~Alex's P.O.V~

As far as I know it's Thursday now, wait no Friday. Yes Friday.
Jack moved back in with me and now we're happier then ever before, my mum's spending more time out of time to give us some 'private time' although I have no intention of losing my virginity any time soon. That is what she meant by private time, right?

.After school we'd all go over to Rian's and practice, we've gotten half way through writing a song and without being modest it fucking rocks, we are amazing, who new we had such talent when it come to forming a band together? All these years with Zack and Rian and we've all wasted our individual talents on nothing!
We had 3 days to perfect it and I was almost certain we was going to be the best, we were phenomenal, music to my ears


I felt my eyes snap open as all these thoughts blocked everything else and felt someone next to me. I felt myself blush slightly as Jack was snuggled up under my arms, I must have twitched a bit because Jack suddenly yawned and faced me with his big brown eyes looking into mine with a smile spread across his lips.

"Morning mummy" He grinned slightly before kissing my bare stomach which made me flinch a bit, he's never done that before and it felt good.
"Morning son" I blinked as he made his way up to my lips and pressed them together before getting up and grabbing some clothes.
I whined a bit before getting up really awkwardly from my warm sheets that smelt like Jack.
If I inhaled my bed sheets anymore I could look like a bit of a freak, so I'll stop.

"You should get ready Lexy, we've got a long day ahead of us" I let out a large sigh because I knew he was right.
Fridays dragged on and since we openly admitted we were gay to Holly, any day now we were expecting to arrive and the whole school be in some kind of fiasco as to why we're gay and probably receive a few deep purple bruises.
I could tell Jack was worried about people finding out, which puzzled me because he was gay before I was, and I didn't give a shit, I'd chew homophobes up for breakfast.
I nodded and got up an within seconds we were done, Jack wore his Face To Face shirt with black skinny jeans and I wore a red top with grey skinnies and a grey cardigan, how gay did I look? very.

I grabbed Jacks hand before he had a chance to mess around with his skunk-like hair any longer and shoved him out the door, I promised Rian and Zack we'd be there on time today for once.

~Jack's P.O.V~
The car journey was pretty silent, well, if you call silent Alex blasting Blink-182 out from the radio silent then sure.
Our fingers intertwined as our elbows rested on his black lether arm rest and began to face all the little slags and bitches making their way into the building. I grimaced at the thought of getting inside and everyone laughing at us for being Gay. Being Gay wasn't my issue, it's the not being accepted part that hurts, because I know I'm different.

My thoughts flew out of my head as I saw Rian and Zack standing in our usual parking space and I gave them a little wave and a smile as we pulled up.
"Ready Jacky?" Alex grinned, letting my hands linger with his before he got out of the car and shook hands with Rian and Zack.
I got out too and stumbled and fell flat on my face.

Ground, meet my face, face, meet the ground.

I looked up to see a few jocks laugh at me as they went past and then saw someone kneel down to help me up, his arm seemed strong, not that Alex wasn't but it defiantly was not Lexy's arm.
Within seconds I was back on my own two feet and looking around the Earth in which I live in.

Rian was oblivious to my little meet and greet with the dirt as he drummed away on this lamppost infront of the car and Alex was getting our guitars out of the boot. If he would have seen me I think my cheeks would be the same shade as a girls period...or a tomato.

A few moments later and we were head on with the College doors on a dull friday morning with the wind blowing hard onto our faces.
It was Friday 13th after all, so me and Alex were expecting the worst.

My heart sunk when people stood there and stared at us four, they didn't laugh, nor scoff, but simply stood there with blank expressions on their faces, I felt surrounded and uncomfortable.

"Presenting Queer 1, 2, Ex boyfriend and his new lover boy" I saw Holly appear in front of the audience, my blood boiled and I could have slapped her right there and then.
It was nobody but mine and Alex's business as to what side of the line we take, it's our future and it's our past and it's our present and as long as it's not hurting anyone physically or emotionally then why can't we be what we want?

I heard Zack growl slightly before stepping forward.
"My threat didn't bother you then, fake tits?" I've never seen Zack so angry before, he was like a tiger unleashed from a circus, angry and out to kill.
"No Zachary, I realised you're all talk and no action, you couldn't hurt a fly" She laughed and expected people to join in, but nobody did.
With that Zack grabbed her by the throat and slammed her to the ground, he wasn't going to give up until her blood was all over the place.

"Stop it Zack" Alex spoke up, and Zack almost hissed as he dropped Holly as she smacked her hair on the cold tiles.
"It's true though, me and Jack are not like everyone else, we don't find love in girls, we find love in boys, each other, it's where we're most happy at except in times when we're playing music" I could feel my heart racing, what if Alex got his head kicked in?!

"We wasn't going to tell anyone, and you know why? Because of fucking sick homophobes, ones that would make our lives hell, we wouldn't be able to turn up to college without the feeling of being battered to death each day, being scared to even look at each other in the presence of you guys, we was scared of being accepted for who we really are"

It was like magic, at the same time Me, Zack and Rian stepped out infront of Alex, facing the crowd of people who stood behind a shaken Holly, like a swarm of army ready to take us down in any second.

We went to turn away when I heard someone shout my name out.
"Hey Barakat!"
I frowned and took a deep breathe before turning around and closing my eyes.


Be strong Jack, take this like the man you are...
