Under a Paper Moon (Jalex)

Chapter 13

It's been a while? Basically I'm seeing All Time Low in London!:) I missed my Hustler pre-sale but I'm in the stalls and I might be able to meet them ^.^ I'm gonna try because its better to give it a go than not at all, right? I hope you've all been okay! So here's a short filler.

Jack's POV

That day I scared the hell out of Alex, nothing too bad happened to me though apart from when I fell off my desk trying to reach Alex's present. You see I felt guilty about still..ya know..so I just did what I felt like I had to do. I still remember how he yelled my name and came storming into the room thinking I was dead until I burst out laughing and he slapped me around the face. But another year on from that day and were still doing pretty good. I mean sure we've argued but couples are meant to, if they don't it just builds up even more tension which we learned, from our own mistakes.

"JACK? Have you see my new jeans?" Alex pounced into my door unannounced. "I have my interview today and.." He furrowed his eyebrows when he realised I was writing in a journal. Yes, I Jack Barakat have a journal and it's what I'm currently writing in as you read this, mental right? You'll find our why you've got my journal one day. "Aww does Jacky have a journal?" He mocked the fact I'd actually kept it going for the past five years of my life.

"Piss off, pizza breath." I pushed him away, well I tried until he crashed himself onto me after my arms went weak. "C'mon Jack! Let me look what you're writing, please?" He began to shake me my only just woken body. "No. I'm tired and you're hurting me." I grunted before I began to get changed, I noticed the look of complete and utter hurt on his face at the time I'd said it. "That's all I do right? I just hurt you." Alex slammed my door before he went back to his room. Yeah we decided to keep our separate rooms seen as my mom was cracking onto us about the whole event. "Lex! I didn't mean it like that!" I pulled a shirt over my head before I pushed his door open. He was sat cross legged, facing his wall on his bed and of course he had his earphones in. I slid myself behind him before I took an earphone, no music. Seriously? He was just going to sit here and pretend to listen to music? Yep.

Alex removed his other earphone and settled back into my chest, "Smile. Tell me I'm alright." He hummed into my collarbones. "Lex? Are you writing again?" I moved his hair away from his eyes so I could look at hi properly. He nodded, "I found my jeans on your floor." He smirked to himself. "No! Do not get any ideas okay? Just please get ready and go to your interview because we need this." He shortly agreed and all I could do was sit there and squeeze him tightly, "Dude if you get any tighter on me then you'll cut my air supply off." He spoke up before I snapped out of my daze. I'd gotten used to this by now, I'd just sit there and think about the whole world at like 5am and not be able to sleep and Alex did it too which just encouraged me to carry on more.

"Alex? Ill drop you off hun if you're ready in the next two minutes!" My mom chimed, running around the house. She hasn't adopted him because I wouldn't be able to be with him that way but she's like a second mom to him, I love it. "Will you be okay alone?" Alex scooted next to me in the conservatory, "of course." I smiled as I began to lean in closer and closer but just as our lips touched for a split second, my mom walked in. She'd caught us making out a few times now which wasn't that odd seen as me and Alex were at it a lot. I just hope I can find something to do other than the band like the rest of the guys. Seen as we don't have school anymore we needed this band because really, none of us had outstanding grades.

Within seconds my mom and Alex were gone, out the door and into the car. I felt alone. The door seemed to shake from the knocking, yep Zack was here. "Eyyyy Barakat!" He grinned before coming inside and taking his shoes off. "So how's you and Lex?" He emphasised the x and it make me smile because little did he know that's how I'd call out Alex's name when he was all hot and sticky and attached to me a- I was hard as right now. "Bloody hell. I mentioned the guys name and now you're already getting turned on." He chuckled. "Yeah well..My mom keeps walking in as we're about to, you know." I used both my hands as a symbol of what I meant. Zack just slowly nodded. "Rian's pretty hot."

Rian? As in our Rian? Did I hear him right? Oh lord.
