Jack just shook his head. “What am I going to do though?”
“What do you mean?”
“I mean, should I just ask him out?”
“I don't know, do what you want to do.”
“I guess I'm not completely over Haylee yet.” Jack said. “I think.. I think I just want to stay friends with Alex. At least for now.” he said with difficulty.
Rian sighed. “You should have thought about that before you gave him a blow job.”
Jack winced. “Well. I'm drunk.”
Rian laughs “Jack, you're not that drunk, you know you're not. Besides, who made the first move anyway?”
“He did, he kissed me first. Then I kissed him back and stuff.. but he made the first move.” Jack thought. “Wait. This means he likes me right?”
“No shit sherlock. But you kissed him back. That must mean you like him too.” Rian said.
“Well, I don't know..” Jack trailed off.
“Figure it out soon.” Rian said, before switching the light off and flopping onto his bed.
Jack sighed, and laid onto his bed too, looking up at the ceiling, trying really hard to figure out whether or not he did actually like Alex, until he finally fell asleep.

“JACK. WAKE UP.” Jack heard someone scream.
Jack groaned. What time was it? Why was someone screaming at him?
“Jack if you're doing this to avoid Alex, you are the biggest wimp ever and I'll never speak to you again.”
Jack's eyes snapped wide open and all of last night's events came rushing into his brain.
“Oh my fucking god. I forgot all about that.” Jack ran his fingers through his hair. “Rian, you're my best friend, don't get mad at me for what I'm going to do today, alright?”
Rian sighed. “Alright Jack, alright.”
Jack gave Rian a hug, as manly as possible, then grabbed his toiletries and ran into the shower. He turned on the water and closed his eyes, rethinking his choice one final time. When he got out of the shower, he still had 45 minutes before his first class, which Alex was in started. He figured he would go do something, something Alex had asked him to do.
When he went back into his dorm, Rian was already gone, a note in his place. The note read “I'm off to class, I'll be back after my last class ends, so around 3. Whatever you're doing about Alex, make sure you don't regret it. -Rian.”
Jack wondered if he would regret what he was going to do. Maybe. But regrets are still memories, part of your history.
Jack walked out his dorm building, towards a pharmacy.

“Alex.” Jack said, putting his hand on Alex's shoulder.
They were in front of the building where they would have their first period class. Jack had been waiting for Alex to show up.
Alex looked to his right. “Oh, hey Jack.” Then, he seemed to remember what had happened last night and a light blush crept onto his cheeks.
“We need to talk.” Jack said, blowing his hair out of his face.
“Yeah?” Alex said, looking way too hopeful.
Jack winced. He felt bad for doing this, but it was probably for the best.
“I know what happened last night, and what you're probably expecting right now. But Alex, let me just explain my thinking process. Promise you're not going to run away and ignore me for eternity?”
Alex's face dropped, his eyes looking dangerously wet. “I promise.” he said, in a small voice.
“I can't deny it, I do think you're attractive. And I like you. That's why I did what I did last night. But that was a mistake, I shouldn't have done that, the timing isn't right. I don't think I'm ready for another relationship just yet. I know what I said, about finding another girl to get Haylee off my mind. But I don't think another relationship is what I need right now. So Alex, can we stay friends?” Jack said, with the look of a hopeful puppy.
Alex sighed, running his fingers through his hair. “Yeah, I guess.”
Jack smiled forlornly. “Well, then in that case, I have something for you.” he said, pulling a 8.5 by 11 photograph, handing it to Alex.
Alex took the photo, seeing that it was the picture Jack had taken of him yesterday. Yesterday seemed forever ago, a potential relationship was crushed, leaving Alex with a friend. But a friend was better than nothing he supposed. But Alex had to show that he would be okay with just being friends.
He smiled, saying “Thanks.” as he put the photo in his bag.
They walked together towards class, the one word Alex couldn't stop thinking of was mistake.
Jack had basically said it was a mistake for him to give Alex a blowjob.
Alex guessed that's all he would ever be.
A mistake.
