Tell Me You Love Me {Jalex Fanfic}

Epilogue

"I don't want to go," I whined into Alex's bare chest.

"Yes you do." His fingers trailed lazily through my bed-head, gently working through the tangles and knots . "You're going to go and meet new people and have new experiences and work on your music and learn all kinds of new things. You're going to love it."

"But I'm gonna miss you," I stated sadly. It was the morning that I was due to leave for college. Summer flew by quicker than my senior year did. It was the best time of my life, but it was coming to a very abrupt end. We made no move to get out of bed or get going, and it was already past time I'd planned to get up.

Alex sighed, "I know, I'm going to miss you too, but you have to do this. You know you do."

I pushed my face into his skin and let out a long groan before sitting up in bed. "I hate when you're right." He shrugged, shooting me a small smile. "Are you sure about what we talked about, about us?"

His expression turned serious and he nodded, "I think it's what's best for now." We'd talked about it for a long time and we agreed to break up once we split. "I don't want us to grow apart and let what we have die. If we cut it off now, maybe we can bring it back in the future. Undamaged and still perfect."

I nodded solemnly. He was right, of course he was. "I'm going to go take a shower."

"Want me to join you?" Alex smirked suggestively.

I stare at him in astonishment. "Really? How can you still be horny after last night?"

He sent me a smile and said, "I just want to remember what you feel like." I rolled my eyes and grinned, motioning him to come with. Who doesn't have time for shower sex?

The hot water was nice on my skin, but it was really Alex fucking me that woke me up completely. It was kind of quick because of last night but it was intimate and personal. We climaxed at the same time, him holding me by the waist and burying his face in my neck. After it was all said and done we just held each other for a while, until I was really running late and needed to actually shower.

We got dressed and met my mom downstairs for breakfast, which she'd already had prepared. "It was warm," she said, eyeing Alex and me knowingly, "But you'll have to hurry, we're running late." She was right, it had to be quick with all the extra time I spent upstairs so I choked down a few waffles and was running back up stairs to get my bags in no time.

They both drove me to the campus, which was a good two and a half hours away. I didn't want to imagine how awkward the ride back would be without me. Maybe it wouldn't be too bad.

It seemed like we spent an eternity in that car but it also felt like it wasn't enough time at all. Alex helped me find my dorm and set things up a bit while Mom went out to talk to some of the other parents. I think she wanted to give us some privacy, which I was grateful for.

"So you've got your own room," Alex said after we put the sheet and blankets on my bed.

"It's included in the scholarship, I guess." Small talk, the quiet before a storm, the deafening silence before an explosion happens that leaves us in rubble.

We go for each other at the same time, clutching onto one another like we'd drown without the other. I held him tight, I didn't want to let go.

"Tell me you love me," he whispered hoarsely, "Just tell me one more time."

"I love you," I said without hesitation, "so fucking much it hurts."

"It hurts," Alex repeated, moving back a little so he can look at my face. "I love you too. This isn't the end, we'll see each other again. It's not the end. I promise." He sealed his promise with a kiss, one last frantic kiss that was cut short by my mom knocking on the door. We both separate reluctantly as she walked in.

"It's time to go, Alex," Mom said with a sad face. She walked over and grabbed me up into a hug, "I'm proud of you, Jack. You're going to do amazing."

"Thanks mom." I gave her one last hug and she stepped out, saying she was going to wait in the car.

Once she was gone Alex and I looked at each other. "Okay, last one," I said, darting into his arms and pressing my mouth to his.

"For now," he added, "Only for now."

I nodded quickly and stepped away from him, "Now go before I do something stupid like go with you."

Alex stepped backwards away from me, nodding also. This was the right thing to do, it had to be. It had to be. He waved once and gave me a half smile before disappearing behind the door. Once he'd gone I sat down on my bed with a heavy feeling in my chest.

I never thought when this all started that this, of all things, was how it was going to end. I didn't think I'd fall for him, nor him for me. I guess I kind of had to thank Lisa for something. She led me to him. Every mean thing she ever said, every horrible thing she ever made me feel, every single moment she was cruel to me was worth it, because it led me to him. For him, it was completely worth it.

I hoped Alex was right when he said we'd meet again. Only time would tell, so this was our 'to be continued', I guess we'd just have to wait and see what happened next.
