Alex's P.O.V
"You need someone to come back for? What about your mom?" Jack asked and I think Vic and Kellin were eating imaginary popcorn.
"She has my dad and my step sisters." "What about your friends?" "Rian has his girlfriend Cass. Besides if I stay I'll get to see you everyday." I said chuckling. "Then after senior year I won't be here Alex." He pointed out. I frowned seeing he had a point and I really couldn't come up with anything else. Fuck you Jack and your brain.
"Alex how am I suppose to help?" "I never said you had to 'help' Jack."
He groaned and left and I just stood there.
"Don't look at me like that Kellin or you either Vic you forget I know your secret."
Jacks P.O.V
Worth coming back for? I was pacing in a my room. "Imagine as I'm passing the pews in a church cor-" I hit my phone off. I'm not in the mood to listen to a song about a whore.
Why do I even care that he doesn't want to come back? Well he didn't say that only said he wanted no needed to find something to come back for.
His mom? His dad? His dog? I don't fucking know. I knew I'd see him tomorrow and I'd keep seeing him. Till they pulled the lifeline and then he'd be with Vic and Kellin. I don't know who I'd feel sorry for.
Andddddddd another point to bring up in this mess is if he does comeback how am I gonna walk in there and be like "Alex?!? You're awake!" Without one creeping the fuck out his mom and two I've never dealt with someone in a coma. Wait if they don't remember?
"Oh they remember." I fell flat on my ass and my hair fell down with me. It was all in my face. I looked up.
"May?" "Hi Jack." "Hi jack? Hi Jack? you haven't visited me once since you died 3 years ago and all I get is a hi jack?!" She looked at the floor her feet above it if course.
Why couldn't coma spirits have like blue pixie dust or some shit following them around. Okay that's a little far out but still come on! Wait why am I thinking about Alex damn it. Think Jack.
"Jack I know people in comas when their spirits is because I woke up before I died and I remembered everything y'all did over those two weeks." "Why didn't you appear to me then!?!" "I couldn't Jack. You remember how bad Joe and you were? If I showed up and you said anything which in that state you would have. They'd think you were crazy and sent you away or something."
I nodded slowly not fully understanding why she was here. Not that I was upset. I mean at least she's okay right?
"Jack,Alex will come around. He won't let you down. So now you have to prove to him that you want him to come back." she said."Do you not understand the fact I can't just have a causal convo with him in the hallway?!"
"Didn't you earlier?" "Yeah but-" "No buts Jack you talked to him and he is not different." "He is in a coma." "GODAMN IT JACK GET IT THREW YOUR THICK SKULL THAT HE WILL STAY IN THE COMA IF YOU DONT TRY TO HELP HIM!" "For motherfucking sake alright."
Then she smiled.
"Wait how did you know I talked to him." "Kellin talks to much." "How do you know Kellin?" "Goodbye Jack." "May! May!"
She disappeared. Well goodbye to you too.
I pulled my knees to my chin and rocked back and forth.
Alex is in a coma. He needs something to come back too. May knows this. Kellin and Vic did the same thing. Didn't tell me till I noticed they floated up to me. But their dead. Alex is in a coma. He could come back.
That's it! It scares me. What if I get pissed at him. He comes back and then he treats me like shit. Then again Alex seems like a nice guy. So did the woman in the scary movie I watched last night. Came out of her room with a hatchet. Wiped out everybody.
Not the point here. The point is if he comes back. 1. Would we get along? 2. Would he remember this? Even though May did doesn't mean Alex would he could be different, 3. Does he want to come back?
His life is in my hands. I mean he is ticking time bomb literally. In 2 weeks they pull the switch. I have 14 days to talk Alex into it. Oh and one more question.
What happens if he tries to come back and can't. What happens then? God damn it!
I'm not Dr.Phil I can't do this but if I don't he is gone. No in/and/or/buts about it. So congrats welcome to the journal of Jack Barakat. The kid with skunk hair that's gonna try save a kid he barley knows besides the fact he likes blink 182 he stared at my shirt today that's the only way I knew.
I can't deal with this shit. I'll talk to him tomorrow.
Alex's P.O.V
I was in hallways with Kellin and Vic. They are some messed up fuckers.
Okay back story motherfuckers. I was at the top of the social chain. Which is why I was sorta surprised Jack didn't freak the fuck out on seeing me walk around the school. Then again Jack was the type of person to hide and probably not know the principals name.
I was thinking. Don't get me wrong I'm probably gonna come back. I mean I don't want to die but I've been like this for so long I'm kinda scared. What happens when I come back? I can't just run to Jack. I mean I could. Maybe I don't know.. I look around and see my group still the same. Beau,Oliver,Jenna and Austin. And then I saw Jack talking to people I knew as Alan,Tay and Jordan. Did Austin just wink at Alan? Oh girl. CASHBY!
I'm in a coma and I'm fangirling. Maybe my body is have a break dance party at the hospital.
Austin walked up followed by Oli and Jenna and of course Beau being his sassy self pranced his way over. Jack looked like a scared puppy but they seemed to be getting along. I moved closer and Jack didn't notice cause I was behind himrt.
"We could hang out sometime." Austin said to well everyone. "How about today?" Alan asked. "I have to visit someone in the hospital." Jack said. Would he really go to visit me? "Who?" Tay asked. They could be brother and sister I swear. "Alex Gaskarth." Beau put his prissy hand down. Austin and Alan looked at him and Jenna looked at her feet, Oli leaned into the locker sighing. Jordan kinda just put an arm around Tay not knowing what to do at the moment. TAYDAN! okay too many ships.
Jack looked kinda lost. "What?" "H-how is he?" Oli asked. "Okay?" Jack asked. "We haven't visited him in forever." Jenna said sounding guilty. "Why?" Jordan asked being one to step in. I could be friends with these people. "Because well I think y'all know the story-" Beau started. They nodded. "Well we were who the guy had the gun pointed at and we couldn't look at him knowing that we caused it." Beau finished.
I gasped and that's when Jack knew I was there but he couldn't just turn and stare so he said what he thought I wanted to be said.
"Alex did that to protect y'all. He cared and he fought that's not your fault. He loved y'all that's why he did it. Don't you dare feel guilty." Jack stated and they nodded.
I've made up my mind.
