Walking Travesty (Jalex)

Lost In Stereo

A/N: Here is an update for you lovely people <3

Alex's POV

Heart failure. I nearly had heart failure.

I read Jack's text over and over and over again. I couldn't believe what I was seeing.

This isn't real. This is a dream. Wake up, Alex. He doesn't like you like that. I pinched myself to test what the voice in my head was saying. But it was all real.

I replied as fast as I could.

To Jack:
Yes

I sucked in a breath and waited. My phone started to ring. It was Jack.

"Hello?" I answered.

"Uh.. Hi.. So, I have a question for you.." he started.

"Okay. Shoot.." I said, anxious to hear his question.

"Well.. Since you're my boyfriend now... I was wondering if.. uh.. If you wanted to come over to my house and watch a movie. You can spend the night, too." he said. He sounded nervous and it was adorable.

"Yeah! Sure... When?" I said excitedly. I had the biggest, most foolish grin on my face.

"Is tonight okay?" he asked. My stomach did a flip.

"Yeah.." I said, trying to come off as calm and collected, but I was screaming inside. I was in heaven.

"Right after school?"

"Okay." My stomach had butterflies. I was so happy.

"Okay.. I'm gonna go now... I love you." I nearly died. I was about to explode because of how excited I was.

"I love you too." I breathed out hastily. We hung up and I sighed in happiness.

Wait. He said that he loved me, and I said it back to him. Shit. He doesn't mean it. You're only in high school, it won't last. He doesn't love you. Why would he?

I shook my head to rid myself of the thoughts, but it didn't work. They kept coming back. I turned my headphones up real loud. It stopped the noise for a little bit.

Music seems to calm the voice in my head. It constantly tormented me, so music was my escape from reality. I know its probably not okay for me to hear this voice. I know its in my head but it feels so real and sounds so real. I should be in therapy. I don't know how I feel about it though. I'm not exactly good at talking, especially about my problems. I'm surprised I'm
not in therapy right now. Everyone in this town is dumb, except for maybe Jack.

I saw the school come into vision. I walked slightly faster. I wasn't even in school and I already wanted it to be over. I wanted to hang out with Jack.

I started walking across the road. Of course, I didn't look to see if there was a car coming. A car blew past me, slamming on the horn for a while. I stopped and looked at the car for a minute. The driver rolled down his window, stuck his hand out and flipped me off. Rude.

I walked the rest of the way to school unscathed and unaffected by my second near-death experience within one or two weeks.
