"So you lied to me." Alex stated angrily, hurt flashing in his eyes. I shook my head, I could feel the hot years welling in my eyes. "No...It-It wasn't supposed to be like this." I told him quietly. "Then how was it supposed to be?" He asked me. I cowered a little at the volume of his voice. "Unbelievable." "You hate me now, don't you?" My voice broke on the words. He didn't answer me. "I was afraid this would happen." It took one lie. One party. One kiss. And neither was prepared for this. This is now complete.

17 year old Alex has a little secret and a dark mental history. He has a three month old daughter with a girl he drunkenly hooked up with. She's a secret to the entire school, since the baby's mom goes to a different school. Alex isn't ashamed, he loves his baby girl more than his own life, but the entire school doesn't need to know his business. Why should they? They relentlessly bully him enough for being gay. Why would he tell them anything else? Give them ammunition for more bullying? No. Definitely not. His two friends know, and that's it. That's all who needs to know. Until he meets Jack. Until Jack nags him so much to go out. Until he finally cracks and says yes. Until the baby's mom gives up and gives her to Alex to raise on his own. Until Alex's world falls apart. What happens next? Let's find out. This fic will contain some homophobic slurs, panic attacks, manic episodes, hallucinations, possible self harm. I will include trigger warnings. I update quickly as I have a lot of free time, so you might get a bunch of new chapters in a row haha. Read at your own pace.

Jack's new roommate is definitely on the stranger side, but Alex is just trying to get his college education (again) and make sure Jack takes proper care of his frail, mortal body.
