Alex

It’s only been three days since Jack left, and the kids were missing him like crazy. I would be lying if I said I wasn’t, because I was heartbroken whenever he is gone. I know it’s his job, but it’s hard on all of us, even him. Rian was currently over at our house, to help out with the kids, as my sister and Lexi are out for the day having a Mother/Daughter day. “What song sound we play?” He asked me as we had set up our stuff in the basement, with the kids sitting on the couch.

“I don’t know. Been awhile since we played together. Also, if we want to do this for real Ri, we are going to need a guitarist and bass player.” I commented.

“I know, I know. But we don’t know any other good player. The only good guitar player I know other than you is Jack. Plus, I’m pretty sure he wouldn’t join our stupid little band. We are not as good as the one he is with now, we would just hold him back.” I knew what Rian was saying was true, but I couldn’t help but think about a band with my love in it with me. I never thought about it before, but it honestly sounded like heaven. We would both be doing the thing we love most, which is music and being together all the time. We would even be able to bring Joella and Noah on tours with us. But, that’s just a dream, it would never happen.

“Play Green Day!” Noah shouted with a laugh. Joella cheered with him and Rian and I laughed. We set up a system to play bass for us, since Rian had the drums, and I had the guitar part down pat. We went straight into the song, Basket Case. It reminded me of Jack, seeing as it was his favorite Green Day song.

We played thru the whole song, as Joella and Noah rocked out in their seats. I took my guitar off, wanting to take a short break, just as I heard my phone go off. I walked over to where I set it down and picked it up. I saw I was getting a call from Jack. I smiled and answered the phone, bringing it up to my ear. “Hey babe. How are you?”

“Alex, it’s Matt.” I heard the other voice spoke. Matt was a good friend of mine, I have known him ever since Jack and I met for the second time back in the bar all those years ago. He sounded a bit worried, and that’s when the worry set into me.

“Matt? Where’s Jack? Is he okay?” I quickly rushed out.

“You’re not going to like what I’m about to say Alex.” He sighed. I felt my chest tighten and my heart shatter at his next words. “Jack’s shitface drunk right now.”

Notes

Sorry it's short.
I'm not in the mood to write, but I had to get my chapter out.
