All Time Slash - Fireworks. (Jalex FanFic)

Chapter 6

“It was so fucking funny, oh my god, you should have seen his face, Alex.”

“Yeah, yeah, I bet it was hilarious...”

Alex was sick to death of hearing Josh boasting.

“He was fucking crying his eyes out, stupid faggot!” Josh exaggerated; he looked like he was about to explode from laughing so hard. Alex forced a laugh through his throat; he didn’t want to raise suspicion.

“So he is actually gay then?” Alex questioned, looking toward his shoes uncomfortably.

“Yeah, he totally admitted it. He was all, ‘oh my god, I take it up the arse!’ It makes me sick.”

Alex looked up frowning, “I highly doubt he said those exact words, Josh.” His best friend was known to make bullshit stories up.

“Well no, but it’s true though, isn’t it?”

“I suppose...” Alex shifted on his feet; he just wanted the last bell to fucking ring already. Home seemed to be the only safe place at the moment. He didn’t want to listen to anymore of Josh’s fucking voice, and he seriously didn’t want to see Jack. The boy would probably want to interrogate him on why Josh was such a prick, and why Alex even bothered with him. Then it would end with Alex getting angry, and he didn’t want to hurt the boy even more than he already had been.

“He said some totally fucked up thing about you though, man.” Josh was smirking as he spoke, he was loving the fact he was just stirring up the drama.

“...W-what did he say?” Alex paused, looking up from his shoes, nervous as fucking anything. What the hell had Jack said about him?

Then it dawned upon him.

The weekend.

Jack could have said anything to Josh.

He could have said that Alex cried in his arms, that he comforted him, that Alex spilt his fucking heart out to the kid.

He could have told Josh all about Daniel...

No, the boy would never be so harsh.

“Come on, Josh. Tell me what the fuck he said!” Alex was shouting now, desperately wanting to shake the answer from his best friend.

Josh was still grinning; Alex felt like hurting him, the bastard deserved it, after all.

“Apparently you said that you’re more than just a friend to him.”

Alex’s eyes widened, his clenched fists loosening, his palm rubbing his cheeks as he realised what was said. Jack had taken his words the wrong way, Jack assumed Alex was beginning to like him; Jack was in a lot of fucking trouble.

“I didn’t mean it like that, oh for fuck’s sake!” His fingers were now in his hair, pulling at the strands through frustration and anger. “I need to find Jack, where did you leave him?”

“Wait, so you did say it to him?” Josh raised an eyebrow, he hadn’t caught on yet.

“Yeah, I said it, but I meant like, he’s becoming a good friend. Not just a friend.”

Even Alex didn’t know whether it was the truth or not. He hoped it was.

Chewing the inside of his cheek, Alex pushed his way through the sea of school kids, searching for that one boy. Fuck what he thought earlier; he really did want to see Jack right now. Well, it was more of a need than anything else.
