Jack

I love not having school so much. I know some kids that really like vacation, but I love vacation. There is nothing more I hate, is to be trapped in a building for 40 hours a week, with nobody actually wanting to be there.

“Jack, can you buy me a puppy?” Alex joked, walking hand in hand with me through the mall. Rian and Cass invited us, Brendon, and Zack to come shopping since it was Thanksgiving break. Alex was staring into the pet shop, looking at the puppies who were barking and toppling over each other adorably.

Honestly, I would. Alex always talks about how much he loves dogs, but his family is just getting by paycheck to paycheck because his and Tom’s medication, therapy and doctors appointments are so expensive, so there is no way they could afford it.

I seriously wish I could chip it and pay for some of it, I can’t imagine how much all of that costs, but my family has money to blow. I have thousands of dollars in my bank account, let alone the big fat checks my parents send me every month, basically apologizing that they are such assholes.

“Sure babe,” I laughed, he chuckled along too. One day we could get a puppy.

All six of us got lunch at Panera, and were sitting in the foot court talking amongst ourselves. Thankfully, Zack was asking us for advice on how to get Tay back.
Seriously, he is such an idiot for letting her get away from him. Tay is pretty much as good as they come, besides Alex, he is the very best. But, Zack better not fuck it up this time, he’s one of my best friends but he isn’t the best with relationships.

“Just apologize,” Brendon said absentmindedly as he played on his phone.

“Hey, you should give relationship advice to yourself.” Cass giggled, making everyone laugh.

“I did apologize to her! She just won’t forgive me!” he whined.

“Hayley told me that you hadn’t forgiven her, because you think she doesn’t trust you.” I repeated what she told me the other day, Brendon through his arms up in surprise.

“I did not! Why were you talking to my girlfriend about me anyway?” he questioned.
I knew he was still pissy at me because of the other day, Alex apologized for his behavior but I knew he meant every word he said. He will never think that I’m good enough for Alex.

“She told me to stop bragging about my perfect relationship,” I stated simply, wrapping my arm around Alex who was staring into space, sipping his tea that I bought for him.

He grinned at me, leaning his head against my chest. I always get a little worried when he stares off into space like that, because it means he’s just lost in his own little world, and he usually starts getting pretty anxious.
Whenever he isn’t focused on something, all he’s left with is the dark thoughts in his head. I try not to worry too much about it, because he can handle himself most of the time, and I can’t tell him when and where he can think. I just hate seeing him upset.

“Perfect is an overstatement” Brendon rolled his eyes, making me pissed at him once again.

Alex looked up at me without talking, but his eyes spoke enough. They said, ‘Don’t you fucking dare start a fight.’ Ugh, why is Brendon so annoying lately?

“Not this again, let’s all just be friends here.” Zack chuckled, cracking a smile on both me and Brendon’s faces.

“Hey look, Brendon, that guy is completely checking you out.” Cass pointed at two guys, one with tan skin and blonde hair, wearing tight patterned shorts and a white button up, the other had pale skin with dark brown hair, snakebites, and wearing a black tank top with distressed jeans.

“Which one? Surfer or punk?” Brendon asked excitedly, and tried to look as casual as possible as he turned to look at them.
Immediately, the dude with blonde hair waved him over, telling him to come to him.

“Oh my god, uhhh, Alex come with me.” Brendon said, standing up. Alex choked on the tea he was drinking, and stared up at him in shock.

“No! Why?” he exclaimed.

“Because there are two guys over there, and one is obviously being his wing man so I need you to be mine.” Brendon explained, Alex shook his head.

“Have you met me?” Alex asked. I mean he has a point, he’s the most socially awkward person I know.
It would be really funny to see Alex try to flirt with some other guy harmlessly. He’s always been the person being flirted with, not the one to take charge and start hitting on someone.

“Please, they will think you're adorable. I’m begging you, Alex, you’re like a gay guy magnet you have to help me.” Brendon begged, Alex frowned.

He’s not wrong, he’s completely a gay guy magnet. I would know, even though I’m not gay, couldn’t think of any girl better than him. It’ll be really funny seeing him interact with other boys on his own.

“You can do it, babe.” I urged him, he groaned. I pushed him off his chair so he would stand up, he attempted to sit back down but I wouldn’t let him.

“Come on, Lex.” Brendon dragged Alex by the hand, Alex was pulling back as much as he could.

