Life Is Too Short

Chapter Twelve

Miles set Jax's bag in his bed. Jax sat down with a sigh. "You look like shit dude and I mean that in the nicest way possible." Jax chuckled. Jax rubbed his temples. Miles noticed this, and he sat down beside Jax.

Jax laid his head on Miles' shoulder. "Guys dinner," Miles' mom yelled from downstairs. Jax sighed as he picked his off Miles' shoulder.

Miles stood up and extended a hand to Jax. "I don't your help all of the time," Jax snapped. Miles took a step back. Jax pushed himself off the bed without even acknowledging what he did.

Jax got to the bottom of the stairs and started to get dizzy. Jax held onto Miles' shoulder. Jax realized what he was doing and immediately moved his hand. "Seriously dude I'm just trying to help. Just let me." Jax glared at Miles and continued walking to the kitchen.

Time Jump: After Dinner

Jax was curled up on Miles' bed. Miles sat down next to Jax. "I'm sorry for snapping at you man. I feel like crap and I'm not used to feeling sick all the time and when I feel like crap I get angry at everything a-"

Miles placed his finger on Jax's lips to make him be quiet. He dropped his finger. "I'm not mad, okay? I understand. I snapped at everyone when I was sick," Miles consoled. He rubbed Jax's back until Jax started fell asleep.

Jax turned his head over to Miles and whispered, "I love you, Miles. And not in a platonic way. In a romantic way."

Miles grinned. "I love you too. And not in a platonic way." Jax smiled and fell asleep. Miles laid down beside him and also fell asleep.

Time Jump: The Next Morning

Jax woke up to see Miles curled up beside him. Jax stared at him for a few minutes until Miles woke up. Miles sat up and smiled. "How are you doing?" Jax shrugged his shoulders.

Jax laid his head on Miles' lap. "Chemo is kicking my ass but I'm ok. So about last night..."

Miles nervously laughed. "I don't know. Do you wanna define the relationship," Miles asked.

Jax sat up off of Miles' lap and asked, "Well, Miles Gregory Lennox, will you do me the honours of being my boyfriend?" Miles grinned and nodded. Jax wrapped his arms around Miles. "I'm stealing all of your warmth."

Miles chuckled. "Take all the warmth you want." Jax pulled himself out of Miles' arms and checked his phone. Jax looked down at his phone and frowned. "Everything ok?"

Jax just shook his head. He took a deep and said, "It's a text from my sister. It says, 'Jax, I am sorry to tell you mom and I are leaving the city. Mom could take either me or you, and since I was home she took me. I tried to convince her to take both of us but she couldn't. I'm so sorry that you have to live with Dad. I know what he did to you, and I know it gets worse as time goes on. Mom will continue to pay for your treatments. As soon as I know details, I will send you the address. We are also changing our phone numbers, so this will be disconnected soon. Love you, Sarah.' I can't believe they left." Jax's eyes started to fill with tears.

Miles pulled Jax back into his arms. "It's gonna be okay. You can stay here. I can drive you and take care of you. You don't have to stay with your piece of crap father." Jax just sat sobbing in Miles' arms.

"We can get my stuff later. Right now I just want to sit here."

Miles kissed Jax's forehead. "As you wish my dear."
