Jack’s POV

Billie and I were sitting at a quiet park, deciding on where to go for dinner.

“Seriously Jack, you choose, I’m up for anything” Billie chuckled.

“Isn’t there a restaurant on the boardwalk?” I asked.

Billie smiled as he nodded and I clapped happily.

“Do you wanna go there?” he questioned.

“I’ve always wanted to, so if it’s not too much trouble then yes please” I replied.

Billie laughed as he grabbed my hand and pulled me in the direction of the boardwalk.

“You’re too cute Jack” he mused.

I blushed slightly and Billie let go of my hand and looked down shamefully.

“Sorry, that was uncalled for, you just got out of a relationship” he mumbled.

“It’s fine, we all blurt out something we don’t mean” I replied.

Billie nodded as he smiled and we continued down the pathway. I looked up at the stars as my mind wandered to Alex. I wonder what he was doing? I haven’t told him I left Baltimore. Zack and Rian knew and they were really understanding.

“Nearly there” Billie informed.

I nodded when suddenly my phone went off and I answered it.

“Hel-” I was cut short quickly.

“Jack fucking Barakat what the hell were you thinking!” a voice yelled.

“Alex!” I exclaimed.

“Answer me Jack, fucking answer me dammit!” he roared.

“Why does it interest you? We broke up Alex, you tossed me out like I meant nothing to you! Zack and Rian will explain to you because I’m busy right now!” I screamed.

I ended the call before Alex could reply, tears filling my eyes as I threw my phone away.

“Ow!” someone cursed.

I wiped my tears as I saw Billie rubbing his head.

“Oh my god, Billie I’m sorry!” I sobbed, more tears threatening to spill from my eyes.

“Jack it’s ok, relax” he soothed.

“I...I can’t” I cried, letting the tears take over.

Billie pulled me into his arms as I sobbed, clutching his shirt as I took in sharp breaths.

“Jack, calm down” he whispered softly.

Dammit Alex, why do you have to make me hurt so bad?

*Time lapse three hours*

Billie and I were sitting at the boardwalk restaurant as I picked at my food a little.

“Jack, please eat” Billie soothed.

I sighed as I put some food on my fork and ate it.

“Sorry” I muffled through my full mouth.

“Don’t talk with your mouth full” Billie chuckled.

I smirked slightly as I continued to eat my food, sneaking a glance at Billie every now and again. I loved how no matter what situation we were in, those green eyes always glistened brightly.

“Jack, you’re staring” Billie spoke, interrupting my thoughts.

“Sorry Billie” I mumbled.

He smiled as he reached across the table and took my hand in his, giving it a gentle squeeze.

“Jack stop saying sorry for things you don’t need to be sorry about. I can understand that you’re hurting, but, forget about Alex for the night, let’s have some fun huh?” Billie questioned.

“Alright, I’ll try my best” I answered.

“You like clubs don’t you Jack?” he asked.

“Sometimes” I chuckled with a smile.

“How about we go to one after this?” Billie asked, raising an eyebrow with a grin.

I blushed slightly at that grin that made me absolutely weak at the knees. I shook the though away as I looked back at Billie.

“Sure, that sounds great” I replied with a smirk.

Billie nodded as he let go of my hand and sat back in his chair. His gaze was still on me and it and it made me feel a little edgy but I ignored it, well, tried to. Who the hell can ignore Billie fucking Joe? He finally looked away as I continued to eat, my phone went off and I looked at it with a frown.

“Zack and Rian just explained to me. You better still manage to make it to recordings an such. I swear to god Jack this is stupid - Alex”

I sighed as I turned my phone off and put it away.

“Billie” I spoke.

“Yeah?” he replied.

“Let’s go” I ordered, not giving a single fuck about Alex.

“Well someone looks eager” Billie chuckled.

I pushed my chair back as I walked to Billie and pulled him up by his belt.

“This is me not giving a shit about Alex and just all about moving on. Take it or leave it” I purred.

Billie smirked at me as I let go of his belt, his car keys in my hand.

“I’ll drive” I whispered, before sauntering away.

“Be my guest Jack” Billie chuckled.

I smirked as he caught up to me and nudged me playfully. Damn it felt good to just flirt a little with no emotion involved.

*Time lapse half an hour*

The vibration of the bass pumped through my body as Billie and I entered the night club. I could feel Billie’s body close to me as we had to weave through people. We found an empty space on the dance floor and I smirked. Billie looked as if he was about to speak but I grabbed him by the belt and pulled him over to me, my hands resting on his hips. Billie looked at me as he smirked, wrapping his arms around my neck. I grinned as we started to sway to the music and I ground my hips against Billie, hearing a slight chuckle leave his lips. I liked to play little games sometimes and I know this would be a way to distract myself from Alex. I grabbed Billie’s arms as I spun him around so his back was facing me. I leaned into his neck as I placed a gentle kiss on his neck and his hands found mine as they rested on his thighs. We continued to rock our bodies to the music and I ran my hands up his waist as I clasped one of my hands under his jaw and tilted his head slightly. I grazed my teeth along the sensitive skin on his neck.

“Jack” he murmured through the music.

“Relax, I’m only teasing” I replied.

“You great big fucking tease” Billie chuckled.

I smirked as I turned him back around, placing my hands on the small of his back, pulling him close against me. I nuzzled into the crook of his neck as he let out a sigh.

“Jack” he mumbled again.

“Mm?” I replied.

Billie caught my gaze as I looked at him, his green eyes glinting at me. I could have sworn he lent forward, but I pulled away slightly as my mind fell back to how hurt I was about Alex.

“Let’s get a drink” I stated, trying to distract myself from Billie’s gaze.

