Everything Personal (Jalex Fan-Fiction)

The "L" Word

Note: MUST READ: Abby and Tay and Jenna all know Jack and Alex like each other  keep that in mind (sorry I didn’t know how to work this into the story)

[At The Bar: Alex’s P.O.V]

I don’t think I’ve been this nervous since the first time I sang in front of the guys. My palms are sweaty and I’m pretty sure everyone in the whole bar can hear my heart beating, even over the music. I haven’t had anything to drink except a glass of coke. I wanna be sober enough to remember this, or maybe I don’t. depending on what Jack says tonight.

“Hey Lex, Tay said you needed to talk to me?” he said approaching with a beer in his hand. As I looked into his dark chocolate eyes I could see the confusion in them.

“Uh, yeah, take a seat,” I said gesturing towards the booth we were standing near. It was in the back corner of the bar, somewhat secluded from the others but not enough that they wouldn’t notice a fight happening. This is a good place, “There’s something I need to tell you. I’m a little afraid as to how you’ll react but I really need to get it off my chest. Jack,” I said looking up into his eyes, “i.. love you,” I said deadly serious, so he knew I wasn’t kidding…

[Jack’s P.O.V.]

                “Jack, I.. love you,” Alex said looking into my eyes hopefully. My jaw dropped. If we were in a cartoon it would’ve hit the floor by now. I was speechless. Alex looked away from me, tears forming in his eyes, “I knew I shouldn’t have told you, I’m so stupid and now I lost my best friend,” he said tears streaming down his face now.

 I still couldn’t speak. I reached over the small table in front of us and lifted up Alex’s chin so our eyes met. I didn’t know how to tell him I feel the same way in words so I did it the only other way that happened in fairy tales. I kissed him. When I pulled out faces apart he looked at me and smiled like a child on their birthday, “I love you too Lex. I’ve been waiting my whole life to say that,” I said back. We walked hand in hand back to the group of people we were with and announced it to everyone, “Jalex is official!” I said holding up our intertwined hands to show everyone. Alex being the shy guy he is buried his, noticeably blushing, face into my chest to hide the giant goofy grin that was plastered onto it. Everyone cheered and we drank the night away. It was really fun.

[Back on the bus: (after wards) Alex’s P.O.V.]

                “JACK!” I sort of whisper screamed across the bunk area, “JACK!”

                “YEAH LEX?” he answered back peeking his head out of his bunk.

                “Lexy wants his teddy bear!” I said mimicking his voice from several months earlier from the whole ‘teddy bear incident’, we had never let him live that one down.

                He grabbed his Jake the Dog blanket and trotted over to my bunk, stumbling a little in the dark and got into my bunk with me. He wrapped the blanket around himself and then hugged me, pulling me into the little blanket cocoon he had made. I rested my head right in the crook of his neck and soon he fell asleep. His mouth was open, letting out obnoxiously loud snores and other noises, but I didn’t mind. I felt like a creep for watching him sleep but he’s just so cute. His long eyelashes lay gently on this cheeks as he rested and his big, spikey, skunk hair was stretching in all directions. After about 5 minutes I fell asleep as well.

[Morning: Jack’s P.O.V.]

                I woke up before Alex did and he was lying, curled up into a ball, his head resting on my chest like a pillow. I really had to pee, otherwise I would’ve just let him stay and gone back to sleep. I leaned up and kissed his nose, making his eyelids flutter open and his eyes to meet mine.

                “Morning Babe,” he said in his tired voice, with a sleepy smile, (So hot, I mean seriously all guys tired voices are hot).

                “Lex I gotta go to the bathroom you gotta move,” I said quietly and lifted him halfway up and moved his head onto his pillow, “Go back to sleep Lex. It’s only like 7:15,” I said covering him up with my Jake the Dog blanket, god I love Adventure Time.

[Alex’s P.O.V.]

                I rolled over into my bunk. It suddenly felt bigger and emptier and less inviting without Jack in it. I curled up under his blanket. It smelled like him, vanilla and cinnimon. I inhaled deeply and fell back into a blissful sleep.

                 I woke up later and everyone was packing. We were flying back to Baltimore the next day so I had to pack too.  Right as I was packing a phone rang from inside my bunk, “Jack your phone is ringing!” I called and he came sprinting in.

                “Hello?”

                “What do you mean flooded?!” Jack said with a terrified look on his face.

                “Who?”

                “Damnit Nancy,” Nancy was Jack’s neighbor in the apartment building he lived in.

                “Okay I’ll find a place to stay,” Jack hung up the phone.

                “My apartment got flooded. Nancy accidentally turned my water on instead of hers. I have nowhere to live. And all my stuff it gone,” Jack said rubbing the bridge of his nose. He sat down mumbling to himself, “I’m just done.”

                “Jack, don’t be silly. You can move in with me for now, and all of your cds and guitars are here so you didn’t lose EVERYTHING!” Rian said encouragingly.

                “Ri, your apartment isn’t big enough for you, Cassadee AND me,” Jack said as he continued to pack, “I’ll figure something out,” he said as he walked into the lounge area on the bus. I followed him.

                “Jack?” I said walking slowly towards him. I looked like a scared animal but I didn’t care, “You, can.. um.. you can live with me?” I offered afraid that he would think we were moving too fast. I mean seriously it’s been a day. He looked up at me and a huge smile spread across his face.

                “I didn’t even think of that!” he said excitedly as he stood up, “WHY didn’t I think of that?” he mumbled to himself, “Thank you so much Lex. Are you sure you’re okay with this?” he asked me and I said yes with so much enthusiasm he was taken aback. I was coming out of my shyness lately and it seemed to be impressing people.

                “Thank you soooo sooo much Lex,” he said, “I can’t thank you enough!” he hugged me tightly and walked out to finish packing.

                My best friend/boyfriend is moving in with me. I thought, mentally doing a happy dance. Nope it wasn’t in my mind. It was actually standing on a tour bus doing the cabbage patch, alone, and sober. Hmm… that’s new.
