Are You Worth Your Weight In Gold?
Chapter 2
Jack
Jack smirked while walking outside of the cafe, he was lucky he caught someone as good looking as Alex in his line of business, he has many plans for said attractive man, and would surely attract a lot more crowd. Let's just hope he's as gullible as anyone can get and accept my job offer for "modeling" without questioning it. He doesn't need to know that he'll sell his body, and let someone use it.
Maybe I'll use his body for my own pleasure too.He chuckled.That could work very well for me, I'll just try not be too ... rough on him.He surely doesn't need to know that, indeed.

Alex
Alex paced back and forth, unknowing of the actual danger he could be put into if he made the wrong decision. His emotions are all over the place between excitement and fright. Excited because of the fact he's gonna get a job as a model! Living in wealth!
Being a model will sure be an easy buck compared to my other choices. Alex thought to himself.
Alex of course was also frightened that a complete stranger decided to offer him a job as a model, this could backfire on him terribly, be a prank for all he knew, or that guy could've been a psychopath ready to kill him, but a guy as attractive as Jack can do no harm, right? He's probably a genuine guy actually looking for a model.
But he really needs to set his maintenance higher, because I'm not very attractive and would probably put shame on my other soon-to-be-colleague models.Alex shamefully thought to himself.
Alex is a very attractive man though, he just doesn't really see it himself. Alex is not confident of himself in the slightest, he's insecure and sometimes even thinking of what other people thought of him could sent him straight into an anxiety attack. If you could get him to open up to you, and ask him what is his greatest fear he would've said the unknown, the unknown terrifies Alex greatly, because not knowing can lead him into an overthinking mess. Overthinking can lead him into a dark void of depression which he finds hard to escape from, most people are too naive sometimes or too smart that they can actually escape from it before it's too late, but not Alex, unfortunately he's one of the people who became slightly addicted to it, from the pain, the pain that makes him feel guilty for even feeling joy or pleasure, but he isn't that far into depression.
What will happen to him in the near future is what will unfortunately push him into depression.
Alex could only think so much about one topic before going crazy, so he decided to call the one person he could count onto, most of the time. Dialing his phone number, and waiting for Matty to answer.
"Hello?" Matty answered with a raspy voice.
“Matty I need your advice! Please I-“
“Hold up Gaskank, do you even know what time it is? It’s like 3 fucking am!” Matty basically shouted at the phone.
At that, Alex looked at the time on his phone and yes it is actually 3 am in the morning, how could he have not noticed that time has passed?
“This better be good Alex or I swear I will murder you after I’m done sleeping, which by the way I’m supposed to be doing right NOW!”
“I’m so sorry Matty, I didn’t notice that it was late, but I need your advice on something …”
Alex explained the whole scenario of what happened leaving out the part that he maybe has a slight crush on Jack, maybe just a little weency bit. Feeling guilty all the same for waking Matty while telling the tale. When Alex finished his story, and it was probably boring Matty to no end due to lack of sleep, he only heard silence from the other end.
“Matty?” Alex called out, fearing that Matty fell asleep.
“What do you want me to do Gaskarth?” Matty yawned with exhaustion.
“I was wondering, uh you, I umm, what would you do if, you know, you were me at this situation.” Alex stuttered, now embarrassed that he dragged Matty into this mess.
“Alex this is a no-brainer situation mate.” His accent thick with sarcasm. “If I were you, I’d accept that guy’s offer and hightail my way outta this hellhole of a place. I’m actually gobsmacked and green of how luck has come knocking at your door.”
“But …”
“You’re thinking about leaving this pathetic place aren’t ya? You’re actually gonna miss this place? Even after all the bad memories that has happened here?”
“Well no, but I-I don’t know.”
“You’re a bloody masochist aren’t ya?”
“M’not … Fine I’ll accept it Matty. I’ll miss you though.”
“Whatever, mate. I’m completely knackered, I’m off to Bedfordshire!” At that Matty ended the call.
Completely petrified of the thought of leaving this awful place, Alex thought of how much better Ohio is going to be than this, but this was all Alex ever knew, it may not be the most safest place, but it certainly is more familiar than what Ohio has. With shaking hands he dialled a number yet again.
“Uh Barakat speaking?” Jack said with a raspy voice. Jack Barakat hmm.
“Oh Jack I’m sorry I woke you up, but I decided to accept your job offer … If it still stands?”
“Oh uh of course it still does!”
“Soooo when do we leave?”
“Actually it’s a good thing you called and decided because it’s 3:30 am right now. You have approximately one hour and thirty minutes to pack and get your ass at the airport.”
“WHAT?!?! I DON’T HAVE ENOUGH TIME! I DON’T EVEN KNOW WHAT TO PACK OR ANYTHING OH MY…” Alex rambled on and on, and if it weren’t for Jack getting sick of Alex’s continuous whining, Alex would’ve wasted another 15 minutes by panicking and talking instead of actually doing anything.
“Alex! Calm the fuck down alright? Just pack some clothes and some necessities then you’re good to go.”
“Okay, I guess I should probably go huh?”
“Yeah unless you actually don’t want to pack, and just want to talk to me and waste time, then I’m glad to be of service.”
Alex “accidentally” ended the call, with his face beat-red. He hurriedly packed his favourite everything, from shirts, hoodies, jeans, boxers, socks, and sunglasses. He packed his toothbrush, toothpaste, and his antidepressants. He picked his best combination of clothes and set out with 15 minutes left to spare to go to the airport, and it’s a 30 minute drive not counting the on-coming traffic.
Oh Shit. Jack is either going to kill me or leave me.

Notes
I know it's been a month, and I'm not dead yet. Since Nia couldn't write the chapter I did and I AM SO SORRY for making whoever is actually subscribed or decided to like this story for waiting.
It is Matty Healy btw and I promise I'll have the next chapter written by tomorrow or maybe the day after tomorrow? No longer than that. If I break that promise I give you full permission to kill me. I am NOT british so I'm sorry for using your British slangs, words, and idioms wrong, I mean I know the meaning but I don't know if the grammar is right, or idk. Criticism is fine by me
