You and I.

Eric's POV

"I'm just worried about the both off them. It's not healthy for Jack or for Alex." I said too Fred since he came round because he was bored and Eli was working and Erin was at school and Callie had gone to work.
"So am I but we both know their just as stubborn as each other and once both their minds are set on something between them we aren't going to make them change their minds." He said and sat on the sofa next to me.
"He needs to go back to hospital Fred. This whole Oscar dying has really knocked him back to how he was when he was 14." I said and Fred looked at me.
"I know its not nice that he killed himself but Alex is a fucking mess. God knows how Jack must be feeling he's got to be stressed out about all this." I said.
"Out of all of us Jack is the only one Alex will listen to when he's like this." He said.
"I know but I'm just worried that this is going to be too much for Jack and he'll leave Alex. Then what the hell are we meant to do because he would literally kill himself without asking questions." I said and Fred hummed in agreement.
"If Jack can cope to how Alex was before then he can cope now." Fred said and had some off his coffee.
"Yeah but Alex is different this time. He's shutting everyone out, including Jack." I said.
"He's not shutting Jack out Eric. If anything the both of them is shutting everyone out." He said.
"Which isn't healthy for either of them. Come on Fred see my point on this." I said.
"I am seeing your point but I am also seeing their point as well. If they've both gone into lockdown then we both know that neither off them will leave that flat or each other until Jack knows that Alex is better and Jack knows Alex better than us inside and out, not meaning it in a sexual way, them two have this thing that no-one can understand and we're better off not trying to understand it." He said.
I just sighed.

"I know it's hard for you because you want to look out for me and Alex. But you have to look out for Callie, Erin and them twins,they are your responsibility now. I have Eli to look after me and Alex has Jack and we both know that Jack can look after him." Fred said.
"You don't understand because your not the eldest. It has been my job too look out for you two since Isobel and Peter left us." I said.
"Eric. You need to trust our partners, just like how we trusted Callie with you. I understand it is hard for you to do that but it's our lives. If we can trust them then so can you. We know our partners better than what you do." He said and put his hand on my knee.
"It's just hard." I said quietly.
"I know it is but you have a family now and you need to look after them just like how you looked after me and Alex." He said.
I looked at him and smiled.
"Anyway the amount of sex them two have anyway I'm sure that might help cheer Alex up." Fred said and I chuckled.
"You know we will always come to you when we need help. It's what siblings do." He said.
"I know you guys will." I said and we spent the rest of our time playing on the Xbox since I was only allowed on it when i wasn't at work, which was almost never, or when Erin was around so I always made the most of having Fred round since he was like the gaming geek out of me and Alex and he could always do the levels I sturggled on.
