Life isn't a fashion statement.

Alex's POV

I groaned as I woke up as my head was pounding yet again from my drinking to much.
"Hungover?" I heard Jack chuckle.
"Just a bit." I muttered and opened my eyes and saw how close I was to Jack.
"Um, I'm sorry if I did anything stupid?" I said but it came out more of a question.
"You did nothing stupid other than drink to much again." Jack said.
"Christ you sound like my mother when I was 15 going out drinking all the time." I muttered and just hid my face in Jacks chest because I couldn't move or I would be sick.
"You was getting drunk when you was 15? Christ my mother would of killed me." Jack said.
"I started smoking when I was 12 and smoking weed when I was 13." I said and looked at Jack.
"Why?" Jack asked.
"Family and daddy problems." I said and looked down.
"Well that's shit then." Jack said and I nodded.
"Mind out I need to have a shower." Jack said and moved away from me which made me groan loudly.
"You forgot my coffee." I said and Jack looked at me.
"Look behind you and you'll find your coffee." Jack said and walked off to the bathroom.
I groaned again as I rolled over and smiled when I saw the coffee.

"You got any sunglasses?" I asked Jack and he looked at me confused.
"The bright light is literally killing me today." I said.
"No I have no sunglasses." Jack said and I head-butted his back.
"Damn you Jack." I said and walked off to put Jacks beanie on and my shoes.
"Stealing my hat?" Jack asked.
"Might as well, I think we're at the stealing clothes part of the friend zone." I said and Jack shook his head.
"I think we're at the stage where we could be a couple." Jack said.
"All in good time." I said and frowned when I looked at Jacks cheek which had a small cut from Quinns ring.
"So Quinn is in work today, I'll get her to say sorry to you." I said and gently brushed my finger over his cheek since it was still tender from Quinns slap.
"Don't, I had that slap coming." Jack said and I looked at him.
"We need to go otherwise we'll be late." Jack said and stood up and I followed behind Jack slowly as I could move fast as I felt rough as fuck.

"Jesus Alex you okay?" A girl called Gabby asked.
"Very hungover." I said and walked towards the side where there was coffee going for everyone.
"So, people are saying you and that Jack Barakat are together. Is that true?" Gabby asked.
"No we're not together. Just friends." I said and Gabby looked at me.
"Alex Gaskarth friends with a good looking guy? You really must be on the drugs or whatever." Gabby said.
I looked at her.
"Alex get here now!" Jack said loudly which made me flinch and groan.
"Good luck." Gabby asked as I walked towards Jack.
"What?" I asked while rubbing my head.
"The shots you have taken together are absolute shit." Jack said while glaring at me.
"Well I wonder why? I'm fucking hungover Jack." I said.
"And its your own fault you are hungover Alexander." Jack said and I looked at him when he called me Alexander.
"Only my family can call me Alexander and since they are dead to me I suggest you never call me that again." I growled and turned round and grabbed my bag and walked out.

I was sat at the park lost in my music and writing songs when someone sat next to me.
I looked and saw Jack.
I took my headphones off and put my stuff back in my bag.
"I'm sorry I called you Alexander today." Jack said and I looked at him.
"Never call me it again please." I said quietly.
"I won't, I'm sorry Alex." Jack said and pulled me to his side and I rested my head on his shoulder.
"You write songs?" Jack asked looking at my lyric book.
"Yeah, I wanted to be a musician but then stuff happened and I turned to other stuff and modeling instead." I said.
"Why did you do that?" Jack asked.
"Rather not talk about it." I said and put my stuff back in my bag and looked at Jack.
"You've taken me out for dates, now its my turn to take you out." I said and Jack smiled.
"Okay when I say take you put I mean, we go back to mine get a pizza on route and just watch fuck loads of films while eating pizza." I said and Jack chuckled.
"That's perfect to me." Jack said and I smiled.
"We better get going otherwise we can kiss the pizza part goodbye." I said and stood up and helped Jack up.

We was sat under the covers in my bed watching something on Netflix.
I was cuddled into Jack side since I was cold and Jack was always hot.
"You're a good hot water bottle." I said quietly since I was sort off falling asleep as Jack messed with my hair.
"Never been told that before." Jack chuckled and I moved closer to him.
"Well you have now." I muttered.
My bedroom door opened.
"Shush, he's just fallen asleep." Jack said quietly.
"Okay, see you two have kissed and made up." Quinn said quietly.
"Made up but not kissed." Jack said.
"He's a catch Jack. Better get him before someone else does." Quinn said and I guessed she walked out as my door shut which made me sigh.
"Roll onto your side." Jack said quietly and I rolled onto my side and I felt Jacks body behind me and a arm round my waist.
"Night Lex." Jack said quietly and I felt him kiss the back on my neck.
I smiled and fell into a deep sleep.
