Jack

I blinked awake to the obnoxious sound of Alex’s phone buzzing, and though may be a fantastic song, I didn’t want to wake up to “Dumpweed” by Blink 182 booming through my room.
I glanced at Alex, expecting him to wake up from the sound but he was still sound asleep ,laying with his head on my chest.

I stretched out my arm, trying not to abruptly wake up the beautiful boy on top of me, and grabbed his phone. I pressed my finger down on the power button to shut it off, and my eyes widened as I saw that the time was 6:30.

Dammit, we overslept.

I looked down and smiled at how peaceful Alex looked, running my hand softly through his tangled brown hair, and gently pulling apart some of the knots that formed overnight.

He’s so perfect.

I don’t want to wake him up, he’s so calm right now. If he gets up and goes to school, something’s gonna happen that’ll make him angry, or frustrated, or hurt his feelings.
I just want him to be happy all the time, he deserves it. He’s the sweetest person alive, and having him in my life makes me the happiest guy on the fucking planet.

I just want him to feel the that way, about life.

I don’t want him to ever found out that I betrayed him, and have been dishonest with him this entire time. It’ll crush him.
That doesn’t mean I don’t constantly feel like an asshole for being untruthful with this angel.

“Hey Lex?” I said lightly, biting my lip nervously.

No response. He was still in a deep sleep, probably exhausted from the invigorating night we had last night.

I shook my head, trying to get the thought of him naked, moaning my name underneath me out of my head. Can’t get a boner now, we’re already late.

But… maybe if I just try something…

“Baby, I cheated on you.” I admitted, squeezing my eyes shut waiting for a response, but all I could hear was his adorable, light snoring.

A wave of relief washed over me.

“I’m only telling you this because I know you're asleep right now, and you don’t hear any of this. But, it feels good to get that off my chest, even though you’re not getting a word that I’m saying. I’ve been lying this entire time, and the guilt has been eating me alive. I’m sorry, I love you more than anything in the world.” I explained to him in a hushed tone, still running my fingers through his hair.

His chest was still rising and falling at a slow, relaxed pace, an undisturbed snore passing through his lips every few seconds.

I sighed.

He didn’t hear me, but it felt amazing to tell him. A weight was lifted off my shoulders, even though nothing has really happened, or changed in his life in the past 30 seconds.

Everything’s going to be okay. I told him, and as you can see he’s totally fine with it.
We can just go back to normal.

“Lexy, get up. We overslept.” I told him, rubbing his back just enough to make him stir.



Alex

My eyes fluttered awake, squinting up at Jack who was moving underneath me.
I groaned and shoved my face into a pillow, rolling off of him and onto my side of the bed, that I always stray from in the middle of the night to lay on top of Jack.

“Come on babe, we don’t have time to shower and I want to stop somewhere to get a breakfast sandwich.” Jack told me, I felt the mattress shift as he leaned down to pull on his boxers from last night.

“Huh?” I mumbled, still groggy and confused from sleep. I don’t know what his rush is.
What does he mean we don’t have time to shower?
We always shower together in the morning when I stay over, why can’t we now?

“It’s 6:30.” I told me.

WHAT?!?!

“We’re gonna be late!!!” I exclaimed, springing out of bed and nearly fell on the floor in the process.

I ran to get to Jack’s dresser, rushing to find clothes for the day. I pulled on a pair of his boxers, and went down to my small drawer in the dresser where I kept clothes for when I stayed overnight.
I usually just wear his clothes, most of the time I wear his shirts but it gets annoying wearing his pants because they don’t fit me very well. His legs go on for miles, and mine do not.

“I think I’m gonna ditch today, I don’t feel like going.” Jack groaned, laying on his back on the bed where I had just been.

“What? Jack, you need to! I can’t survive in school without you.” I whined, crawling back onto the bed and sitting down on his lap.

“But my nose hurts,” Jack mumbled, sitting up so he could face me.

You could tell he was doing a lot better than before though. His black eyes were gone, there was a little bit of bruising on the bridge of his nose, but he still looked perfect like always.

“Please Jack,” I begged, jutting out my bottom lip in a pout.

I hated bringing out the pout, but I knew the affect it had on him. I can’t have him missing school, I hate when he skips school, I just feel uncomfortable the entire day.
Plus, if he keeps missing school he will get in trouble by the school.

“Fine, for you.” he sighed, I smiled and connected our lips in a kiss.

