I'm gonna bring this fic to an end soon, idk I've just lost motivation and inspriation, and I've had lots of ideas for new fics but I didn't want to start writing them whilst I still have this one. Sorry if this chapter's kind of shit, it's currently 11:56pm and I am tired as FUCK

Alex's POV
I woke up to a loud knock at my bedroom door. What the fuck? Seizing my phone from the bedside table, I checked the time.
6:00am.
An hour before my alarm! Do people not understand the importance of sleep? The next question that ran through my mind was who is banging at my door and this ungodly hour.
"Alex sweetie, time to get up for school!" My mum's voice shrilled loudly. A groan escaped my lips as I recalled yesterday's events.
"Okay mum!" I called back with fake enthusiasm, disguising the discomfort in my voice. I understand she wants to act like a better parent, but in all fairness she's just annoying.
Regardless I still climbed out of bed, stretching and yawning. I am definitely not a morning person. With fatigue clouding my movements, I ended up getting ready and the speed of a sloth. Hopefully I can make myself late for school so I can avoid everyone for a little while longer. After getting dressed I checked the time. Dammit; there's still an hour before I need to leave. Might as well grab some breakfast then.
I walked down the stairs and was assaulted by the awful smell of burning pancakes. I heard my mum running around the kitchen, cursing loudly. Honestly she tries too hard. I'm really not in any mood to see her today (or any day), but I'm starving.
You know what, I think I'll skip breakfast and just leave early. Without saying goodbye, I exited through the front door as quietly as possible. I plugged in my earphones and proceeded to blast Twenty One Pilots into my ears. I've only started listening to them recently however they are awesome.
The streets were pretty much deserted on the way to school. It would make sense though; who the hell would leave for school at 7 if it doesn't start until 9? Me, that's who. I began to walk towards the corner shop, but then reminded myself I don't walk with Jack anymore. Even just thinking about him makes my stomach feel weird. I'm so anxious about whatever he wants to talk about.
Oh my God, what if he's pregnant and it's mine!?
Yes Alex, because men definitely get pregnant. Fucking genius.
There's no point worrying about it now when there's still hours to go. I was close to the school now, but realised I was almost 2 hours early. What am I supposed to do in school for 2 hours? Despite this, I continued to walk through the school gates, taking in the not-so lively scenery. There was basically no one here, apart from some blonde girl sat on a bench outside in the front yard and a boy who had just walked inside the building. I can't believe there are people who'd arrive at this hell hole so early; what's exactly is so exciting about school at this time of the morning?
I sent a text to Hayley, hoping she'd be willing to reply and cure my boredom. To be honest, my girlfriend is probably asleep.
"Alex? Why are you here so early?" The blonde girl queried. As she looked up I realised it was in fact Jenna. Her tone and facial expression were neutral; not overjoyed by the sight of my face but not disgusted either.
"I could ask you the same thing" I replied with a friendly smile. Thankfully she returned it with a toothy grin.
"Well, my parents thought it would be a brilliant idea to start fighting again at 6am and I wanted to get out of there as quickly as possible," she explained "What's your story then Gaskarth?"
