Tonight, I will fall for you (7/?)
When Isobel Gaskarth stepped into Alex' room the next morning to wake her son up and tell him she was about to leave for work she was surprised to find Jack curled up next to him. First, she smiled at how cute the two boys looked but then she frowned. What had happened that Jack had come here so late last night that she didn't even notice and why were his eyes swollen as if he had cried?
To say she was worried would be an understatement. It was obvious that something bad happened and during the past few months Jack had grown very close to her, almost like a son. He made the house seem livelier in the time he spent there (which was a lot, since Jack took any given opportunity to escape his own family). And Isobel also loved the influence Jack had on her son. Ever since his brother's dead Alex had been very shy, silent and secluded.
And now he laid there: one arm wrapped around the younger boy, as if he wanted to protect him from something.
Mrs. Gaskarth didn't even think twice before calling in sick for work. It was clear that something was going on and she wanted to do everything that was within her power to help. After calling her boss (who was a good friend and therefor didn't make a big fuss about her staying at home) she made the two boys a hearty English breakfast and hot chocolate with marshmallows and then went upstairs again to wake the two boys up.
Of course Alex was surprised to see his mother still at home, after all he knew that she was supposed to work today. And he was even more surprised by the fact that she made them this giant breakfast. Well, at least he was surprised until he remembered that his mom had a sixth sense for people in trouble and for people who were sad and who needed help. Of course she had sensed something was wrong. “Enjoy your breakfast, get ready, take your time. When you’re ready for it come down so we can talk. Maybe I can help you.", she whispered silently so she wouldn't wake Jack up. Alex smiled. It were times like this when he loved his mother to death. Mrs. Gaskarth left the room and just a few minutes later Jack woke up. Alex greeted him with a sweet and gentle kiss on the cheek. "Want some breakfast? My mom cooked enough for a whole army!" "Yeah, thank you.", Jack smiled weakly.
While they were eating their breakfast Alex informed his boyfriend about his mother's suggestion. Jack's eyes watered. He wasn't used to people taking care for him. He was incredibly happy and thankful. Maybe it was possible to find a solution together.
You see, it wasn't the fact that he had been kicked out that made Jack so sad. He had never had a good relationship to his parents, especially to his dad. No, it were the words his father had said that hurt him.
“C’mon now, let’s go and talk to mom. She’ll know what to do.”, Alex murmured, hugging Jack. Even though the younger boy tried to hide it, Alex could see he was hurting.
When Isobel Gaskarth heard what had happened the night before at the Barakat-household she was shocked. And furious. Yes, most of all furious, Jack thought. It was kinda strange. Mrs. Gaskarth, the tiny, calm, loving, caring woman was literally freaking out. Jack was stunned.
“Your dad will come home from work early today, Alex. As soon as he arrives you will grab him and go to Jack’s with him to get the rest of his stuff. And now go and prepare the guest-room, after all Jack will stay for a while!”
Both, Alex and Jack, jumped up to hug her. Alex smiled. And Jack… well, Jack was speechless. It was the first time he felt like someone apart from his closest friends and Alex actually cared for him. And it was a great feeling.
He felt like he was on a roller-coaster ride: one moment everything seemed lost and it was like he was falling into a deep, black hole. And in the next moment, he felt like he was on top of the world. Everything seemed bright and… great. But this state was dangerous. You never know what happens next.
A/N: Okay, I'm really, really, really sorry for the long wait *hides in a corner*
Anyways, same procedure as always: I don't own anything but the story. The characters apart from the band and their families are pure fiction. This never happened... blah blah blah.
I hope you like it! R&R please? *puppy eyes* I'll even give you a cookie! :D
