(Jalex) The First Step Towards Repair

Kiss me again.

Chapter 13

It's been awhile since I've felt butterflies.

Do you feel the same way too?

Alex

For the whole day, things went along smoothly. Jacob and the others didn't cross our paths again. And even if they did, well... I had Jack. And sometimes even Rian.

Speaking about Jack, I honestly didn't think that I'd be able to work up the courage and kiss him. I thought he'd hate me for that, because he pulled away with a shocked expression. I was so upset, but at the same time I was sort of expecting that reaction. I mean, that's what you'd do if someone just randomly kissed you on the lips, especially when it's someone with the same gender as you. I didn't know why I had that overwhelming urge to kiss him, but he looked so fucking beautiful with his eyes closed and his chest rising and falling with every breath he took. I'm not exactly sure yet, but I think... I think I'm in love.

Then when I got really upset and thought that I lost my only true friend, he just went and kissed me. Fucking hell, he was a good kisser. No, he was a great kisser. I felt a spark between us when our lips connected together and I must say, it was amazing.

I walked home together with Jack and Rian. Rian lived like, a street away, so he was the first to go. Jack and I strolled along the pavement, an awkward silence lingering in the atmosphere. Suddenly I felt a hand slip to mine and I looked down at my hand to see that it was Jack's. I blushed slightly and smiled up at him, and he returned the smile back. Soon, we reached my house and Jack released his grasp. "See you later, I guess," I mumbled and he nodded before waving and walking back to his house.

I grabbed the spare keys from under the mat and unlocked the door before putting them back to their original hiding spot and entering my house. I saw my lunch on the table and went to eat it before going to shower. Once I was finished, I put on a random shirt and jeans before going back downstairs and turning on the TV. Just then, there was a knock on the door. "Coming!" I called out and got up to open the door. Standing outside was Jack and Rian, both holding CDs in their hands. I let them in and they dumped everything onto the sofa. The three of us sat down beside the pile of games and we looked through the contents. Once we all decided on Super Mario, we inserted the disk and began to play.

------------------

"God damnit Jack, don't cheat!" Rian yelled and Jack laughed, his tongue poking out in concentration as he worked his way through the obstacles. I chuckled and fixed my gaze on the screen, controlling my character and making sure it doesn't fall when I jumped too early and it fell towards the lava.

"Fuck, shit! Bubble, bubble!" I said and frantically pressed a button, causing a bubble to form around my character and I sighed in relief while the other two laughed. I made it float towards Jack and he made his character jump, causing the bubble to pop and I landed safely in front of him.

Time flew by quickly because it was already near 7 in the evening and the two of them already went home. ((A/N: you can tell i'm really lazy)) By that time, my parents got back from work and we ate dinner together.

As we were all in the middle of our dinner, I asked, "How do you know if you're in love?"

My parents, not surprisingly, were shocked. "Well! That's a really odd question from you, honey," my mum said.

"Sweetie, if your heart beats faster and you always smile at the sound of that person, or if you're willing to do anything for him... I guess those are symptoms," my mum said, putting air quotes around the word 'symptoms'.

I nodded and began to think... Has that happened before around Jack? I am willing to sacrifice my life for him, but the others...

**

My heart was beating so quickly in my chest. It was odd. This never happened before...

**

Why'd Jack be my friend, though? He's really nice... I don't deserve him. I'm worthless. I don't deserve him.

... but I really really like him.

**

My stomach fluttered at that thought (of him coming over).

**

I plopped down on the sofa, Jack sitting beside me. I didn't feel uncomfortable like how I always would.

**

I chuckled at his rather childish ways. He's kind of adorable, really.

I mentally slapped myself again. What the hell am I saying? I shook my head. We've just met. God. Then again... I studied him intently. Those gorgeous brown eyes filled with joy and his hair, brown decorated with blonde streaks... I saw him glance at my direction and winked at me, causing me to hurriedly look away and glue my eyes to the screen. Fuck. We've only just met. Oh my god.

**

I stared at Jack, who had his eyes closed. He was so cute... Oh my god. There was an overwhelming desire for me to kiss him. "Hey, Jack?" I mumbled and he sat up straight. "Yeah?" I gently pressed my lips against his and he looked shocked, but he kissed me back before pulling away. Oh fuck.

**

"Aw, my little boy has got a crush. Who is it?" My mum asked, a grin on her face.

I blushed slightly and murmured, "You guys have met..."

My parents looked at each other before back at me and I twiddled my thumbs under the table nervously. "Jack?"

I bit down on my lip and nodded, directing my gaze to my lap and they laughed. "Don't worry. We'll support you. He better not break your heart," my mum warned and my head shot up with a wide grin. "Thanks, mum, dad."
