Year 3: The Taste Of Your Lips Is Enough To Keep Me Here

Alex's P.O.V.

After Tom died I was wrecked, the only thing that kept me sane was Jack. He flew back home with me and took care of me. He always kept an eye on me for the rest of the school year. He even convinced his mother to let him stay with me during the summer. But over the summer we've grown a bit too close. Like I hate not being around him, but I've also noticed things about him. But I think he may be noticing, he gets really shy sometimes when I talk to him.

I have only told my mum, she thinks that I should tell Jack about my crush. Ha as if, nice try mum.  I don't think Jack would hate me, but I think it would creep him out. It would make things awkward since he doesn't like me like that.

"Alex!" I heard my name being called, I snapped my head over to the source of the noise. It was Jack calling me, his ears must have been burning.

"Sorry, yes Jacky?" I answered, he rolled his eyes since I dot his a lot. I space out and just sit there twirling my hair while thinking.

"You need to get your robe on. You're going to forget if you don't." He reminded me, acting all motherly like normal. I smiled and him and stood up, but before I could do anything else the train stopped abruptly. Making me fall completely on Jack, who had stolen why seat when I got up. I blushed scarlet, and turned my head away from him. Not before noticing that his cheeks were tinted with embarrassment as well.

It suddenly got so cold, I held onto Jack for dear life. His arms snaked around my waist, securing me to his lap. Thank god Rian and Zack were visiting other friends, they would have never let this go. The train violently shook for a millisecond before another draft of cold air bust through. Then a black veiled creature came through the door. All of the happiness felt as if it was being torn away from me.

"Jack if we die, I'm in love with you." I yelled as it came closer to me. Jack turned his head to look at me before launching his lips into mine. I was shocked for a second then I kissed back, and holy shit it was amazing.

He pulled back breathless, With a goofy smile on his face. I feel myself blush scarlet, a smile etching its way into my face. I hear a small cough near the door. I looked at the door to see nothing there except a tall man with brown hair and eyes, smiling at us.

"The dementor left, you're safe. Then again I think you two were safe before." The man said winking at us, he handed us chocolate.

"Eat it, it'll help. I'm Remus Lupin by the way." He said, before walking out the door. I looked at Jack and he looked at me, we were silent until we both burst into laughter. After we had finished laughing I realized I was still on Jack's lap.

"Uh Jack, I'm still on your lap." I mumbled shyly, my face embarrassed with a blush still prominent.

"So?" He winked, squeezing my sides slightly. I smiled at him and hooked my hands around the back of his neck.

"So how long have you liked me?" I asked him, slightly confident.

"Since we were like 10, I think." Jack said shrugging, my jaw dropped. He has liked me since we were 10 years old and I never knew. Ha, shows how oblivious I am.

"Wow, I've like you since we were about 11." I told him, laying mead down on the crook of his neck.

"I wish we could've told each other sooner. But I'm just glad it wasn't later." Jack said, kissing me check.

"Me too." I mumbled before falling fast asleep.

Sorry it's short but I've had writers block.
Kisses, F