“Ugh, oh my god, Jack what do I do I talk to him about? What do I say?” he asked nervously, making me smile. I’m glad that he gets so nervous around other guys, that means he’ll never chose one over me.

“I never thought that one day I would be giving my boyfriend advice on how to flirt with other guys,” I chuckled, he groaned.

“You’re not helping!”

“Uhh, just talk about music, and say that you’re in a band and stuff.” I explained, his eyes widened with fear but he nodded, and followed Brendon.

“He’s so cute!” Cass exclaimed.

We all watched laughing, and Alex stared at the ground awkwardly, at a loss for words. It was so cute seeing him be so terrified of the guy, he was so shy. But, he was also just extremely faithful to me. He’d never even imagine looking at another guy, I’ve seriously never met a more loyal person than Alex.

“God, it hurts me he’s so awkward.” Zack muttered.

All four of the guys were in a circle, and when the guy with dark hair realized Alex wasn’t going to talk to him, he started talking to his blonde friend, making Brendon uncomfortable. Oh god. I can’t watch this.
Brendon elbowed Alex to get him to respond, but he continued to have his eyes glued on the floor.

“Oh my god,” Cass giggled. The punk guy put a hand on Alex’s hip, trying to have a conversation with him but failing. I immediately trying to calm myself down from getting pissed, I never thought he would TOUCH Alex.
I hate the feeling of jealousy. The feeling when someone threatens your relationship with someone that you value highly. I didn’t want to seem possessive but Alex is mine, no boy gets to have his hands on his waist but me.

This isn’t even helping Brendon, I had to stop this.

“Uh Rian, can you play along with what I’m about to do?” I asked him, Rian nodded immediately.

I got off my chair, and walked up to the two of them, Brendon looked up at me with flushed cheeks, looking embarrassed, his eyes begged for me to help.
Alex looked relieved to see me, he opened his arms out for a hug for comfort, but I stepped away. Then my plan would be blown. We can’t ruin this for Brendon and the dude he is with.

“Alex, your boyfriend is calling for you.” I told him loudly, so Rian’s head perked up, Cass and Zack were cracking up at the table.

“Come to me baby!!!” Rian called, opening his arms out, making the others laugh harder.
Brendon was staring at us with wide eyes, while the blonde guy turned Brendon’s head back to him.
Alex shuffled over to the table, and walked to Rian, who hugged him into his lap. I snorted with laughter at the sight, but then I realized that i actually had to talk to this guy.

“So… you got stuck with being a wingman too?” the guy asked in a low voice so they wouldn’t hear.

“Yeah, but it doesn’t seem like they need us anymore.” I chuckled, glancing over and Brendon and his cutie, that were nearly 10 feet away now, so there’s no way they could hear us.

“Yeah, well, that doesn’t mean we can’t enjoy ourselves. I’m Derek.” Derek smirked, wrapping his arms around my neck.
I had to admit, he tempted me. He was really hot, with a dark fringe, tight tank top that showed off this lean body type, and his snake bites… Those are a huge turn on for me.

But it felt weird having someone who was just as tall as me having their arms around me, and it felt weird having a boy that wasn’t Alex this close to me. I’ve been living and breathing Alex for months now, I’m pretty rusty on flirting with other guys. Why should I bother?

“Look, I’m going to pretend like I’m super into you for our friends, but actually I’m dating the handsome boy that just left.” I explained, wrapping my arms around his waist so he’d be closer.
I turned my head to glance at Alex, he was staring intently at us with annoyed eyes, while sitting in Rian’s lap of coarse.

“Damn, he was adorable. I was trying to talk to him but he was too shy.” Derek sighed.

“Yup, that’s my boyfriend.” I said with a smile, I couldn’t help but grin whenever I was talking about him.

“That really sucks that you’re not single though, because you’re really sexy and I was going to ask for your number.” Derek looked at my body up down as he said it, sliding a hand down my torso, and hooking one of his fingers into the belt loop of my jeans.

Damn, he’s smooth.

I looked over to Brendon, who had the guy writing his number on a napkin, Brendon looked like he was about to leave to go back to the table.

“You can give me your number to make it look more believable, but I’m going to throw it away in the next 10 seconds,” I chuckled, making him laugh.

“Sure, why not?” He laughed, getting a napkin and scribbled his number down with messy handwriting.

