"No! Don't you dare say you understand, or pity me, or think I should do something cause I can't. I can't Rian! Jack is happy and as his friend I should be happy for him!" The tears were now pouring down my face.
There was silence as Rian carefully thought over the words he wanted to speak, making sure he didn't say anything to upset me more.
Rian sighed. "Even if it means you're the one in pain?"
"Even if it means I'm dying inside"I said, turning on my heels and running back to the bus.

Weightless (Jalex)
It all began with a kiss, with Alex, my best friend, my band mate, which got me thinking, am I gay? The audience was yelling now. "Do it! Do it! Do it! Do it!" They chanted. I blinked, confused. "What?" Alex asked a fan. "Okay" he murmured and made his way over to me. I raised at eyebrow but he didn't say anything. He grabbed my face and softly pecked me on the lips. Dumbfounded I just stood there. "Alright!" Alex picked up the mic skillfully. "This ones called weightless. Hit it!" The drums kicked in and I played as alex pranced around on stage. After that show, fans ordered us to kiss at every venue we performed at. Became a regular thing I guess. I just wished the kisses would last longer... So I admit. I, Jack Barakat, have a crush on my best friend and fellow bandmate, Alex Gaskarth.Complete

Brighter days [jalex]
I lean back on the arm chair scanning the party, warm beer in my left hand and lit cig in my right. I'm not even sure who's party this or how happy they would be with me smoking in the house but judging from the ashtray on the table I'm guessing it's okay. More hoping than guessing because I don't want to be forced to leave before I prove to Jack I do actually go party's. He always says I'm never at party's otherwise he would see me, I'm always at a party but I'm usually behind a locked door. I put out my cig in the ashtray and look over to the window where a intense game of beer pong was happening. When is Jack going to show up? That's the only reason I'm here in a arm chair and not locking lips with a cute guy or girl is Jack. "Hey roomie." I hear, I turn to look to the door and Jack was standing right next to me, "So you're here?" "I said I would be." I grin taking a sip from the red cup. "Just because you said you would do something don't mean you would actually do it." Jack sits on the arm next to me, "You're never at party's." "I'm always at party's." I correct, "It's just usually I'm getting laid about now." "Sure." Jack rolls his eyes. "You're just pissed you haven't got the blowjob I offered you." I say taking another sip so I didn't laugh at the look on Jacks face, "You can have it now if you want." "I'm not gay." He stutters. "Neither am I." I shrug, "I'm going to get laid speak to you later roomie." Completed 15.12.17Complete
