Manage Me, I'm a Mess
Today was misery, and I just can't believe this happened
(a week later)
-Jacks POV-
When I walk into mine and Alex's room, he is lying on his bed, listening to music and doing something on his phone, I sit on my bed and text him,
To Alex:
You okay? x
I hear him chuckle as he replies,
From Alex:
I guess. You? Why don't you just talk to me? x
To Alex:
You're listening to music, I didn't want to interrupt. I'm okay. What's wrong? x
From Alex:
I don't know if I should tell you x
To Alex:
Please x
From Alex:
It's Zack... x
To Alex:
Yeah...? x
From Alex:
His girlfriend cheated on him x
'Oh my god what?!' I exclaim and Alex takes his earphones out, sitting up,
'He's with Rian. I've been texting them for the past hour. He's so upset. Like seriously torn to shreds.' he sighs,
'Fucking hell.' I mutter,
'I think he'll be okay... But he's just so shaken up.' He says softly,
'I don't get how people can do that to someone. If anyone ever cheats on you, you tell me and I'll kick their teeth in.' I say angrily and he smiles sadly, 'You've been cheated on, haven't you?' I sigh and he nods,
'When I was 16, I was going out with this guy, I was so, so in love with him. He was my everything. My lifeline. I went round his house one day and found my best friend at the time in his bed. I was completely broken. I ran and ran but he chased me and hit me and swore at me and I was so, so scared. I tried to kill myself that night. So there's something you didn't know about me... I've been suicidal since I was 14 and my first attempt was when I was 16.' he sighs,
'Oh lex...' I whisper and rush over and hug him tightly, 'When was your last attempt Lexy?' I ask,
'Three weeks before I came here.' he says, barely audible,
'Please don't leave me.' I beg.

-Alex's POV-
It's 1am and I'm lying in bed, scrolling through twitter on my phone, Jack fell asleep about an hour ago.
A blood curdling scream suddenly erupts from where Jack is and he sits bolt upright and starts screaming and crying and sobbing, 'Oh my god, Jack!' I gasp and leap out of bed and run out of our room, 'Joyce?!' I shout, 'Joyce help!' I knock on their door desperately and she comes running,
'Who screamed?! What's going on?' she gasps,
'Jack! I don't know, he's screaming and crying.' I whimper,
'oh god.' she mutters and runs to our room, Bassam comes out of their room and lifts my chin up,
'Its okay Lex, he's just having a night terror. He gets them sometimes. Are you okay?' he asks,
'Im terrified.' I whisper and he hugs me,
'It's okay buddy. Don't be.' he sighs, 'let's go see if he's okay.' he says softly and guides me back to our room,
'I just want Alex.' Jack sobs,
'Im here Jack.' I croak and he makes grabby hands at me, Joyce moves so I can get in bed with him, he hugs me tightly and cries into my shoulder softly,
'We'll leave you two alone, shout if you need anything.' Joyce says softly and her and Bassam walk out, shutting the door carefully behind them,
'Did you have a night terror Jacky?' I ask quietly and he nods, 'what happened bud?' I whisper,
'I-I w-walked into our r-room and you were hanging from the ceiling. You were g-gone Alex.' he sobs and I hug him as tight as possible,
'Im here Jacky. I'm not going anywhere.' I whisper and he nods sadly and makes me lie down so he can put his head on my chest. He falls asleep quickly.
