Secret Admirer // Jalex

Chapter 18

Jack's POV

"Babe, babe, stop."

"Whyyyy, Jay?" Oli whined.

"My phone buzzed. I should probably check it."

Oli scoffed and started to kiss my neck.
"I think that can wait, don't you agree?" He purred.

"Oli." I stated. He rolled his eyes and moved from his position of straddling me.

Oli and I weren't exactly exclusive, despite when he said we were dating. I suppose you could say we were "friends-with-benefits-but-not-really-friends-and-we-don't-have-sex-we-just-make-out."

I picked up my phone, reading the notification from...Alex?

To Jack: I want to drown.

Oh dear fucking Jesus, what?

I picked up my jacket and practically flew out of the house, ignoring Oli's protests of getting back there so we could "have some fun."

I ran, since Oli's house was only about a minute from the bridge from last time. My feet slammed fast against the pavement, making heavy sounds each time my foot dropped.

Please say he isn't actually serious.

I slowed down when I arrived at the bridge, making my footsteps quieter than the raindrops, so Alex wouldn't hear me.

I came up behind him, and when I did, I heard him taking deep breaths, as if he were preparing for a big moment.

I heard a tiny whisper, barely audible, release from someone's lips into the air.

"Here I go."

I panicked, disregarding my stealth method, and wrapped my arms around his small form before he had a chance to push off.

We both stumbled back onto the little piece of pavement separating the ledge from the road, resulting in me falling on my butt and Alex in a position very similar to straddling, right on top of me.

"Hi." I whispered, breathlessly.

He seemed confused, until his face contorted into one of anger.

"WHAT THE FUCK, JACK?! YOU'RE NOT SUPPOSED TO BE HERE. I'M SUPPOSED TO DID AND YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO BE SCREWING YOUR BOYFRIEND." He screamed, clearly not very pleased to see me.

He jumped off of me and stumbled back to the ledge, obviously determined in achieving his goal.

"Lex, no. Lex, stop." I countered, grabbing his arm, my other arm slipping around his waist.

"You will not drown. You are going to stay right here on land and with me, because I can't lose you. I fucking love you and you're not allowed to leave. I love you so so so much and I can't bear you leaving my life. I don't want you to drown."

He stood there, silent, with a blank expression. Then his face showed pure disgust.

"You don't love me." He spat.

"But I do! Listen, that whole Oli thing was just the way I decided to cope, I guess. I never loved him. Not at all. We weren't even dating. Hell, the little shit didn't even take me out on a date. I want you, only you. I love you and I need you in my life."

Alex didn't say anything in response, he just observed my eyes as if he were trying to find any sort of dishonesty in my previous words. After a few moments of rather uncomfortable eye interrogation, his lips curved up into a tiny smile.

"I missed you."
