Bruised&broken (Jalex)

Bubbles and kisses

"Alex you dingus!" I laughed as he blew more bubbles towards me. As him being a therapist, he took it in his own hands on methods to make the people here happier. Since he knows me mode, he decided that he could use some of his more insane methods. I quite frankly was enjoying it except for the few times a bubble would fly into my eye and it's sting like hell.

"Come on! you're enjoying this jay. Admit it." I was except that he poked me in my check while saying it.

"Well, i'm enjoying the bubbles but my ass hurts from sitting on the floor but you know what? I'd rather you blew something else." I said suggestively. It was a joke of course but I saw my chance and took it.

"You're gross. " He stated as he put the wand back into the container. Though he was smiling the whole time, I knew he enjoyed the inappropriate crack. He stood up and made that little motion with his hand, telling me to follow him. I got up and stretched hearing the satisfying cracking sound. I groaned in pleasure at the feeling. God damn, the ground was uncomfortable.

"So jay, I've talked to the people here and they said that you're making an excellent recover and are granting you more days out. So, would you like to go to the park with me?" he grabbed my hand and started walking towards the door, not even waiting for my reply in which he already knew; yes, I would like to go to the park with him.

The walk to the park was full of rock kicking, laughter and shoving. At one point an ice cream truck drove by and I nearly flipped my shit because I have not seen one of those since I was like, fourteen. Alex said it looked pretty sketchy so he promised me ice cream after the park. I had to agree with him; it's not the nineteen fifties anymore so who the hell knows what the ice cream in white vans carry.

We sat on the swings for a while which probably looked crazy to the very few kids here -it was fall so the cool baltimore weather was enough for parents to not let their kids outside- but imagine being six and seeing two grown men playing on a swing set. It's quite a sight man.

"Do you ever think that the clouds look down on us and say to their cloud friends 'God damn those human things are fuck sticks?" I pondered the question for a while before realizing that it was a fucking crazy ass question.

"What the hell are you on man?" I said giggling. Alex Gaskarth. The man that could make a man, giggle.

"Did you Mr. Barakat, just giggle?" I blushed. That's not something a man wants to do.

"You are completely avoiding the question man, what are you on to make you think that clouds have consciousness?" he stood up and grabbed my hand, leading me to the tunnels. If you have any question as to why there are tunnels in a park, well they're draining tunnels for when it floods. Most of the time it's where teenagers go to hook up or do drugs. For some reason though, Alex thought it was necessary to go near them. I hated them. They're all gross and sewagey. Not my forte. Although they have some really good graffiti in it. "Please for gods sake tell me that we are NOT going in those disgusting tunnels. I stopped walking.

"No you dork, we're just walking past. The answer to your question is a secrete so shhh." he put his finger up to his lips like the teachers in elementary school made you do. We walked a little further up hill where this huge oak tree sat. I used to come here all the time when I was younger. Jus to escape a little. "So jack. To answer your question in the shortest. I am on no drugs. Well unless you count me being in love with you as a drug because it sure as hell feels like it."

I was shocked to say at the least. I was never expecting Alex to be this kind after all that shit happened, but here he was, admiring for the second time that he loves me, beaming up t me with his gorgeous smile. That's exactly what he was. Gorgeous.

Then something happened that I wasn't expecting. He wrapped his arms around my neck an kissed me. I felt electricity run through me and my heart just about jumped out of my chest. I placed my hands at his waist and kissed back feverishly. Not in anyway to take things further but just to make up seven years of kissing.

We just stood there at the top of this hill under this big oak tree at the park. Lips together, fitting like puzzle pieces.

He wasn't like anybody else, is what my first thought was. He wasn't some paper person in this paper town who burned their paper future to stay warm. He cared. I've lived in this god damn town all my life and not once have I meet a person who cares about anything that matters, well apart from my love. Alex.

~~~~~~~~
Awe. Awe. Awe. I'm fang irking over my own story. Fuck me. But Alex and Jack kissed! they fucking kissed! If anyone can guess where the last part about paper people and stuff gets the next chapter dedicated to them. And don't cheat because I hate cheater. Not that I'd know if you cheated but please don't. I want to trust you people. Okay? okay.
