A Love Like War (Jalex)

Chapter Thirty: My Only One (Part One)

March 17th:

"Jack, hurry up your mom is going to be here any minute!" Alex yelled to me from the kitchen.

"My hair looks like shit!" I screamed as I looked at myself in the mirror.

"Its your mom, babe!" He said back.

"I don't care. The entire family is going to be here." I said walking out of the bathroom. I walked into the bedroom and grabbed a beanie, "She is coming from Lebanon." I pushed my hair back into the beanie. Alex came into the room holding Lyric's hand. She could slightly walk.

"Damn, your jeans are tight." Alex said staring at my legs.

"Are they bad?" I asked him looking at myself in the mirror.

"No. I like it." He said kissing my forehead. He picked up Lyric. "Are we really going to tell your entire family?" Alex said walking out of the room. I grabbed the diaper bag and keys. Alex put Lyric in her seat.

"Yes. We have too." I said opening the door. Alex followed me.

"Are you nervous?" He asked me as we got into the elevator.

"No." I said, "My dad isn't coming home." Alex nodded.

"Where is your mom staying?" Alex asked.

"In our spare room." I said.

"Really?"

"Yes. Sorry." I said kissing his neck lightly.

"It's okay. We can stay at my mom's." He joked.

"She's not gonna want to stay when she finds out." I said, "She'll end up staying with Joe or May." We got in the car. "Can I drive?" I asked him.

"I don't care." Alex said slamming the back door.

"You need a new car." I said getting in.

"I know." He laughed.

"Alex this thing is a piece of shit." I said starting it. Well, barely starting it.

"I know. I've had it for 3 years. It was Tom's. When he passed we kept it. It sat there for years." He said.

"Like 4 years babe." I laughed.

"Shhhh." He said putting his hand over my mouth.

"Alex stop! I'm driving!" I screeched pulling his hand off my mouth.

"C'mon babe. Let loose!" He said messing with my hand.

"Alex, your going to get us fucking killed!" I said swatting at his hand. I took my eyes off the road and swerved into the other lane.

"Jack!" I heard Alex scream before everything went dark.

I woke up surrounded by people in the hospital. "Where is my boyfriend?! Where is my baby?!" I said almost in tears.

"Can I ask you some questions?" One of the people said.

"Yes."

"What's your full name?" She asked me.

"My name is Jack Bassam Barakat."

"Good, how old are you?" She continued.

"I'm 18." I said.

"Last one, what was the last thing you remember?" She said.

"Hitting a car head on and passing out, the car with my boyfriend and my baby-girl." I said.

"Okay..." She said.

"Where are they?" I interrupted.

"Mr. Barakat, I cannot release this information." She said.
