Time Bomb

Chapter 14- Just like runaways

Jacks P.O.V.

Walking back into mamas house to see her light off. Alex stumbled into the house causing it to shake. "Shhh!" I hushed letting go of him and looking around. Looking at him I could see his eyes puffing up. "Ugh Alex, I'll get you some tea bags for your eyes and if you want anything, you know where it is." I mumbled, defeated. I turned and went to the kitchen trying to not make anymore noise than what I already have. I finally found the tea bags and went back to the living room, checking my grandmas room to see if she hasn't woken up. Giving Alex the tea bags, I said "Please leave when you wake up. I don't want to see, hear, or talk to you anymore." I flicked the light off still holding onto the light switch. I sighed and just walked out of the room, not turning around although I heard soft cries. It's okay to not feel bad, right? He did me wrong. He cause so many things to go wrong in my life. I didn't realize I was crying until I was laying down in the guest bedroom staring at the ceiling until I fell asleep.

I woke up the next morning to faint singing and the smell of breakfast. Walking downstairs I saw the couch empty and no trace of Alex. To be honest, I was a little disappointed. My heart hurt from everything that happened last night. All of Alex's crying and begging. I just can't let him in again, I can't. I walked into the kitchen to see mama making breakfast. "Good morning, Jack." She says without turning around. "I saw Alex leaving this morning. Why? What's going on?" "Nothing mama. It's nothing that needs talking about." She just make a "hmm" noise and continued cooking. She never questions anything if you tell her that you REALLY don't want to talk about it. "You should get going, Jack." Mama said after breakfast. Packing my stuff I look at the table next to the bed. My heart started hurting when I saw a "Family" photo with all of my family... And Alex's.

Monday at school I closed my locker and looked down the hallway to see Alex thinking he's so cool while looking at me. He's trying so hard to be a "badass" but it's really not working. He came up to me with his asshole friends saying " Whatsup, Fag?" Like seriously? Fag? Out of all the insults he could have come up with he chose the most BASIC one. But yet it still hurt my heart, feeling like a knife went through me. "Leave me the HELL alone, gaskarth." I said angrily. I don't know where all of this confidence has came from. Maybe because I know his secret, he's gay. And he's in love with me. His eyes screamed "I'm sorry". Alex just shook his head and pushed me up against the locker grabbing my collar and holding me up. "Meet me after school. We're fighting."
