Life isn't a fashion statement.

Eric's POV
Me, Jack, Alex and Rowan decided to go down to the bar and have a couple of drinks and have a catch up since it's been a while since we've seen each other and a lot has happened since then.
Alex was sat on Jacks lap since the bar here had really comfy seats and it was set a bit away from the bar so we could talk and not worry about people listening in.
"You sure you want to marry Jack?" Rowan asked and we all looked at him with a 'you got to be joking' look on our faces.
"If I wasn't sure then I wouldn't of said yes, but since I did say yes I'm pretty sure I want to marry him. So get used to seeing my face brother." Alex said with a smirk on his face and I looked down and had a chuckle to myself.
"What do you actually see in him?" Rowan asked and I elbowed him hard in the ribs.
"Bit rude to talk about your brother like that considering I'm sat on him." Alex said seriously.
"And for the record, I find Jack attractive, funny, kind, supportive and loads of other things, the list is literally endless. He has also supported me when I really needed someone and Jack could of gone fuck this I'm out but he didn't. He stuck by me when I need him. He accepts the fact I have mental health problems, he accepts the fact I'm currently in relapse, he accepts that as long as he can come home to find me alive then he is happy. Jack has been trying to help me recover but as we all know I am stubborn so Jack is putting a lot of hard work into trying to help me." Alex said.
"You've relapsed? In what?" I asked because I didn't have a clue what was wrong with Alex.
"I'm anorexic, have been since I was 16." Alex said and he looked down.
"Its just a sob story." Rowan said and Alex looked at him hard and he stood up and lifted his top up and he was really skinny and he has lost loads of weight since I last saw him.
"Now tell me how looking like this is a sob story." Alex said seriously and sat back down on Jacks lap.
Alex also rolled his sleeves up and he had new scars on his arms.
"Having a mental illness is not a sob story. It's fucking horrible, not just for me but for Jack as well. You fucking think he wants to be seeing me this skinny? You think he wants to be sat at work worried wether I'm going to fucking kill myself at home? So don't you fucking dare say it's a sob story and it's my way of making sure Jack doesn't leave me, because it's not. Jack loves me and I love Jack. So for once in your fucking life just be happy for him. Now I need a fucking drink." Alex said and stood up and walked towards the bar.
Jack and Alex was drunk and was both dancing and laughing at each other.
"Just what is your problem Rowan?" I asked and Rowan looked at me.
"I don't know, I just don't want Jack to make a mistake and end up getting hurt." Rowan said.
"Just look at how happy them two are. You can see how much they love each other, Jack is 26 years old Row. Jack wants to settle down with Alex, just let him do that. Also you need to try and get along with Alex." I said and Rowan looked over to Jack and Alex who was kissing each other and slow dancing to this song.
"He's happy with him isn't he?" Rowan asked.
"I haven't seen him this happy since James, even with James he was never this happy." I said and Rowan hummed in agreement.
"You know Alex hasn't been that happy either." Some girl said and joined us.
She was heavily tattooed with bright red hair.
"I'm sorry but who are you?" Rowan asked.
"I'm Quinn that's my fiancé Beth over there talking to Alex and Jack." Quinn said and we looked and saw another tattooed girl.
"So your..." Rowan started.
"Gay, yes I am very gay." Quinn finished Rowan's sentence.
"So how do you know Alex and Jack then?" I asked.
"Alex is my best friend. So whoever Alex is with is also my friend and Jack also helped me and Beth out of a hole so Jack is more than a friend to us." Quinn said and had some of her drink.
"What was you saying about Alex?" I asked.
"Look, them two are happy together. They get each other. In my eyes as long as they get each other and they love each other and are happy together we shouldn't intervene. Let them just enjoy being engaged and let them be happy when they marry each other and just support them through their life together." Quinn said and I looked at Rowan.
"Alex has had a shit childhood and the last couple of years has also been really shitty for him. He is truly happy with Jack and I can see that Jack is really happy with Alex. If you can't see how deeply in love they are then you might as well just walk away." Quinn said and she got up and walked over to the girl who was talking to Alex and Jack and the girls walked off.
"Rowan you either support them or you lose Jack it's your choice." I said and got up and went over to Jack and Alex and told them I was calling it a night and I went back to mine and Kats hotel room and just cuddled up to Kat who was asleep since it was late.
Notes
Someone else's point of view.. anyone actually reading this hunk of shit or not or am I just wasting my time...
I don't think so! It's well written, nothing much happens but it doesn't have to be super dramatic all the time. I like it :)
