I'll Set You Free ~ Jalex

Chapter 2

-Alex's POV-

"Hey gayskarth where you going? Going to go and slit your wrists then cry to your mommy." I heard a voice call out to me, I tried to keep walking but then I was grabbed by the collar and dragged backwards before being pushed in a locker I winced as I see Max's face in front of mine "where you going faggot" he spat with a look of disgust I looked down to avoid eye contact with him to avoid making things worse "look at me when I'm talking to you faggot" he hissed, I looked up but avoided his eyes when I suddenly felt a sharp punch that winded me before I was dropped and felt him kicking my ribs and stomach. I curled up in a small ball feeling tears run down may face as I was abused until he finally got bored and left, I couldn't go back to class it was almost over s after a few minutes I got up and walked out of the school.

I walked not knowing where I was going, in the end I walked into an old park and sat on a swing slowly rocking back and forth on it, it was starting to get dark and school was probably over but something stopped me from going home, so I stayed and pulled my trusty blade out I stared at it for a while before just rolling up my sleeve, but then something caught my eye... Well more like someone he was tall and lanky with dark hair that swept across his forehead. He was staring back at me so intensely I had to look away but I could still feel his eyes on me, he moved closer cautiously like I would run away or something I don't know what to do so I froze.

He came and sat on the swing next to me still staring at me I felt uncomfortable and fidgeted under his gaze before he finally spoke "Um are you Alex?" I coughed "Uh yeah... How do you know that?" I looked down seeing the blade still in my hand and realised he almost saw me cut myself "We go to the same school" I look up at him to see his face properly he had dark brown eyes and looked concerned, I mean who would blame him he almost saw the schools emo faggot cut himself, he'll probably laugh about this with his friends tomorrow "Oh" genius response Alex he's definitely gonna be friends with you said a voice in my head "shut up" I whisper quietly to myself hoping he didn't hear that but he obviously did "Are you ok?" I nodded before mumbling something about having to go home and waving leaving him alone and sitting on a swing looking confused at what just happened.

-Jacks P.O.V-

I looked up just in time to see him walk out of the park gates and in that split second I decided I would help him I don't know how but I will, I look down at my watch and see that it was almost 7 and that I was supposed to be home hours ago "Shit" I got up and started running a few minutes later I was already out of breath. I turned into the street where I lived and saw Alex walking into the house opposite mine, I stared in shock for a few seconds before walking into my house.

The warm air hit me as soon as I got in "Jack!" came the voice of my mom from the kitchen "Thank god I thought you were dead I tried calling you 17 times. Where the hell were you?" oh fuck "I bumped into a school friend and we chatted I didn't realise the time and my phone died earlier at school, sorry mom" she sighed and hugged me "Its ok just don't scare me like that again" "I won't" I say and kiss her on the cheek before going upstairs and doing some pointless homework about something that I didn't care about.
