Trigger warning: Mention of Death

---

Alex POV

While Jack was in the bathroom, I prepared a few things. I set up water to boil so we could sit down and talk for a bit. I laid out a few teabags and he was going to choose. I put snacks and sweets into a bowl and set it on the table.

And I prepared the couch for him. I laid out a bed sheet and put a blanket over it. I stuffed a pillow into a pillowcase and put it on top. I flattened the whole thing and looked at it. The blanket had a children’s design. I had bought it for someone very special and I needed to use it because I didn't have anything else.

Memories saddened me. I walked over to the dresser and picked up a framed picture. It was of a little girl with light brown hair and brown eyes, joy filling her whole face and body. She was holding a teddy bear and was laughing.

Elaine Gaskarth. I touched her picture and looked at the little black cross printed next to her name. Tears were running down my cheeks by now. I missed her so much. My little girl. I started crying more, first sobs escaping from my mouth. It still hurt so much. I curled up into a ball, trying desperately to stop this. It was still hard even after such a long time to practice. I couldn't cry with Jack in the same flat as I.

Notes

This is so short I'm sorry but it contains quite a lot of information I guess :)
Hope you still like it, don't kill me if not please...

As for seeing ATL, I myself will see them on their Europe tour which is a bit earlier than the American tour and I'm super excited!! :3
