Oh snap Indiana Jones there's snakes everywhere!
Am I the only one who thinks All Time Low should do a cover of Wonderwall?
*Jack's POV*
"So how's it going?" Alex asks with a little concern staining his voice. He always seems to be worrying about something.
"Okay" I shrug. Being totally honest, it's not okay, nothing is okay right now. If anything, everything's getting worse and I'm just waiting for the day my family disowns me and Alex leaves.
"I was wondering if you maybe wanted to come over today?" He says, kicking a paperclip between his feet
"Yeah, I guess" I nod, trying to fit a binder into the top shelf of my locker, only to give up and throw it in the bottom. He's probably the nicest kid I've ever been friends with, all he ever wants to do is help other people.
"Okay, do you have to go help in the office again?" Nope, no counseling center today. I've fooled all the councelors into believing that I'm fine.
"No, I don't have to today. We can just leave"
"Fags" someone snickers as they walk past us. I don't want Alex to go through this shit too, it's probably not the best idea to be around him a whole lot during school. I finally find a guy who actually cares for me and now I can't hang out with him in school when I need him the most. It just gets better and better.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
When we get to his house his mom opens the door and greets us, she really is nice. I haven't met Alex's dad yet, I think he's on a business trip or something, but so far his family is some of the sweetest people I've ever met.
"Alright boys, I've got to pick up some things at the store, I should be home in half an hour"
"Bye" She hops in her car and drives away. So I guess it's just him and me for a little while.
~~~~~~~~~~~~
We played some video games, most of which he beat me at. I guess I'm not the gaming master I once thought I was. Oh well, it's not a big deal. His mom gets home and make some chicken noodle soup for dinner. It reminded me of all the times I was sick as a kid and mom would make soup to help me feel better. Those were the days...
~~~~~~~~~~~~
"How are you doing, Jack? Your eye looks much better than it did yesterday" His mom asks, looking up at me from across the small table
"I'm doing well, and it feels a lot better Mrs. Gaskarth" I smile, it's odd how we only met yesterday and she already cares about me this much
"I'm glad to hear that and please, call me Isobel" Her smile is always so genuine. God, I sound like I'm hitting on Alex's mom. But we don't have to worry about that, y'know. Gay.
"Jack, if you want you can sleep over tonight" Alex offers. It's a school night but after my explosion yesterday at the hospital my parents probably wont care.
"Yeah, that would be great. I'll have to call my parents and tell them where I am"
"I'll help you guys set up the air mattress after dinner"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"So man, are people still being dicks?" Alex asks
"What?"
"In school and stuff" Not counting my uncle? Okay
"Eh, it's getting better, I guess" It's getting worse. These kids just don't stop. They think that what they're saying doesn't leave scars on my wrists and keep me awake all night. I don't even understand what I did to deserve their torment. There must be more to it than I originally thought.
"You sure?"
"Yeah. I mean, as long as I don't let this stuff get to me then I'm fine"
"Jack, not to be rude but, you've hurt yourself because of what they say to you"
I sigh "Yeah but-"
"But nothing. It still gets to you" I guess I'm just that easy to read. Like an open book
"Not as much"
"Let me see your wrists," I refuse and he gives a sympathetic look "I wont be mad, I promise"
"Fine" My sleeves are rolled up and his eyes widen a little, but he looks back up at me and says
"There's more... Jack, why do you keep doing this to yourself? I told you to come talk to me... Why didn't you?" Oh fuck. He looks so hurt. Why does he care so much? We don't even know each other that well and he treats me like family... Like we've known each other forever.
"I'm sorry, Alex... I just don't want to bother you"
"Jack, it only bothers me that you would put a blade to your wrist because they tell you to. You don't bother me at all. I really like talking to you, man" He smiles reassuringly
"Okay... Thank you, Alex"
Sorry I haven't been updating much but I'm trying to make longer chapters and stuff.
Even though this is a super short chapter...???????
