Alex's POV

The movie was really good. I almost cried during a couple parts. But other than that, Jack and I laughed the whole time. Mostly due to Jack being an idiot and me snorting from laughing too hard.

We went up to Jack's bedroom around 11:30. I was really fascinated with how much it had changed. He went from having blankets with cars on them to just black blankets. He went from football and basketball and baseball stickers on his walls to a guitar hanging on his wall.

He sat down on his bed and I stood there awkwardly. He looked at me and raised his eyebrow.

"You can come sit on the bed with me you know... I'm not going to bite...." He said, patting the bed next to him.

I walked over and sat there. I looked out the window and admired the stars. You could see the stars clearly tonight.

"Want me to put on some music?" He asked. I nodded. "Okay.. What do you want..? I have Nirvana, Green Day, Blink 182, Melanie Martinez, Weezer, Ramones..."

"One of those things aren't like the others.. huh?" I giggled.. Melanie Martinez was good but she was a completely different genre then the rest of the groups. "How about some Weezer.." I suggested. He played the music and Say It Ain't So came on. I looked back out at the stars and he followed my gaze. "It sure is beautiful, isn't it?" I asked.

"Of course..." said Jack," but not as beautiful as you." He leaned in and kissed my cheek. I swear to god I turned redder than a tomato.

"Shut up." I said and pushed him away, playfully.

"Make me." Replied Jack with a devilish grin. I didn't think I could blush any harder than before, I was wrong.

I looked away to hide how red my face was. Jack grabbed my hand and pulled my towards the window. "Come on..." he said. He opened the window and pushed up the screen. He climbed out onto the roof and pulled me behind him. I hadn't even noticed that he had two blankets in his arms before. He laid one down and sat on top of it. I sat next to him and he threw the other blanket over our legs. It was quite warm out. He put his arm around my shoulder and pulled me closer to him.

I looked up at the stars and was memorized, yet again. Jack looked up. "It's amazing, isn't it?" I said.

"What is?" he asked.

"The stars! The planets! Outer space! Its all so amazing, so breathtaking. Can you imagine... all the thousands of stars... existing... starting as tiny dust particles, turning into a dust cloud and then becoming a cloud of gas and then becoming so bright and brilliant. Some of them even became stories.... My only hope is that I turn out like a star... Right now.. All we are is tiny particles of dust inside a dust cloud... I just want to shine and have people look at me in wonder and awe...." I looked at Jack and he had a serious look on his face. I totally just lost him in that rant. He probably didn't care anyway. "What...?" I asked quietly.

"Nothing... I just think it's interesting that thats what you think...." He continued, "You see, I don't think you're a dust particle. I think you're a star... You shine so bright.. especially when you smile... I know this sounds cheesy but I mean it."

I looked him in the eyes. "Do you really mean that?"

"Of course." he said. "I look at you and see galaxies all over your skin, which have been the result of people and sadly me at one point... but I also see the stars in your eyes... I see that ball of fire, of rage.. I see the sun inside of you. I believe that you will bring light to people because you've brought light to me... although you may think you're in the dark..."

"Wow...." I said, "I didn't know how fucking deep you were..."

"Is it a bad thing...?" Jack asked, slightly afraid.

"I think it's.... hot..." I said quietly.

He looked at me and kissed my forehead. "You're such a dork.. and I love it..."
