His Time Ran Out (Jamilams fanfic)

Don't Turn Your Back

A couple day later, Alex came home from school and saw John sitting on the couch. He had a bloody nose and a black eye. He was sobbing.

"Baby, what happened?" Alex threw his stuff on the ground and ran over to John and sat next to him.

"I was d-driving to the store to pick up some m-milk and, and a guy like hit the back of the car, s-so I got out of the car and so d-did the guy and he just started attacking me!" John cried and hugged Alex. Alex touched it and John pushed his arm away.

"Wait, I want to touch it babe," Alex said. He put his hand on John's face but this time he didn't get pushed away.

"Babe stop, it hurts," John spoke and hugged Alex.

"Is this a joke, John? Because if it is it's not funny!" Alex was starting to think it was makeup.

"Alex, it's not fake, why would I joke about this?" the blood from John's nose leaked down his face. Alex got a tissue and wiped the blood off his face.

"Did you get the guys license plate?" Alex asked.

"No, I forgot to look," John explained.

"Babe, I honestly don't know what to do," Alex said with panic in his voice.

"I don't know either, Alex!" John exclaimed, "It hurts so bad!"

They heard a knock on the door and they knew it was Thomas.

"It's open!" Alex yelled. Thomas walked in.

"You guys really shouldn't leave your-" Thomas turned and looked at John, "Oh my god, what happened babe?"

"He got rear ended by another car and the guy who hit him beat him up!" John got up and hugged Thomas. Thomas wiped his tears away and John winced when Thomas touched his face.

"Baby, are you okay?" Thomas hugged John and the blood from his nose was all over his shirt.

"No, Thomas. It hurts!" John began to cry even harder.

"John, please don't cry, it's gonna be alright!" Alex said as he walked up to them to join the hug. Alex tried to wrap his short arms around them but he couldn't reach. The sight of seeing his tiny boyfriend try to hug them made John giggle. Thomas squished Alex in between them and they all hugged.

"John, how about we go to the bathroom and clean your face a bit?" Thomas suggested.

"Yeah," John responded as they walked to the bathroom.

"You coming Alex?" Thomas asked.

"No, I'm gonna start my homework." Alex replied.

"Okay babe," Thomas said and kissed Alex. He went into the bathroom with John.

"How bad does it hurt?" Thomas asked John.

"Bad," John spoke.

"Lemme see," Thomas pulled John's face closer and gently placed his own lips on John's. John hesitated a bit, thinking it would hurt his face more than it was but he didn't care if it did. They were kissing and until blood started falling out of his nose again. Thomas wiped his nose with a tissue and softly wiped his face. He still had a few scratches and the black eye.

"What are we supposed to do about that nasty black eye, babe?" Thomas looked at John.

"Make it go away, Thomas!"

"With what? Magic powers?" Thomas felt bad he couldn't make it go away. He hugged John and told him it would go away over time. They walked out and caught Alex with his arms under the table.

"What are you doing?" Thomas asked. He scared him. Alex jumped and cried out in pain.

"Oh shit!" Alex cried.

"What's wrong?" John asked.

"Nothing, I-I'm fine!" Alex tried not to scream. Thomas saw blood dripping onto the ground from under the table.

"BABE!" Thomas screamed. He ran over to Alex and forced him to put his arms on the table. There was blood coming from several cuts in his wrist.

"Oh my god! Alex! What the fuck!" John walked over to the table and sat in the chair across from him.

"Don't touch it!" Alex exclaimed.

"Why the fuck did you do that?" Thomas yelled. He grabbed a clean towel and placed it around his wrist.

"You scared me! I didn't mean to!" Alex started crying. 

"Aw, baby, why did you do it in the first place?" Thomas asked and wiped Alex's tears off his face.

"Because, I felt like it!" Alex yelled and leaned into Thomas' chest. John stood up and walked away. He was crying and shaking.

"John, what's wrong?" Thomas looked at John.

"It fucking scared me!" John was crying an ocean.

"Babe, I'm here. I'm okay!" Alex smiled at John and John smiled a bit too.

"Yeah, we got you John!" Thomas stood up and hugged John. He could feel the younger man shaking. It was worse than it looked. He wouldn't stop shaking. Thomas kissed his head and sat him down on the couch and turned the TV on.

Oh my god, what if he actually killed himself just now? John thought.