“Well, see ya.” I said as he handed me the paper.

“If you and your boyfriend don’t work out, you should keep that number!” he offered, giving me a wink. Now he’s trying too hard.

“Yeah, I don’t see either of those things happening. Sorry dude.” I gave him a fake smile, patted him on the shoulder, and turned around walking over to Brendon.
When we were a few feet away he let out a huge sigh.

“Thanks Jack, this makes me hate you a lot less than before.” he told me.

“Great, all I want in life is your approval anyway.” I laughed, making him roll his eyes.

“Look, I’m sorry about what I said yesterday, I really do think that you and Alex are a good couple. I was just taking out my anger about my situation with Hayley, all out on you. You make him really happy Jack, and his happiness means a lot to me.” he explained.

“Thanks, and I understand. I’ve done the same thing to you and Hayley so it’s no hard feelings. I was skeptical at first but then I realized how good you were together.” I said sincerely.

“Yeah, were.” he repeated the way I said were in my sentence. Oh, bad word choice.

“Well, getting another guy’s number isn’t exactly a step in the right direction to getting her back.” I said honestly, making him laugh a bit.

“I know, I just wanted to see if I could actually get his number. Hayley seems so unintrested in me, I wanted to see if other people were too.” he sighed.

“Awww, Brendon.” Cass frowned, at this point we’ve gotten back to the table we were eating at.

“Sorry I’m not smooth like Jack or his new boyfriend.” Alex muttered, sitting crisscross applesauce in his seat, sipping his tea. I chuckled, ripping up the phone number and placing the shredded paper on the table, and sat next to Alex.

“You may not be smooth, but you’re perfect.” I smiled, leaning over to kiss the pout that was spread across his face.

“The asshole put his finger in your belt loop. That’s my territory.” he grumbled, reaching down and slipping his finger down and through my belt loop.
I couldn’t help but smile at his jealousy. The belt loop thing is about as flirty as he gets with me in public, which is a lot different from me. I practically stick my hand down his pants everyday in school, sometimes he doesn’t even mind, he usually gets embarrassed. I don’t care, but he does.

“I love you, baby.” I mumbled, and kissed him, but Alex pulled away too quick, just to annoy me.

“I love your iced coffee that I drank while that guy was feeling you up.” he smirked at me, sipping my drink.

“He wasn’t feeling me up, and you know that coffee makes you jittery.” I explained, taking the coffee away from him. I don’t know how he drinks this much, he’s already had almost a full cup of tea, and now my coffee. He must have a very big bladder.

“But it’s so good.” he whined, reaching for it.

“You’re so good,” I smirked, he returned the same flirty face I had, and I leaned down to kiss him again. He’s the cutest thing on the planet. Once again, he pulled away too soon, staring at me with his sexy eyes I’ve fallen in love with.

“Stop teasing me,” I muttered, he scoffed and rolled his eyes.

“Then give me the coffee.” he bargained.

“No, it’s not good for you. Drink your tea, british boy.” I laughed, pushing over the big cup of tea that I had bought for him.




“But I can’t believe he put your hands on you.”

He couldn’t stop bringing up what happened, I knew he was thinking about it way more than he should be. I was just helping out Brendon, and I’m never going to see that guy again.

The both of us were just wandering around in Target, everyone else needed to get a few things because they were planning on having a small party before Thanksgiving, they were going to invite Kellin and Vic and all those fun people. I’m really excited to go, I know how much Alex hates socializing but I am forcing him to go. I hate when I’m not around him

I kept finding clothes that would look adorable for him, and begged for him to try them on but he refused. We really don’t have the same sense of style.
I liked leather jackets, graphic tees and band merch, and skintight ripped jeans. I had more of a rocker style, and he wore more of solid color fitted shirts and tank tops with jeans, and sweaters with accessory necklaces.
I love his sense of fashion, it’s sexy as hell, it’s just different from mine.

“Well he did the same to you!” I defended.

“But that’s different”

“How is it any different?”

“Because you’re you. My extremely hot boyfriend, nobody can touch you like that but me.” he muttered, making me laugh.

“God, I love you so much.” I smiled. He was going rummaging through a rack of clothings.

I grabbed his hips and hugged him from behind, pressing him into me, and buried my face in his neck. I smiled as he giggled, leaning his head into mine.

