Jack


As soon as I got out of my car and walked into school, I hurried to Alex’s locker. I wanted to see his gorgeous face, I don’t care if my friends don’t approve, he’s mine.
Girls were already all over the boy already, I couldn’t stand their eyes constantly on him. They didn’t even know what his sexual orientation was, well neither do I, but I know he can’t be straight. He can’t be… If he was I would be broken hearted, but I was all over him yesterday, no straight guy would put up with me nearly kissing him.
After I did that though, I knew I was coming on too strong too fast, I was forgetting how slow you were supposed to go when you want to date someone. I don’t want to screw it up, he is a lot more timid and careful than I was when it came to this, well when it came to everything really. I was forward and aggressive, which I was starting to realize made him uncomfortable.
I can’t help it! He’s so perfect, and it’s just been such a lengthy process getting him to like me, and soon he will trust me, and we haven’t even kissed yet.
I scare him, I know Brendon has told him all about me, my experience scares him, that’s honestly my worst nightmare.
I don’t want to scare him.

Going against my most recent thought, when I saw him at his locker, I put both my hands on his shoulders to surprise him. He gasped, dropping a paper he was holding in his hand, and turning around with a shocked expression on his face, fear clouded his eyes. Oh god, I really scared him.

“Aww no, I’m sorry. I just wanted to surprise you.” I soothed, wrapping my arms around him and pulling the smaller boy into a hug, and placing my head on top of his. I smiled as he smushed his face into my chest and sighed, and wrapped his arms around my body.

“J-jack! You scared me!” He murmured, and looked up with me with perfect eyes.

“Well, that was the idea. I forgot you are an anxious little cupcake,” I leaned down and whispered in his ear, making him jerk away from me and give me a playful smirk.

“Ugh, so mean to me.” He said, and I took his books from him, and wrapped my arm around him pressing him close to my side.

“I’m nicer to you than anyone else!” I argued.

“Wow, what a dick.” He giggled, I smiled. He wasn’t as shy as he was when he first met him, he was coming out of his shell, and I was falling for him even more if it was even possible. I glanced at him, noticing something that made me smile.

I stopped walking, and grabbed Alex’s hand and pulled him my way so he would face me. His chest crashed into mine, and he made an adorable “oof” sound. I reached up to take off his maroon beanie that was seconds from falling off his head, ran a hand through his bangs so I fixed his messy but flawless caramel brown hair, and put the hat back on his head. He looked SO good in a beanie. Alex blushed, smiling down at the ground shyly.

“Had to fix your hair.” I muttered, he nodded in agreement.

“T-thanks” he stuttered, going back to his sheepish self that I loved just as much. He was so shocked and dazed about the small contact I had with him. So innocent and sweet, perfect in every single way. The bell rang, breaking them from the trance they were in while staring into each others eyes. I gave him a small smile, giving him his books, forced myself not to press my lips against his, and he left.
I walked off to my class, not caring about being late or anything, it’s my senior year, the teachers are practically scared of me. They never call me in late.

“Hey! Wait Jack!” I heard a voice call for me, but it wasn’t Alex. I turned around and saw Tay chasing after me, and stopped next to me breathing heavily.

“Wow, you need to work out.” I laughed, even though I was still pissed at her for the other day.

“Look, I feel terrible for what I said. I was so wrong, I just saw you guys in the hall, I saw how you looked at him. I was being a bitch, I thought that if you wanted to settle down and be in a relationship with someone, it shouldn’t be with someone you just met. I was wrong when I said you guys won’t work out, I know you won’t let that boy go.” She apologized.
Thank god, I needed her support while going into this. Her blessing meant a lot to me, even though she could be a real bitch, she was one of my best friends.

“Thank you so much, Tay. That mean’s a lot” I smiled, and hugged her.

“C’mon, lets get to class before we get a detention.”

---

I left the class the second the bell rang, and walked down the hall to Alex’s honors class. He’s such a smart kid, I love his mind and the way he thinks. Ugh, I’m obsessed. Is this what love is like? He’s the only thing I think about, all the time. I try to talk myself out of it, but it all makes sense when I see him in person.
I leaned against a random locker a few yards away from the door, I didn’t want to scare him again like I did this morning. I watched the trail of students pour out of the advanced class.

