Challenge Accepted: Sick Little Games (Jalex)

My Only One

Chapter 6

Fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck.... Was all Alex could think as Lisa pulled him through the door to the hotel room.

"Lis, I-I'm really tired, I think we should just-"

"Oh, that's okay, I'll do all the work.." She smiled seductively and Alex's head began to spin; he really didn't want to do this, he wanted Jack but he couldn't break Lisa's heart like this. They'd been together for years, it would be cruel to break it off now. But didn't know if he could carry on lying to her.

She pushed him down onto the bed and leaned over him, pulling her shirt over her head. Alex gulped down the lump in his throat and closed his eyes. 

Just as Lisa was about to unhook her bra, he found the strength to push her off. She looked at him with genuine confusion.

"What's wrong?" She asked, her eyes full of concern.

"I can't do this." Alex replied, shaking his head.

"There's someone else isn't there?" 

Alex looked up in shock, how could she have known? 

"You don't have to lie to me, Alex. I can tell when something's not right!" She silently pulled her shirt back on and headed to the door, Alex didn't say a word the whole time. "Oh, and I want your stuff out of my house as soon as you get off tour!" She called back before the door slammed behind her.

Oh fuck, Jack!

Jack had seen Alex leave with Lisa, he would never forgive Alex for this! 

He left the hotel room and made his way back towards the bus, scenes of screaming and shouting playing through his mind the whole time. He really hoped Jack wasn't too angry, but he knew better than that.

"What the fuck did you think you were doing?" Jack yelled at him when he entered the bus. The rest of the crew had gone out drinking again, it was a regular pass time on the All Time Low bus. The two of them stood in the kitchenette, the rest of the bus was completely silent but Alex felt like he was being judged from all angles.

"I don't know, she just turned up and dragged me away! Nothing happened!" Alex replied, desperate for Jack's trust back.

"I knew this would happen!" Jack spat, "You just can't keep your hands off the whores can you, Alex?"

Alex's eyes began to well up, he didn't know what to say, he hadn't meant to hurt Jack like this.

"Fuck you, Gaskarth!" Jack shouted and began to turn away. Alex grabbed his arm and pulled him back, he couldn't be without Jack.

"Jack, I'm so fucking sorry! I never meant for any of this to happen!" He whined, tears blinding him.

"Just go back to Lisa, Alex. You're obviously a lot happier with her..." With that, Jack broke down into floods of tears, Alex's heart broke to the sound of his friends sobs.

"No, Jack! I split up with Lisa, I couldn't lie to her and I couldn't lie to you! I love you, Jack! I don't need Lisa or anyone else, I just need you!"

Jack looked up, his eyes were blurry from the tears. He smiled slightly and looked Alex in the eyes. 

"You mean it?" He asked.

All Alex could do was nod. 

The two then engaged in a warm embrace that just felt right.

Jack had what he wanted but more importantly, he had his best friend back.
