Guts

*Jacks POV*

The next day Alex met up at my house and we hung out. Maria had to get home for some family time or what not, so that left just Alex and I. I couldn’t contain myself, I had to tell him. It was honestly one of the best nights of my entire life. I told him all the details. He told me he was happy for me, but told me I had to be careful. Many things can come from having sex. I promised I would be careful, and we left it from there.

Okay guys, I bet you’re tired of Jack and his sexcapades, so how about we get back to me? Alex, or have you forgotten me? I’m the British boy, you remember? The cute one? Ha I’m just messing around, got to have fun every now and then. Any way I’m just going to let you know what’s up because I am pretty much skipping sophomore year. We had a few more gigs, coffee shops, and school dances. We were slowly getting better and preforming our own songs. Matt was doing an awesome job of manager, Jack and Maria were going strong, and Jack was still alive, meaning that Zack didn’t find out about the sex. School was good; it was Zack’s senior year. Everything was good.

However, at Mays wedding, the summer before sophomore year, Jacks mom made a huge announcement. She was sick and would be moving in with her boyfriend, who was also her doctor. She was trying to keep it from the kids, but couldn’t any longer. May already had a house; Joe announced he would be moving in with his girlfriend, which left Jack. He didn’t like her boyfriend and told her he would sooner move in with his dad before her and her boyfriend. That caused some yelling. Eventually we came to the conclusion that Jack could stay with my mom and I. The next few days were spent packing and moving him into my dad’s old office. We got everything moved in and the first couple nights he stayed in my room because he was really upset. He felt like his mom chose her boyfriend over her kids. It took a toll on him. He spent most nights crying and most days eating or sleeping. Every morning I would wake up to him clinging to me for dear life. The only thing that calmed him was Maria. For a month he was so depressed my mom and I thought we would have to make him see my therapist.

Then one day he snapped out of it. Just out of nowhere him and Maria were fighting, it got quite, she left, he yelled, and then the next day he was fine. He was like old Jack again, it was weird. I’m not sure what she said, but it worked. We started school, Joe got engaged, the band was doing good, Matt was working with the producer, it was great. For fall break Jack and I were flying out to England to see my dad and family. This would be the first time jack had ever left the States, he was excited.

We came back and for Christmas my dad came down and spent it with us. The rest of the year went by in a blur. The summer of our junior year though was quite eventful. Joe was getting married and we would be playing that. It was the first time in months that Jack would see his mom, May was pregnant, and Jack had a surprise for everyone.

When we saw Jacks mom, we didn’t recognize her. She had lost so much weight and looked like she was 10 years older than she really was. It broke Jacks heart. She lightened up when he gave her a hug and when she got to see May and her new baby bump. Jack and Joe both were ecstatic to be uncles. Everyone was making bets on the sex of the baby, Joe wanted a girl and Jack wanted a boy. Maria, Rian, and Matt were all with Joe, while Zack and I were with Jack. We would get to find out about 2 months after school started.

Jack had told us that after we preformed, he wanted to say a few words. We played for about an hour before we called it quits. We got everything off the stage and gave Jack the mic, never in my life will I forget his speech.

“First off, congrats to my brother for getting this wonderful girl, don’t you ever treat her wrong because we all know; she’s not with you for your looks. I’m just kidding bro, I love you and wish you all the happiness in the world, but just so you know, May is having a boy. You might have picked the right girl, but you picked the wrong person to bet against. Now to the real reason I am up here. As you all know, May is married, Joe just got married, and my mom no longer lives here. I moved in with my best friend Lex who has been with me through thick and thin and I love you bro, I love all my band mates who have helped me through this. There is on other person I want to thank for helping me through all of this, through pretty much everything. She had been there for me since day one and I can honestly say it was love at first sight. She pulled me out of the darkness that surrounded me and almost suffocated me. Hell I couldn’t play guitar for a month, and guitar is my life. I know that we are still young, but I know one thing is for sure, I love her with all my heart. I only have one last thing to say, Maria Izobell Merrick, will you spend the rest of your days by my side?” and with that he got down on one knee and everyone gasped.
