The Runaway Boy // Jalex

where do i go now?

"I heard that you've been having some trouble finding your place in the world. I know how much that hurts"

Jacks POV:

I don't understand why I've opened up to this boy so quickly. Why do I trust him he could be acting. If he is he's a darn good actor. As I think I found myself leaning my head on his shoulder. He locks eyes with me and smiles and we turn to face the movie
It wasn't scary. At first. After a while I was terrified but I didn't want alex to think I was a loser. Even if its true. So I sat there with him eating ice cream. Its never too cold for ice cream.
The movie was really good actually. I was scared but it was really enjoyable.
"Dude what time is it?" I mumble snuggling into Alex's shoulder. He looks at his watch.
"5:30 dude" he grins slightly probably feeling like a rebel. It was adorable
"What time do you wake up at in the morning.." I ask
"Half ten probably" if It was 6 like it was for me he'd be fucked
"Should we sleep then?" I ask. He nods after a few seconds.
"Okay"
We clean the pieces of popcorn of the bed and move everything on to his desk and hop into the bed. His bed is very very comfy. Like sleeping on clouds. Maybe it was just because my mattress was hard as hell but still.
"Goodnight Barakat"
"Goodnight Gaskarth" he smiles at me before rolling over as do I so we face different directions
I've always had sleeping problems and I never got help for it. Its different in his house. I found myself relax easily and shut my eyes quicker than Alex's step dad opened his door.
It might just be because its past 5 but still. I found myself drifting off easily.
I wakeup with Alex's arms around my waist cuddling into me one leg tangled around my own. I giggle quietly.
"Don't worry I won't get too close during the night" biggest lie I've ever heard.
Alex let's out a tiny yawn still asleep and starts fluffing my hair not knowing what he's doing considering he's still asleep. He looks adorable in the morning.
"Alexander" I whisper giggling when he furrowed his eyebrows at his full name. After repeatedly calling him his full name he opens his eyes to see himself clinging to my body like a koala.
"Hello" he says moving his leg. You know when someone's been on you for so long that when they move you go cold. It was weird to be hugging a boy I don't know but do I care? Nope.
After a few minutes we decide to get up and get off our asses.
"Do you want a shower jack?" I nod. He gives me that stunning grin and shows me to the bathroom and how to work the shower.
During the hot shower I found myself sitting down with the shower drops drizzling on my head getting lost in my thoughts
Where am I gonna go. I can't live here and I can't go home. I can't kill myself anymore. Ill just have to be homeless..
How do homeless live? I can't beg for money, I can't get a job, I can't sing I literally can't do anything. I'm going to end up dead.
When I leave the bathroom I go back to Alex's room and begin to feel sad again. I sit down on his bed looking up at him
"Hey Alex?" He looks down at me with a smile.
"Yeah?"
"Where do I go now. Don't say home I'm not going home. That's not my home anymore. Will I still be able to see you or was this a one day friendship?" Alex looks down at his feet and then back up at me.
"I don't know, no where is safe in this city. No matter where you go I'll find you and help you." He explains sliding his right foot back and forward.
"I just want somewhere safe where I can visit you" Alex suddenly walked up to me and hugged me.
"Stay here, no one will know not even my family. If they ever see you I'll say you're my friend hanging out but really you're living here" he says with an enthusiastic smile. I shake my head causing the smile to drop.
"Alex.. I can't do that, I won't be the reason your parents don't trust you.." But Alex didn't want to let his idea go so he went down on one knee with a devilish grin.
"My step dad Frank hates me and my mum won't really care it'll work out great please trust me on this dude. I'm not afraid to break some rules to keep you safe Barakat" I giggle at how nice this boy is. He's one of a kind.
"Jack Barakat will you stay here with me" he proposes. I nod with a laugh and he jumps up in excitement and tackles me onto his bed. I let out a laugh which I haven't done in forever. I ignore that fact And focus that this boy is smothering me in a hug. He rubs his nose into my chest
"I hope you know you'll regret this" I mutter playing with little strands of his hair. He smiles.
"I hope you know I wont" I shrug my shoulders and hold him close. I'm not used to hugs and I really missed them.
This boy could keep me alive if he wanted to. I'm sick of leaving my life in other peoples hands but this once.. I will. I trust Alex. He better not lose that trust
.

These suck so far (and probably always will but I don't care)
