Enormity // Jalex

14. Truth be told I never was yours.

Just a few updates:

1, Guys I fucked up, when I wrote this I had in my head that Alex's birthday was in September not December for some unknown reason. Don't shoot me please, it's just a date and this is just fiction and I can't change it because that also messes up next chapter!! Sorry!!!

2, I would also like to apologise for the length and quality of this chapter, I've just gotten back into the uk from 15 hours travelling and some badass thunderstorms delaying my flight so please don't be mad. AND my best friend just broke up with her long-term boyfriend so it's all hell breaking loose here.

3, I hit 1000 reads and 100 votes with the last chapter!!

4, I literally just read the some of he best frerard's ever. You should totally go and check them out even if you don't like My Chem because the story lines are amazing. They are;
The Anatony Of A Fall - Novembersmith (live journal but someone has uploaded on wattpad)
The Unholyverse Series - Bexless (archive of our own)

You won't regret it.

And that's it, again, sorry for the wait (oh and the editing) and hope you enjoy.

The sun was out and there was no clouds to be seen yet there was still the slight autumnal chill to the air. The leaves were beginning to turn a shade of golden brown, swaying gently from side to side in the breeze. A cold just of wind swept through the castle gates, lingering on the cobbled corners and creeping into the depth of wooden-thatched homes, alerting the people to the oncoming winter, screaming at them to prepare for yet another harsh year.

Alex, however, was very much a fan of the weather September bought, much preferring the cool days than the scorching hot ones that would burn his pale skin too easily. The day would have been perfect for him, he thought, had it not been the day Jack was going to die.

Peter had skipped the court process, instead ransacking the boys chambers for evidence that he may be a sourcerer. He had obviously found none because Jack knew better than to keep that sort of stuff but it didn't stop Zack being beyond furious that all his potions and lotions had been knocked carelessly off the shelves in search for something that didn't even exist there. It only ceased to make him more determined than ever to get Jack out of this but the predicament was serious and it was looking extremely unlikely. Even more unlikely with each passing second.

Despite finding nothing that could prove Jack as a sorcerer, Peter's own eyes could not deny the fact that he had found his son kissing this servant and a man servant at that. It was something that he believed his son would never do in a million years had he not been under some sort of spell and so the decision was made; Jack was to be burnt at the steak at twelve-midday on the 14th of September-coincidentally, also Alex's birthday.

Jack peeped up on his tiptoes looking through the bars at the very top of his cell that opened up onto the courtyard of the castle. His body shook a little in fear and his heart was racing at a mile a minute after seeing the huge woodpile being built up outside. He was beyond frightened, he was god damn petrified of dying despite telling Alex that it wasn't all that bad so many months ago or saying that it was okay to Alex yesterday. It wasn't okay. It definitely wasn't and it wasn't fucking fair because he hadn't used a spell on Alex. Even if he had he didn't see it as so much of a problem. It pissed him off to no extent that a Prince couldn't be with a servant and even more so that two men being together was frowned upon by the King. He would have been angry, furious even, and probably would have been punching the walls until his hands bled dry had he not been so scared of dying.
