Alex's POV "At least let me walk you too school." Tate said as I dragged myself out of his bed and pulled one of his tops and hoodies. "I'll be fine." I said but hissed loudly and held my side. "You sure your okay going to school?" He asked sounding worried. "I'll be fine Tate. Honestly." I said and pulled my jeans on without making loads of noise with it. "You don't sound fine Lex." He said. "Tate please, I'll be fine I've been to school in a worse state than this. So please believe me when I say I'm fine." I said and looked at him. Tate sighed. "Fine, but I'm walking you too school and if I see that Jack boy he's gonna get it." Tate said seriously. "Fine, do what you have to do." I said and walked out the room. "You gonna get your bag?" He asked. "I didn't have time to pick it up considering he was trying to beat the shit out of me." I said. "Want some stuff? I can give you some of you want it?" He said and walked over to me. "Nah, its your stuff not mine so you keep it." I said and smiled at him. "Okay, well we better get going if I'm to post you off to school." He chuckled. "Well before we go you gonna give me a kiss?" I asked and walked over to him and pushed myself closer to him. "Of course you do." He said and kissed me. I smiled and pulled back. "Come on otherwise we'll both be late and I'll get more of a bollocking than you." He chuckled and we walked towards school. We got to the school and I saw Jack straight away and so did Tate. "Oi! The gay twat with the blonde strip in his hair get over here!" Tate shouted and Jack looked at us. "Yes you get the fuck over here!" Tate shouted again. "Tate don't." I said quietly. "He fucking hurt you and there is no way he is getting away with it!" He snapped and glared at me. I looked down and backed away a little. Jack came over and Tate punched him hard round the face. "The fuck!" Jack said and nursed his face. "That's fucking pay back for hurting Alex." Tate growled. "Really? You told him?" Jack said to me. Tate stood in front of me. "He has enough to worry about, he doesn't need some bastard like you beating the living shit out of him!" Tate said. "I lost my temper so what? You saying you don't lose your temper?" He said sarcastically. "So what? You lose your shit, you take it somewhere else, you punch a locker but you don't punch the shit out of people! Especially if you don't know what goes on at home. Me? If I lose my temper I go out of the room play a game or even fuck someone. I don't take it out on people." He said in a low voice. "So you giving me a life lesson on how to control my temper? Thanks but no thanks I pass on that thanks." He said more sarcastically than before. Tate punched him in the stomach hard. "You fucking hurt Alex again and I'll make sure the next time I see you, you will be feeling every punch I give you!" He growled and walked off not even looking at me. I looked at Jack and walked off holding my side hoping I could last the whole day off school. I was sat in Art with nothing coming to mind so I just doodled and Jack sat next to me. "Well I never knew you had a boyfriend." He said. "I don't have a boyfriend." I whispered. "Well this morning told a different story." He spat. "Well now you know how I fucking felt when you decided to fucking beat me up!" I said and looked at him. "Shit Alex what happened to your face?" He asked quietly. "Like you give a shit!" I spat at him. "What happened?" He asked again. I ignored him. "Don't ignore me Alex." He said. "Why? Why the sudden fucking interest Jack!" I shouted at him. Everyone looked at us. "If you two are having a lovers tif then please do it outside of the classroom." Our teacher Urie said. "As if I would love him." I spat. Jack looked at me hurt. "Back to work everyone." Urie said. "Consider that as a slap round the face." I growled at him and got up and walked out of class.
I was sat under my favorite tree smoking a joint listening to my music when I heard someone walk over and sat next to me. "Leave me alone Jack." I sniffed and had a toke on my joint. "No." He said quietly. I looked at my arm and rolled the sleeve down and looked at my really thin hands. "Was that because of what I did to you?" He asked. "I have a lot of stuff on my mind." I said quietly. "Like what?" He asked. "I might be stoned, but I'm not talking to you about my problems." I said. "Well are you gonna share with me or not?" He asked. "No. It's mine and no one is having any." I growled. "Fine, I won't share what I have then." He said and looked through his bag and pulled a couple of bags. "What do you have there?" I asked. "Sorry Alex. Your not sharing with me so I'm not sharing with you." He said. I threw my weed at him. He looked at me. "Please, I need something stronger than some stupid shit weed." I said. He chuckled. "Here." He said and threw a packet at me. "Thanks." I said and looked around. "You have a book I can borrow?" I asked, Jack chuxkled. "Where's yours?" He asked. "Do you have a book or not?" I snapped. He passed me a book and I got the coke and put it into a couple of lines and snorted the lines and sat back against the tree. "Fuck." I muttered. Jack chuckled beside me. "You need to tell me your dealer because this shit is better than the stuff I have." I said. "My serect. Who's your dealer then?" He said. I laughed. "My serect. Two can play this game Jacko." I said. "You tell me yours and I'll tell you mine." He said. "Na, I'll find your dealer, I have my ways." I said. Jack chuckled. "Well, as much as I love to talk to you, I'm going to my mates and smoke some more and maybe get lucky." I said and got up and held my side. "Actually I don't think I'll be fucking anyone in the next few days." I muttered but Jack heard me and laughed. I looked at him. "Want me to walk you back as you looked fucked." He said. "Na, I'll be fine. Me fucked? Na, I'm no where near being fucked." I smirked and put the hood up and walked to Tate's hoping he would be home.
