'’Alex!’’ Jack screeched, chasing after the older boy.

‘’Fuck off!’’

‘’Alex, plea-’’

‘’Leave me the fuck alone!’’ Alex demanded, but the skunk-haired boy did the exact opposite. He couldn’t leave Alex thinking the wrong things - he couldn’t leave Alex without explaining himself and his actions. But, did he even have an explanation? He was turned on, and Alex was to blame for that.

‘’No!’’ He couldn’t blame Alex, it’s Jack who controls his own dick, after all. He could’ve easily taken care of his problem by having a simple, ice-cold shower. But, of course, he took the choice that affected and hurt people the most. Then again, this was Jack; a person who doesn’t care for people, nor their feelings. And even Alex knew that.

Alex turned around, coming to a stop. The expression on his face was almost enough to make the taller take a step back in fear, but he didn’t.

‘’Stop. Fucking. Following. Me,’’ Alex snarled, putting emphasis on each word.

‘’No,’’ Jack simply said, folding his arms across his chest.

‘’Listen here, you’ve crossed the fucking line - you’re beyond the fucking line. Do not piss me off even more, because it’s driving me fucking insane!’’

“It’s your fault I did this, you know.” Jack stated, his original plan of not blaming Alex faltering. He was never the one to own up to his mistakes. “And you’re blowing this way out of proportion. It’s not like I haven’t done this before.”

Alex narrowed his eyes, “Yeah, you did it to people I could care less about. But her? You know that I care for her, Jack!”

“You’re pathetic, Alex. You’re falling for a person you don’t even know! Why do you care so much about what happens to her? Her life is meaningless now!”

To the elder, it was like Jack was unable to grasp the fact that some people have feelings, unlike him. And because of that, he believes that he could get away with doing whatever he wanted to another with no consequences.  

‘’I am not falling for her!’’ Alex denied. ‘’Oh, really?’’ Jack scoffed. ‘’Then why do you care so much about her?’’

‘’Because nobody deserves to be raped!’’

‘’Alex, I do believe I’ve done this many times before. Don’t try and tell me you don’t have feelings for her, because you never said anything about any of the previous ones! You never got angry then! You have no excuse!’’ Jack yelled, getting worked up.

‘’What does it matter to you?!’’

And Jack was officially stumped; What did it matter to him? Did he have feelings for Alex? And, even if he did, why did he care for Alex’s reaction? He should have continued what he was doing with the girl, regardless of the presence of the older.

He never really saw himself as the type of person to have feelings for another. He grew up without allowing himself get close to another, isolating himself. It was without a parental figure that forced him to become the emotionless shell he was. He never found out how it would be to care for someone, as he was never cared for himself. But somehow, with Alex, it was different, and the feeling was foreign to him.

So, mentally, he concluded that he did have feelings for the elder, and he was doing what he was doing so that he was able to keep Alex all to himself. The girl was just an interference.

“I just don’t want you getting attached to someone who is going to end up getting murdered anyway! You know the routine, Alex. It’s bound to happen!” Jack spoke finally, having then thought up a good response.
