Chapter 8
Alex
Moving to Baltimore Maryland was the best kinda change for me. Ive only know Jack about a week, and I feel like were a new couple. Maybe because we are. Well almost. I made my way to the park today to meet Jack and ask him to be my boyfriend.
But of course not everything goes as planed.
As I was walking past an alley to get to the park I was pulled aside. I was being held down by this unknown person. "Get the fuck off me asshole!" I yelled. "Shut the fuck up Faggot!". I knew that voice. It belonged to Garret. "I'm giving you one and only one chance" he said. "Eaither you stop talking to Jack or I'll bet the shit outta him one day to when he won't wake up." My eyes grew wide in horror. Would Garret really kill Jack?! "Why are you doing this?" I asked. "Because you don't need a suicidal fag get you down. You need me. " he said. I pulled myself outta Garrets reach and tears started to flow. "Alright if it means Jacks safe I'll leave him alone." I choked out. "Good." Garret said as he exited the alley.
I continued my walk to the park with a different though on my mind than before. This is really it? I don't know how I'm going to do this. Whatever way to make sure he's safe. I love Jack. I can't let him disappear like Tom.
I reached the park about 3 mins. Later. As soon as I saw Jacks face the tears started to flow. " Whats wrong Lex?" he said with a conserned face. "Jack, we can't be together. We can't see each other. And I can't like you. " I said as sternly as possible. He stared at me and I could see the pain I caused in his eyes. "Alex why? No you can't just leave me like this. I lov-" he said but I cut him off. "I don't wanna be with you! Your a useless Faggot! Just leave me alone!" I yelled. And turned around walking in the other direction. I just couldn't look back and see the pain I caused. It was for his own good. As much as it might have hurt him, it hurt me too. Nothing left to do now but turn around, and walk away.
