Alec's POV at the same time as the Lerin.
I leaned against my boyfriend. At that time, I didn't know that he was having one of his very germaphobic episodes. He said something but I couldn't tell what it was, so I looked up at him. "Hm?" "GEEEERRRRMMMMSSSS"
"O-Oh... Sorry..." I leaned off of him and scooted over to the other side of the couch so he wouldn't have to touch me. After a while I needed a reason to leave so that I wouldn't cause problems... Liam! That's genius. " I'll.... Um... Go check on Liam." Instead of going to my brother, I passed the glittery pink door and went to mine. I'm not even sure how long I stayed in there but it was fine cause I was ok with my guitar and the silence of my room. I didn't even notice my boyfriend open the door.Jax's POV
I had knocked on my boyfriend's door to see if he was ok, and I heard noise in there so I knew he was there. So I carefully opened the door to peek inside and I heard the most beautiful song... "🎶 I used to go 'round walking in all wrong places... Screaming "heads up!" Searching for all those faces... Staring right back at me, yeah. Tell me that this messed up world is filled with loneliness... Wrapping your hands with another grants your second guess... I need someone to fill me. But my mind says... Stop knocking on every door... This time around my heart isn't as ready as before.🎶" Even though most people didn't like to listen to Alec's music, I loved his voice and the lyrics didn't show the facade most people see him as... It showed the real, vulnerable, loving Alec that I knew and loved. "Stop tapping on every window, oh. And if we must push through we must be star Crossed lovers... Trip and get scared until you run for cover no, no, no,no, no,no. I'm gonna get by fine waiting in the lines... Taking it slow, slow, slow." I walked in and shut the door behind me as quietly as I could, but he still must've heard me because he jumped and almost dropped his guitar. "The hell do you want??" But when he saw it was me he calmed a bit. " Oh... Jax..." "That was beautiful..." I only got an annoyed sigh as he unplugged his amplifier and placed his guitar on its stand.
"Leave me alone, Jax." "Are you ok?" "I'm fine. Just leave me be." "I really liked your singing." "Leave me. Alone. NOW." I hated it when he raised his voice at me but I knew if I didn't leave... He'd probably do something rash and hurt me again... "...ok."
I didn't leave right away, instead I stood there for a few moments deciding whether I should leave or stay with him but it seems that was a moment too long. "Get out! " He Rose his voice more than he usually does to anyone much less me. And without another word, I left. Although he seemed to try and stop me before I shut the door. "Jax please..." "Didn't you say to leave? " "I did but I didn't mean to say it like that..." I let out a sigh and shut the door before heading back downstairs.
