His Time Ran Out (Jamilams fanfic)

His Dads' Dead Boyfriend

John, Thomas and, Alex had communicated this way for several months. Philip started noticing that his parents were talking to themselves. Late one night when Thomas and John had laid down in bed after putting the kids to sleep, Philip came in their bedroom.

"Hey Philip," John said.

"Can I have an explanation please?" Philip asked.

"What do you mean?" Thomas knew what he wanted to know.

"You guys always talk to yourselves, it's kinda weird," Philip spoke.

John sighed. "You have no clue."

"Yeah, that's why I'm asking!" Philip seemed annoyed.

"We should take him to Ale-,"

"No!" Thomas interupted John.

"Let's ask him then," John said. John asked Alex if they should take Philip to see his grave.

Yes, was written on a paper on the table next to their bed.

"Are you sure about this John?" Thomas was concered that it was too early to tell the kids.

"Yeah! What could go wrong?" John was really happy that somebody else besides him and Thomas was gonna know about Alex.

"Wait, who just wrote on that paper?" Philip was amazed.

"You'll meet him, tomorrow we are taking you out of school," John spoke eagerly.

"We are?" Thomas didn't like the sound of that. He still thought it was too early for Philip to meet Alex.

"Yes, we are, now go to bed child, exciting day tomorrow!" John demanded. Philip smiled and walked out of the room to his bedroom.

"Are you crazy?" Thomas asked John and he replied by shaking his head.

"No, I'm not crazy, I asked Alex," John said. "Goodnight baby! Long day tomorrow!"

"Goodnight," Thomas sighed and laid down.

The next day, they took the girls to school and took Philip out of school. They drove to the cemetery and Philip was asking so many questions.

"Who is he?"

"You'll see."

"When will we get there?"

"Soon."

"Why did he die?"

"Stop asking questions, we'll tell you everything when we get there," Just as John said that they pulled into the driveway of the cemetary. They parked and got out. They walked for two to three minutes before coming upon his grave. Philip almost walked past it.

"Stop," John said as he stared at the grave. Philip looked at the grave and bent over to touch it.

"Alexander Hamilton?" He read with confusion.

"Yes," Thomas confirmed.

"Who was he?" Philip asked.

"He was our boyfriend," John spoke starting to tear up.

"What do you mean?"

"Polyamorous, it's when more than two people make a realationship," Thomas explained. He hugged John and kissed his head.

"Woah. So... what happened?"

"He... committed suicide," John struggled to get the words out of his mouth.

"Aw, I'm sorry," Philip comforted his dad. All three of them were hugging now and John felt a hand touch his shoulder. He thought it was Thomas at first but then he looked over and saw nothing. John broke free from the hug and grabbed his phone out of his back pocket. He opened a journal app and lifted it outward. The phone flew out of his hand and was floating in mid air.

"Oh my god, what is happening?" Philip couldn't believe his eyes. The phone came back down into John's hands and he handed it to Philip.

I've always wanted a son named Philip, was typed into John's phone.

"Wow," Philip smiles.

"All those times you thought we were talking to ourselves, we've actually been talking to Alex," Thomas spoke.

"This is amazing!" Philip never met Alex, yet he felt a very strong connection.

"If only you met him when he was alive, he was beautiful and strong and great," John couldn't stop thinking of all the memories him and Alex made together. Alex grabbed the phone out of Philip's hands. It startled him a bit. The phone flew back into John's hands.

Stop, your making me blush, it read.

"I wish I could see you blush, it was so cute." John spoke, choking back his tears.

"Yeah, that was cute," Thomas agreed.

"Do you guys have any pictures of him?" Philip asked.

"Yeah, really cute ones of him sleeping." tears started coming out of John's eyes. Once again, Alex had stole his phone.

Oh my god, you still have pictures of me? I miss you guys so much!  Alex typed.

"We miss you too, Alex!" John pulled up some old pictures from when they just started dating Thomas. They looked happy. Really happy.

"Uh, if you don't mind me asking, why did you kill yourself?" Philip asked.

Everyone at the college I went to would bully me and steal my stuff and call me bad names. I just gave up, I guess. I really wish I hadn't though because I miss Thomas and John. 

"Oh, I'm sorry. The world is full of selfish, rude people and I understand it's hard to handle." Philip felt someone hug him and he immediately knew, it was Alex who was hugging him. he hugged back wondering why his arms weren't sinking through him. He was air. Thomas started to cry because him and John were looking at old pictures from seven years earlier, before Alex killed himself.

I probably shouldn't be mentioning this infront of the kid but, remember the time Thomas choked me with his di-

"NO, I'M NOT READING THE REST OF THAT, AND YES I REMEMBER!" John felt embarrassed. Thomas died of laughter.

He finally calmed down enough to talk, "Yes, I remember that too!"

"Dad, I'm hungry," Philip complained.

"Alex come with us!" Thomas exclaimed.

Of course.

"Good!" They all got in the car and drove home.
