Alex

He really is the best boyfriend anybody could ever imagine.
I mean really! Just think about it, he’s perfect!

He’s funny, open minded, he respects me and treats me like a prince, he’s always there when I need him, he’s trustworthy, he over all just get me.

I’ve never met anyone who understood me better than him.
Just by looking at my face he could tell if my low self esteem was getting to me, if my parents yelled at me or if I was sad because of something he did.
He knew me so well, just by my body language he could probably tell if I was hungry, and what I was hungry for.

He knows me like the back of his hand, that’s one of my favorite things about him.

After 5 months of being in a committed relationship with him, he still gives me butterflies whenever he calls me ‘Baby,’ or makes me blush every time he smiles at me.
I’d go anywhere with him.

After high school I could imagine us getting an apartment together, going to colleges in the same area, then one day we could get married, and live forever together.

Okay… I’m getting ahead of myself… Sorry.
I’m just excited!!!

I walked down the hallway unable to wipe the huge smile off my face. I grinned at the ground as I walked, daydreaming about Jack and what he must be doing right now.
He pops in my head nearly every 10 seconds, he just makes me so happy all the time.

I looked up to see Brendon who was unlocking his locker, his was only a few doors away from my locker so there was no way of avoiding him. One way or another, I had to talk to Brendon.

Do I just ignore how he punched my beautiful boyfriend in the face because of his own dumb problems? Maybe he’s going through some stuff right now, I shouldn’t mention it.
Plus, I really want to brag to him about how sweet and adorable Jack was this morning and how he tickled me till I cried.

I took a few steps toward Brendon until I felt a hand grab my wrist, I flinched and leaned away from Rian who was stopping me.

“Uhhh?”

“You shouldn’t talk to Brendon.” Rian warned me, making me scoff.
He was barely friends with Brendon, they just talk about hot girls together. I’m his best friend.

“Just leave him alone,” Cass growled at Rian, trying to pry his hand off me.

“Um, why wouldn’t I talk to him?” I asked, giving them both a weird look.

“He’s uh, he’s um… In a bad mood… really, really rude. I wouldn’t talk to him if I were you, not for a while.” Rian attempted to warn me but did a terrible job at it.

If Brendon’s in a bad mood then something probably happened to him.
The poor guy, I haven’t even been there for him recently because I’ve been so angry.
Also, why is Rian acting so weird?

“Don’t worry Rian, he wouldn’t be mean to me.” I pulled my wrist out of his grasp, he shook his head quickly

“Alex just-”

“Rian and him aren’t at good terms right now, don’t worry about it Bambi.” Cass told me, Rian’s jaw dropped as he looked at her.

Brendon doesn’t seem to be at good terms with anyone right now, not Rian, not Jack, not Hayley, not even me.

“You guys are being so weird.” I pinched my eyebrows trying to figure out why they would be so awkward around me. Did I do something wrong?

Cass just made hand gestures for me to go over to Brendon, I nodded and turned around, hearing the both of them arguing as I walked away. Weird…

I walked over to Brendon who didn’t bother to look at me, he just stared into his locker.

“Okay, you wouldn’t believe what Jack did this morning, so I slept over and we woke up late and he.... Wait, Beebo are you okay?” I suddenly realized something wasn’t right.

Brendon turned towards me and hugged me unexpectedly, laying his head down on my shoulder, obviously upset about something. I gasped lightly, hugging him back tightly, and rubbing my hand on his back like Jack always does to me when I’m sad.

“Oh fuck… what happened?” I asked gently, leaning my head on his.

“Alex…” he mumbled, trying to start saying something but didn’t bother to finish.

“It’s okay, you can tell me anything, you know that.” I assured him.

“No I can’t.” Brendan whispered, barely loud enough for me to hear it.

“Hm?”

“Hayley and I broke up.” he finally said.

No!!! He’s been in love with her for a year and he finally got her! This is horrible!
They were so perfect together!!!

“What?! Oh my god, what the fuck?” I exclaimed, not knowing how to take this.

“I know.”

“Why? You guys were amazing for each other. Dammit. You love her so much.” I mumbled, he shrugged.

“I know… we just… we had a disagreement, I can’t be with someone who had the opinion that she has. What she thinks is not okay, it’s terrible.” he explained, but I was still very confused.