“You have me wrapped around your finger, you know that?” he chuckled, and kissed me again, this time harder and he was tracing his tongue along my bottom lip asking for entrance.
He groaned as I pushed him away lightly, and he wrapped his hands around my waist tugging me closer to him.

“You smell bad,” I giggled, crinkling my nose in disgust.

“Yeah babe, I smell like sex.” he laughed, and placed a wet kiss on my cheek, and I squirmed as I breathed in his sweaty, stinky body again, but he didn’t let me go.

“So do I, ugh, I can’t believe we smell gross and don’t have time to shower.” I mumbled frustratedly, he shrugged and gave my lips a sweet peck.

“My cologne and deodorant are on-”

“You’re dresser, I know babe.” I interrupted him, and smiled as I saw a smile spread across his face. I kissed his cheek and got off his lap, shuffling over to his dresser to spray cologne all over me.

“Ugh! Stop teasing me!” I heard him groan angrily, making me scoff.

“What? How am I teasing you?” I gave him a weird look, looking back at him who was on his back texting in bed. He’s not going to have any time to get ready.

“Sure, and fucking walking around in your tight ass boxers is a kind thing to do to someone when they can’t jerk off right now.” he answered, making me roll my eyes as I leaned down to grab one of my pairs of skinny jeans from the drawer.

“LEX! JESUS FUCKING CHRIST!” he yelled, grabbing a pillow and frustratedly stuffed in in between his legs.

“Oh. you’re being ridiculous. Stop being so annoying and get dressed. For the record, they are tight because they are yours, my boxers are in your laundry that you never to” I rolled my eyes at him.

I couldn’t help but feel flattered at how easily I could give him a boner. Well, to be fair, he is Jack.
He’s literally gotten a boner by seeing two apples next to each other, imagining they were boobs.

“Yeah, they’re tight because I don’t have a nice ass like you do.” he sounded a lot closer, I felt his hand smack on my butt, and he reached down to pull clothes from one of his drawers.

“Your butt is perfect, Jack.” I told him honestly, leaning into him, and he pressed a kiss on the top of my head.

“But mine doesn’t make people stop and stare-”

“Jack!” I scolded him, he started laughing.

“What? I do it.” he shrugged.

“Stop being so obnoxious,” I told him, picking out a shirt that would go well with my jeans.

“You’re the one that’s being bratty today,” he muttered, just loud enough for me to hear him.

“I am not!” I argued.

“I am not!” he mocked me in an over exaggerated version of my voice.

“Stop being mean,” I glared at him, before going to the bathroom to wash my face and make sure I don’t look like complete shit.

“Oh, I’m not done with you yet.” he laughed, and the next thing I knew Jack grabbed me by my things and threw me over my shoulder, I gasped and wrapped my arms around him tightly.

“Jack! I have to get dressed!” I squealed, giggling.

He flopped me down onto the bed, and I landed with a light bounce. Jack climbed on top of me, and I expected a quick make out session but he did the unthinkable.

He tickled me.

“No!! Stop, don’t!!” I laughed against my will, squirming underneath Jack who was forcing me down by sitting on my lap. His fingers felt like tiny spiders crawling against the sides of my stomach, I jerked and flailed but he wouldn’t stop.

“Stop it!!” I giggled, trying to push his hands away but I was too weak from laughing so hard.
Tears were pooling in my eyes and I wiped them away, still giggling hysterically.

“Okay, I’m sorry!” I admitted, giggling with my chest was heaving for breath.

He finally stopped, laughing as he helped wipe the happy tears that formed in my tearducts.
Gosh, tickling was my biggest weakness.
He kissed my forehead sweetly and smiled down at me.

“I hate you,” I told him, panting out of breath. I was obviously joking around.

“You love me,” he smirked.

“I know.” I smiled, making him smile and he pushed me back into the bed, making out with me.




I don’t know why, but I just had a weird feeling today.
I felt like something bad was going to happen, something that would hurt me, physically, emotionally, maybe both.

Something just wasn’t right.

I finally fixed my bed head, making it look the preferred amount of messy by styling it to perfection. My hair was getting a little bit darker because it’s winter now, and the sun isn’t out to bring out my natural highlights. I think it looked kinda cool, especially with my dark outfit today.

“Are you wearing that dark grey shirt of mine?” I heard Jack’s voice from in his room.
He still hasn’t even gotten dressed? He’s so lazy!

