Alex's POV

I look over at John, asleep still. He looks so peaceful when he's sleeping, so beautiful. I can't imagine how he looks so calm though, I know I certainly don't feel it. It's been a week since those things came about, saying that we faked our relationship.

We haven't done anything about it yet though, we don't know what to do. And now it's spiralling out of control. It got so bad it's all anyone's asking us. So we said no comment, but then decided to stay home.

We can't even go outside.

The whole situation is so stressing, it makes me want to cry. And scream. And I have done both, on different occasions. I don't know what we're meant to do.

I slowly tuck a stand of hair behind his ear, my finger jarring slightly at the thoughts. No, don't think about that now Alex. Just... enjoy the moment.

Forget.

Forget about it for now.

I tilt my head slightly, still gazing at John. I want to kiss him. Maybe I should. It might wake him up. But, that might be nice. I don't know.

Fuck it.

I lean in slightly, until our lips are centimetres away, but I hesitate. A small red creeps onto my cheeks and I look away. Oh god, no I can't do this.

Suddenly, one of John's eyes snap open, sparkling as a sly smile spreads across his face. "Well, if you won't do it, I will." He whispers, before kissing me softly.

When he eventually pulls away, I feel my face burn a bright red and I grab a pillow and hit his face with it.

"Hey! What was that for?" He protests.

"That's for making me embarrassed," I hit him again, "And that's because I love you, you dumbass."

He rolls his eyes, though his grin is still prominent on his face. That grin still fucking gives me butterflies.

"Dumbass." He mutters lovingly, kissing me again.

"Hey, I already said dumbass, you can't use that."

"I love you too, dumbass."

time skip brought to u by im act rlly said its gonna be over as in i might cry

John paces up and down, biting his nails, Ria on speaker on his phone. I sit in my chair, spinning around slightly, running my hands through my hair and bouncing my leg up and down. I hate being stressed. It's not fair.

Everything's gone bad again. You'll never fucking guess who got involved.

That's right. Thomas fucking Jefferson.

He posted this dumb thing, linking one of the articles and tagging John, saying @ LaurensInThePlaceToBe (pretend tehres not a space i didnt want to accidently tag someone) whats this??? explain plz
