Title from Somewhere in Neverland by All Time Low


(Alex's POV)

Two months. Lisa and I stopped dating, and it's been two months. We broke up because she wants me to be happy. And to be happy, I should be with Jack.

I like Jack, right?

Honestly, at this point, I'm so confused with life that I might as well implode. 

Is Jack nice? Hell yeah. Do I totally see us together making out until the sun explodes... Hell yeah. So why the actual hell haven't I said anything? He knows Lisa and I are over. Thing is, he doesn't know why. 

"Hey, Alex!" I hear someone shout. I open the window and see Jack waving. He climbs up the tree and I help him in.

Honestly, how the fuck does he climb that tree? He barely has any fat on his arms, let alone muscle. And with skinny jeans. How the fuck does he climb a fucking tree. Wear fucking SKINNY JEANS?

"So... What are you doing here Jack?" I clear my throat, trying to act natural. I lean again the desk, only to get stabbed with the edge of it and wince. 

"Oh... I just wanted to come over and chill. I have nothing else. I uh- I'm not interrupting anything, am I?" He shoots me a concerned glance. 

"Nah, I'm free," I shrug. "I was just going to uh-" Bang my head against this fucking desk because I'm an idiot twat. "Call my... Uh- cousin... About the mosquito- uh- thing."  Smooth

"Oh, sorry. Should I go?" His eyes widen. 

"No! No, it wasn't important anyway." I smile. 

"Anything involving mosquitos is important," he smirks. 

"Is today important? Something feels important about today," I furrow my eyebrows. It's like my own memories are just teasing me right in front of my brain. 

"What? No- I mean, yeah- but no," he stutters. 

"Okay then..." I purse my lips. "Is it your birthday?" 

"Alex, it's no one's birthday- Well I mean, it is someone's birthday, but no." 

I blink and stare at him, now completely lost. Wait a minute...


"We've been together for a year," Jack smiles and leans in for a kiss. I smile and press my lips to his. "I've loved you for a year, Lexy!" He giggles.

"I've loved you for a whole year too, Jacky," I roll my eyes and peck his cheek. "Wow. I can't believe I'm able to handle you for an entire year," I joke. 

"Hey," he pouts. 

"I'm kidding," I press another kiss on his lips. 

"Let there be many more?" He tilts his head to the side.

"Let there be many more," I nod and he tackles me, straddling my hips.

"Good," he whispers into my ear, sending chills down my spine. He kisses my neck and trails up to my jaw. Then my cheek. He smiles down at me and kisses my lips.

"Jacky-" my breath hitches as he sucks on my neck.

He looks at me. "We're not going to do anything. Not yet," he says softly. We're both hesitant about going all the way. We love each other, yes. But we're both waiting for a good time. Besides, I'm really self-conscious of my body, and he respects that.

He kisses my nose. "I love you so much, Lexy."

"I love you more, Jacky."

Not even possible," he grins and kisses me again.


I stare at Jack. It's our anniversary, and he's trying to "celebrate" even know I don't know it. My heart aches at the thought.

"Are you okay?" He raises an eyebrow.

I nod. "I'm fine."

He smiles. "You wanna play?" He points to the guitar. I shake my head and walk over. I hand him the acoustic guitar because he's much better than I am.

He starts playing Somewhere In Neverland. I guess it's because it's the only song I know.

I join in for a few lines.

I watch his facial expressions as he plays. He really brings out his emotions during this.

"I can be your lost boy, your last chance, a better reality, yeah. Somewhere in-"

"Jack, I have this new song. Do you wanna hear it?" I smile as he walks into the room. He nods and plops down onto the carpet as I clear my throat and start playing a soft tune. 

"Neverland," I say. Jack doesn't realize and keeps playing. "JACK!" I shake his shoulders. He stops abruptly and looks at me.

"Alex are you-"

"NEVERLAND," I near shout. His eyebrows furrow in confusion.

"Yeah, the song-"

I shake my head. "Jacky, it's me."

His face changes to a sudden understanding. "Alex-"

I cut him off and do what I've been subconsciously wanting to do for months.

I kiss him.
