Jack


“I am so proud of you, babe”

“I didn’t think I could do it without fainting but I did,” Alex grinned, reaching up and placed a soft kiss on my lips. I could tell how he was impressed with himself.

There weren’t that many things in the world that make me as happy as seeing Alex being proud of himself.

I wasn’t surprised to hear that his presentation won the contest out of all the kids in the grade. He deserved every ounce of recognition, he truly is the smartest person I’ve ever met in my life.

“You amaze me,” I admitted, I had one hand on his cheek and the other on the small of his back.

I grinned as Alex reached both his arms to wrap around my neck as a hug, and gladly hugged him back.
It felted like our bodies melted into each other's. I closed my eyes and leaned down to press my face into the side of his neck. He gives the most amazing hugs.
I was deaf to all the noise in the loud and crowded halls of the high school, all I could hear was his light breathing in my ear.

I lost track of where my body ended and where his began, all I knew was I had my arms around his waist and he was pressed incredibly close against me.
There is no place in the world I feel more safe or comfortable than in Alex’s arms, it makes me completely oblivious to the world around us, or the troubles in my mind.

Until, like whenever I hang out with Alex, the guilt starts to set in. I got over the guilt for a little while, realizing I was doing the right thing by protecting him, but now that Brendon knows I am constantly on edge.

I’m trying to make sure all his time is spent with me, and as far away from Brendon as possible but I can’t help being stressed. At any second of the day, Brendon could pull Alex aside, talk to him before school, or even shoot him a text that reveals my dark secret to him, and that scares the shit out of me.

I don’t even want to let him go, I don’t want him out of my sight.
Too many people know, too many people could hurt him. I just want him to stay in my arms, in our protective little bubble, where everything is perfect, and I know I can keep him safe.

I held him tighter, enjoying the feeling of his body pressed up against me. I just can’t help but think that he’s gonna find out soon, and I won’t be able to hold him like this anymore, maybe not ever again.

I want to slam my fist into Brendon’s face just thinking about what he would be doing to him.


“Jack? Babe, are you okay?” Alex whispered to me gently, moving his hand down to rub my back soothingly. He’s so sweet.

“I just love you a lot. More than anything, you know that right?” I leaned back and looked him in the eyes.

I watched as he rolled his eyes, and a bright pink blush formed on his cheeks.

“You tell me everyday,”’ he reminded me with a smirk.

I smirked back, leaning down and pressed our lips together.

This could be the last time I ever kiss him, I don’t know when Brendon’s going to tell him. It made me sick to my stomach thinking that I’d never feel his soft lips against mine ever again.
It’s become such a habit, I can’t imagine my life without him.

He’s about to be ripped away from me and I can’t do anything to stop it, because it’s all my fault.

He pulled away, because I know how he feels about making out in public.
I gazed at his dazed face, taking in his gorgeous smile.

This is all so fucking depressing. Can’t we all just try to keep this smile on this sweet boy’s face?

That should be everyone’s goal, but it seems to me that I’m the only one that wants Alex to be happy.

The obnoxious sound of the bell rang throughout the hall, and something caught the corner of my eye.
I watched Brendon and Hayley, not holding hands like usual, but Hayley looking down and Brendon glaring at me, and my arms around Alex.
I stared back at him, my eyes daring him to try to come over here and wipe the beautiful smile off of Alex’s face.

If he moves a fucking inch towards us, my fist will collide with his fast so fast he won’t even know what hit him.

I won’t let him break his heart, I won’t let anyone tell him.

I looked back down at Alex who was pulling on his jacket and closing his locker. I bent down and picked up his book bag for him, and kissed his temple making him smile again.

He slid his arms into the backpack straps and looked up at me.

“See you later,” he told me.

“Bye baby, love you.” I smiled.

Alex leaned up on his toes, and kissed my lips. God, I love it when he kisses me.
It didn’t last any more than 3 seconds but it was perfect.

“Love you,” he repeated back to me, kissing my cheek before turning around and disappearing into his classroom. I felt a small blush on my face, and a smile spread across my lips as I looked down.

At that point, the second bell had just rung, signaling that class has begun.
Oh well, I don’t care about being late.

I turned in the direction of the vending machines, planning to get a snack before going to my next class but I was shocked to see that Brendan and Hayley were still there, waiting to talk to me.

“Wow, I didn’t think a goody two shoes like you would ever be late to class,” I said to purposely push his buttons.

I really knew how to be an asshole to people, sometimes I just have to use to it my advantage to protect the people I care about. Alex is worth it.

“Jack, you are one of the worst people I’ve ever met.” Brendon admitted, crossing his arms.

“Brendon,” Hayley grabbed one of his arms, desperately trying to reason with him.

“And I’ve never met anyone with a kinder heart than Alex. You never deserved him for a second-”

“Brendon!” Hayley scolded.

“What’s going on?” I heard a familiar voice, and Rian was walking towards us with a bag of cheese balls in his hand, obviously coming back from the beloved vending machines.

“Don’t defend him!” Brendon raised his voice at Hayley.

“Hey, don’t talk to her like that.” I stood up for her, his head snapped right back in my direction.

“You’re seriously telling me how to treat the person I’m dating? I don’t understand how nobody else sees this! He’s a fucking douchebag that doesn’t care about anyone but himself! I knew from the fucking start you would break his heart, but he fell in love with you so I didn’t want to take away his happiness. But now, I can’t just stand here and watch my best friend being stabbed in the back by the person he loves most. I’m telling Alex, none of you can fucking stop me.”
