ALEX

I was laying in the back lounge, counting and recounting how many fireworks Jack and I get to light tonight. I loved Jack and I loved that he wanted to do something fun like this, but I was scared. I knew nothing bad would happen if Flyzik was watching, but I couldn't set aside this weird feeling in my stomach I had.

It was like getting butterflies before your first kiss or going down on a drop on a roller coaster. It wasn't exactly a bad feeling, but it wasn't exactly a good one, either. I wanted to make Jack happy so of course I would comply to every need and want that he ever asked for, although consequences were always on the horizon with us.

It wasn't easy doing the whole Jalex facade before we were a real couple. Undoubtingly, we had feelings for each other. Undiscovered, of course, but still there. I wouldn't get jealous when Jack was with girls and Jack didn't get jealous with my girlfriends, or so it seemed.

Even then, there were consequences. The girls knew we had to have our fake gay relationship for the fans. It was what they wanted and we gave the fans what they wanted. They are like our kids and damn it if the kids wanted Jalex, Jack and I would give it to them, even if our girlfriends got pissed or our label at the time didn't approve.

That's how I felt with Jack, though. Now, when we were together, I would do anything to make him happy. He knew that. Somehow though, I always got this weird, unsure feeling that something bad would happen. I didn't like that feeling at all. I would keep it covered, for Jack's sake.

So here I was, laying on the couch as I read the list of the fireworks we got to launch. Everyone went out for pre-celebration drinks, except Jack and I. Jack was getting us both Monsters and we were cuddling and watching Back to the Future, but Jack got distracted, as usual.

"Guess who?" Jack said, putting his icy cold hands over my eyes. I laughed at him and shrugged. "It couldn't be the only other guy on the bus, could it?" I said with a smirk. Jack rolled his eyes and leaned down to kiss my cheek before plopping back next to me as he handed me the icy, energy inducing beverage.

This was how I really wanted to celebrate Fourth of July. Cuddling with the guy I love, watching classic American movies, and drinking beverages that you knew wouldn't cause you to wake up with a hangover. Of course, Jack had other ideas and I went along, because I loved the guy.

~~~~~~~~~~~

Many hours, a couple games of beer pong, and two burgers later, it was time to light off the fireworks. Jack was holding my hand super tight as he jumped up and down like a puppy waiting for a treat. Flyzik, making sure not to drink until after we lit the fireworks, told us the instructions in complete monotone, just wanting to get this over with so he could also get wasted like almost the rest of us. I didn't drink as much as I would have, just because that nervous feeling didn't go away.

"This is it, Alex! We're gonna do this." Jack said with a grin as Flyzik backed away. I just smiled back, equally as excited, even with my nerves going crazy. It was exciting I had to admit. We blew through the first 3/4 of the fireworks in a matter of minutes.

The last firework was the biggest one and Jack was shaking so much from excitement I thought he was going to pass out. I decided I would let him light this on his own as I kissed him quickly before pushing him forward towards the firework. Jack lit it and looked back at me with a smile before all I saw was Flyzik running towards Jack and screams echoed the air.