I felt my stomach drop as I saw Alex walk out with Tyler Joseph’s arm wrapped around him, and stole the beanie off his head as a sad form of flirting. Who the fuck does he think he is, putting his hands on MY Alex? I took a deep breathe to try to calm down as I saw Alex pouting, staring at his beanie in Tyler’s hands. I know how bad it would look if I ran over there and started beating the shit out of Tyler, but who would blame me. Has he not noticed us together? Alex is taken, he’s mine! I've never felt so possessive of a person, but seeing Alex with someone else made me want to punch a wall. My blood was boiling with rage.

“I can’t believe I have THE Alex Gaskarth’s beanie” Tyler said sarcastically, with his hands still on him. If he doesn’t let him go in 10 seconds, I will kick his ass so hard he wouldn’t even be able to think about Alex anymore.

“Tyler, give it back! I’m having a bad hair day,” Alex whined quietly, I couldn’t tell if he was enjoying Tyler’s games or just absolutely uncomfortable. I frowned as I saw a smile across his face, he actually liked him, why? Tyler is a jackass.

“Are you kidding? You never have a bad hair day, look at you. You’re as desirable as a guy could come.” Tyler laughed, putting the beanie on his head.
NO, HE DOESN’T GET TO SAY THAT TO HIM. Jealousy was running through my veins, it was a feeling I’ve never felt this strongly before. I couldn’t imagine Alex with anyone else, I needed to lock our relationship down, because he wasn’t mine in everybody’s eyes. Alex reached for it, but Tyler was taller and held it high above his head, telling Alex to jump for it. That fucking tears it.

“Give him the fucking hat, Tyler.” I demanded, both of their faces shot straight to me, Alex looking relieved. Poor baby, I should’ve stepped in sooner.

]Tyler shrugged and tossed his hat on the ground, and stared at Alex’s ass as he bent down to pick it back up and put it on his head. I clenched my fist, trying to calm down the rage I felt inside. When Tyler and I made eye contact, I could see the fear in his eyes. Fucking good. He better be scared of me, if he talks to Alex again, I will break his jaw so he can’t talk at all.
Alex was laughing, oblivious to what Tyler was actually doing. I cocked my head to the other side of the hallway, motioning for Alex to follow me, and he hurried to my side.

“Don’t hang out with Tyler, he's a dick” I ordered, and took his books from him.

“He’s not that bad, and he’s my partner in a project for that class.” He defended. I groaned loudly at his response, making Alex laugh, his adorable laugh that made me smile every time.

“You don't want to be around guys like him, trust me. Just, never talk to him again.” I said.

“You were the one who told me to make friends, Jack!” He whined. He was right, but I meant like straight guys or lesbian girls, people who aren’t attracted to guys, because Alex is the total package.

“Not with him.” I responded, and pulled him closer to me.

“Fine, I guess I’m back with two friends.” He sighed, pretending to be upset.

“Brendan and me?” I asked.

“Mmhmm” he answered, staring at the ground. Maybe that upset his anxious mind more than I thought it would. I acted on impulse, desperate to try to make him happy.

“Well, I’ll tell you what, you’re going to come to my house after school, we can work on our guitar parts for our project, and watch a movie or something.” I offered, not willing to take no for an answer.

“W-why?” He asked, looking at me with a shocked and nervous expression. I thought this would help.

“Because we can hang out.” I answered. Why is he scared now?

“O-okay.” He answered, stuttering just like he used to. Why would be be stuttering? He just got over it, he was so comfortable with me yesterday and this morning. What changed? I just asked him to come to my house… Oh, he thinks I just want to hook up with him., I forgot about all the stories Brendan probably filled his brain with. That is not what I meant.
I’m so thankful that Alex wore his heart on his sleeve, it was so easy for me to read this thoughts, and know what he was feeling. Just one more to add to the million reasons why he is perfect, and perfect for me. I don’t want to ruin what we’re starting by my usual antics, I want him to be my boyfriend. The golden flecks in his brown eyes always dull when he has worried thoughts, and he stares down at the ground and fiddles with the edges of his long sleeve shirt when he’s nervous.

“Alex, don’t worry. We’re just going to practice for our song for music.” I said, grabbing his hand and holding it in my own.
My words and touch relieved him, and Alex smiled as we walked to lunch together. I pulled him close, he leaned his head on me, and pressed even closer to my body. My face felt hot, I felt a blush rise on my cheeks.
What the hell? I haven’t blushed like this… ever. This boy is ruining me, in the best ways.
