Never Forget Love (Discontinued)

There's No Escape From That Gaze

~Thomas's POV~

His cry was so desperate. I felt like I caused this, I needed to fix it in some way. I'm not a high school jock anymore, I'm a college student working to get his ass in the Oval Office. I grabbed the door knob and turned. The door slowly opened to the dark room, I took one step in and heard the cold voice.

"Go away, I don't need you making fun of me right now," his voice sounded broken, like someone just took everything from him.

"I'm not. I heard a cry for help so I came to help," I said in a soft voice. I didn't want him to feel scared or unsafe.

~Alex's POV~

I scoffed at his fake kindness. I can see right through the facade he put up, he just wants me to tell him my weakness so he can laugh at me some more.

I watched him walk around the bed and into the corner I wedged myself in. He sat down next to me, arms hanging off he knees, his head tilt back looking at the ceiling.

"You know," he spoke with a quiet voice, "there was a time that I was as scared as you." I grunted with an uninterested tone and shoved my head back into my arm.

"My father said that in order to be a good man, you need to be raised by a good man. I know he tried his hardest to have me turn out to be the clever, smart, and kind man that he was but I knew I couldn't live up to it. But I guess in a way he still helped me find a clever, smart, and kind person to stay with and show me how it's done," he mumbled looking at his hands and then turned to smile at me.

For a moment I could hear the beat of my own heart. It fluttered at his smile and die down when he looked away.

~Thomas's POV~

I looked back over to Alexander to see him turn his head back and tuck it in his arms.

"Well, the rain seemed to stop," I sighed as I started to stand up. "Listen, Alexander," his name rolled off my tongue with some sweet tone I've never heard, "don't tell anyone what I said to you. Got it? Or you'll get the worse week of your life." His eyes were wide as if he'd seen a ghost, I turned to walk out the door when I heard his voice.

"You called me Alexander," he said with confusion.

I shrugged, "I guess I did." Then I walked out of his room and into mine.

~Alex's POV~

I closed the door, then rest my head on it for a moment and smile to myself. I'd hate to admit it to myself but I think I like Jefferson..I ponder the the thought to myself. Maybe it's a school girl crush, it'll go away in a week or so, or whenever he decides to patronize me. I let got of the door and turn my back to it, then gently lift off and walk over to my bed. I sit for just a moment when the door opens again....
