Jack's P.O.V

To Lex
I miss you so much Lex, you busy after work? I want to make you dinner, then we can drink Hot Cocoa, and watch movies and cuddle all night. Sound good?

I sent the message to Alex, he's been busy nonstop lately, with being promoted to store manager at Zumiez and being the Best man in Zack and Jenna's wedding (she of course said yes!) I haven't seen him in over a week, like we text and stuff, but it isn't the same. I grinned as I received a text message,
From Lex
Oh my god, that sounds wonderful baby, you're lucky that tomorrow is my ONE day off!   ;-)  I'll be over around  6? I have to finish this damn schedule first!  :-(

I laughed at the text. God. I miss him. Even though we haven't seen each other, I have learned so much about him, we have really opened up too each other. It's phenomenal.  I learned that he can sing, he writes songs, he was born in England, and he has one sibling.

To Lex Okay baby, so... Spaghetti or Chicken Nuggets? Because that is what. I have that isn't weeks old. Haha. Six sounds good!  :-)

I was gonna tack an I love you on the end, but that just didn't make sense. Although I slowly realized it was true, there was no way he felt the same way, I mean we are just over a month. I am going to tell him.  I have to! It's driving me insane, this love thing. I'm ditching my original idea, and I'll just surprise him at work instead. So I run to the store and grab chocolate for Alex. "Shit!It's 5:30 already?" I swear at myself. I pull into the mall and read the text Alex sent me.

From LexSurprise me!  ;-) But I'll see you soon okay?  :-)

I walk into the mall, and beeline for Zumiez, I grab a rose that a girl was selling for a dollar across the walkway, then walked in to see a girl named Sofia working. "Hey!" I smile at her as I walk to the counter. She smiles back "Hi! How can I help you?" I smile again "Umm. So my boyfriend is your boss, you know Alex? I came to surprise him, is there anyway I can go to his office?" I plead. Sofia grins and claps her hands "That's so cute! Yeah, just go through that door, but be careful he might be in a meeting with Tyler." I nod, "Thanks sweetie!" I wave as I walk back. I slip into the back, and  am about to knock on the office door when I hear, Is that moaning? I don't even knock, I open the door, furious to see Alex and Tyler making out on the desk. I was frozen, I was horrified. "Lex?" I squeak out, my voice weak as tears want to fall. Alex stops sucking face with Tyler and looks at me, guilt ridden. "Jack... I can..." I see Tyler smirk behind Alex, that just pisses me off. "You can what? Explain? No don't even try, because I don't want to hear it!" Alex just looks at his feet and mumbles "Jack..." I look at his gorgeous eyes, my vision blurred by tears. I threw the rose and chocolate on the desk in the tiny space.  I shake my head and respond weakly."Here's your damn presents, And I thought I loved you." I say bitterly as I wiped a tear off my damp cheeks. His head shot up "What?" I turned to walk away "Don't make me say it again." I growl, knowing he heard me. I walk out of the back and right out the store "Jack wait!" I hear Alex scream after me, but I didn't care, I just kept walking, not stopping until I reach my car. Then I break down, I began to cry,  so hurt by what happened. I called Rian. Thankfully he answered right away. "What up Jacko?"  I am so weak. I was crying so much. "Rian.. He cheated on me." Rian sighed "He did what?" I hiccuped, and continued "I went to surprise him at work, and I walked in and he was making out with his sort of ex, and friend Tyler." Rian was furious "I'm going to kill that bastard... Jack you we're so happy, and he had to ruin it."  I sniffles as I started my car. "This is why I never got attached to people, because all they do is break your fucking heart."  Rian sighed "Hey man, why don't you come over, and we will crack open a beer or two, and watch movies." I smile weakly "That sounds nice, I'll be there in a hour, I have to stop somewhere first." Roan sucked in a breath "Don't do it Jack.." I smiled "I'll be fine, I just need to talk to her Ri." Rian  paused "Be careful, you know what happens when you go visit your nana, you get sad."  I sighed "I know. But she helps me. See you soon Ri." I pulled into the lot of the nursing home as I hung up, grabbing the bear I bought her last week, from my backseat and punched in the code, then went up to the desk. "Hey Jack!" Gretchen, the sweetest nurse ever beamed. "Hey Gretchen!" Gretchen pointed to the lounge, and laid her hand over mine in the desk. "She's in there honey. How bad did he hurt you?" I nodded and squeezed her hand "Really fucking bad. Thank you so much." That was one thing about Gretchen, she knew when I was hurting. She is such a sweet lady, she made me feel better. I walked up to my nana, and pulled out the chair from across from her. I noticed that she was wearing pearls, lipstick, and her best dress. Oh that's right. It was her 75 year anniversary today. "Why don't we look beautiful?" She looked up and grinned at me "Jacky! Well, today would be our 75 years together." She look sad. I hugged her "I know Nana. I miss him too." She squeezed me tighter. "Oh Jacky, there is more important matters, like why have you been crying?" I stiffened as I sat down "Nana, you know that boy I was telling you about? How I was falling in love?" She grabbed my hand and stroked my thumb "Yes I do love." I blinked back tears. "Well, I walked in on him making out with another man."  She gasped "Oh Jacky! I'm so sorry!" I shook my head "You know Nana, all I want is what is someone to love me, to love me without breaking my heart, I want a lasting love like you and grandpa had, Nana my parent's don't even love me anymore because I'm gay. It's fucked up." She lifted my head so I looked at her, "Jacky my dear, I love you, your mother, she may be my daughter, but I don't in any way like the way she has treated you. Mothers are not meant to stop loving their child. It's selfish and hurtful, and trust me you will find that boy for you." I laughed lightly "I think I just lost him." She smiled "You think so?" I nodded "Nana, the only person I've cared this much about before was you." She grinned "Well, If he means as much to you as you mean to me, then he must be worth fighting for." I shrugged "But.. He hurt me." She nodded slowly "I know sweetie, but you are a strong believer in second chances." I nod "Yeah.. But give me time?" She nodded."Take as much as you need. Just don't lose that boy Jacky, he's special." I nod and hand her the bear "I won't." She held up a pinky as she squeezed her new bear "Pinky promise?" I giggle at her and pinky promise her. "I have to go, I'll visit for lunch as usual on Tuesday?"  She nodded "Sounds like a date." I hugged her."I love you so much." She squeezed me."I love you too, sooo much." I left and drove to Rian's, feeling better already.

