Jacks pov
We came home from school “See you later Alex” I called
“Yea see you later” Alex replied. I opened the front door of my house.
“Hi mom don’t make me any tea. I’m having it at Alex’s house with Rian and Zack after band practice”
“Yeah sure that’s fine is Alex the one who slept over last night because of his brother? Are you sure you want to go over there “
“Yes mum I am sure Alex is one of the only people that has talked to me since I started and anyways Alex is okay with me being gay “I then went upstairs and put on one of my many GK shirts and a black pair of skinny jeans and my black vans. I grabbed my guitar and my amp and headed to Alex’s house. I knocked on his door when his brother answered oh no I thought. And I was right to think that he slammed the door in my face saying “We don’t allow fags in this house go and find someone who wants a fag in there house.”
“Oh my god Tom” I heard Alex yell “Why did you do that me Rian,Zack and Jack re having band practice why’d you do that it was so mean and homophobic”
“Yea well I don’t fucking care. I don’t want fucking gay people in the house so he can’t come in and that fucking final you little fucked up fuckwit”
“Mum” Alex yelled “Toms not letting Jack in because he thinks he’s gay”
“Tom” that was Alex’s mother “You will answer the door and apologize “I tried knocking the door again this time Alex answered it
“I’m so sorry about my brother. I can’t believe he did that “
“Jack sorry for calling you a fag and slamming the door in your face” Tom apologized
“Right let’s get down to the cellar and get practicing we have a show in two weeks guys. Jack and I have a new acoustic song since we had to write one for music. It’s called remembering Sunday. Tell us what you think if you don’t like it we won’t play it at the show”
He woke up from dreaming and put on his shoes
Started making his way past two in the morning
He hasn't been sober for days

Leaning now into the breeze remembering Sunday
He falls to his knees, they had breakfast together
But two eggs don't last like the feeling of what he needs

Now this place seems familiar to him
She pulled on his hand with a devilish grin
She led him upstairs, she led him upstairs
Left him dying to get in

Forgive me, I'm trying to find
My calling, I'm calling at night
I don't mean to be a bother, but have you seen this girl?
She's been running through my dreams
And it's driving me crazy, it seems
I'm gonna ask her to marry me

And even though she doesn't believe in love
He's determined to call her bluff
Who could deny these butterflies?
They're filling his gut

Waking the neighbors, unfamiliar faces
He pleads though he tries
But he's only denied
Now he's dying to get inside

Forgive me, I'm trying to find
My calling, I'm calling at night
I don't mean to be a bother, but have you seen this girl?
She's been running through my dreams
And it's driving me crazy, it seems
I'm gonna ask her to marry me

There's a neighbor said, she moved away
Funny how it rained all day
I didn't think much of it then
But it's starting to all make sense

Oh, I can see now
That all of these clouds are following me
In my desperate endeavor
To find my whoever, wherever she may be

I'm not coming back, I've done something so terrible
I'm terrified to speak but you'd expect that from me
I'm mixed up, I'll be blunt
Now the rain is just washing you out of my hair

And out of my mind, keeping an eye on the world
So many thousands of feet off the ground
I'm over you now, I'm at home in the clouds
Towering over your head

Well I guess I'll go home now
I guess I'll go home now
I guess I'll go home now
I guess I'll go home


“Guys that were amazing and we should have an acoustic number in our second show “Rian told us. We worked on our set list for the upcoming gig. We then went into the living room to play games and order pizza. Me, Rian and Zack ended up stopping the night. We all ended up sleeping in Alex’s living room. I woke up the next morning to Tom and his mates staring at me.
“Bad move Barakat, if I knew Alex was going to have a little slumber party I would have called my mates sooner. As I have told you lots of times before Barakat. Stay the fuck away from my little brother or there will be trouble” Just at that moment Alex woke up and started yelling.
“Tom What the Fuck is you doing in here leave Jack alone why you can’t get it into your thick skull > Just because you hate Jack doesn’t mean I do. Jack is one of my best mates and I will very upset if he doesn’t wanna be my friend anymore because of you! Now fuck off until I’m finished in here with my mates “
“Alright keep your wig on I was only trying to protect you”
“Protect me from what exactly Tom?”
“That thing over there I just don’t want you being classed as gay to”
“Tom shut up I don’t care I can choose my mates myself regardless of their sexuality “
“You better watch yourself Barakat” Tom muttered just then Alex’s mom walked in.
Thomas Gaskarth! I can hear the awful things you are saying to Alex’s friend from my bedroom. I do not want to hear that sort of abuse from you again no go and apologize like you mean it”
“I’m sorry Jack” Tom sneered
“Thank you now goes to your room and your friends can go home you are grounded “She told Tom “Sorry about my son. I’m glad my other son has good manners what do you want for breakfast Jack” She’s asked lovingly
“Pancakes please Mrs Gaskarth” We all then went to Alex’s room to finish our pancakes
“I’m sorry about my brother .I know he’s a huge homophobe but that’s not the point he shouldn’t treat people that way “Alex told me
“Its alight I understand not everyone is going to be as accepting as you. We knew that when we moved here”
