Throwing Stones at Glass Houses
Chapter 5
I sat in the car coming back to my house. Jack tapped on the wheel with his thumbs. "Hey, would you wanna hang out with me and the guys," Jack asked me. "I don't know," I said looking at my stitches. "Well I'm going over to Zack's now," he said turning down Zack's block. I had only been to Zack's house once Sophomore year. I stayed inside the whole time watching the party from a window. I was forced to come. Jack told me Zack really wanted me there. So after much hesitation and consideration, I decided to go for a bit. ----We pulled up into Zack's driveway. "Jack," a boy from school called. Jack walked up the driveway and I stood on the side of the car with my back on the door. I looked over at the group of boys and easily recognized a couple of kids from school. I looked at the faces. Jack sat in between Rian and Zack. Next to Zack, from my left to right, was Kellin Bostwick, Jordan Witzigreuter, Cameron Hurley, and Christofer Ingle. Cameron looked over at Jack, "Who's the girl?" "Yeah Jack, she's pretty," Kellin said winking at me. I suddenly felt a bit awkward. I pulled out my phone and texted Jack:
"I'm gonna walk home... Maybe I'll come back later."
He looked up at me and texted back a quick okay, be safe, and I love you. I looked at him rolling my eyes and turned around walking down the driveway. "Wait Stella," Jack called back. I rolled my eyes and walked back not saying a word. I stood there staring at him. Jack took his sweatshirt off. "This should keep Mom off your case. Keep it on," he said handing it to me. "How did things go afterwards," Rian said trying not to let the others hear. He failed since they were all trying to listen. I bent down to show Rian my arms which then Zack insisted on seeing too. "As long as you're better now," Zack said smiling at me big. "Yeah, she's fine now," Jack said as I put the sweatshirt on. I turned again walking away feeling embarrassed. I pulled my hood over my head. "Stella," Jack called back. I turned around and gave him the what-the-hell-do-you-want look. "I love you sissy," he shouted. "Love you too stupid," I shouted back giving him an innocent smile. I continued walking down the street towards my block.

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. :)