I looked down at my outfit and smirked to myself, “Maybe,” I responded back.

“Baby, I was gonna wear that!” he told me, I giggled to myself. I love taking his clothes.

“Fine, if you want it come and get it.” I called back to him, suggestively.

“Alexander William, do not fucking talk to me like that when I am literally trying to get down.” he yelled making me burst into laughter.
I didn’t know he was that turned on by seeing me in my boxers, it was really flattering I had to admit.

“Sorry, love you.” I laughed, picking up Jack’s toothbrush.

Okay, I know it’s completely disgusting to share a toothbrush with someone. It’s horrible.
But I always forget a toothbrush when I come here, and his tounges been fucking everywhere in my mouth anyway so it’s not much of a difference.

“Whatever, looks better on you anyways.” Jack replied.

A hot blush formed on my cheeks, I smiled as I moved the toothbrush in small circles against my teeth.


I stared at myself in the mirror as Jack lazily brushed his teeth.

He looked so good, like always. I couldn’t think of a time that he didn’t look perfect.
He wore a black jacket with the collar up, a stripey gray shirt, and skin tight black jeans that made me blush when I imagined what was under those clothes.

I looked at my own outfit, a dark grey shirt, tight jeans with zippers on the sides, and rips in the knees, with black vans.

I still couldn’t shake the bad mood that I was in, I have no idea why.

I usually didn’t wake up like this, I’ve been trying to be more positive about everything lately, I especially have no idea why I’m like this is because Jack’s here.

He’s like my own personal ray of sunshine. Whenever I’m with him I just get so happy and fuzzy inside, the rest of the world or all the shit that’s going on just goes away because I’m lucky enough to have HIM as MY boyfriend. It still shocks me every single day.

“Youpr oh wot” Jack mumbled while he was brushing his teeth, making me laugh and give him a weird look.

“What?” I asked him. He was just talking with his mouth full and I had no clue what he was saying.

“Your soh wot!” he mumbled even louder, still brushing his teeth.

“Babe, I’m sorry but I really can’t understand you.” I giggled, leaning against the doorframe.

I watched him spit into the sink and lean down to sip water from the running faucet and spit it back out in the sink to clean his mouth.

“I said that you look hot! Stop looking unsure of yourself baby, you’re the sexiest person on the planet. I’m so fucking blessed to be with someone as stunning as you are.” he leaned over and placed a comforting kiss on my cheek, my face turned a deep shade of red from the sweet words he told me.

“Thank you… I don’t know. I just have a bad feeling about today.” I admitted quietly, shrugging my shoulders and stared at the ground.

Jack stopped fixing his hair to perfection in the mirror, and stepped closer to me, placing a kiss on the top of my head sweetly, grabbing both of my hands to hold in his.

“What do you mean?” he asked.

“I just feel like something’s going to go wrong.” I mumbled.

The day has started off perfectly, but I feel like by the end of it I’m going to be bawling my eyes out. It’s weird. Sometimes I get these kinda feelings for no reason, and they just wear off by the end of the day.

I don’t want anything bad to happen. Everything is going so great right now.

“Did you take your medication yet, baby?” Jack asked me quietly.

Oh. He’s right. I didn’t take my medication yet today.

Is that the reason I feel so weird?
I didn’t like that he just jumped to conclusions and assumed it was my lack of pills that was making me feel so anxious, but I think he was totally right.

He’s the one person in the whole world who knows me better then I know myself.

Does that mean today won’t end up being shitty?

“No,” I felt almost ashamed.

“Okay, I’ll get them for you, I think they’re in the downstairs bathroom. Don’t worry, I won’t let anything happen to you Lex.” Jack promised me, giving me a quick peck on the lips before leaving the bathroom, and I heard his feet stomping downstairs.

I blushed lightly, placing my fingers softly on my lips where Jack had just kissed me, and a big smile spread across my face.

It’ll be a good day.




“You smell like me,”

I giggled at what Jack mumbled, smiling as he placed light kisses down my neck that was already covered in hickeys from last night.
I didn’t mind usually, sometimes it drew attention to me and people would start to stare, but everyone knows it’s just Jack.

I knew that I smelled like Jack. I mean, that’s what I get for having sex with him, then putting on his deodorant and cologne.
I smell exactly like him, and I loved it, because he smells really, insanely good.

“I know,” I smirked, making him smile.

