Jack

Why didn’t I ask him his last name? I could’ve asked around my dorm to see if people knew him, but now I will never see Alex again.

I feel like crying, not only did I lose Zack, but I lost my new boyfriend Alex. Wait, he’s nowhere near being my boyfriend. I need to get better at this one night stand thing, I haven’t slept with anyone that wasn’t my boyfriend before, this is all really new to me.

I’m never going to have a one night stand again, it was a huge mistake, now I’m attached to a complete stranger.

“Jack, are you okay?” I heard Rian’s voice enter, and looked up to see my roommate walking in.

“Maybe, where did you sleep last night? You weren’t here.” I asked him.

“Yeah, when I tried to get in, the door was locked, and I heard some random dude inside moaning like a slut so I assumed I wasn’t welcome. I slept in Cass’s room.” he explained to me, I felt guilty immediately.

Rian has been so sweet to me through everything I’ve been through, he supported me while I was an emotional roller coaster after Zack dumped me.
And I just lock him out of his own room, I’m such an asshole.

“I’m really really sorry about that, but I met someone new, and I really like him.” I confessed, sitting up on the bed. I can't help but not have every single word that comes out of my mouth be about Alex.

“Really Jack? Is he a good guy? Where did you meet him?” he sounded happy for me, but skeptical like any best friend would be.

“At a bar, and I think he’s a good guy… I haven’t really met him yet.” I went on.

“Oh god, Jack! You can’t get attached to a random hookup!” he scolded.

“Of coarse I can, you haven’t even seen him! He’s amazing, and adorable, and really sexy, and sweet. I think he could be the one!” I argued.

“You’re just using all these feelings you used to have on Zack, and propelling them onto a random stranger. You have no idea who he is Jack, you aren’t ever going to see him again. I’m sorry, but you deserve better than a dick that just uses you for a booty call.” Rian argued.

He was just being protective of me, but he didn’t go through what I went through. Alex and I have a real connection, we have a spark. All I need is to find him again, and we can have another chance.

Rian sighed when I didn’t answer, he knew that his argument was useless. When I want something, I sure as hell get it. What I want, is Alex.

“What’s his name?” Rian asked.

“Alex,” I swooned at the thought of my mysterious lover.

“Uh, Alex what?” he questioned, looking for a last name.

“I donno,” I shrugged.

Rian groaned at my ignorance. I knew I was being a little naive, thinking I could find him again by just a first name. I knew I could, maybe he would even come to me.


While I was on my way to work at the music store, I couldn’t help but look around a little more often, just to check if I would see Alex anywhere on campus.
He’s probably sleeping with some other guy, and has forgotten all about me, and just moved on to his next hook up. That’s what I should do, not the hookup part, the move on part.

I have to move on from Alex. I have to move on from Zack.
I’m too good for both of them.

It was hard trying to get them both out of my head, I kept thinking about how I wasn’t supposed to think about them, so it made me think about them more.

Don’t think about Zack.
Don’t think about Alex.
Don’t think about either of them.


I opened the door to the record shop, and immediately made eye contact with a pair of chocolate eyes.

Notes

I know this is super short, but I thought it was a good place to put a sort of cliffhanger thing XD
sooo, do you guys think it's Zack or Alex who is in the music store?
do you guys think that Jack is crazy that he thinks Alex and him actually have a shot, or do you think that there really was a spark between them both?

I will update ASAP for you guys :D
