Caught Up In The Moment But Not In The Right Way (JALEX) chapter 16

*ALEX'S POV*

~2 Weeks Later~

To say that mine and Jack's relationship was different would be an understatement. Some days would be good and others had me wanting to tear my fucking hair out.

Jack and I as people were also different. Sometimes, when I got a little bit to close for Jack's liking, he would shy away. Or when I would draw my hand back to do something, Jack would flinch. But we were getting better. If anything, this whole situation made our relationship stronger.

I sat at the kitchen table staring at a blank sheet of notebook paper, absent mindedly tapping my pencil against the surface. 

"Alex, would you mind stopping with that annoying tapping?"Jack said from the sofa in the living room. Since Jack was still recovering, we had to make the hard decision to postpone the rest of the tour so now I was back home in the apartment that I shared with Jack.

I sighed and threw the pencil across the table, sitting back in my seat. I was still trying to write the rest of this fucking album and I had the worst writer's block in the world. I only needed to do three more songs but everything that I'd written, well, it sucked ass.

Jack stood up from the couch and flicked the TV off, walking to where I was sitting and pouting. He pressed a light kiss to the top of my head. "Lets go to bed, babe,"He muttered.

I nodded and slid my chair back, following Jack to our room. "I'm gonna go take a shower,"I said pressing another kiss to his lips. He nodded and began stripping down to his underwear and climbing into bed.

I trudged to the bathroom with a fluffy towel and a clean pair of boxers. As I stood under the warm spray of water, I felt my muscles relax and sighed. Damn this felt good. I proceeded to washing my hair and then the rest of my body. When I was rinsed off, I was someone upset to leave the water but I eventually sighed, remembering the boy in the bedroom waiting on me.

I climbed out of the shower and dried off, pulling my boxers on and running a hand through my still wet hair. I looked at myself in the mirror and noticed how awful I looked. I had dark circles under my eyes and my skin was slightly discolored. I was stressed out, to say the least.

I walked back out into Jack and I's bedroom to see that Jack was curled up under the blankets, staring at me with those big brown eyes. I chuckled when I saw the sleepy expression on his face.

"You didn't have to wait up for me, baby."

He shrugged moving over in the bed and letting me crawl in beside him. "I know. I wanted to, though."

I nodded and rested my head on his shoulder. "How you feeling?"

He shrugged again. "Still pretty sore, I guess."

"I'm sorry,"I said for what seemed like the billionth time during the past 3 weeks.

"Would you stop saying that, Lex? It happened in the past. I'm over it,"He said, a smile on his face.

"Sorry,"I said again and pressed another kiss to his nose. "Can I see?"

Jack nodded, knowing what I was talking about and sitting up, throwing the blanket off so that his bare torso was exposed. I looked down at the scar that came as result of the surgery and couldn't help but sigh.

"It looks a little better. Can't wait to get the stitches out though,"He muttered. 

"I know, baby. I'm sorry."

"Alex,"He warned, drawing out the 'e'. 

"Shit, sorry,"I whispered. Jack laughed. I shuffled my way down so that I was looking directly over the scar that ran from the upper left part of his stomach down his side. 

"What are you doing?"Jack said, looking at me.

"I wanna make it up to you,"I replied and then started pressing small kisses up the ugly scar on his perfect body. "I'm sorry,"I kept whispering between kissed.

Jack's hands tangled in my hair and pulled me up so that I was looking in his eyes. Our faces were only millimeters apart. A chill went down my spine when I felt his soft lips brush against mine. "I love you so much, Alex,"He whispered and then planted his lips full onto mine. 

I smiled into the kiss, taking in the all familiar taste of Jack. I pulled away when my lungs were screaming for air. He laughed and pressed another kiss on my nose and I fell down against the mattress beside him. 

"I love you too, Jack,"I said after a while of just staring at the dark ceiling. The only reply I got was the low snores of the younger boy.