I stood up on my toes and kissed his lips. I only planned give him a short, 5 second long kiss, but of course he wanted more than that.
He wrapped his arms around my waist, holding me up a bit so I wouldn’t get tired from standing on my toes, and he gently backed me up into my locker.

I felt my back touch the cool, hard metal, and Jack pressed me into it as our lips moved in sync.
I smiled lightly against his lips, and reached my arms up to wrap around his neck as we made out.

Jack was intoxicating. His tongue flicked my lips, begging for entrance, and I parted my lips eagerly. His tongue immediately pushed into my mouth, swirling around my own.

Tongues pushing, teeth nipping, lips bruising from the force was all we could feel.

One hand held the back of his neck while the other had my fingers intertwined with the back of Jack’s hair. Jack had one hand cupping my face while the other slid up and down my torso and down to my waist.

I felt his free hand exploring my hips and arched back, but eventually made it’s way to exactly where they always end up going, my ass. Of coarse.

Jack kissed me harder into the locker, he sucked my bottom lip into his mouth and bit down on it, sending a mix of shock and pleasure through my body.

“Ugph,” was the only sound I could make, no louder than a whisper but was enough for Jack to get that I liked that he was doing.

Just as Jack pressed his whole body against mine, pushing me hard but not painfully in the locker, all of the right body parts touching making my head spin, my phone rang.

I felt a light buzzing in my back pocket, Jack’s hand was right under it so he obviously noticed.

I sighed against his lips, making him whimper in impatience.

“Voicemail. Please, please just let it go to voicemail.” he begged me, his lips still barely touching mine.
I frowned, kissing him one more time before and shook my head. He sighed, reaching into my back pocket for me, grabbing my phone, and handing it to me with a pout.

I looked at the caller id and frowned, holding onto Jack tighter than I was before.

“Jack,” I mumbled to get his attention. He looked down at it, seeing that it was my father calling, and sighed with disappointment.
He pressed his plump lips to my forehead as I answered the phone.

“Hi father,” I spoke into it, Jack pressed his ear up to the other side of the phone so he could hear the conversation.

“Alexander, where the hell were you last night?” he asked me, the anger was clear in his tone so it was obvious he was pissed at me like usual.

“I w-was tutoring Jack,” I stammered nervously, and relaxed a little as I felt Jack’s hand rub my back soothingly.

“You were supposed to stop by the grocery store and pick up eggs for dinner after school yesterday. God dammit, can you do anything right?!” his tone raise, getting more angry as he heard my voice.
Jack narrowed his eyes and tried to grab for the phone, but I pushed his hands away.

“I’m r-really sorry, I will g-get them for tonight.” I promised.

“Thank god. That’s the least you could do for this family, you ungrateful rat. I work 8 hours a day, and somehow my paycheck is always blown by spending money on all your fucking doctors appointments! You worthless piece of shit-”

The phone was then ripped from my hands, Jack looked so tempted to start yelling at my father through the phone but he ended the call. I stared down at the ground.

“He’s going to yell at me for hanging up on him.” I mumbled.

“Don’t you dare liste to a word that comes out of that shithead’s mouth! He’s the worthless piece of shit. Nobody should talk that way to anyone, let alone to their own child. It’s abuse, Alex!!!’ Jack exclaimed. I’m not stupid, I know that it’s abuse.

“I know, I try not to let it get to me.” I mumbled, looking up at him with an unsure look on my face.

It’s so hard to think positive when I’m constantly being screamed at for being myself.

“That’s my boy. You shouldn’t let any of it get to you. It’s all bullshit. He has his own issues and he’s taking it all out on you because you’re an easy target, he knows you’re a sweetheart and won’t fight back.” he told me.

He doesn’t think of me as a sweetheart, a coward was a lot more accurate in my father’s opinion. But thankfully, the only opinion that matters to me is Jack’s.

I nodded, listening to him rant about how angry he was at my family.

“If only he knew that you had a boyfriend that was not a sweetheart, that will gladly punch and break his motherfucking jaw so he can’t spread all those lies into your gorgeous mind.” he went on angrily, I felt the arm that he had around me tense up as he thought about it.

“You are a sweetheart, Jack.” I smiled, looking up at him.
He had such a big heart, and he was so kind and amazing to me. I couldn’t think of one thing about him or his personality, or the way that he looked, that I would want to change.

Everything was perfect.

“Only to you, baby” he told me, wrapping both his arms around me in a tight hug.

