Jack's Pov:
"Why do you just sit around all day? Why don't you go out for once, make some friends?" My mom nagged at me, standing infront of me with her hands on her hips. I rolled my eyes at her before standing up and heading towards the stairs, wanting to escape to my room .
"I have friends!" I yelled over my shoulder, taking the steps two at a time, eager to be done with the conversation. "I mean friends who won't leave when they get to know you- y'know, real friends, Jack!" She yelled back. I didn't bother replying to this, knowing it cause yet another unneeded argument. I closed the door of my room before crashing down onto my bed face first, arms down by my side. A few minutes later I felt weight on my back, followed by purring.
"Hey Lil." I smiled, reaching back to take her into my arms. She meowed back at me, licking my fingers with her rough wet tongue. I sighed and began stroking her softly. "Jack, Lilly doesn't count as a friend. She's a cat!" Mom sighed, shaking her head, standing in my door way. I clenched my fists.
"Mom, I told you... I have friends!" I snapped, shooing Lilly away. She jumped down, flicking her tail at me before sauntering out with all her sass. Now to deal with Mom. "I have friends." I repeated softly, staring at my hands. "Honey, if you can name one friend... I'll leave you be." She said softly, sitting down on the bed next to me. I seriously had to think for a while. After a few minutes I finally had an answer, however it pathetic it was.
"I have a friend."I muttered, smirking at her. She raised an eye brow at me, urging me to continue. "I have Lex." I grinned, my cheeks turning a light shade of pink as I thought of him. "Baby, you can't spend your whole life depending on someone you're inlove with. Especially when they don't feel the same way." She murmured sympathetically, brushing my hair away from my face gently. "I only want what's best for you, Jack. You are everthing to me, and it hurts me seeing you constantly make yourself miserable everythimg Alex gets a new boyfriend." She sighed, laying her hand on my forearm.
"Mom, I don't-" I tried to but in, but she quickly cut me off.
"Don't try and tell me that you're not in love with him. I see the way you look at him, its the way your father used to look at me. Now, Jack, you know I love you, so I just want you to think about what you're doing, okay baby?" She cooed, before leaving the room.
Well, fuck.
She gave me alot to think about.
I was honestly completely inlove with Alex, just thinking his name made me heart beat that tiny bit faster.
What the fuck was I going to do?
