Don't You Go and Carry On With Your Life

Alex

"Shhh you have to be quiet or you might wake Kellin." I whispered in Jack's ear.

We were in the middle of having sex. We had been up texting all night and at two am we both decided I should come over. We hadn't told Kellin that we're officially together again but I figured he already had his suspicions. Jack just wanted to tell Kellin 'when the time felt right' whenever that was.

"Sorry." Jack whispered from underneath me.

I gripped his hips again and pulled him back on to me and thrusted forward. He tried his best not to yell out, but I found his prostate which didn't help.

"Fuck Alex!" He cried out and I chuckled. He couldn't help how loud he was when it felt so good.

"Lift your hips more." I demanded. I pushed his back down and he pushed his hips up towards me. "Fuck, don't move." I breathed and started pushing into him harder. Jack loved when I fucked him doggy style but it always left him super sore.

"Lex I'm gonna come." He painted and grabbed the sheets.

"Do it, come all over yourself." I reached down to start jerking him off.

He moaned and his knees became weak as he came all over his stomach and the sheet below him. Jack fell on to the bed and clinched around me tighter. I pulled out and came over his back.

We both stayed still trying to catch our breath for a few minutes. Once I caught my breath I grabbed Jack's towel off of the floor and cleaned off his back. He rolled over so I could clean off his stomach and try my best to clean the sheet. I threw the towel off of the bed and laid next to Jack when I finished. He wrapped his arms around me and laid on my chest.

"Oh god I missed that." He sighed contently. He snuggled more into my chest and I wrapped my arms around his waist.

"I missed you." I said and leaned down to kiss him. I pressed our lips together and he pulled away to yawn.

"Sorry." He chuckled.
"It's okay. It's almost four am, and I'm pretty sleepy too." I yawned also and he nodded.

Jack turned to face away from me and he pushed his hips back into mine. I wrapped my arm around his hip again as we spooned together. I laid my head between his neck and shoulder and closed my eyes.

I was slowly drifting off to sleep but I woke back up when I felt Jack's hips push back into mine. I figured it was an accident because he was trying to get comfortable but he didn't stop. He slowly rolled his hips against mine, making sure his ass brushed my dick each time. Now I could see what he was doing. I grabbed his arm and rolled him back over to face me. I pushed his legs apart and laid in between them. Then I shoved my tongue into his mouth. Jack chuckled into my mouth as I reached down to line back up with him.

"Daddy?" I woke up to the sound of Kellin knocking on Jack's door. Jack woke up a second after me and moved from my grasp.

"Yeah Kells?" He asked and yawned.

Kellin turned the doorknob trying to open it but thankfully the door was locked. "Is everything okay?" He asked.

"Yeah. I must have accidentally locked my door last night." Jack lied as he quickly threw his pajamas back on. I followed his lead and put my clothes on too. "I'll come let you in." Jack told Kellin.

"Alex, go to the closet." He whispered and pointed to his closet door.

"What? Why?" I complained.

"I don't want Kellin to know you slept here. He's going to think we had sex."

"But we did have sex." I chuckled.

"Well yeah but I don't want him to know. This isn't how I want him to find out we're back together." He said and I rolled my eyes.

"I spent the first sixteen years of my life in a closet so what's five more minutes?" I said, making Jack chuckle, and went to hide in Jack's closet.

Jack made sure the closet door was closed before going to open his door for Kellin. I couldn't hear what they were saying because the closet was far from the door so I just had to wait. Thankfully I brought my phone in with me so I wouldn't be bored.

I scrolled through Facebook while I waited for Jack to come get me. Fifteen minutes went by before I heard anything from him.

Jack

We're in the kitchen eating breakfast so quietly go out the front door.

Alex

No goodbye kiss??

Delivered 11:54pm

Jack

Lol I'll give it to you later when we meet up with my Mom and May for dinner.

Read 11:55pm

Alex

Ugh I forgot about that. Alright I'm going now. I'll see you tonight.

Delivered 11:55pm

I slowly made my way out of Jack's closet and made sure I wasn't forgetting anything. Then I walked out of his room and tip-toed into the living room. I peeked around the corner and saw Kellin's back was facing me. He didn't see when I walked out, but Kylie did.

"Dad!" She happily exclaimed. I quickly got down behind the couch before Kellin could turn around.

"What are you talking about Kyls? Your dad isn't here." Jack told her and chuckled nervously.

"Dad!" I heard her call out to get my attention.

"Kylie no one’s there." I heard Kellin say.

I definitely wasn't going to be able to move with Kylie drawling attention to me. Maybe I could just come out and we could tell Kellin right now. I pulled out my phone to ask Jack if we should just get it over with.

