Jack’s POV
I walked to school with Justin when I spotted Alex with his sisters.
Justin was blabbering on about something and I couldn’t be bothered to listen to him any longer.
“Hey, I’ll see you after class okay.” I said as I walked off and headed over to Alex and his sisters.
“Hey you.” I said and all 3 of them looked at me.
“What the fuck do you want?” Alex said sarcastically and both his sisters looked at him and looked back at me.
“Ignore him, he decided to get stupidly high last night and had to get up and go to school.” The one with pink hair said.
“Gonna take a lot more than a come down to get rid of me.” I said and Alex scoffed and stepped forwards.
“Run along back to your friends Jack.” Alex said seriously and he turned around and put his hood up and walked off.
“Alex!” The blonde hair girl shouted after him and Alex stuck his middle finger up which made both the girls sigh loudly and look at me.
“Wow someone is hella grumpy today.” I said and the girls smiled slightly.
“Someone obviously can’t handle the late night smokes anymore.” The pink haired girl said and the blonde one looked at her.
“Leave him alone, anyway you, can you keep an eye on our very grumpy little brother for us?” The blonde hair girl said and I nodded.
“Yeah I can do that.” I said and the bell went.
“Cool if you loose him then your dead.” The pink hair girl said and they walked off and I sighed and I went to tutor.
I was sat in music where there wasn’t any sign of Alex so I got up and walked over to the teacher.
“Do you know where Alex is?” I asked and the teacher looked at me with a frown.
“I do know where he is, but why should I tell you?” The teacher said and I sighed.
“I’m just trying to be a friend and I’m just worried about him.” I said and the teacher smiled at me.
“He’s in one of the soundproof rooms.” The teacher said and I smiled and went to the soundproof rooms.
I knocked on the door and opened it where Alex was sat on the floor actually doing work for once.
“Hey you.” I said as I walked in and shut the door behind me and sat on the floor while Alex looked at me.
“Okay I know that I’m following you and all that crap but I am generally scared of your sisters and god knows what they do to me if I lost you.” I said and Alex smiled as he stood up and went over to the piano and pressed one of the keys.
“And I’m really worried about you as well.” I said as Alex sat down.
“You don’t have to worry about me.” Alex said quietly as he started to play and I got up and sat next to him.
“You play beautifully, how did you learn?” I said and Alex smiled a sad smile.
“Me, Nala and Rowe had to learn to play the piano and then once we got to a certain level on playing the piano then we was allowed to choose another instrument to play. Like I can play piano, guitar and just to put a bit of gayness in the mix I can also play the flute.” Alex said and I chuckled.
“But I’m terrible at the flute, so I never admit to playing it. Whereas Rowe is amazing at playing it.” Alex said and I chuckled.
“So how come you have a normal name and yet your sisters have very unique names?” I asked and Alex chuckled.
“My nan was Irish and Rowe is a Irish name I think and everyone liked the lion king so that’s how Nala got her name.” Alex said and I chuckled.
“What about you, any siblings?” Alex asked as he quietly started to play the piano.
“Yeah, I have an older brother called Eric.” I said and Alex smiled a little.
“Loving the name.” Alex chuckled.
“Where’s your dad? It’s just you and your sisters and mum.” I asked and Alex sighed.
“It’s a long story but my dad isn’t part of our lives and is in England. Let’s just say the things he did where pretty horrible and horrific.” Alex said quietly and I put my hand on his leg which made Alex look at me.
“If it makes you any better my dad was in the army and someone killed him.” I said and Alex smiled softly at me.
“I’m sorry about your dad Jack.” Alex said quietly.
“Thanks Alex.” I said as I looked at him.
We sat in silence for a couple of seconds before Alex started to play the piano and I just sat there and watched him make it look like it was effortless.
Alex invited me to sit with him and his group of friends which I took the offer but I said I was going to meet him there as I needed to put something in my locker, Justin also happened to of followed me to my locker.
“Just because you have a bloody problem with him doesn’t mean you can choose who I can and can’t hang around with.” I said as I shut my locker door and looked at Justin who was leaning on the locker next to mine.
“I’m only saying it so you don’t get hurt by him.” Justin said and I rolled my eyes at him as I scoffed.
“Maybe you should let me learn that then.” I said and Justin rolled his eyes.
“He will just use you for sex, that boy isn’t capable of loving anything.” Justin said and I sighed as that was a horrible thing to say.
