High school- lams

Chapter 8

John POV

Things have been horrible at school, especially for Alex, and I mean it's only been 2 days. He's being insulted beat up and slut shamed, on top of that his grades have been falling Cuz he hasn't had time to do homework snd burr won't do it for him.

We're currently at his place just watching a movie. I look over to Alex and see him crying. I take his hand "Lex?" I question

"My whole life as fallen apart John... I worked so hard to get on top. Im a bastard, orphan and son of a whore I have no family snd I had to write pages and pages just to get to New York.. I did everything I could just to be someone with at least a little worth in high school. But now it's all gone, and it's all pointless" he says quietly.

Wow.. I had no idea he had no family, I had no idea about any of that. I move close to him and just hug him without  saying anything

He hugs me back and cries into my shoulder after a few minutes I speak up "it's not pointless.. and it's not gone, we're gonna get you back on top ok? I promise"

He looks at me confused "that's not possible, now everyone knows Im gay they won't have the same respect every again."

"I want you to break up with me- but not a real break up.. tomorrow at school, make sure everyone's there, yell at me, insult me, make sure you say it was all just a lie to humiliate me, and then hit me and go back to Jefferson and Madison"

"No! No I can't do that. You're the only one that's always given me a second chance and been here for me I'm not doing that to you"  he says firmly

"Alex I want you to do this.. it'll be for us. You deserve to be on top, and I'll know you don't mean any of it. Please lexi.. I can't stand you getting bullied"

He sighs "fine... but I'm not going to hit you.. and I want you to say you're sick and go home after that do you don't get hurt by anyone"

"Ok.." I agree the put my hand on his cheek "you're so sweet" I kiss him softly. It's not like I'm happy he'll be insulting me and stuff.. but I am happy he's gonna be happy after it.

The next day
Alex POV

Me and John walked into school, everyone's looking at as as usual. When we get into the main area I look at John, he nods snd smiles a bit.

I sigh and pull my hand away from his. If it was up to me I wouldn't be doing this, but it seems to make him happy.  I look around and see everyone still looking at us.

"Alex? What's wrong?" He asks, like we said he would. He goes to take my hand again but I gently slap it away

"You little bitch, did you really think I loved you? Do you really think anyone could love you?" I laugh "you're pathetic and gullible, it's sad"

I feel horrible about this. He looks so sad "w-what.. but you said I could trust you and you wouldn't lie to me me.."

"You are such an idiot. It's like you never learn, no one loves you , and they never will, you're not even attractive, and  I think I should be offended that you think I'm a F*g like you. Thats fucking disgusting, and when you go to hell I hope you remember that it was your choice to be this disappointing"

I look around, people look confused but also kinda entertained. These people are horrible. Jefferson walks up behind me "so you were just messing with this slut?" He asks, pushing John to the ground. I hate every part of this, I don't want John to be hurt.

"Obviously, are you all really that stupid to think that I would actually like this ugly, piece of shit? Honestly I couldn't care less if he lived or died" I hate that I know how to insult him. Not that I think any of it is true, I just have so much experience being a dick.

"Well if that's true, then take the his phone and break it then take the first punch" Jefferson says. I look at John. He nods a little but not enough for anyone else to see. I  kneel down and take John's phone out.

"I think this would be a lot more fun if we just kept his phone to leak his photos day by day" I suggest, I'll figure out a way to not to that but I can't break his phone I know he can't afford another one.

Jefferson smirks "great idea, now punch him" I nod and put his phone in my pockets take a deep break. I'll be so gently he won't be bruh at all, I just have to make it look real. I go down to punch him but lucky someone picks him up at the last minute.