I pressed my face into his chest and sighed, in bliss.
He makes me feel so much better after talking to my parents. If he wasn’t here I would probably shut down and let the dark thoughts take over my head, but Jack never lets the dark take over.

Jack always makes me feel sunshiney and fuzzy inside, always putting a huge smile on my face that nobody else in the world could do for me.

“Guess I can’t come home after school.” I mumbled, snuggling my face into his chest.

At this point, I just call Jack’s place home. I was happiest there, felt most comfortable there.
I felt more at home in his home. I think that made Jack happy.

“Dammit, It’s okay. As long as nothing happens to you at home.” he sighed, I could tell he was imagining the worst, and I didn’t want him too.

“My dad only screams at me, he doesn’t take his anger out on me like he does with Tom, not that that’s a good thing.” I tried to reassure him but I think it made it worse.
It’s not as bad as it sounds, we’re all used to it by now.

“Oh my god… that’s so fucking messed up. He’s never going to harm a hair on your gorgeous head Lex, I promise you.” he squeezed me tighter, kissing my cheek repeatedly, making me blush.

“As long as I have you, I’ll be okay.” I smiled, making a big smile spread across his face.

“I’ll always be here for you baby. I’m never going to leave your side.” he promised me, the seriousness in his voice confused me a little.

I’m thrilled about how much he means that stuff about me, but it’s so unlike him to get all sincere like that without cracking some dumb joke.
It seems like it hit home for him in some way.

But I’m glad he’s never going to leave me, I’d be a walking disaster if he ever abandoned me.

Nothing in my life is more important to me than Jack, and our relationship together.

“Well, me neither.” I smiled.

He smiled back, leaning down to connect our lips together.
We kissed for about a minute before the bell rang, Jack groaned obnoxiously loud making me giggle, and few other people in the hall look over and smile.

“If your nose hurts, or anything happens to it during school, just text me.” I reminded him.

I’m definitely not the kind of person to skip class, like he practically does everyday, but I’d run out of a classroom if Jack was somewhere in the school, literally gushing blood from his face.

“Okay beautiful,” he smiled.

His sweet words made a rosy blush form on my cheeks, I looked down at the ground to hide my face. He’s so kind.
He makes me blush every five fucking seconds, the only time I’ve ever seen him blush was when I told him that I was in love with him for the first time. I compliment him all the time but he always just turns the conversation around and back to me.

He cares about me so much, and he still gives me butterflies whenever he smiles at me.

I felt a finger hook under my chin, lifting my head up making me look up and him.
He leaned in and kissed my lips sweetly, our lips overlapping for a few seconds before he pulled away, and placed another soft kiss on my forehead.

“Bye, love you.” I told him with a blushing red face.

“Bye baby, love you more.”



Jack

I couldn’t keep the smile off my face.

He’s so perfect. Everything about him. Every inch of him, inside and out, perfect.
We’re so perfect right now. We’ve never been stronger.
We really are going to be together forever.

My phone buzzed in my pocket, I pulled it out to look at the text.

To Jack:
Meet where we did yesterday, ASAP!!!!!!

I texted back a simple ‘okay.’

Usually I would’ve said something teasingly about her excessive use of exclamation points, but I didn’t even bother. I was too caught up daydreaming about my boyfriend.

I felt lighter than air. So much of the guilt I’ve been feeling for the past month just vanished.
I was thinking about the here and now, not worrying about what happens in the future.

I was relieved that his dad screaming terrible things at him wasn’t getting to him as much anymore, I knew for certain it was because of me.
I think that I really help him with everything, plus, he probably would’ve forgotten to take his pills and had a terrible day without me today. I was so glad he told me what he was feeling so I could be quick to fix it.

I’m thrilled he can trust me and rely on me with holding his heart.
I’m determined to never break his heart, to never hurt him.

We’re going to live happily ever after, I’m sure of it.

I turned the doorknob to the stairwell and pushed the door open, talking in to see Tay nervously pacing in a straight line.

“Hey, you okay?” I asked, taking a few quick steps toward her.

“Okay, it’s been fucking forever, so I’m just gonna come right out and say it, because if I don’t tell you in the next 10 seconds, I think I’m gonna explode!!” she exclaimed, nervously rubbing her hand over her other arm and staring at me with wide, brown eyes.

“Just fucking tell me then!” I encouraged.

“I’m fucking in love with you, Jack Barakat!”
