Summary: Jack confessed his hidden love to a girl called Steph who was touring with her band, will her decision to tell Alex that their secret is out, backfire or work in their favour.
"Jack, fuck you scared me!" I said desperatly trying to change the subject hoping i wouldnt have to explain anything to him. He was really drunk and i dont know if he rememebers what happened last night. I wasnt willing to jog his memory.
"Alex, whats wrong!?" I heard him squeal at Alex who was now doubled over with his head in his hands crying softly.
"Nothings fucking wrong Jack, leave me alone" Alex said, it startled me a bit, i never thought of Alex to be one that rasies his voice, i mean he had a good reason to. As Jack came forward to comfort Alex i put my hands to his chest stopping him and silently saying "Jack he just needs some time, i promise come here and ill tell you whats happening?" He shook his head "No, i want to help Alex!" I kept my hands firmly placed on his bare chest, restiricing his movement to Alex.
"Jack, i just need some time, i honestly didnt think you would betray me like that, please i just need get away from you" Alex said in a small tone, enough for both of us to hear and nod together.
"Alex, what the fuck are you talking about, what betrayal? What? Alex what are you saying?" His voice was raised making Alex flinch at his tone. Jack clamed down and breathed saying "Alex, i just need you to tell me what happened, please, what betrayal?" His voice was coming in begging and pleading for Alex to have some compassion and tell him what happened.
"Jack, im sorry" Was all Alex choked out before he was heading to his bunk. Jack frozen in the spot he was standing. My hands fell from his chest and i grabbed him and sat him down on the leather couch. I looked him in the eye and said:
"Jack how much from last night do you really honestly remember?" i said with a harsh tone, getting annoyed that i was in the middle of this. I really just bought this upon myself by telling Alex, but i thought it was right to do so, he was so upset and i had never seen him like that. It was heart wrenching.
"I..i..i dont remember much, all i know is that i said something to Alex, but i dont really remember what..." He said shakily.
"Jack you didnt say anything to Alex, you were passed out the whole time you were with him" i said softly. He shot me a confused look.
"I dont know why hes so angry" He said changing the subject unknowingly that i was hinting at telling him.
"I dont know either Jack, but he wants time, so you need to give him some i think, go get cleaned up, i think i heard Matt outside before" I said with a small smile. He nodded and got up, heading for the shower.
I figured i should probably do the same. Soundcheck was about 20 minutes away anyway.

"Sugar were goin down"
"Loaded god complex"
"Cock it and pull it"
I sang into the microphone, not being able to hear my own voice since the second verse, when the drums stopped i sang again.
"i cant fucking hear myself sing, can someone fix that pretty, pretty please" As i smiled and looked to our sound manager and winked at him.
"There you go, fucking tour princess" He laughed at me.
"Shut the fuck up dude" I said playfully as i bounded of stage heading backstage to put the touches on my hair before going to once again see if Alex was alright with everything.
--&--
"Alex, are you in here" I said with caution as i approached the bunks. Each one of the curtians open..
"Clearly not.." I muttered to myself as i walked into the back lounge.
Suddendly i heard a whimper from the bathroom. "Alex, are you in there?"
He obviously was, but i wasnt about to point out the obvious.
"Y..yeah, i am, but dont come in, im..im busy, sorry" he said in a shaky voice, i didnt know what he was doing, but it didnt sound like he was going to the bathroom, it sounded suspisious. "Okay, ill just wait out here, i wanted to talk to you about what happened before" I said with a sigh, i had nothing left to do today, so i dedicated all day to spending time with Alex, making him gain some courage to talk to Jack about it, but not trying to pressure him about it.
"Oh..okay, ill be out in a sec" He said surprised about the fact that i was actually staying and waiting for him.
A few seconds later he emerged with a smile and a shaky tone and said "What'd you want to talk about again?" I looked at him with a shaky smile and patted the couch for him to come and sit down next to me.
"I was just worried about you, i didnt want you to do anything you would regret with Jack, and its all my fault really, i should have never told you, i should have let Jack tell you. Im so sorry, i ruined everything" I said as my voice got shakier towards the end.
"its not your fault, trust me, im glad you told me, or i would have ended up doing something i woudl regret, thankyou for telling me" he sighed, blatntly trying to make me feel better, but none the less i took it and moved on.
"Thankyou..Wai..wait, Alex, Why are you bleeding?" The red lines appeared through his jeans he looked at me as he got up to grab a towel.
The next words he said with a proud grin, shattered my being.
Like he was happy that he was punishing himself for something he couldnt control.
"I dont regret it at all, i deserved this, i deserved Jack cheating on me"
