"Really?! Home Alone? It's the fifth time in two days dude!" That amazing yell was from Rian complaining at something like 8am. Would it be strange if I told you I was starting to like these movies? Well, I was and actually, I wouldn't have minded watching one of them with Jack right then.

So I just got up, put a not-so-real smile on my face and headed to the 'living room'.

"The legendary Dawson delicacy. Thanks dude." I said while sitting down next to Jack. "Mind if I watch it with you?"

"Nope." Jack answered.

"And of course, I'm ignored. If you're looking for me I'll be doing something smart, not like some of us." Rian muttered and then left.

It was only the two of us on the couch. I tried my best to focus on Home Alone but I couldn't. So many things were going through my mind. It had been this way every single day for over two years now and I still wasn't used to it.

But something caught me off guard. I felt Jack's arm sneak around my shoulder so that I was soon pressed against his chest. And that was when I knew something was wrong. I hadn't noticed but I was softly crying.

This was something new. Since she was gone, I'd only had a few hugs, mostly at the beginning. And to be honest I'd missed it.

"Everything's gonna be just fine Lex." He whispered in my hair.

Somehow I really wanted to believe Jack. I knew that this was the best thing to do. I should stop worrying about everything, I should stop thinking about the past all the time. I should move on. Actually, there were lots of things I should do.

And right then, for once, with Jack, I could just be myself, be real, and even feel safe.
