Alex


How am I supposed to study for a biology presentation at a time like this?

Me and Brendon were sitting around the library, both of us were in comfy chairs surrounded by piles of homework, but I couldn’t get my mind to focus.
I tried putting in headphones, getting rid of my phone, even moving away from Brendpn, but the distractions were in my head.

I guess I can just work on my presentation later.

I lazily flipped over on my chair so I would be upside down, Brendon laughed at my posture and went on his phone too. Oh no, I made him weak and stop studying too.
Oh well.

I kept texting Jack asking him where he was, because this was his free period, he could just come here and make out with me but he wasn’t even answering my texts.
This is all so weird, usually I’m the one focusing on homework and Jack’s the one begging to make out. But since he stopped, I missed his asking so I guess I took his role.

“Do you think Jack is acting weird lately?” I asked Brendon, and he scoffed.
I know he finds it annoying how much I talk about Jack, but I can’t help it, I love him and I’m having boy troubles!

“You know that I don’t even talk to him, Lex.” Brendon rolled his eyes.

“I know, but he’s just being so distant from me lately. I think he’s mad at me.” I admitted quietly.

“I find it very hard to believe that he’s actually mad at you. You guys don’t ever fight so he has nothing to be pissed at you for.” Brendon tried to reason with my worried mind.

“But he’s so distant!”

“Well, now you guys are kind of like a normal couple. You’re not in cupcake phase anymore, so you’re a little more independent and spend less time with each other. It sucks, but everyone goes through it.” he explained.
I frowned. I don’t want cupcake phase to be over. Jack just seems like he’s moved on with his life without me, is that really what he means to do?

“I miss him,” I mumbled. I hated not having him around me all the time.

I felt uncomfortable when I wasn’t holding his hand or hugging him, but that’s basically all the time now. I don’t know, I’m probably being irrational like always, I’m just petrified of him finding someone else that he likes more than me. But, I have to remember how much I trust him.
Jack would never do anything to hurt me.

“You’re right, so I have nothing to worry about?” I made sure, making Brendon laugh.

“Of course not.” Brendon reassured, which only calmed me down for a few seconds.

“Am I just being clingy?” I asked, making Brendon sigh.

I can’t help it! I’ve never dated anyone before, I know it’s just Jack but I can’t tell if he’s giving me hints that he isn’t interested anymore.

“You’re just overthinking it. I bet he’s just being all weird in your head. I know that I didn’t like Jack at the start, but I think that he’s actually a decent guy.” Brendon admitted, making me smile.

“You’re just realizing that now,” I scoffed. How can anyone not see how perfect Jack is?
He’s such a gentlemen to me, I know that he doesn’t act like that to everyone but treats me like a prince.

“I had my many, many doubts.”

“Yeah I remember. That’s because you guys slept-”

“We don’t speak of it!” Brendon interrupted me, making me go into a laughing fit.

Jack and Brendon, it’s hilarious to even think about.


“AND, he’s a dick that takes advantage of people.” Brendon added.

“Was, past tense Brendon.” I reminded him. Jack has changed, he’s not an asshole anymore.
At least not to me.

“You’re right, and I WAS holding a grudge against him, but I see the way he treats you, and looks at you. He really loves you.” Brendon smiled, making me cover my face from blushing.

“I love him…” I gushed, daydreaming about my boyfriend.

“Cuties,” Brendon mumbled with a smile.

I shrugged, blushing even more. Jack is so amazing, I’m still not even sure why he likes me. If I stay away from him for too long I start to doubt he actually likes me, but then when we’re together and I see the way he looks at me and how much he says he’s ‘in love with me’ and I feel reassured.
He’s so sexy, tall, dark, and handsome, while I’m all nerdy and short and uncool.
Being with him is like the fairy tale of the prince falling in love with a peasant.

“Hey! Vic dumped Kellin!” Brendon exclaimed with surprise, interrupting my giddy thoughts.

“What? Who told you that?!” I asked.

“Hayley just texted me.”

“That’s so sad,” I mumbled. Vic and Kellin were great together!

Sure, they might’ve just used my body to grind on and dance with when I was too drunk to function, and Jack may have punched both of them in the face a few days later, but they were still sweet guys when they're sober!
I wonder if Jack knows yet, they are all such good friends, I hope it’s not awkward for the three of them.

“They were so cute! Totally perfect for eachother!” Brendon whined.
I’m sure they will just get back together soon, they are made for eachother

“I know! Ugh, I hate break ups. I’m glad me and Jack don’t fight or anything.” I told him.

I don’t think we will ever break up, I love him too much. No matter what he does, we’ll be strong enough to stay together. I’m sure of it.

“Me too.” Brendon agreed.

“So…. what about you and Hayley?” I changed the subject to his girlfriend.

“What about us?” Brendon chuckled. I waggled my eyebrows at him and Brendon groaned.

“It’s fine, we’re fine.” he laughed.

“You never talk about her,” I told him. I could go on for hours talking about Jack, Brendon doesn’t even want to bring up his girlfriend in conversation.

“I don’t need to, we don’t have any problems.” he shrugged, I nodded.

“Well, me and Jack don’t have problems.” I defended.

“Yeah, but you make up problems in your head.” he laughed, making me laugh too.

“True, so you and Hayley are perfect, huh?”

“She’s perfect.” he gushed, a small blush formed on his cheeks.

“That’s awesome Beebo,” I smiled, happy for my best friend. He chuckled at his silly nickname.

“Look at us! Relationship guys!” he exclaimed.

