Jack

I can’t believe this. I think I’m actually pulling it off.
I’m getting away with lying to Alex.
I knew that was the plan, just hiding it from him till everyone forgets about it, so we can all just move on with our lives like nothing happened. But that doesn’t mean that I thought it would work.

I thought that Cass was going to tell Alex, or Zack would blurt it in front of him, or Brendon would find out and tell him.
I could’ve sworn something was going to have to go wrong, but it hasn’t.

I thought that a few days ago when Cass and Rian were having a screaming match about us, literally right in front of him that I was caught. But, somehow this is working.

I pushed Alex hard into the lockers, wrapping one arm around his waist pulling him as close as he possibly could to my body. I held the back of his head with my other hand, connecting our lips together for a passionate, hungry kiss.
I was so fucking tired of feeling guilty all the time, I just want to kiss my boyfriend without Tay popping up in my head.

I slowly traced my tongue along his bottom lip before pushing into his mouth, I easily gained dominance as our lips moved together in sync. Within seconds we were practically swallowing each other, mouths wide opened as we made out, not caring who saw, because we’re in love.

I ran my fingers through his messy hair, pulling gently to make him whine.
Oh my god he sounds so beautiful.
He smells beautiful.
He feels beautiful.
He looks beautiful.

I bit on his bottom lip softly for a few seconds, grinning as his breath hitched at the feeling.
I pulled away watching him out of breath, both of his arms were thrown over my neck as I stared at him. I love him so much.

The way he makes me feel is seriously indescribable.

“You look so fucking good in these pants, baby.” I mumbled, starting to lightly suck an old hickey I made a few days ago behind his ear.
I stroked my hand down his leg, feeling the fabric of the skinny jeans that clung to his legs in all the right places.

“They’re new,” Alex smirked, making me grin and place a peck on his lips.

“Money very well fucking spent,” I smirked back, and slid my hand down into his back pocket, and squeezed his perfectly round ass, making him gasp.
He grabbed my arm and moved my hand back up to his waist.

“Not at school Jack.” he whined, glancing around to see if anyone saw. He’s so paranoid.

“But I love showing you off,” I shrugged, smiling as I saw his cheeks get all rosey.
I placed another kiss on his lips before kissing down his jawline and back down to his neck.

“Don’t get me turned on here, please” he whispered, I pulled away because he was begging, no matter how fucking bad I wanted to rip all his clothes off.

“I’ve been hard since the second I saw you today-”

“Shh!” Alex quickly covered my mouth with his hand making me laugh. I grabbed his hand and pulled it down, placing another kiss on his irresistible lips.

“I can’t help it! You wear those pants that show off your perfect body it’s like you’re trying to torture me.” I whined, making him roll his eyes.

“You’re so dramatic.” he chuckled, reaching up to peck my lips.
I bent down to kiss him for the countless time today.
There’s no way I could live without this, he’s the source of my happiness, my life revolves around being with Alex, pleasing Alex, and doing what he says.
I’m definitely doing a good thing. I think I finally realized that I’m not a monster for keeping this secret from him. I was very, very drunk, I was lonely, and I made a stupid mistake that will never happen again.
I’m never going to kiss Tay again, let alone have sex with her, so it doesn’t matter.
It’s in the past, all I was to do now was look forward to my long future with Alex by my side.
I’m sure that Alex would be happy that he didn’t know.
I can just tell him in like 20 years when we’re married with children, and he would be happy because I didn’t fuck up our whole future for no reason.

“I love you,” I mumbled against his lips, feeling him smile on my mouth which made me do the same.

“I love you too,” he giggled, and in that second, the obnoxious school bell rung signaling for everyone to get to class.

I whined loudly to be difficult, leaning on Alex more and pressing my face into his shoulder.

“Get out of here,” he said laughing, pushing on my chest.

He always follows the rules so closely, I don’t give a fuck about being late to class, but he does.

“Fine, go on, goody two shoes.” I teased, smacking his ass as he walked into his next class.

“That hurt!” he whined, looking back at me with a fake look of annoyance.

“Baby,” I teased. He’s so sensitive, not that it’s bad or anything.

He went off into his class with all the insanely smart kids, that for some reason chose to challenge themselves and participate in the most difficult classes.
Not me. I do the minimum I need to do to graduate. High school is a huge waste of time in my book.

