Can We Find A New Beginning?

Chapter 28

I froze. Had Jack been standing outside the door through all that!? Oh gosh, I sure hoped not. Damn, we were so stupid to do this in Jack's own home like he was that dumb!

I looked over at Alex, not knowing what to do.

"Get dressed." he instructed and began tossing all of my clothes at me and I threw his clothes at him.

I got dressed as quickly as I could and attempted to fix my makeup and sex hair.

"You look fine." Alex came up behind me and wrapped his arms around me.

I smiled and quickly pressed my lips against his before interlocking our fingers.

We slowly walked over to the door and opened it.

Everything happened so fast.

The shouting.

The screaming.

The punching.

Alex was on the floor, holding his bloody nose while Jack stood over him, his fists clenched.

"Jack!" I yelled in anger as I rushed to attend Alex's probably broken nose.

"What the fuck is your problem?" I shouted at Jack.

"My problem? He's the one who keeps screwing with everyone's feelings! How can he fuck you when he claims to love Lisa?!" Jack screeched.

I glared at him as I helped Alex up off the floor.

"That doesn't give you the right to go punching people." I said.

Jack laughed sarcastically. "You're right. I must have punched him because he fucked my bestfriend in my own house, in my bed, with my sheets and I had to hear all of it."

I blushed and looked down at the ground.

"You're not going to sleep there anyway, I am." I said.

"And I didn't get jizz on the sheets." Alex randomly commented.

I shot him a look of 'shut up, you're not helping' even though I wanted to laugh.

"Why? Why must you always hurt Skylar?" Jack spat at Alex.

Alex sighed as he looked over at me.

"I don't love Lisa, I never did." he whispered.

"So why get back with her and break Sky's heart like that?" Jack asked, still unmoved by anything Alex was saying.

I raised an eyebrow, also curious to know.

"You might want to sit down." he said.

Jack furrowed his eyebrows together in confusion, now fully interested in what Alex had to say next.

He nodded and slowly led us down stairs, into the living room where Zack and Rian sat on the couch.

Both of them trying their hardest to be serious even though they showed a face of amusement as they saw Alex and I.

"What uh what happened up there?" Rian asked, holding in his laughter.

I blushed and hid my face in the crook of Alex's neck as we all sat down on the couch.

"Alex has something to tell us." Jack interrupted.

I heard as Alex gulped nervously.

"The day Sky and I argued because of Patrick... I went for a walk and bumped into Lisa. Except I didn't really bump into her because she was following me." Alex began.

That was the same day she and I had that creepy encounter. Should I say something? Should I see where this goes first?

"She... threatened me. She told me to stay away from Sky or she would hurt her." he whispered.

"She was probably just bullshitting you!" Jack exclaimed.

Alex shook his head.

"I thought that too but no. She showed me pictures, very closely taken pictures of everything that Sky did, where she had been. Someone has been following her. Lisa calls them her spy."

He looked at me with an expression I had never seen before. He was scared.

"They knew about every little thing you did. I had to stay away or Lisa's so said "spy" would hurt you." Alex directed to me.

I ran a hand through my hair and looked at the ground, biting hard on my lower lip.

"That same day... Lisa came to talk to me." I started and I saw as Alex tensed up. "She told me I would be sorry for stealing you from her." I croaked.

Alex raised his eyebrows.

"She threatened you!" he exclaimed.

"I didn't want to say anything because... well... I don't know." I rushed.

"She's been stalking Sky?" Zack asked.

"Not just her, all of us. She wanted to make sure I didn't tell anyone or go to the cops." Alex mumbled.

"What's to say she's not watching us right now?" Rian asked.

Alex quickly stood up and glanced all around. "Nothing." he said in a panicked tone.

"Calm down. We'll figure something out." Jack whispered.

I looked at him.

"Why are you whispering?" I asked, lowering my voice. "In case she's hearing?"

He nodded.

"Should we go to the police?" Zack whispered back.

Alex immediately protested against the idea and held me closer to him.

"Do we just keep pretending like we don't know? Maybe eventually she or her spy will mess up and leave a clue that we can take to the police." Rian added.

I shrugged. "And how long until they do mess up? Lisa's clever. "

"What choice do we have?" Jack asked.

I inhaled deeply and let out a loud sigh.

So this was what my life had come to? Hiding my love for Alex in fear of getting hurt by a demented American psycho?

Did you guys get that pun at the end? No? Fall Out Boy? No? Okay. I'm lame.
