Bruised&broken (Jalex)

Getting up is harder then falling down.

After I finished dinner yesterday, Linda came to my room and caught me up with everything the doctor said. I came up with only point zero five percent constant of methamphetamine and the doctor predicts that I will be rid of that substance by my fourth week, I will stay for another week then I will be checked out and on with my life. Hopefully with Alex.

Speaking of him, he gave Linda a message to me saying that he has his answer already and will give it to me tomorrow at therapy. Tomorrow. I didn't have it today either because of Alex's family issues. I feed the koi fish today though, I think it's become a regular thing for me. It relaxes me. I think that when I'm out of here, I'm going to move out to a medium sized house near my dad's area and have a koi pound in the back. Maybe I'll ask them for a fish or two as a memory. I don't see why they wouldn't give them to me.

I can picture myself outside though, with a future child just feeding the fish and enjoying ourselves. That's sound like an amazing future to me. Just a nice small family who have a crazy koi pound in their backyard. Yep, that sounds like a life I want to live. I was pulled out of my daydream when I heard a knock on my door, someone didn't come in after so I know if wasn't Linda or any other nurse. They knock and then come in, it was just a part of the lifestyle here.

I walked up to the door confusing my brain as to who this could be; pulling open the door and regretting do so immediately, closing the door again in the process. Fuck.

"C'mon Jack, we need to talk. I want to pick off where we left off. " See. Told you.

"Tay I swear to god leave me alone! you utterly fucked up my life. And what do you mean where we left off!? you mean when you drugged me? fuck off. I don't want to see you. " I had enough of her bullshit in my life I was raging. "You fucked up things with Alex and don't even try to deny it! now I have a small chance of making things better with him and you WALTZ RIGHT UP AND FUCK ME OVER AGAIN! IM OVER YOUR BULLSHIT SO JUST FUCK OFF!" By now the nurses have probably heard and started coming over here. I sat down against the door and listened to the quiet muffled voices telling Tay to leave. Someone tried to open the door but failed. I stood up and opens it, coming face to face with Linda.

"Jack, mind telling me what the was about?" I opened the door and gestured for her to sit down and as did I.

"She fucked up my life when I was eighteen. She's the reason that Alex and I broke up and she just keeps coming around and I'm just done." He nodded and thought about things for a second.

"Do you want us to move her to another wing so she won't try to come here? and we'll stop her if she trys?" I smiled. People here as so nice.

"Yeah, I'd love that actually. Thank you". That was the end of the conversation. She just got up and left. Maybe I'll just go to sleep now.

Waiting outside Alex's office was even more nerve wracking then other times. I will get my answer today. I will know if Alex and I will ever e or never will be. I hope it's the first choice. I'd be completely shattered if he doesn't say yes.

"Come in!" I heard him shout. He voiced wavered so I know he was nervous too. Maybe he didn't choose yes so that's why he's nervous to tell me. Shit! he he says no the. My life will be shit again. I'm shaking now. "I said you can come in now." I hadn't realized that I didn't move. My feet felt heavy to the floor.

I walked in and Alex was sitting of the couch mainly used for his patients. He only sat there when it was for my appointment. "Um, hi." I said, my voice shaking. Damn, I'm so nervous.

"Okay Jack, let's get this over with." My face paled. Nope. He was going to say no. "Um, so I was wondering if you'd uhh," he pulled a ring box from his pocket and my eyes blew wide. No, he was not going to propose. It's too early! "woah, dude, not proposing but um. A promise ring." Alex wanted me to promise that I'd marry him one day. Not going to lie, I'm crying like a baby.

"YES!" I shouted. Probably loud enough for the whole center to hear. I practically ran over to him. I stayed near the door just incase he said no so I could run out of there. I grabbed his face in my hands and planted a big kissed right on the lips. I moved back breaking it to look in his eyes, "you're not joking right?"

"No." he opened the ring box and removed it. I as down next to him. He grabbed right hand and placed it on my ring finger. It was a simple silver band with 'J&A' on its front. i loved it. "It says forever on the inside ring. My answer if you hadn't already guessed is yes. We're not back to normal yet but one day we will be. I'll have you on Alison's papers as a father figure and everything. We'll be a happy family. I love you." he whispered I my ear and he embraced me.

"I love you too."
