"Why?" I whined.
"Because, just because. It's not like you'd know her anyways. I met her at a show."
"Oh, is she blonde?" I asked giving him a smirk.
"No!" He lowly shouted as if it shouldn't have been an option.
"Brunette?"
"Stop it." He rolled his eyes and settled down into the seat.
"Okay so she's a brunette. Is she younger, older?"
"Same age."
"Is she smart or stupid?"
"She's smart, like wowingly smart."
"Wowingly? What does she see in you?" I joked.
"She doesn't, that's the thing." Jack fell serious.
"She doesn't like you back?"
"She doesn't act like she does."
"Girls hide their feelings really well."
"No, I'm pretty sure she's not into me." He said with disappointment in his voice.
"Who wouldn't like you Jacky? C'mon, don't put yourself down. How many times have you hung out with her?"
"Quite a few times. She's still totally oblivious to me when I drop a hint."
"How come I haven't heard of her before? You're usually with us."
"I don't want to get the guys all tensed up. You know how the guys were when Alex started dating Lisa." He's right, everyone freaked out.
They were worried he wasn't going to put forth the effort in the band anymore even though Rian had a girlfriend too.
Rian and Kera were dating before the band had started getting serious so they weren't really worried.
"They got over it though. The band's serious, but when was the last time you had a serious relationship?"
"Dunno, a couple years."
"You're a great guy. Any girl would be lucky to have you. You're just too much of an idiot at first for them to realize. Let one get to know you better, pinky swear they'll fall in love with you."
He smiled, "thanks." He simply said.
I knew Jack didn't have the greatest self esteem.
In Fact, I'm pretty sure I'm the only one who he's admitted it before, others have kinda figured.
He's always being compared to Alex, always the second choice. Yeah, at least he's the second, but when you've been second your entire memorable life, you kinda guess yourself.
Like he'll never be first so he mind as well be last. The fans they do have love him, but only because he's funny and kiddish. They don't really see that sweet, sensitive side of him. Of course those being Jack's words. I mean, I've seen that side. Everyone in the band has. He has such a passion for everything. Everyone in this band has stars in their eyes. If any band is going to make it, these guys are. They wouldn't be able to breath without each other.
"What about you?" Jack asked interrupting my thoughts.
"What about me?"
"Any guy on your mind?" I was silent for a moment.
I've dated only a few times and never found an interest in it. Just commitment is boring. I never talk to anyone, but the guys anyways.
"I guess I don't."
"You can't be serious. C'mon, who's the lucky guy."
"Lucky." I mocked lowly.
"You're.. y'know? Uh, he's lucky." He lightly laughed repeating the same words I had said earlier.
"There's no is. There's no guy. I guess I'm like weird or something."
He laughed, "You're not weird, you're just not outgoing."
"But you're the only ones I like to hang out with. I hate those stupid ass guys who think they can get anyone."
"Is Tre hitting on you again?" Jack asked with a smirk.
"Yes. Dumb fuck asked me to go watch some sci fi movie with him. What kind of date is that? First a movie is so cliche, be creative and second I have no interest in sci fi at all." I ranted. "Maybe you should give him a chance."
"How about no."
"I was just trying to help."
"Who me or Tre? What are you some kind of wingman?"
"Like I'm actually friends with Tre."
"Can you guys shut the fuck up." Rian said raising up.
