Tell Me What Your Best Friend Knows

Alex's POV

I ran home to clean my room. Yeah, i know I've only been living there for a day but I am a teenage boy. What do you expect?

I ran through my front door. "MOM IM HOOME! Oh, and I made a friend who is coming over in an hour! His name is Jack. I'll answer your questions later!"

"oh, great sweetie!"

My room is a mess so I decided to shove all the boxes under my bed, throw all my clothes into the closet and set my guitars up on the wall. 'Nice job Alex' i mentally congratulated myself on the nice job of 'cleaning'-

"Alex! Your friend is here!"

"okay mother ill be down in a minute!"

I ran down the stairs just in time to stop my mom from interrogating Jack. Thank God.

"Hey, Alex!" Jack said and smiled when he saw me. Awesome.

"hey, lets go back upstairs?"

"sure"

We twisted and turned through all the hallways till we made it to my room. I glanced back at Jack and his mouth was agape, probably amazed from how big the house was.

Jack's POV--

Alex's house was GINORMOUS. I am so jealous. We got into Alex's room which was amazing.
He had two guitars. An acoustic and a pink fender.

"hey Lex?" omg i just gave him a nockname. Keep your cool Jack, keep it.

"yes, jacky?" OMFG HE CALLED ME JACKY.

"you play?"

"y-yeah.. im not that great though."

"oh im sure you are, play me something?" i handed him his acoustic.

"ohk.."

Alex's POV-

I cannot believe he is making me play him a song.

"um this is a song i wrote, its called 'Actors.'"

I saw the grin on Jacky's face.

"here we go."

"Safe little house, safe little friends,
Safe little thoughts to keep you safe
From all those big bad wolves that eat you up.

Safe in your room,
Safe as a tomb,
Sleep in a coffin made of glass.
It takes a big facade to hide the cracks.

Can you make this last?
Cause now I'm not so sure,
Are you up to the task?
Sometimes the sickness is the cure.
You're searching so hard,
You've lost yourself...

Does it help you to pray as you're wasting away
Like a silver screen cliche?
Cause after all we're actors on a stage.
(Oh oh, oh oh. oh oh, oh oh)
Will it help you to wait for the moment to break,
Is it real or is it fake?
All we are, just chapters on a page.
(Oh oh, oh oh. oh oh, oh oh.)
Cause after all we're actors on a stage.

Hearing you now, shedding the doubts
They'll be no past or future tense.
Regrets a waste of time and plans will change.
(Plans will always change)

Oh, some for the worst,
Some for the best,
You know you can't always get your way.
(So selfish)
So worried about what's next,
You lost today.
(Now you lost today)

Can you make this last?
Cause now I'm not so sure,
Are you up to the task?
Sometimes the sickness is the cure.
You're searching so hard,
You've lost yourself...

Does it help you to pray as you're wasting away
Like a silver screen cliche?
Cause after all we're actors on a stage.
(Oh oh, oh oh. oh oh, oh oh)
Will it help you to wait for the moment to break,
Is it real or is it fake?
All we are just chapters on a page.
(Oh oh, oh oh. oh oh, oh oh.)
Cause after all we're actors on a stage.

Can you let yourself,
Can you let yourself,
Will you let yourself,
Will you let yourself let go?
Let go.
Can you let yourself,
Can you let yourself,
Won't you let yourself?
Just let yourself let go.
Let go.

Safe little house, safe little friends,
Safe little thoughts to keep you safe.

Does it help you to pray as you're wasting away
Like a silver screen cliche?
Cause after all we're actors on a stage.
(Oh oh, oh oh. oh oh, oh oh)
Will it help you to wait for the moment to break,
Is it real or is it fake?
All we are chapters on a page.
(Oh oh, oh oh. oh oh, oh oh.)

Does it help you to pray as you faded away,
Like a memory?
Cause all we are just chapters on a page.
And after all, we're actors on a stage."

I looked up at Jack, he had a huge grin on his face.
"HOLY GOD LEXY! That was awesome! you are so great!"
i blushed again, from Jacky.

"n-no.. im not that great.. thankyou though Jack"

"No problem Lex, its the truth."

Then he leaned down and kissed MY cheek. MY CHEEK.

I blushed hardcore.

"err um sorry I don't know why did that. I understand if you dont wanna see me anymore I just- just Im sorry I-"

"JACK! Its alright! Don't worry about it! You didnt know what you were doing, its okay!"

Jack's POV;

He blushed when I kissed him. Im so happy i did it. Even though it was only cheek i felt a spark.

Oh, and i knew exactly what I was doing.