Right before I was going to answer, the bell rang. I groaned and slid down from my chair and landed on my feet lazily. The school day was almost over.
We walked out of the library holding our extra text books in our hands, and went into the hallway.

I’m pretty sure that I have Advanced Calc and Music class next, and that’s it!
Good, I spent way too much time last night watching Teen Wolf, and not sleeping when I should be.
I can’t help it, it’s a good show!

As we turned the corner to the hallway that had our lockers, I was confused at the sight that I saw.
Cass and Rian were full blown arguing in public.
Whoa! I’ve never seen them argue like this, only bicker like an old married couple.

“So you’re saying that it’s just totally okay to lie in a relationship?” Cass asked Rian, angerily.

“No, I’m not saying that!” he defended.

“Then what? Would you just hide that kind of secret from me, just to spare my feelings?” she questioned.

“I don’t know Cass, maybe.” he shrugged.

“Maybe?! You would cheat on me and hide it from me?” Cass gasped.

I flinched at their loud voices. Fighting makes my anxiety worse, but I really want to know what they are fighting about.

“What are they talking about?” Brendon leaned over and asked me.

“No clue,” I mumbled, but they were definitely creating a scene in front of the whole school.

My face grew red with embarrassment for even knowing Cass and Rian, I looked around at the staring eyes of our peers and became really uncomfortable.

“If it would leave you devastated... I don’t know Cass. This whole situatuon is messed up. It’s not even our place to tell him what to do,” Rian shrugged.

“I can’t believe you!” Cass exclaimed, it looked like there were tears in her eyes.

All I wanted was to go over there and give her a hug, I wanted to defend her side of the story.
I had no idea what they were talking about, but I know that she would have my back if something like that happened to me.

I would want to make sure she knew I was there for her too.

“Cass, babe, you’re being overdramatic.” Rian told her. He should comfort her then!

“Why are you even taking his side anyway? You know he’s lying to him every single day. It would be so much better if he was honest. He would understand! It’s too late now!” Cass exclaimed, going on and on about something I had no idea about.

“Exactly! It’s too late, which is why he isn’t telling him now!”

“Uh, who are they talking about?” I mumbled to Brendon, he shruggled.

“No clue,” he said, looking puzzled.

I watched as they kept arguing, trying to pick up context clues to figure out what they were talking about. It’s something about a guy, and he’s lying to another guy or something.
I wish they could just say someone’s name, it would be so much easier finding out what they meant.

I gasped as I felt a hand grab my waist, and I was pulled away from the scene of my two friends fighting. I looked up to see Jack, who was giving Rian a pissed off look, Rian looked at my face shocked.
Huh, maybe Rian and Jack are fighting too.

“Whoa, don’t listen to them. They’re being weird.” Jack told me, now we couldn’t even hear them fighting we were so far away.

“But what were they fighting about?” I asked, Jack bit his lip, like he always does when he’s thinking.

“I think Rian said something… to someone. I don’t know. Don’t worry your pretty little head about it though. It doesn’t have anything to do with us.” he told me, bending down to peck my lips.

I still wanted to know who they were talking about, but if Jack said it wasn’t even about us then it can’t be important.

“How are you, anyway? I know how yelling makes you feel. I was surprised to even see you watching them go at it.” Jack asked me sweety, holding me tighter to his body.

I blushed, and shrugged. I can’t believe he remembers all these little things about me. Yelling just reminds me of my house, and then that reminds me of my Dad screaming in my face about how much of a failure I am.
It just… gets me anxious.

“I’m okay, cuz we don’t fight,” I smiled, Jack leaned down and placed a sweet kiss on my cheek.

“Yeah, I love you too much.” Jack admitted.

“But you don’t even disagree with me.” I commented.

“Yeah, because you’re a lot smarter than me so you’re usually right, plus, I can’t think of one reason why I would want to yell at you like those two are.” Jack tilted his head back to see if they were still fighting.

“Nothing at all?” I asked, surprised. I would yell at me for a lot of things.

Me being awkward, too shy, too boring, not smart enough, ugly, too fat.
All I do is scream at myself in my head.

“Nope, I love you exactly the way you are.” he smiled, and my dopey smile returned with my tomato red blushing face.

He’s literally my boyfriend and I act like it’s the first time anyone has told me they loved me.
I was at a total loss for words, staring at the ground, biting my lip, flushed by Jack’s words.

He sweetly lifted up my chin with one of his fingers, I tried looking away to hide my face but he was already kissing me.
I stood on my toes to reach his lips better, feeling butterflies going crazy in my stomach. He still makes me as excited as when I first met him.

I don’t know what Brendon was talking about, kissing him was never going to get old.

I pulled away from him only because my toes were getting sore from standing on them for so long, and he stared at me for a few seconds.

“So fucking stunning,” Jack mumbled, placing one hand on the side of my face, as I watched him admire the way I looked.

Oh my gosh, my face is going to burst into flames, I’m blushing so fucking hard.

“I love you,” I told him, my voice wasn’t any louder than a whisper because I was all overwhelmed by him calling me ‘stunning.’

“I love you more,” Jack smiled, making me laugh.

“No, I love-”

"I just thought of a reason to fight with you," Jack changed the subject, making me frown.

"What?"

“Well I mean, the only thing I would really yell at you for is for giving me boners in public. But that’s kinda my fault because I always stare at your ass.” Jack admitted, making me roll my eyes.

Of course, totally perfect and adorable moment and he had to bring up my butt.
It’s okay, it was still perfect and adorable.
I'm still dying on the inside on how he called me 'stunning.'

“Pervert,” I laughed, smacking him in the arm.