Billie’s POV

“Woah Jack, steady” I soothed, trying to hold him up.

We’d just left the club and Jack decided to drink his sorrows away.

“Billie” he whined.

Before I could reply Jack lent over as he heaved, vomiting on the road.

“Charming Jack” I mumbled.

“S-sorry” he whispered.

He turns into a sad drunk, but I guess that’s mostly because of Alex. I wrapped my arm around his waist to steady him and walked him to the car.

“Billie I don’t feel so good” he whispered.

“You’re drunk Jack, of course you aren’t going to feel good” I muttered.

“I wanna go home!” he cried.

“We are going home, chill out Jack” I grumbled.

God this is the last time I take him out when he’s upset over a guy. I made sure Jack was safely in the passenger seat and got into the drivers seat, starting the car. I looked over at Jack and he was fast asleep on the seat. Good, I don’t need to deal with his antics all the way home. I put on some music quietly as I drove off in the direction of my apartment.

“I miss him Billie” Jack mumbled.

I looked to my left for a second then back at the road as I sighed.

“He’s moved on Jack, maybe it’s time you did too” I replied.

“I don’t want to, sometimes I feel like I just want to die” he whispered.

“Jack don’t say that, I’ve been there, it’s bad” I answered.

There was silence as Jack fell asleep again. What the hell will I do?

*Time lapse next morning*

The switch on the kettle popped as I poured some coffee into a mug. I reached into the cupboard above me as I grabbed out two painkillers. Jack was still asleep and would probably need these when he woke up. I sighed, walking out of the kitchen and into the spare bedroom. The curtains were closed and all I could see was Jack’s blonde bits of hair sticking up, causing me to chuckle.

“Jack” I soothed.

“I’m awa-ow” he groaned, lolling his head to the side.

“I brought you coffee and painkillers” I whispered.

“T-thanks” he mumbled.

I sat down on the edge of the bed as I smoothed my hand through his hair. I wanted to make sure Jack got out as much as possible, I don’t want him sulking all day.

“Jack you wanna go to the beach today?” I asked.

“No” he muttered.

“I’m not letting you sulk inside all day” I replied.

“Billie I don’t want to go out!” he yelled. “I just...want to be alone” he mumbled.

I could have sworn I heard him crying and that tore me to pieces. My hand rested on his back as I looked away from him.

“I’ll be in the lounge if you need me” I whispered, getting up from the bed.

Jack didn’t say anything as I left the room and walked downstairs. I plopped myself down on the couch, flicking on the TV and settling on cartoons, I’m still a child at heart. But I soon became distracted when all I could think about was Jack. Maybe having him here was a bad idea, but who am I kidding? I can hold the secret back, he’ll never have to know. I sighed, resting my head on the back of the couch. I heard someone clear their throat and I popped my eyes open to see Jack. He smiled softly before placing a chaste kiss on my lips, a red flush crossing my face.

“What was that for?” I purred.

Dammit he’s such a flirt sometimes. Jack sat down beside me with his coffee in his hand and smiled slightly.

“For letting me stay here and understanding my situation” he replied.

“Jack, I’ll always be here for you” I mused.

“I know, I just can’t move on as quick as Alex can. It hurts Billie, it really does” he sighed.

“So you still won’t go out?” I questioned.

Jack pulled his knees up to his chest and shook his head, my instincts telling me to just drop the offer.

“The offers still there if you want it” I mumbled, turning back to the TV.

Jack nodded as he walked out of the room to go get a shower and I pulled my phone out, pressing the call button under Mike’s contact number.

“Hey Billie! What’s up!” he exclaimed.

“Mike I need a favour” I answered quietly.

*Time lapse nine hours*

A knock sounded at the door and I pushed myself off the couch as I walked to the door.

“Who is it?” I called.

“Pizza guy!” Mike’s goofy accent replied.

I laughed as I pulled the door open and saw Mike standing there with a smile on his face.

“Mike!” I exclaimed.

“Billie!” he yelled.

We embraced in a hug as Jack walked out of his room and down the stairs, a smile on his face when he saw Mike.

“Hey Jack, long time no see” Mike spoke with a smile.

“Its been a while” Jack chuckled.

They gave each other a quick hug and I grabbed the bags Mike had in his hand.

“What’s all this then?” Jack asked.

“Pizza” I answered, sitting myself down on the couch.

“Yum” Jack replied, a little glint in his eye.

Jack sat beside me and went to grab some pizza but I slapped his hand away.

“What was that for!” he yelled.

“You can only have pizza on one condition” I replied.

“That being?” Jack asked.

“You go to the beach with Mike, Tre and I tomorrow” I answered with a smug grin.

Jack’s jaw dropped before he frowned at me, anger ridden on his face. I think my plan has just backfired.

“I said no Billie” he grumbled.

“Fine, no pizza” I mumbled.

“Fuck you Billie! You aren’t gonna let me eat just because I won’t go out anywhere! In case you hadn’t noticed I’m getting over heartbreak right now so you can get fucked!” Jack roared before running out of the lounge and up into his room.

“Jack!” I called, going after him.

I tried the door but Jack had locked it and I groaned.

“Jack, open up” I whispered.

“Go away!” he yelled through choked sobs.

I sighed as I dropped my hand from the door, walking back downstairs to the lounge.

“That was too harsh BJ” Mike spoke.

“Shut up Mike” I muttered, dropping my head in my hands.

All I want is for Jack to get better and forget about Alex, he could do so much better than him. Suddenly I heard a loud thump in Jack’s room and I jumped up, Mike following behind me.

“Jack!” I yelled, knocking on the door.

No answer.

“Jack!” I roared.

Yet still nothing.

“Shit, Mike break the door down!” I ordered.

Please be ok Jack.
