Don't let go.

The only hope for me is you.

*Jack's P.O.V*

The walk home was silent. But it wasn't an awkward uncomfortable silence, it was a nice, warm, comforting silence. I can't believe alex had beaten up his so called 'Best Friend' Josh, for me. Maybe he did actually care about me..Even though the voice in my head says otherwise. We finally arrived home, I grabbed the key from the carpet and opened the door. We walked in and I walked over to the fridge and saw a note.
 I'll be home at seven, the money's on the table, order some pizza for you and alex. I sighed in relief. My mom wasn't here to see the bruises on our faces.

"So what are we gonna do about this?" Alex pointed at his face, there was a huge bruise on his cheek. Luckily I had nothing on my face, I only had bruises on my back and stomach.

"Makeup." I answered, and ran upstairs, leaving alex with a confused expression, I walked in the bathroom and grabbed the makeup bag. I rushed back downstairs.

"Make sure not to make me look like a barbie doll jack." he said in a sarcastic voice. I chuckled

"No silly, we'll use foundation, or something. I just need to find your skin color." He nodded. He was a bit lighter than me.

"W-Wait jack...Can I ask you something?" I raised my eyebrow

"Uhm, sure." He looked at me with puppy eyes

"Do you use that to cover up your cuts?" I sighed and began to cover up the purple bruise on his face, ignoring the question. He grabbed my wrist and I winced and pulled away in pain.

"Jack, answer me."  I rolled my eyes and mumbled

"Y-Yes." I could feel tears welling up in my eyes.
 Don't cry jack, you'll make yourself seem weaker than you are now. I heard the voice in my head shout. I quickly wiped away the tears and finished covering up the bruise on alex's face.

"There." He looked down, he seemed really hurt. He wrapped his arms around me and pulled me close to his body

"Jack...Why?" I shook my head and before I knew it I was crying on alex's shoulder. I didn't feel like talking about it. And alex understood that. He pulled away and kissed my lips.
His pink soft lips against mine just felt so right. I smiled and kissed him back. I took his hand in mine and pulled him onto the couch, we cuddled with eachother and turned on the tv. Neither of us were paying attention to the show that was currently playing. We were both lost in our thoughts, well, I couldn't exactly speak for alex. But I was. A few hours passed by and alex broke the silence

"Do you want anything to eat?" I shook my head

"Not hungry." I lied, alex stared at me for a moment before picking up the phone and ordering some pizza. He totally knew what I was doing. 
You're already fat enough jack. I heard the voice in my head say. After a few minutes I heard the doorbell ring. Alex grabbed the money off the table and gave it to the woman, I started flipping the channels, and then I looked at alex who was still talking and laughing with the girl, alex was shirtless so of course that's what might've attracted the bitch, and his face too. I frowned and walked over to alex giving him a hug from behind and kissing his neck. The girl gave him the pizza and took the money. I put the pizza on the table and walked back to the couch

"What the hell was that?" I heard alex say in a laugh

"N-Nothing." I blushed and kept my eyes focused on the tv.

"Nothing you say? It seems like someone's jealous" He said running over to me and poking my sides. I was laughing uncontrallably

"Alex stop!" He laughed

"Not until you admit you were jealous!" I sighed

"Fine fine!! I was jealous.." He looked in my eyes and kissed me roughly. I smiled
