Life isn't a fashion statement.

Jacks POV

Me and Alex was at the hospital and Alex was holding onto my life for dear life and I was silently hoping his family wasn't there because I did want Alex to have some time with his nan no matter what his family said.

We got to the room and Alex looked at me.
"My brother is in there." He said quietly and I looked at him confused.
"Thought you only had a sister?" I asked.
"I did, but I also have a brother who absolutely hates me along with the rest of my family." Alex said quietly.
"I'll be right beside you." I said and Alex smiled a little and we walked in the room.
Luckily it was just Alex's brother in his room apart from his nan.

"What the fuck are you doing here? And who the fuck is he?" Alex brother spat and stood up and walked over to us.
"I'm here to see Nan and this is my boyfriend." Alex said and his brother scoffed.
"Please, bet he's one of them people you sleep around with and then you claim that its your boyfriend when really their just there so you can prove to us that you are loveable which your not." His brother said and I looked at Alex who looked hurt.
"I am his boyfriend and I am not a fling so I suggest you don't talk to your brother like that." I said and Alex's brother scoffed again.
"That piece of shit is not my brother." He said.
"I just want to see nan and say my goodbyes to her that's all I want Mason. She is my nan just as much as she is yours." Alex said.
"But unlike you I didn't walk out on my family." Mason said.
"I didn't fucking walk out. I was kicked out." Alex said.
"Yeah like I can believe that. You fucking left when Alice died! You left us. All because you are a slut who can't keep his legs shut and a druggie who couldn't wait to get his next hit." Mason said.
"You know fucking nothing. Let me say goodbye to nan and then I'll never bother you again." Alex said.
"No. You need to get the fuck out if here before I get someone to drag you out of here." Mason said.
"Can't he just at least have half an hour with her." I said and Mason looked at me with a glare.
"No." Mason said seriously.
"Respect your elders Mason, since I am a year old than you I think you need to get the fuck out of here and let me spend some time with her before she dies!" Alex said and glared at Mason.
"I don't respect druggies and sluts." Mason growled.
"You know what this was a mistake, let's go Jack." Alex said sadly and went to turn round but I stopped him.
"If you leave now you'll regret this form the rest if your life." I said.
"My life is already full of regrets, why should it stop there." Alex said quietly and walked out the room.
I looked at Mason.
"You might not care about him but I do. Just let him see here for 15 minutes. He wants to do something right for a change." I said and Mason rolled his eyes at me.
"Alex has never done anything right." Mason said.
"He's done right but people like you are unable to see from his mistakes. He has changed." I said.
"He is not seeing my nan. It was his choice to leave my family. So he will be treat like a outsider." Mason said.
"Fine, if my partner kills himself because of this I'm blaming you." I said and walked out the room and Alex looked at me and I shook my head and Alex looked down.
I walked over and pulled him into a hug.
"I'm sorry I couldn't do anything." I said quietly and kissed the top of his head.
"Its fine, I knew that I wouldn't see her but it was worth a try." Alex sniffed.
I sighed and held him close to me.
We went to walk off when the door opened which made us both look round and Mason was stood there.
"I'll let you see her." He said and Alex smiled and we walked backed over to the door.
"You won't tell will you?" Alex asked and Mason shook his head.
"Everyone deserve to say goodbye. No matter much they fuck up." Mason said and Alex smiled and walked in the room.
I decided to give Alex some space so I sat on one of the chairs opposite the room while Mason stood there and looked at me.

Mason walked over and sat a couple of seats away from me.
"Thanks for looking after Alex." Mason said and I looked at him.
"The reason our parents threw him out was because he was gay and enjoyed sex and drugs way too much and he decided to drop out of school for that life. But Alex kept so many things from us. You'll learn that as you go along. Alex is very good at keeping secrets, but I see the way he is around you. He's happy and he trusts you. I'm glad you could make my brother happy again even if I have to bitter towards him." Mason said.
"You don't have to be bitter towards him." I said and Mason smiled sadly.
"Some things aren't meant to be fixed. Mine and Alex's relationship will never be fixed. There's too much damage between us to be fixed." Mason said.
"But.." I started but Mason shook his head.
"There have been things said and neither of us can forgive. Just don't try to fix things between us. It'll only push Alex away and I don't want that because I know he is now finally happy with his life. So I want you to forget that we have even spoken." Mason said and got up.
I just nodded and got up as well.
"You should get Alex and tell him that he's not welcomed back." Mason said quietly.
"But want about the funeral?" I asked.
"Alex isn't welcomed. He's dead to me and my family now. I just need to know you'll look after him for me." Mason said and looked at me and there was a hint of sadness in his eyes.
"It doesn't have to be like this." I said.
"Jack, its for the best. I don't want to be part of this family anymore. My reason for being part of this family is dying. I have said my goodbyes and I am never showing my face." Alex said from the door and we both looked at him.
"But your missing out in so much." I said.
"I don't care. As long as I have you, Quinn and Beth that's all I need. You three are my family." Alex said and walked over to me.
"Just make sure Nan has a good send off." Is aid to Mason who nodded.
"Oh and I want my birthday present what Nan made me when I was little as well." I said seriously to Mason.
"I'll look for it but where do you want me to put it?" Mason asked.
"You know where Quinn lives. Give it to her and she'll give it to me." Alex said and turned round and we both walked off home.

When we got home it was 5 in the morning and Alex had gotten himself a bottle of wine and was sat outside drinking it lost in thought.
My mind was rushing round with everything Mason had said and I looked at Alex and smiled to myself knowing that at some point in time Alex would say what happened between himself and his family.
I walked outside and sat next to Alex and cuddled into his side.
"Your brother is a twat." I said and Alex chuckled.
" That's him. The family favourite which means he is a twat." Alex said quietly.
"Hey, I'm the family favourite and I'm not a twat." I said and Alex smiled as he looked at me.
"But your my twat." Alex said with a pout.
"And don't I know it." I said and kissed him.
Alex smiled and we shared the bottle of wine and watched the sunrise and then went to bed.
