Love, you take my breath away (JALEx)

Sing Me to Sleep

"Mom! Im home, and i brought a friend." I say, i know she is awake it is only 11:34. "Hi there." She says coming out to greet Alex. "So is this your boyfriend Jackeyy?" She teased. "MOM!" I shrieked my face burning bright red. Alex just chuckled grabbing my hand. I looked at him quizzically but say nothing jist lead him upstairs to my room. "You'll probably want to take a shower," i say pointing to the small bathroom. "Thanks." He says heading in and shutting the door. Sit down on the floor and put my head on my knees. What was i doing, letting my biggest bully spend the night. After everything that just happened too. God he was wrong, I'm the fucked up person. "Umm jack." I look up see Alex in his boxers, hair dripping. "Ya?" I say standing. "Where am i going to sleep at?" He asks with a frown. "Oh you can sleep in my bed I guess, I can sleep on the couch." I say, "are you going to bed now?" "Ya, I'm kinda worn out after...." he looks away and i realize hes referring to what happened in the bathroom at the party. "Oh okay." I turn to leave and go downstairs. I sit by mother on the couch. "So do you like him? Does he like you? How was the party?" She questions me excitedly. "The party was okay, i didn't really know anybody." I tell her avoiding the first questions. "Okay, well if you sleep with him wear a condom." She smirks. "MOM what is with you tonight?!?" i shout. She gets up to go to bed giving me a wink before wishing me a good night. I roll my eyes.

I wake up next to Alex and scramble to get off the couch, accidentally pushing him off in the process. "What?" He asks dazed and I see his cheeks become slightly pink when he sees me. "Sorry, I was just..." His face turns deep red and he gets up to go back to my room. "What is it?" I question, following him to my bed and laying beside him. "It's nothing." He mumbles, turning away. "Obviously it is nothing." I say, pulling close. He lays his head on my chest and whispers, "promise you won't laugh?" He asks timidly. "I promise." He hesitates before whispering, "I had a nightmare."

"Oh." is all I can say. "See you think I'm a wimp." He tries to pull away but I hold him tight. "That's okay, I get night terrors sometimes." I mentally slap myself for telling that to my biggest bully. "Really?" He looks at me and I see tears in his eyes. "Yes really." I say, brushing the tear away. "Do you want to talk about it?" He shakes his head and I let him drift off to sleep.
