“No, Jacob. I’m not going to leave the people I love to go to California. Believe it or not, I like it here in Maryland,” I said. “Please. I’ve seen you play, you have talent!” Wow, that’s the nicest thing he has ever said to me. “No!” I walked out of the closet he had pulled me in. “You know what fine!” He yelled. “Suck it, Asshole!” He slapped me and just my luck, Jack was watching. This luck was not good, it was definitely bad. “Jack, stop!” I tried to pulled him off but it wasn’t working. “You’re done!” I screamed. I finally got Jack to calm down. “Touch her again! See what fucking happens!” I couldn’t even look at Jack right now.
“The problem is, Jack, is that I told you to leave it alone! You don’t listen!” I should just be happy it wasn’t Alex. That would be my bloody nightmare. “I was just trying to help!”
“Let’s just face it. This fucking relationship was all a fucking joke! I knew it never meant anything! It was just a mistake!” What I said really hurt Jack. He fell to the ground and put his over his face. “Jack, I’m sorry, I didn’t-“
“Go!” He yelled. And I did. I grabbed Jack’s coat and walked outside in th pouring rain. My first stop was Darin and Steve’s. “Hey,” Steve answered. “I love you, guys!” I sobbed quietly into their shoulder. “We love you too? Are you drunk?” I wiped my eyes. “No. Just wanted to tell you guys that,” After a while of hanging out with the guy. I decided to leave. Walk. Maybe that would help. But then I looked at my phone. It was about 11 so Jack would probably be asleep by now. I crept up to the bedroom and pack my bags, being careful of the sleeping Jack behind me. I left a note on the window. And headed to wherever I could get. Maybe a random place on the map? Greenville, NC. I glanced at the crew neck I brought with me. It was Jack’s. The only thing besides my memories, I had of him.

Jack’s P.O.V.
Dear Jack,
I’m leaving. Somewhere that I can change. Forget everything that happened while I lived here. You know you’re all I ever think about and that’s just one more reason that I’ll ever see this town again. I have to go away from here and I’m leaving alone. Tell Alex I’m sorry. He’s probably mad. Considering everything I’ve made him deal with. But trust me, Jack, I love you. I really mean it. That’s another reason I have to leave. And also, I can’t hurt you again. It hurt wayyy too much to see you like that. I hope your dreams come true of being a Rock Star. You shouldn’t have to have me in your way. You will never ever be alone. And remember the sky you see is the same one for me.
Sorry for a crappy ending,
Scarlett .M. Gaskarth
“You are fucking kidding me,” I rushed over to my phone. “Hey, Zack, come over. Like, now!” I can’t call Alex, he’ll have a panic attack and go on a international search for her. Zack just… he understands her. I don’t know how because that girl is…s-she’s my life. And I never tried to see the world in her way. I feel so shitty right now.

Notes

I'M SORRY!!!! But on a happier note, Jack got a P.O.V! Yay!!! And I know it's short but I don't want to give anything away just yet.
