A/N: This is short and won't be updated until sometime in January 2014.
That was until all truth was relieved by a girl called Lisa.
--
A sunny Sunday morning rolled around and Jack was still in his bed, he actually hadn't left it since his mothers death, people had called and knocked on the door, and Jack would just stay in bed and close his eyes as tears rolled down his cheeks. Flowing, one after another, like salty waterfalls, he was desperate and screaming for someone to hold him, a least if his mother was her and asked for a hug, she would give it too him. But she's gone…

On the other side of town, it was morning in the Gaskarth's house, a big sunday brunch was being prepared. For this Sunday Lisa and her family were coming over and tucking into the brunch with the Gaskarth's, Alex was still lazily snuggled in bed with his girlfriend, as he slowly peeled his eyes open, he saw that she was tapping around his messages, going through them, deleting all the ones that she deemed suspicious.
That was until she got to Jack's messages, her eyes widened and her jaw went slack before she ripped off the covers and stood up looking at the groaning Alex as he pulled the covers over his head, not really willing to talk about Jack right now.
Her voice was small and hoarse, she obviously didn't want her parents hearing Alex and her arguing…
"Alex what the fuck is this?" She snapped, "Those are texts, from Jack and too Jack, Lisa, they are nothing" He said groaning at the harsh wake up call he was receiving "They don't fucking look like nothing Alex, I read the stuff you sent him, its fucking disgusting, he's a guy Alex" She shout-whispered at him "Lis, I know he's a guy & It was a long time ago, I was really horny and I didn't want to wake you up baby, I wanted you to sleep" He tired, reasoning with her was beginning to look like his only option, "Alex, I would have been happy to wake up for you, but seriously, some of the stuff you said sounded like you loved him Alex, is that true?" She glared at him, shooting him her signature bitch-face, "No baby, i don't love Jack, how could I, I was only using him, and it was only because I knew you weren't ready and I was really horny babe, please can we not do this and you fucking know that I love YOU and not Jack!" He began shouting, getting frustrated with the whole situation and really just wanting to go back to sleep, her voice rang small in his ears, "y-you love me Alex?" Alex reciprocated immediately saying "of course I do" He said with a small smile playing on his features, her grin made his break into a smile as she leaped forward, banging into his chest and straddling him, kissing his cheeks and his lips, saying softly "Oh god Alex, I love you too, i really really do Lex" As soon as she settled she was curled up against Alex's chest, with Alex's eyes closed and his breathing indicating he was asleep, she decided she would tell Jack what he really meant to Alex.

Jack was alone now, sitting alone, eating alone, drinking alone, watching TV alone, not that he wasn't alone before, but this was a different kind of alone, this was the kind that buried underneath your skin, made you feel uncomfortable, only stopping when you slept, it was the kind that gave you the constant reminder that nobody was there for you, nobody liked you, that everything and everyone you loved was gone…
Jack guessed that's what being lonely felt like.
He figured that it was now or never, he had a meeting with the lawyers in a few hours, they would be coming around, so all he really had to do was put on pants and some deodorant and he was fine, so thats what he did, it took him a few good hours, stopping every now and again, seeing his mothers perfumes and shampoo bottles, arranged like she was coming home, he trudged down the stairs, putting away a few stray coffee cups and stacking the dishwasher with the used dishes from a few nights ago, that his mother must have not had the opportunity to put away.
he heard a knock at the door, a swift sharp tap, he motioned up and began unlocking to door, twisting the handle, the first thing he saw was a young girl, about his age, with sweeping brown hair and a petite frame, gleaming green eyes and a devilish smirk, the next thing he felt was her hands pressed to his chest, slamming him against the wall with brut force.
Her words were razor sharp and cut like a blade.
"Stay the fuck away from my Alex, I know about you and him, your his little boy toy, you know that, he was just using you because I wasn't putting out, i was waiting until he told me he loved me, and guess fucking what Jack, he told me he loved me, stay the fuck away from our relationship, you worthless piece of shit"
Anger was bubbling in her veins as she slammed the door closed without another word.
Jack just sank to the ground in the hope that the world would swallow him whole.