I reluctantly walked down the hall to my class. Maybe it’s kind of a good thing that we aren’t in the same classes, because I wouldn’t be able to get any work done at all, and then I would not be able to graduate. I usually copy my homework off of nerds in the class, or Alex pretty much does it for me. So basically, yeah, I’m a shitty student.

“Late again, Mr.Barakat!” the teacher that I forgot her name exclaimed, as she sat at her long teacher’s desk decorated with brightly colored knick knacks.

“Yup,” I answered.

I walk into class late nearly every day, because I’m walking Alex to his next class.
I don’t care though, I’d rather be late and spend more time with him.

I took my usual spot behind Hayley, quickly realizing that I haven’t spoken to her since… the incident. I wonder if she knows. I’m sure Tay told her because they are best friends, but, maybe if I don’t mention it she won’t either.

“Hey cheater!” she turned around, whipping her bright orange hair as she stared at me.
Great, she does know.

“Hi Hayley,” I said with much less enthusiasm.

“Why am I not surprised? Dammit, we really should’ve kept those bets going when you and Alex first started dating. I knew from the start you’d break his heart, I just thought it would take 5 days instead of 5 months.” she told me, I sighed.

“I didn’t break his heart,” I corrected.

“Right, because you’re lying to him.” she raised one eyebrow.

I nodded.

“So, how is Tay?” I changed the subject off of my boyfriend.
I fucking hate talking about him with people who don’t understand us.

“She’s okay, she’s dealing with everything.” Hayley shrugged.

“Is she sad?” I asked worriedly. I meant to keep talking to Tay about it, but I’ve been so preoccupied with hiding a giant secret, and trying to keep my friends from revealing it.

“Not as sad as you,” she avoided answering my question.

“Nobody’s as sad as me,” I mumbled.

“Till Alex finds out. Then he’ll have you beat.” she stated.

“He won’t find out,” I tried to convince her and myself.

“Oh yeah, because you’re lying to him.” she reminded herself.
It’s really hard to tell who’s side she’s going to chose, it’ll probably be Alex’s.

“He wouldn’t be able to handle it.” I told her.

“Oh I know, I totally agree. Bambi is already teetering off the edge, if he knew that you actually cheated on him, he’d totally crash and burn.” Hayley agreed.

I sighed, closing my eyes for a second and just picturing the tears forming in his brown eyes.

“I’m aware.”

“I thought that you guys were going to end up like Rian and Cass, practically married when you're both only 18.” she admitted.

“We still can, as long as Brendon doesn’t find out then we will.” I hinted, I think she got the point.

It will probably be really hard to keep this from her boyfriend, I really hope she can.

“I can try my best, it’ll be hard especially when I talk to Tay, he usually joins us whenever we gossip about you.” she said. They gossip about me? What the hell do they talk about?

“Please, I’m begging you Hayley.”

“Jack, I know about the dumb ‘side’ thing. I’m on your side. Brendon’s not going to find out, I care about Alex and this would break his heart. He doesn’t deserve that pain with what shit he’s already going through. So, don’t worry, I’ll keep your fucked up secret.” she assured me.

“Thank you so much,” I smiled.

“I think that you two would be a great couple, though.” she sighed.

“Would be? What do you mean?” I asked, grabbing my water bottle from my backpack and taking a sip.

“You and Tay.”

The water got caught in my throat from shock at what she just said, and I coughed as I struggled to swallow.

“WHAT?”

How could she even say that?
I mean, I can sort of remember the sex being pretty great, but not me and Alex great.

She’s cute, but not as cute as Alex.
She’s pretty, but not as pretty as Alex.
She’s nice, but not as nice as Alex.

She just isn’t Alex, ever since I met him, nobody could compete with my attraction.

“You would! Just picture it! You would be the cutest couple ever-”

“No, we definitely wouldn’t. If anyone is going to be the cutest couple it will be me and Alex. Me and Tay are just friends, just because we slept together doesn’t mean we have feelings for each other.” I explained, trying not to get pissed off that she even suggested me and Tay being a couple.
I can’t even imagine it. She’s a great girl, but my expectations are just so damn high now.
Alex set the bar high, I don’t think it’s possible for anyone to exceed past it.

“True, but I don’t know… if it doesn’t work out with him, I’d give Tay a chance.” Hayley shrugged, fiddling with her fingers in her lap.

“Of course it will work out between me and Alex,” I told her, I didn’t mean to just totally dismiss her opinion, but she was seriously saying crazy shit.

“You’re right,” she nodded.