“What? What was the disagreement about? That’s so vague, gimme the details so I can kick her ass for you.” I joked, trying to make him laugh and thankfully I did.

“I don’t want to talk about it right now, it’s all so weird.” he told me.

“Well, you shouldn’t throw your entire relationship away just because of one little disagreement.” I said, making him scoff and shake his head.
Jack and I have disagreements all the time, it’s part of being a couple.

“I’m not the only one who threw my relationship away…” Brendon muttered darkly, I pulled away from him to look at his face but he just stared at the ground.

Is this what it’s like trying to have a conversation with me? Jack always hates it when I refuse to make any eye contact with him, but Tom does it too.

I thought it was just a Gaskarth thing, ya know, being yelled at because you’re such a disappointment makes you want to look at the floor.
The floor won't be disappointed in you like people always are.

“What? Does this have something to do with you punching Jack? Which I am still mad at you for, by the way.” I mumbled the last part.

“It uh… I’m not really sappose to really… no! Nevermind! Forget I said-”

“Not suppose to what? Are you not suppose to tell me something?” my voice got more angry as I realized what he just said.

He’s been hiding something from me? What kind of best friend would do that?

“You need to talk to Jack.” he said randomly.

“We aren’t even talking about Jack right now, Brendon. What would I talk to him about?” I asked him getting frustrated.

I can’t believe he’s keeping a secret from me! I’m his best friend, we tell each other everything! Now he’s just changing the subject to Jack, what the fuck is going on?

“I just f-found out a few days ago, he made me keep it f-from you… I c-can’t Lex… I can’t be the person to tell you.” he stuttered, shaking his head and running his fingers nervously through his hair.

“Tell me what?!” I asked frantically. So Jack AND Brendon know about this secret?
Why would the two most important people in the world to me, keep something hidden from me?
Why don’t they want me to know, why can’t Brendon just tell me?

“Ask your boyfriend,” he put a weird emphasis on the word ‘boyfriend,’ showing me that he was angry with Jack and our relationship.

I’m so fucking confused.

“If this is something about Jack you need to tell me right now, Brendon.” I glared at him.

Did something happen to Jack? Anxious thoughts and questions kept running through my head making me start to shake with fear. Is Jack okay? Does this have something to do with when Brendon punched him? Are they in some kind of war? Is Brendon going to leave me?

What the hell is going on?

“No, it’s not my secret to tell. I love you Alex, you’re an amazing friend, and I will always be here for you. But as your best friend, please listen to me, you need to have a conversation with your boyfriend.” he placed both hands on my shoulders, looking at me directly in the eyes.

He’s never been this serious with me before, I don’t understand why he can’t tell me himself.

“Fucking tell me!” I demanded. This isn’t fair!

“I can’t take these lies anymore... “ Brendon mumbled to himself, staring down at the ground for a second before looking up at me.

Lies? Someone’s lying to who? Is Brendon lying to Jack? What about?

“Brendon!!”

“Jack will tell you everything, and if he lies to you about it… I don’t know. Just… I’ll always be here for you Alex. Don’t believe a word that comes out of Jack’s mouth, unless… Just go find him.” he grabbed my shoulders and spun me around the other direction, pushing me slightly, giving me a boost as I started walking.

I went in the direction of the stairwell, because Jack’s study hall was upstairs.

That was probably the most confusing moment of my life.
I have no idea what to think right now?

Is Brendon delusional? He just broke up with Hayley, is he going insane?
He wasn’t even making sense!!!

Was he just taking out his confusion on why him and Hayley broke up on me?
He didn’t even give me a clear story of how it happened, so obviously something’s going on with him. Maybe he’s going crazy… The poor guy.

All I know is that I have to find Jack, and talk to him about something.
Some secret that someone is keeping. I wish he could’ve been more specific, I would know what to ask Jack about.

Maybe he’ll know once I bring it up.

But he said I shouldn't believe a word that comes out of Jack’s mouth, um?

Is he actually crazy?

Jack is a lot of things, but he’s not a liar. He’s never lied to me for a day in his life, he told me that he loves me too much to ever hurt me, or do something terrible to me like that.

My life sucks, I admit it, but the one thing that I can count on is Jack being there, and being honest with me. We just have that kind of relationship.

We tell eachother everything

I placed my hand on the door knob to the stair well and turned lightly, pushing the door open.
