Jalex - My Toxic Valentine

Chapter 15

Jack’s P.O.V

Here I am, sitting on the pavement beside the man I love, as he bled, bled so much I feared his life. I rang an ambulance, and they are on their way. I had trouble getting my words out between the tears, but I think she understood.

“Finally” I heard Todd mutter. The anger inside of me rose and rose until before I knew it, I had left Alex’s side and pounced on Todd, throwing punches at him like there was no tomorrow.

“YOU SICK TWISTED BASTARD” I yelled at him, tears rolling down my face as I continued to punch. “WHY DID YOU DO THIS TO HIM YOU EVIL FUCKER!?” Suddenly, he grabbed my face and pulled it downward, brushing my lips to his in a mess of tears. I pushed away violently and got up, backing away from him slowly.

“Because I loved you…” he trailed off. I stood still in shock, my legs going wobbly as I tried to process the information he was feeding me. “I loved you since the first day I saw you. I tried to prise you away from Alex, but you wouldn’t let me. I tried to get Alex out of the picture, but you held onto him. You held onto me like I desperately wanted to hold onto you.” I fell to the ground beside Alex, holding his hand and gently coaxing him to wake up, my ears still listening to what Todd was about to say next.

“But then I realised that I couldn’t keep my reputation by having you. So I wanted you gone, out of my life. I decided to get your little boyfriend to do it for me” he began, advancing closer towards me.

“No...” I muttered, squeezing Alex’s hand tightly, begging him to wake up and save me from Todd, but I knew that would never happen. He was the one who needed saving this time.

“But now he’s out of the way…” he continued, cupping my face gently. I was terrified to move, so I just looked at him. “and now we can be together” that pushed me over the edge and I stood up and looked him square in the face, before punching it, putting in all my strength. Todd fell to the floor as my fist connected with his jaw with a satisfying crunch. He lay on the floor, holding his nose and moaning.

“Listen to me and listen close you sick bastard” I muttered darkly. “I don’t love you, I hate you. I will never want you in my life, and if you come near Alex every again, I swear to god, I will fucking kill you. Do you understand?” he nodded slowly and I kicked him, in the gut. I turned around and began to walk back to Alex, cradling him in my arms.

It wasn’t long until I heard sirens and an ambulance had turned up. They picked Alex up, checking his pulse and hooking him onto an oxygen mask. One of the paramedics came up to me, asking if I’d like to ride with him. an offer I gladly took. Suddenly, we heard a scream. We turned around and saw a female paramedic pointing to the school roof, a look of horror spread across her aging face. Following her gaze, we saw Todd standing on the edge of the building.

“Todd! WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING?!” I shouted up to him, and he looked down at me, a tear escaping his eye.

“I KNEW YOU’D NEVER LOVE ANYONE LIKE ME! MAYBE HEAVEN WILL TAKE ME!” he called down, before stepping back. “GOODBYE JACK BARAKAT! I LOVE YOU” he screamed before launching himself of the building. As he fell down, his yells split my eardrums, and I covered my ears, crouching over Alex’s chest, small sobs escaping me. A couple of paramedics attended to him, while the others got Alex into the ambulance. I followed shortly afterward and we took off, heading straight for the hospital, my hand in Alex’s the whole time.

Soon enough, we were at the hospital and I was pushed away from Alex while the doctors and nurses started examining him. I took a seat on the crappy plastic chairs in the waiting room, and text my mom, telling her where I was and what had happened. I got a reply in seconds, telling me that she wished Alex the best of luck and to give him a hug from her. I hoped that I could, that he hadn’t been taken away from me.

After what seemed like a century, the doctors came out, walking over to me. I stood up and met them halfway, my hands and legs shaking like mad. He put his arm on my shoulder and smiled at me.

“He’s broken two ribs and has a few bruises, but he’s on the mend. He wants to see you now” he said, and I was so happy I flung my arms around him, squeezing him tightly, making him chuckle. “Thanks son, now go to him!” he laughed and I released him, sprinting to room 4. I saw Alex sitting up in bed, pillows propping him up as he flicked through the channels to find something good.

“Simpsons is on channel 4” I whispered, and his head shot over to the doorway, where I stood, tears filling my eyes. I ran up to him, taking hold of his t-shirt and locking my lips with his. I felt his tongue tap my lip and I opened my mouth, feeling his tongue probe my mouth and I moaned before pulling away.

“Jack” he breathed, before pulling me closer to him and attaching our lips once more. After about 2 minutes of making out, we pulled away from lack of oxygen. “Baby?” he asked me, looking up at me smiling.

“Yeah?” I replied, smiling back at him as I ran my fingers over his jawline.

“What happened, after I passed out?” he asked. I took a deep breath, and I told him everything. Todd saying he loved me, saying how he wanted me gone, and how he eventually ended his life. By the time I finished, I was crying like a child. It had all dawned on me.  I killed him, he killed himself because of me! Almost as if he was reading my mind, Alex kissed my lips again and hugged me.

“Oh baby, I know it wasn’t your fault, you never wanted him to die” he whispered, and I nodded slightly. He looked tired, and looked up at me, rubbing his eyes. “Sleepy, nap with me?” he asked and I nodded, lying next to him and spooning him. I knew how he loved to be the little spoon, so I let him snuggle into me. Not before long, his breathing became heavy, and I knew he was asleep. I leant over and kissed his forehead, before laying my head in the crook of his neck and falling asleep.

How did I get so lucky?
