i'll be the boy with the silver lining - jalex oneshots

[SMILE]

alex's pov:

i've just had the worst day ever. okay, maybe not ever - but it sure was the worst i've had in a couple months. i didn't want to deal with anyone right now. i just wanted to be alone. jack and i had plans to go to the mall later, and just talk. it wasn't an official date, so i didn't feel that bad cancelling it. of course i still felt bad, but not as bad as i would've done if we were going out to a restaurant or something fancy like that.

me: i'm really sorry, jack. i can't go out tonight. i'll see you at school tomorrow.

jack💜: alex, what's up? you seemed fine this morning...?

me: i'll explain tomorrow.

jack💜: i'll come over now, you seem like you need some comforting.

me: no, i'll be fine.

well, i don't think that jack listened to me, because five minutes after i got into my apartment, i heard someone knock at my door. by this time i was already in my pyjamas, and ready to get into bed. i sighed, unlocking the door and letting him in.

"don't you dare, please don't even try." i said. i knew that he was going to try and cheer me up, but i was just so down, it wasn't going to work. i didn't want to be cheered up right now - because then i'd feel bad about wasting jack's time, and not going out this evening.

but instead of saying anything, jack just made me sit on the couch, got me a blanket and a hot chocolate and sat down next tome. he cuddled me for a while, before looking me dead in the eye and smiling. and i seriously couldn't help it. i smiled back. he can make me smile just by looking at me, no matter what the situation is.

and that's when i knew. i really, truly loved jack barakat.
