Six Feet Under the Stars (Jalex Fanfic)

I Can Cover For It So Well (Ch. 17)

JACK

I didn't want to get up and face the day ahead of me. We weren't playing any shows for the next week, or until Flyzik was out if it took longer. Getting out of bed involved talking to people and probably going to the hospital where I could see what I did to get Flyzik into the hospital in the first place. That did not sound like a pleasant day.

I knew Alex was awake by the way he played with my hair, running his hands through it and twirling it in between his small fingers. I peeked an eye open and saw him grin down at me before I shut them quickly and snuggled deeper into his chest, a tired groan escaping me.

"You have to get up some time, Jack." Alex said with a quiet laugh and I shook my head in refusal, not caring how much I messed up my hair. I didn't want to do anything today.

"Come on, Jack. I know you want to stay in here forever, but I need to at least get out. This is my bunk." Alex said, interlocking our hands together. Looking up at him through messy hair and sleepy eyes, I shrugged before giving him a smile. I was going to take in as much happy time I could get, especically with Alex. This day I was about to face seemed like it would be a downward spiral once I got out of the bunk. So I took in as much as I could to stay happy for a few hours.

"Fine, but when you come back, can you bring me coffee, pretty please?" I said with puppy dog eyes. Alex ran a hand through his hot pink hair and kissed me softly on the lips. I wished he would stay and cuddle me for the rest of the day, but I needed to face my problems. I couldn't just hide from them or even self harm to think it would take away the emotional pain. I wouldn't go back to that.

"I'll be back soon." Alex said, breaking me from my thoughts. Before I could reply, he managed to kiss me on the cheek and slip out of the bunk. I put my head back on the pillow, breathing in Alex's musky scent. I knew he was worried about Flyzik and me. He saw me so vulnerable last night and I didn't want him to. I wanted to be strong for him. I caused him so much pain in our teenage years, I thought that this time I would be better. Obviously, I thought wrong.

I rubbed my face, feeling the dried tears on my cheeks and took a deep breath. I needed to stay strong today. It would be hard, especially seeing Flyzik, but I needed to be strong. Pulling Alex's blanket closer to my body, I grabbed his phone, checking the time. 12:30pm. I went on his twitter and tweeted: I miss you all, but I guess Alex's bed will do. - Jack

With a chuckle, I watched as fans freaked out and tweeted back like mad. Alex came back, all refreshed. I smiled, looking him over, admiring his chest as his wet hair dripped onto it. He smirked and sat next to me in the bunk.

"Checking me out?" Alex said with a wink before handing me a cup of coffee. I chuckled into the cup and rolled my eyes, sitting up. I finally decided after minutes of contemplation that I should get dressed. I didn't want to get up, but life would go on without me if I didn't. I gave Alex a slow kiss, tasting the peppermint on his breath before putting my forehead agaist his.

"I'm okay. Don't worry." I said with a half smile. I didn't even believe my own words, but if it helped Alex be happy for a little awhile, I would do anything. Alex rolled his eyes and I couldn't help but laugh. Only Alex would be sassy when I tried to have an emotion filled moment. He smiled, knowing my laugh was genuine before pushing my slightly on the shoulder.

"Go get dressed. We're going to see Flyzik soon." Alex said as I climbed out of the bunk. I mumbled a reply back before walking over to the bathroom, grabbing some clean clothes on the way. I wasn't particularly excited for today, but I really wanted to see Flyzik. I had a lot to say to him, even if he couldn't understand me.

I took a shower and changed in the bathroom, throwing on some random skinny jeans and a JAGK shirt. After about fourty five minutes of getting ready and fixing my two toned hair to absolute perfection, I left the bathroom, the scent of hairspray causing Rian to roll his eyes at me.

"I like to breathe fresh air, Jack." Rian said with thick sarcasm. I threw a pillow at him while grabbing a Monster. I hadn't eaten in awhile, but I lived off Monster and coffee, anyways. Rian looked at my arms and I looked down. I had totally forgotten about the scrapes and bruises. Muttering some lame excuse about how I got them from falling on the Fourth of July, I scrambled to the back lounge.

"Ready to go?" Alex said, looking up from an intense game of Candy Crush on his phone. I nodded, rubbing my hand up and down my arm subconciously. Alex got up, taking my hand as we walked off the bus. I fumbled with my phone while we waited for a taxi and Alex broke the silence in the cab.

"This will be good, Jack." Alex said, kissing me softly and quickly. I sighed and nodded, playing with his fingers. I trusted Alex with my life, but I was scared. Even though he was with me, he didn't know how Flyzik would react. I didn't even know if I wanted to know how Flyzik would react. Taking a deep breath, I looked out the window as we pulled up to the hospital. I felt Alex squeeze my hand and I bit my lip. This could make or break my relationship with Flyzik. Opening the door for me, I looked up at Alex.

"Well, here we go."
