Throwing Stones at Glass Houses
Chapter 13
Jack's POV
I walked down the hall into the detention room and sat in the back corner. Alex sat in the front corner staying far away from me. "I'll be back for you two in two hours," the principal said walking out of the room. I pulled out my phone and plugged my headphones in. I listened to some Blink-182 a little bit louder than normal. "Is that Blink-182," I faintly heard Alex say. "Yeah," I said. I lowered the volume a bit. "You like them," he asked. "Uh, yeah," I said putting on a new song. "I'm sorry about what happened, Jack right," he asked me. "Yeah, and it's alright," I said looking over at him. "Woah you like Green Day," I said looking at Alex's shirt. "Yeah, they are amazing. You like them," he asked me looking interested in the conversation. "Yeah, I took my sister to see them last year," I said. "I was there to," he said. Alex was a really cool guy. It turns out he is interested in the same stuff as me. We sat there talking for the whole time about bands and stuff. "Hey we should hang sometime," I told Alex as we walked out to the parking lot. "How about today," Alex asked walking towards his car. "Yeah, that would be cool," I said looking around for my car. "Shit," I said under my breath. "What's wrong," Alex said starting his car. My friends took my car," I said pulling my phone out. "I'll bring you home. Hop in," Alex said unlocking the car door. I got in and we headed to my house.

So I originally found this on Mibba, but came over to this site once I saw it wasn't finished on there (and seeing you said you had a profile on here in an author's note), to see if you maybe finished it on here...
You didn't, which is a bummer. :( But you did get one more update up on here in comparison to Mibba, so that's something.
I really like what you have of this story, and bummed that you didn't continue/finish it. Especially after reading this last update; I had a feeling what all was between her and Vic was kind of rigged, but wasn't sure. Now... :O
I'm just wondering why Alex hates her so much. I mean, at first I thought it was because he liked her, so he teased her, but then he just started getting awfully harsh and then like almost took advantage of her... like WTF. I also can't believe Jack would be friends with him after seeing him hit his sister, just because he seemed "alright"... that was a bit weird.
But I think you're a really great writer, other than those missing factors. Some of those you were probably leading into explaining more and just didn't get to, which is really unfortunate.
If you ever find yourself wanting to write for this story again, I will be here to read. I also subscribed to it on Mibba too, although this seems to be the most up-to-date version. But regardless of which platform you post on, I will read. :) I think it's a really intriguing plot line and I would love to see how it all ends.
Hoping this comment will maybe inspire you to continue. If not, just wanted to let you know how much I have enjoyed this and just wanted to show you that people like me are still stumbling across your story. :)
