You're Already The Voice Inside My Head (Jalex)

I'd Kiss You Even If You Were Dead

"Alex... Alex" It sounds like someone was whispering in my ear, I open my eyes but my room is empty.

"Alex" I sit up my chest aching.

Jack?

"Yeah"

What's wrong?  There was something in his voice that sounded softer, like if he'd been crying.

"I'm scared"

Scared of what?

"What if I am dead? What if this is just what happens when you die"

I don't think you're dead Jack, as if this is what happens when everyone dies I think we'd know.

"I'm not alive though am I? I can't see anything, I can't feel anything, all I can hear is you"

You've got to be alive Jack, you're here I can talk to you. I'm not talking to a dead person.

"Maybe you are, I just... Need to know what happened to me"

I will find out Jack.

"I just don't want to be dead"

You can't be dead Jack, I'd know if you were dead. I'd be able to feel it.

"Are you sure?"

Yes, I can feel you sometimes when I'm asleep I think I can hear you breathing.

"You can? Does that mean I'm actually breathing? That I'm alive?"

Of course it does, and I promise you Jack that I will find out where ever it is you are.

"Thank you"

I get up and head for the shower; I take my shirt off and see the new bruises forming on my chest. I groan and get in the hot shower, the water burning my damaged skin but I don't bother to turn it down.

"Alex?" I jump in the air at the sound of Jack's voice.

Fuck Jack I'm in the shower!

"So? It's not like I can see you"

You still gave me a heart attack!

"Sorry" I got out of the shower and start drying my hair.

What did you want?  I ask him why wrapping the towel around my waist and going into my room.

"I remember something"

What do you remember Jacky? I throw some clothes on and grab my laptop.

"There was a war...A war we had to run away from"

A war? Jack there hasn't been a war in America in... years!

"It wasn't in America... It was somewhere else"

You've lived somewhere abroad?

"I think I was born abroad"

What do you remember about this war?

"I don't think I was old enough to remember, I just know we had escape because it was too dangerous to stay"

Okay... I'll look up wars in recent years and see if anything rings any bells.

Oh god there's lots! There's The Falklands War, the Thai-Laotian Border War, the Romanian Revolution and the Lebanon Civil War.  

"Lebanon... Lebanon that's sounds familiar"

Well it's a small country in Asia, there's not a lot to it really.

"Hey I'm from there!"