Alex's P.O.V

I fucked up. Bad. I knew when Tyler walked in to the office and got all seductive with me, it would be bad. Tyler told me he was Jealous that Jack was with me,and not him. I got angry with him, "What the hell Tyler?! Jack is amazing, and I like him a lot.  Before I knew it he kissed me. I punched him to get him off me."Stop!" He shook his head "Not until I get what I want." Then he held me there by my wrists and shoved me down. Not allowing me to escape. I was scared. I escalated it quickly as Tyler was not going to let me go  without getting what he wanted, I just wanted this to be over. I was hurting Jack, and I fucking knew it. When he stormed out, after saying he loved me, I felt nothing. I was hollow, I was numb. Tyler giggled "Oops. We'll I guess you're mine now." He smiled. I screamed "GET OUT YOU ASSHOLE!" He shook his head and suddenly turned quiet . "Wait, you love him don't you?" I sat down in the chair and cried into the flowers as I nodded "Yeah, and I ruined it." Tyler shook his head. "No, I did, I'm so sorry Alex, I forced you into that, I practically just raped you. I was so fueled by jealousy." I sighed "Tyler, I need you to take a few days off, get away from me, so you can sort yourself out." He nodded "Yeah  and Alex, get him back. He deserves you." I nodded "Thanks." I finished the schedule and went home, and as I latest on my kitchen, bottle of whiskey in hand, I called Zack in tears "I fucked up Zack."  Zack sighed "I heard, Tyler called me." I scoffed "That asshole is too blame, Zack, I'm pretty sure he would have raped me if Jack hadn't come." Zack whispered "I know, and Lexy I am glad Jack came." I whined "I'm not!  I hurt  someone I love. Now he hates me! HE FUCKING LOVED ME ZACK!" I sobbed "I know Lexy." Suddenly I felt a person laying on the floor beside me. I look over to see Zack hanging up his phone. "Hey. Come here." He said and pulled me into a hug. The rest of the night consisted of me crying endlessly into Zack, and telling him everything.  This was not what I wanted at all.
