best friends, we talked every single day, and sometimes he would get mad over nothing, that hurt me a lot.

So one day I decided to tell Mark that liked him, I thought "yes, it'll be great, he'll say he loves me too and we'll have our happily ever after", (I must say that he's gay too) but no, that's wasn't going to happen. I told him, and he just shattered my heart, he didn't care and he stopped talking to me. I don't blame him, I'd do the same if I'd be he.

I knew that if I was sad, I could text Jack, he's my friend, from twitter too, you can't blame me for being a weird boy and don't have real friends. I lived in Baltimore, and he lived in Washington, only 67 km away.
Well, I thought I liked Jack a little bit, he was cute and sweet, but I wasn't over the whole Mark situation. Though, I always said to Jack that I'd like to kiss him and that he was cute, he said the same to me since he's gay, but I don't really think he likes me.

Since I told Mark that I liked him, I became a real good friend with Jack, more than before, just because I started to talk to him more and more.

Today, I woke up and checked my phone, and I had a message from Jack, it shocked me, I didn't know what to answer, it said:

From Jack:
Alex, do you like me? Because you're always saying that I'm nice and that you'd like to kiss me and stuff

I quickly replied:

To Jack:
Uhm I don't know.. you're beautiful I won't lie, if we'd live in the same city I would have told you to be more than my friend, but I don't like the distance

From Jack:
Oh.. well, that's okay Alex, no big deal :)

Okay that was weird, I think he's nice but I don't think I like him, or maybe yes? He's so beautiful, but then again I think of Mark and... I don't know. Suddenly I had a half good half bad idea. What if I use Jack to forget Mark? I mean, why would he ask me if I like him? Maybe he likes me, I'd feel guilty at some point, but I always saw cute couples on twitter that are separated by the distance and I always wanted one, just to know what it's like to be loved.

So I spent all day thinking about what should I do with Jack, and finally I took courage to send him a message:

To Jack:
Jack, sorry. What I told you earlier, I didn't mean that. I really like you, but I was afraid of you rejecting me

From Jack:
Are you serious? Alex you don't have to tell me this just because it's what I want to hear

To Jack:
I'm being serious man, really

From Jack:
Well, it's okay Lex. I need to sleep, I'll text you tomorrow.

To Jack:
Goodnight Jack

So now we like each other? I'll have to wait to know what will happen with this, I hope it goes the right way.