"Kylie no! Come back and finish your food." Jack said getting up from his seat. Kylie was at my side before he could stop her.

"Dad!" She said and gave me a big hug. I chuckled and Jack put his face in his hands.

"What are you doing here?" Kellin walked over and asked. "Did you spend the night? That's why your door was locked isn't it?!" He asked excitedly.

"Okay yes you caught us." Jack said.

"Why didn't you tell me??"

"I wanted to tell you sometime soon. I just didn't want you to find out like this." Jack said, gesturing to me still on the floor after trying to sneak out of his room.

"This is kind of awkward, but I'm still happy! My parents are back together!!"

"I'm happy Jack decided to give me a second chance." I said and stood up. "Hopefully your grandma and Aunt May can do the same." I sighed.

"I'm sure they'll be open-minded tonight. After all, tonight's dinner is all their idea." Jack said and I nodded. I was still nervous about having dinner with them. They're probably just going to judge me the entire time and then tell Jack that he shouldn't be with me.

"You're having dinner with Aunt May and Grandma?" Kellin asked.

"Yeah they're making Jack bring me over for dinner tonight. It's probably a trap to get me to come over so they can finally kill me." I joked and Jack hit my arm.

"They're not trying to kill you. If they wanted to they wouldn't need an excuse. They're just trying to make sure you've really changed and that you're not going to hurt me again." He told me.

"You know I would never do anything to hurt you ever again." I said and he nodded.

"Yeah I know, but they don't. So you can use tonight to prove it to them too."

"I'll try my best."

******

"Shit shit shit." I mumbled as Jack rang his mom's doorbell.

"Shh you'll be fine." He said, while rubbing my back. It felt soothing but my heartbeat wasn't slowing down.

I heard the door being unlocked and then Joyce opened it. She smiled at Jack and hugged him.

"Hi you're right on time. I just took dinner out of the oven." She told him.

"Um hi Joyce." I said trying not to show how scared I was.

"Hi Alex." She said. Joyce walked back to the kitchen and Jack and I stepped in. I looked at Jack worriedly and he kissed me on the cheek.

"Just convince them like you convinced me." He whispered. It took more than one day to get Jack to trust me again so it was going to take one day to get his family more time too. I nodded anyways to make him happy.

We walked into the kitchen where May was already sitting. She looked just as nervous as I did for some reason.

"Hey May." Jack said and went over to hug her. She hugged him back and he sat across from her, which meant that I would have to sit across from Joyce.

"Hi May." I said as I sat down.

"Hey Alex." She said, giving me a polite smile.

Joyce sat out plates of food down in front of us before taking her seat. I made sure to thank her like Jack and May did. I looked down at my chicken to see if there was anything weird about it. It didn't look poisoned so I cut a piece off and placed it on my fork. I quickly blessed my food in my mind just in case and took a bite. It was really good, if it was poisoned I couldn't taste it.

"Alex, Jack tells me you two have been going to counseling." Joyce said to me.

"Yes, yeah um Dr. Pope has helped Jack and I work through our problems." I told her.

"Did she also teach you to keep it in your pants?" She asked making my stomach clinch.

"Mom." Jack stated.

"I'm just joking. . . Kind of." She smiled.

"She um doesn't specialize in that, no." I answered quietly.

"Mhmm so how exactly did counseling work? How do I know that you won't cheat on my son again?"

"Joyce, I love Jack more than I love life. Actually Jack is my life, and after seeing how much I've hurt him after cheating I can't imagine ever doing it again."

"I just have this feeling that since Jack is taking you back you'll think that he'll forgive you later on if you cheat again." She told me. I could tell she was really worried that I would hurt Jack again.

"No it’s not like that at all. Trying to get Jack to back was the hardest thing I've ever done in my life. And forgiving me was probably the hardest thing he's ever had to do so I don't think he could ever do it a second time. I wouldn't even make him." I felt Jack's hand on my leg. He rubbed up and down to let me know I was doing fine.

"Well obviously I don't know if Jack is making the right decision by trusting you again. I don't know if I'm fully okay with it yet, but Jack's a smart boy and he wouldn't take you back if he didn't think you've changed for the better. So I'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt right now. But if it ever happens again, if my son spends another day crying on my shoulder because you've cheated, or even if Jack tells me that he's suspicious of you cheating again, I'll make sure Joe makes your life a living hell." It didn't even sound like she was threatening me. She made it sound so polite.

"Okay." I squeaked.

"Mom please, you're scaring him." Jack complained.

