You Keep Me Safe (Jalex)

3: I'm A Walking Travesty

Title From: "Therapy" -All Time Low.

After a week of typing out messages and deleting them, I eventually decide to click send. What do I have to lose?

Hi, it's Alex

Hey! How r u?

I'm ok ig, u?

I'm doin okay, but are you sure you're ok?
I heard what your dad said :(

Wdym?

I heard him tell you not to "make me gay" and not to ruin his life. Idk I think there's more to your dad than meets the eye. He seemed all nice to us but he treats you like crap and it doesn't make sense
Sorry I'm getting too personal

He said that because last time he had an office friend, the guy's son became literally obsessed with me and then when I told him I didn't wanna be with him, he made up shit about my dad and of course his dad took his son's side and yeah

Wait, so are you actually gay? Too soon to ask?

No, I am...

I click the screen off, my hands shaking. Oh God, he'll hate me after this, I know it, I know it...

*ding*

I reach for my phone, taking a deep breath before going back into our conversation.

Oh, I completely support you!

I was so scared you'd hate me for it xD

Nahhh I couldn't hate you

You don't even know me

But I want to

No, you don't

How many friends do you have?

None...

Cool, I'm your friend now

I smile at my screen, feeling a blush paint my cheeks. He was too cute. I haven't had someone be this nice to me in ages.

Fav color?
Fav food?
Fav season?
Thing most people don't know about you?

Okay...
1. Dark blue
2. Pizza, duh
3. Fall
4. The three things above, you're like the only person who knows that now xD

Noooo, that's sad :( you seem like such a nice person, I don't get how you don't have friends??

I'm a walking travesty, Jack, but I smile at everything, and as soon as people see past that facade, they leave. You will too, so please don't try to get too close to me. I'll just hurt you...

I look away from my phone, turning the screen off, my mood suddenly changing entirely. I knew I'd hurt Jack, but I didn't want him to leave. He'd have to. It's better to just forget about him now before we both crash and burn in the future.
