~Alex's POV~

I had been sitting in the cafeteria for 10 minutes, and there was still no sign of Jack.

"Dude, he's just gone to the bathroom, he'll be back soon." Rian nudged my side. I was bobbing my knee up and down and fiddling with my hands. I know it wasn't a great setting, with being in school, but I wanted to ask Jack on a date; a proper one, not just a snuggle day. I wanted to take him out somewhere and spoil him. After all, he deserved it.

"Nah, I'm going to go and look for him." I got up and wandered off, in search for Jack. I wandered all over the school, until I got to the last corridor on the top floor. And then I saw Jack around the corner, standing in a weird position.

"Oh, Jay, I've been looki-" I stopped dead in my tracks. I'd found Jack, but he wasn't alone, he was standing with Maria, one of the biggest sluts in this hell hole, and they were up against the wall, making out with eachother. "WHAT THE FUCK JACK?!" I screamed at him. Anger surged through my body, and I knew I just needed to get out, otherwise I would end up hurting somebody. My legs started moving as fast as they could, in the opposite direction from the sight I just saw. How could he do that to me? I thought he liked me, he said I was perfect. So all the kisses, the embraces, the cute moments, meant nothing? He said he'd never leave me alone, but how am I expected to stay with him, when he goes and does this behind my back?!

My legs were still carrying me away, away from school, away from my responsibilities, away from everything. I just needed to be alone. Me and my thoughts. When I was too tired to sprint anymore, I broke down into a fast walk, I was quite athletic, so I didn't get tired easily. I put my earphones in, and shuffled my iPod. I didn't care what song was playing, I just wanted to drown out everything else, so I turned it up to full volume.

After about half an hour of walking, I needed to stop and have a break, but then I realised where my feet had carried me to, subconsciously. In front of me stood the giant oak tree that Jack loved to go to. Why did I run here? This was just going to make me think of him. Ugh, I was so stupid, but nonetheless, I climbed the tree, and sat on the big branch where the clearing in the leaves was.

I turned my phone on, and saw that I had 9 missed calls; 4 from Jack, 3 from Cass and 2 from Rian. Great, so now they all probably know what's happened and will come looking for me soon enough. I just wanted to be alone so I sat, staring at nothing, until sleep finally took me.