"I'm finished, I'm finished. I just wanted to make sure there are no misunderstandings." She waved him off and he rolled his eyes.

I nervously ate more of my food to keep myself from crawling into a ball of the floor. I just wanted this dinner to be over with. I wanted to go home and cuddle with Jack.

"May, why are you so quiet?" Jack asked her.

"No reason." She said while looking down at her plate.

"Are you sure?" He asked her and she sighed.

"Promise you won't get mad?" She asked.

"What is it??" Jack questioned.

"I accidentally told Joe." She mumbled.

"You what?!?" He yelled at her.

"I accidentally told him. He asked me what I was doing today and I let it slip out that I was having dinner with you and Alex and then he made me tell him everything. I'm so sorry." She said. I immediately lost my appetite after hearing that. Joe told me to stay away from Jack and I didn't listen. Now he was probably going to hurt me like he promised.

"May you promised you wouldn't tell him!!"

"It was an accident I swear!"

“Jack maybe this is a good thing.” Joyce said.

"He's going to kill me." I panicked.

"He'll probably just want to talk to you too." May said, trying to get me not worry.

"No I saw him on Valentine's Day and he told me that if I didn't stay away from Jack he would kill me." I gulped.

"Oh...yeah Joe does have a bit of a tamper." She said.

"Well is he comi-?" Jack was cut off by the doorbell.

"Don't worry I won't let him do anything to Alex since this is all my fault." May promised. There was no way she would be able to stop him. I just accepted that I'm now a deadman.

"Don't worry, I'll go get the door and calm him down." Joyce said. She stood up and went to go get the door.

"Where is he?" I heard Joe ask Joyce.

"Joseph stop it" She called after him. He quickly came into the kitchen where we were sitting. His eyes landed on me and he pulled me out of my seat.

"Joe stop! Leave him alone!" Jack yelled at him.

"What'd I'd say would happen if you didn't stay away from him?" He asked me. He pressed me against a wall so I couldn't move.

"Joe please let me explain." I pleaded. I didn't want to fight with him, it would only make this situation worse.

"Get off of him!" Jack tried to pull Joe away from me, but it wasn’t much help. Joe pushed him away and punched me in the face on the same side Austin hit me. I fell to the ground and he stepped away from me. Joyce and May pulled him back to make sure he wouldn't hit me again.

"What the hell is wrong with you?!?" Jack shouted.

"I warned him what would happen if he didn’t stay away from you. And do you not remember how hurt you were after finding out he cheated?? You spent twenty years with this guy and he cheated on you and you're just gonna forgive him this fast!!" Joe yelled at Jack as Jack kneeled down to help me. "He doesn't deserve you. And mom raised you to have more respect for yourself. You don’t need him Jack!"

"I love him!" Jack yelled at him.

"He obviously doesn't love you! What kind of person could cheat multiple time on someone that they promised to love?!"

"Fuck you!" Jack yelled at him. I didn’t want their relationship to get any worse because of me. I stood up ready to leave and Jack helped me out of the house without saying another word to anyone in the house. We walked all the way back to his car and he helped me in the passenger seat. I pressed my face to my throbbing face and sighed. I, once again, was going to have to go to work with a bruise on my face. My other one was almost finished healing.

Jack got in on the driver's seat and started the car. He quickly drove away from his mom's house and back home.

"I'm so sorry Lex, are you okay?" He sniffled.

"Jack it's okay. It's not your fault." I said and he shook his head. I reached over to wipe his eyes but his tears were falling to fast. "Pull over. I don't want you driving like this." I said and he nodded. He drove us over to a parking lot and parked the car. I reached over to hug him and he cried into my chest. He was more upset over this than I was, but I was kind of expecting that to happen.

"Shhhh it's okay." I whispered and rubbed his back.

"I should be the one consoling you." He mumbled.

"I'm fine, just a little bruised that's all."

"This is the second time I've caused you to get punched." He said and cried even more. I couldn’t help but chuckling at that. "It's not funny." He added.

"Jack, I'd take a million punches for you." I told him and he looked up at me.

"I love you."

"I love you too." I said and kissed him. He kissed me on the cheek afterwards and I winced in pain.

"Oh sorry, I'm gonna go in that gas station to get some ice for your face." He told me and I nodded.

He wiped his eyes as best as he could and got out. I looked at myself in the mirror while I waited. My cheek was back to a bright reddish-purple. I smiled to myself and laid back in my seat. Sure I had just taken another punch to the face, but I still had Jack.

Notes

Sorry about making Alex get punched again lol there's no more violence from this point on. There should only be two chapters left but I feel like I'm leaving something out. If so I'll just add one more chapter!