“How do you know, yes he fucking used your for sex but maybe there is a reason behind the whole having sex with different people, a story which nobody knows and maybe he doesn’t want to get close to anyone because he is afraid he will get hurt. People cope in different ways, obviously Alex’s way of coping is through sex.” I said and Justin scoffed.
“Why are you sticking up for him? You barely know him and he isn’t a nice person.” Justin said and I shook my head.
“Because everyone deserves a chance and I am giving Alex that chance and if you don’t like it then you can just fuck off okay. I don’t need you following me around like you are a fucking lost dog.” I said as I shut my locker and looked at Justin.
“Also one thing you should know about me if you really want to know, I happen to also really like sex as well so if Alex wants to use me for sex then he can knock himself out because I will probably want it as well.” I said quietly as I walked off and went to the school field to meet Alex.
“Wasn’t expecting you to show.” Alex said as I walked up to him.
“Justin needs to learn how to let go and stop being like a fucking lost dog.” I said and Alex chuckled as he smiled.
“Knew you weren’t like them.” Alex said as he offered me a cigarette which I took and I lite my cigarette and gave Alex my lighter.
“I’ve always been in the popular group, like to be part of something or getting into trouble.” I said and I blew some smoke out my nose.
“I could tell.” Alex said as we walked to his group of friends.
We sat down and this girl was all over Alex as soon as he sat down which made me look down and feel like a bit of a tit as I was slowly starting to catch feelings for him a little.
“Fuck off Tilly, I’m gay what part of that don’t you bloody understand.” Alex said as he pushed the girl off him and he looked at me and I smiled slightly at him.
“Who are you?” The girl who was all over Alex bluntly asked.
“Why the fuck should I tell you.” I said bluntly back and the girl just glared at me which I returned.
“Guys this is Jack, you know the kid I was on about that Justin wouldn’t let near me.” Alex said and I frowned at him as everyone clicked onto what Alex was saying.
“He’s finally let you off the leash?” Some boy asked.
“I’d like to think that it’s more along the lines of he can still be a friend but respecting the people I choose to hang around with.” I said and Alex and this boy chuckled.
“Mate trust us, Justin won’t leave you alone until you physically punch his lights out and tell him to back the fuck off.” Alex’s friend said and I frowned at him.
“Oh great cant be dealing with that shit, my ex was a clingy piece of shit and my brother beat him up that bad he ended up in hospital.” I said and frowned as I thought about Drew.
“Well remind us not to get on your bad side.” The boy chuckled and Alex looked at me with a smile on his face.
“Doubt he’s even got a bad side if you treat him right.” Alex said and I just frowned at him and Alex smirked and winked at me.
“Anyway I need to go and get some stuff for this afternoon.” I said as I stood up and Alex looked at me and I smiled and headed back towards my locker and got my stuff for the afternoon.
I was walking home when I looked up and saw Eric which made me sigh loudly.
“It’s not what it seems I promise.” Eric said and I frowned at him.
“I’ve just been to a interview and I have the job. Jack things are on the up.” Eric said and I smiled at him.
“That’s amazing Eric.” I said happily and Eric smiled.
“How’s mum?” I asked quietly.
“She’s okay Jack. Quiet but that’s nothing for mum.” Eric said and I sighed and I saw Eric frown and I turned and saw Alex and his sisters.
“Is that the little creep which makes you follow him around and refuses to admit he just wants some of your ass and not let you make your own friends?” Eric asked and I shook my head.
“Nope, that’s the one I’m hoping he wants in my pants.” I said and Eric rolled his eyes at me and frowned.
“And the girls?” Eric said.
“His sisters.” I said and Eric looked and was eyeing up Alex’s sisters.
“Hey, stop eyeballing his sisters and stop thinking about your dick.” I said and Eric raised a eyebrow at me.
“And your not thinking about your dick?” Eric asked and I turned round and went over to Alex and his sisters.
“So how do you feel like coming round? I need another male in the house, all the hormones in the house are driving me crazy.” Alex said and I chuckled.
“Sure I’ll come over and keep you company.” I said and looked at Eric.
“I’ll be home at 10.” I said loud enough for Eric to hear me and he shook his head and walked off.
“So who was that?” Alex asked.
“That’s my brother.” I said and Alex pulled a face and looked to check Eric’s ass out.
“Got a tight ass on him.” Alex said and one of Alex’s sisters slapped his chest and Alex looked at them.
