I sit Alex on my bed he's balling I feel like crying myself I've known Eylar my whole life, but seeing Alex this upset is heart breaking, i sit next to him and rub his back I walk up and lock the door so he can feel safe "w-what happened?"
I ask sitting next to him, he places his head on my lap "h-he was having a r-really bad h-heart attack" he said sobbing into my lap "it's alright, I'm here" "thanks J-Jacky" he managed to even say my nickname after him crying "I'm tired"
he says still laying on my lap "because you've been crying all day, come on get in" Alex crawls into my bed and snuggles up in the blankets I go down to the kitchen and get some water for him and I come back upstairs "here"
I place the water on my bedside table and get into bed with him he snuggles into me and falls asleep
The next morning i wake up and see Alex just snuggled into me thinking "hey" I said it made him jump "oh hi" he says and gives me a little smile I kiss him to make him feel better we kiss again and it's longer this time,
but mum walks in and sees us "Jack!!" I get scared and jump up from my bed "m-mum" "get out now!" Alex runs out the door "Jack, no this isn't true" "what's wrong?" May says and walks into my room "Jack was kissing Alex" May looks at me "So?" She says "so? So? Our son you're brother is gay! I'm not having a gay live under my roof! You're not my son I don't have a son!" She yelled at me
I run downstairs grab my bag and run to my bus stop, I see Alex walking up "Jack, what happened?" "Don't" "don't what?" He said placing his hand on my shoulder "leave me" We see Mark (Alex's dad) and my mum walking up to us "is it true?" Mark says looking at Alex "what is?" "You and Jack" "it's nothing"
he says with a straight face he's always been scared of his father "well if it's nothing you can stop" he says trying not to yell "ok"
all Alex wants is to please his father it broke me "stay away from my son, understand?" I just give him a look of disapproval he's ruined my life "do you?" "Fuck off"
I say and run back home I run into my room and grab the biggest bag I could find I pack all the things that mean everything to me my clothes, valuables, and my guitar
I place them all under my bed and lock my door i write a note saying 'Well I hope you're happy, you've officially ruined my life, if you're reading this I've run away, and no telling dad won't help, he may be rich but he won't be able to find me, once and again thanks for being the worst parent in the world from Jack'
I wait until it's dark, I check my phone it's 1 am then I sneak out I'm wearing the sweater dad gave me, I miss him but I can never go see him, because if I did he would send me straight back because he thinks he isn't good enough for my love,
so I'm walking and walking I walk past Alex's house I stand there staring and waiting I don't know what for just waiting I soon stop my staring and go to a local 24 hour store and luckily enough for me the guy was high and he sold me two six packs
I walk to the bus stop the one I use to go to school I sit there and a bus drives past he stops for me "where to?" He said, late night buses are pretty much like cabs they will take you anywhere "somewhere far away from here" I say he gives me a look of sympathy "hard time hey?" He says starting the bus "yeah I guess so" I say sitting at the back of the bus I fall asleep and I feel a shaking
"hey mate, I have to take that bus back to the station so this is as far as I can take you, I hope you like it in Chicago" he took me 11 hours away? It's 12 in the afternoon?
"Oh thank you, how much do I owe you?" I ask about to take out my wallet "nothing, you seem like a nice guy that's had a bad time so on the house" he said with a nice smile I get off the bus and check my phone still 100%
I haven't used it and I see 15 missed calls from mum, 9 from May, 7 From Jason and 29 from Alex "Jack?!" I hear I turn around and see my dad holding hands with a nice lady
"dad" I say and run up to him and hug him "I've missed you so much, why didn't you tell me you lived here?!" I say trying not to cry "I'm sorry but what are you doing here?"
"I'm gay" I say with a straight face "so? I couldn't care less you're my son" he said "mum disowned me" I say this is you're new mum he said looking at a lovely lady smiling at me
"hi I'm Linda" she says shaking my hand "hello Linda I'm Jack" I say giving her a smile back I didn't know dad lived here
I thought he would live in New York or California or something like that you know big cities
