alex felt something click in him one night, the night of may 12th, as he was sitting at the dinner table with his father. they didn't speak much, the older male eating, alex shoving the food around on his plate. he realized that no one really paid attention to him. his own exes weren't even aware of the thing that he thought was so obvious, and they only knew because they didn't really know how to keep their mouths shut.
at least, justin didn't.
he knew justin just wanted to help him, and he admired his concern. no one had ever been concerned about him before. but the way he did it just didn't sit right with alex. he wanted it to, so badly. he wanted to pick up his phone and call him and apologize for being so selfish and unaware of the truth behind justin's words, but he couldn't.
it occurred to him after dinner, what he would do. he was going to apologize to justin. he was going to tell him that he loved him and cared for him and that he, too, was worried about him, more specifically the life he now continued at his own home. he was going to apologize to jessica, too. maybe even to monty, for provoking the taller boy into fighting him and still blaming him for its cause. for the first time in a while, alex felt a pang of happiness in his chest, as he was finally certain that he could fix things not just for himself, but for everyone.

hey, sorry for making you beat my face in and then blaming the whole fight on you for a while. i know it's my fault now. it was just a rough time for me, i guess.
nevermind. he realized that montgomery de la cruz didn't deserve his apology.