“I love you too,” he giggled, I placed small kisses on the side his neck and he kept laughing.
He turned around to wrap his arms around my neck, and I immediately pressed my lips to his.

Have I ever mentioned how much I love his lips? They are just so alluring and kissable, every time I see him I just have the strong urge to make out with him. I thought that feeling would calm down with time, but it hasn’t. He still gets me just as excited as he did when I first met him.

He was smiling against my lips, giggling, and I took that opportunity to place little kisses little kisses on his blushing cheeks and forehead.

“Alex?”

I tilted my head with confusion as a preppy, middle aged couple walked over to us looking at Alex with surprised eyes. I kept my arms wrapped around Alex as his dropped to his sides, all the color drained out of his face in shock. Uhhh… Who are these assholes?

“M-Mr and Mrs. Clark, hi.” he stuttered out, pushing me away from him. He looked completely terrified, obviously he knew who they were, but I had no clue how.
They were just a middle aged couple, they seemed pretty damn harmless.

“Wow, I had no idea you were…” the man with a graying black hair said, looking at me like I was some sort of alien.
What’s his problem? These fucking people are wasting my time, and getting my gorgeous boyfriend all worked up when he was having such a good day today. Now they were looking at me like I was some sort of shameful mistake and I didn't even know them.

“I-I’m not. Uh, he’s just uh, he’s my um…” Alex stuttered, completely at a loss for words. I could practically see him shaking, all I wanted to do was hold him in a big hug, but for some reason he doesn’t want them seeing us together.

“That’s alright, it’s none of our business. We will see your parents next Sunday for golf won’t we?” Mrs.Clark said, placing a hand on Alex’s shoulder, looking somewhat sympathetic for him.
I still literally have no idea who these people are, or what was going on. There was obviously something here I’m not getting.

“A-Absolutely.” Alex stuttered.

“Nice to see you again,” Mrs.Clark smiled, Mr.Clark was still staring at me.

“Who were they?” I asked as they walked away, Alex covered his mouth with his hand in total shock. I held my arms out and he returned to being close to me right away. Wow, he was really shaking.

“Friends of my parents, who just saw us making out. Friends of my extremely homophobic parents, who will kill me if they find out I’m gay…” he trailed off, pressing his face into my chest.
No, no, no , no, no. This can’t be happening. They can’t actually find out about us.

“Oh my god Lex, that doesn’t mean your parents will find out.” I reassured him, even though I could barely believe myself. This is a nightmare.

“Yes it does Jack!! I’m dead!” he exclaimed, voice cracking in fear.

“You’re going to be fine.”

“They are going to beat the shit out of me Jack, I can’t go home, they’re going to kill me. They’re going to find out about Tom too, and beat him, oh my god. I’m gonna die.” he rambled, running both hands through his hair in frustration.

No, I hate seeing him like this.

“I’m not going to let anything happen to you, baby. You’re going to be fine.” I told him, but nothing seemed to be really helping. He had tears brimming his eyes, with total terror in his face.

“I can’t do this, please. They can’t know Jack.” Alex buries face in my chest, I frowned and kisses the top of his head. They won’t tell his parents, right? They can’t.

“Take deep breaths babe,” I soothed him, rubbing his back but nothing seemed to be helping.

I always try my best not to panic when he’s about to have an anxiety attack, and make everything as less stressful as possible for him. Seeing him like this just made me want to punch something, or someone, he shouldn’t have to be going through such pain.

“I can’t handle this, please, this can’t be happening. I can’t do this. I can’t… I can’t.... I”

“Alex,” I grabbed his hair in my hands and pulled making him look up at me, he stared at me with tears streaming down his face, chest heaving as he hyperventilated. He needs to calm down, if he goes on like this he’s going to faint from hyperventilating. ]

“Calm down, this doesn’t prove anything.” I told him gently.

“What if they tell my parents Jack?” he choked out.

“They won’t, and in the very small chance that they do, you and tom won’t have a hair harmed on your head. I will protect you two, you can stay with me at my house. I won’t let anything happen to you Alex.”

Alex sighed, and got on his tip toes and hugged me, pressing face in crook of my neck, and I hugged his waist, holding him up a bit so he could stay on his toes.

“I have so many issues, how am I going to end up okay, Jack?” he mumbled.

“Because i’m going to make sure of it.”

“I love you more than anything,”

“I love you too, Lexy.”
