A Ship Crashed but Managed to Set Sail Again

The Roomate

Alex's POV:
After history, I am lying in my new dorm when he walks in. "Hey, Alex," he says with a small smile. "Long time no see." I look up and stared into those big green eyes and memories came flooding into my head. I see John turn his head in confusion. "You okay?"he asked. I shake my head and close my eyes, pretending my heart wasn't racing. "Yeah. I'm fine." I say nonchalantly. "Nice to see you, Jack... I mean John." Great! Already fumbling like an idiot. I thought these feelings went away. Man. I look at John and see a blush on his face, making me blush a lot. What am I gonna do about this boy I am helplessly in love with?

John POV:
He almost called me Jacky!!! I wish he would have. I can tell he is embarrassed and it's cute. I feel a mental battle going on in my head. Ugh. "No John," I tell myself. "You can't fall in love with him, not again. You can't have another heartbreak over this man. Even if you never gave up on his love". "How's it been, Alex?" I asked. "We haven't talked since that day. The day you broke up with me." I look away ashamed. Why did I bring this up! "I've been okay. How bout you, Ja...John?"

Alex's POV:
Again! Why can't I move on from this boy!! "I've been fine. I've constantly thought about you." John said. I sit up and stare at John. " Really?" I asked. John blushes, "Well... Yeah. I've missed you and I wanted to know how life was going." I can't help but stare at John with a look of wonder. How could I have let this boy go?

John's POV:
Alex just stares at me and I look away. Why did I say that??!! He probably thinks I'm weird now. I hear him whisper something. "What did you say?" I asked. " I said I missed you too.... I couldn't get you out of my head. I kept thinking about what you were doing. You have probably moved on to someone else. No point of living in the past" Alex says as he looks away and I see some tears in his eyes... making me want to cry. I got up to hug Alex and he flinches. I go to pull away and feel him pull me back. "I'm so sorry, John. For the pain I caused you. If you can't forgive me, I hope we can be friends." He lets go and looks up at me. I stare into his eyes as I say... "I've already forgiven you and know we can be friends." I see the smile I've been wanting to see so badly. A smile that lights up the room, bright enough for all to see. The smile MY Alex makes. As I pull away and Alex lays on his bed, I can't help but think that my life is slowly coming back together.
