just the way we are (jalex)

Chapter 2

Jack

The next day was the weekend and Alex, Zack, and Rian were all due to come over. I had got dressed kind of early this morning, I was just too excited to sleep. Mom was out shopping and dad had went into work for some reason, so the house was to myself.

Around twelve o'clock in the afternoon I heard the desired knock on the door. I got to the door and swung it open to reveal the smiling faces of my closest friends: Zack and Rian. A little wave of disappointed came over me because Alex wasn't here yet. I shook it off and opened the door wider for the two of them to come in. "We go down to the basement. You guys know where that is. I'm going to go get us drinks." I told them as I was headed toward the kitchen. No sooner then I set foot in the kitchen I heard another knock on the door. My heart  fluttered a little in my chest hoping that this time it would be Alex.

  I went to the door and opened it revealing a semi-nervous Alex. He was in his skenny jeans, gray this time and topped with a white shirt. "Hey you came!" I said with a smile.

"Well did you think I wasn't?"

"No, I just wasn't sure is all." I could feel the pinkness coming to my cheeks. "Well, come in." I told him

He stepped in the door taking in the place. "Nice house." He told me. I mutter a thank you.

"The guys are down in the basement. I'll show you where it is." I said leading him to the back of the house toward the entrance to the basement where you could already hear drums and a bass playing. "I'm gonna go get drinks. Do you want one?" I asked he nodded. I walked off toward the kitchen glancing back once to see Alex going down the stairs. I grabbed four cans of soda and went to the stairs myself. I stopped short when I heard voices. I'm not usually one for listening in to other's conversations but I just couldn't help myself.

"...yeah Jack is a really cool guy. I'm surprised he invited you over though he usually doesn't talk to anyone beside us. You must be special." I heard Rian say. I couldn't help but smile to myself because Alex was becoming something special to me. I know its only been like a day since we met but there was just something about him that made me want trust him. He really made a strong impact on me. I hope I don't scare him away. I think I might be developing a crush on the brown haired boy.
