Alex's POV

Being in this band was suddenly becoming really hard hitting that like holy shit we actually have a chance at this. But Jack was being off with me, he wasn't eating, he wasn't talking, he'd place his bass and then that'd be it. I wasn't the only one who'd picked up on it though, so had his mum. But once he got in from his match with Rian he was over the moon. We'd all taken up football recently as a way to keep fit easily on the road. Jack burst in through my bedroom door and began dancing in a circle. "What's gotten into you?!" I laughed, shaking my head. "Well I'm about to get into you." He whispered before pushing me against the wall, lips practically sewed to mine. This was about to get interesting.

"Jack! Jack! Wait! Your mom's still home isn't she?" I started to become breathless and aware of his cold hands pressing into my spine. "She went out food shopping a couple of minutes ago but she won't be back for an hour at most." Wait so he was mad at me like an hour ago and now he wants to get into my pants again like last week, it was strange. A painful, yet pleasurable, hour flew by pretty fast. The both of us had lost track of time but before we knew it, Jack's mom walked in. I didn't quite understand what she had said before she squealed but it was something funny. "Alex you get a boner so easily it's not even funny." He groaned from underneath me before cuddling into my side. "Wanna talk?" My voice croaked, dry and soar.

"I know I've been distant but I just thought that maybe if we had a little space then it would be for the best. I just felt like I was over-loading you with too many feelings at once and everything so I just-" I placed my finger on his lips. "Stop rambling, it's adorable but annoying." I grinned before pecking his lips and getting dressed into whatever I could find amongst the pile on the floor. He stood behind me whilst I looked in the mirror, "you've put weight on!" I hugged him, squeezing the life out of him. The smallest things like this are what would make the both of us happy. It was strange how much he effected my happiness but I loved it really. In a short space of time he'd literally become my rock.

As my hands made their way to the bottom of his back, he winced in pain several times. I pulled his shirt up to see burgundy colour of liquid, stuck to it. "I- I thought you stopped Jay. For me?" I managed to get out before the years became rivers. I began to doubt each and every thing he said to me. "I've only just got you back and now you're going to be leaving again? You know what I try and try but you just throw it back in my face and I can't do this anymore." I tore myself away from him and headed downstairs and sulked. I sat and sulked like the sad pathetic boy I am. I'd been overly emotional lately but could you blame me?!

My trail of thought was lost when I heard a thud from upstairs. "JACK!" I yelled, finding my feet and my balance somehow, was I too late to say sorry?
