Jack's P.O.V.

"Kathy! Where the hell are you going?!" I shouted at my girlfriend... actually, it seems like we are splitting up. What else is new?

"Jack, I'm so done with your shit!!"

"Kathy, what are you even talking about? I've treated you right this entire time, and either way, we've only been going out for like 3 days. Are you on your period or something because I have no idea why you're mad at me?"

She rolled her eyes AGAIN. I swear, one day she will roll her eyes so hard they will fall out.

"Jack, I'm not on my f*cking period!"

"Then what the hell is it because obviously I don't know why you're leaving me?!"

"Oh my god. Well for starters, you have kissed me like 3 times and every time we do I feel like I'm kissing a wall. There is no spark, no emotion, nothing! It hardly feels like you're my boyfriend! Do you even truly like me?"

She finished that sentence with a sad look on her face and tears in her eyes. I felt bad because I don't really know if I like her for real or not.

I can't keep a girlfriend to save my life and even when I keep one for 4 or 5 days, I never feel anything. Its like I haven't met anyone that is compatible with me, or maybe I'm incapable of love. Whatever is wrong with my love life, I need to find out. For now however, I need to let Kathy down nicely; the only issue with that "nice" plan is that I had been staring at the ground for about a minute.

"I knew it... Jack, what was this? Where you using me? No, that doesn't make sense. We never did anything. Hell we only kissed 3 times. Were you just trying to toy with me?..."

I didn't answer mainly because I didn't know how to. How do I tell her that I'm just unable to love?

Kathy just looked at me filled with sadness, but that quickly changed to anger when she began to speak again.

"You know what? I don't care. Jack Barakat, we are done! You better think twice before talking to me again!"

And that was the last thing she said to me as she walked out of my room.

Alexanders P.O.V.

One of my favorite things to do is poke the poor damned souls with torches. Its not a job that needs to be done but the fact that my girlfriend happens to be Lisa, I can do almost anything I want to in Hell. Most mortals know Lisa as Lucifer; Lisa is her earth name and I like to call her that too. When we are on earth, we have different names that sound more "normal" according to the mortals.

"Alexander, Lucifer wishes to speak with you."

"Okay, thanks man."

I wonder what she wants. Normally she is busy at this time of day, but I don't know what she does when we aren't together. I mean, ruling Hell seems kinda easy considering all of the rest of the demons do most of the work. Lisa normally just plays around with mortals.

I reached the castle that holds only the important demons. The seven sins live there with all of their minions, Lisa lives there, and I have a room there only because I'm Lisa's boyfriend.

As I approached her door, I bumped into another demon. It looks like he had just come out of Lisa's room. "Oops, sorry. I should watch where I'm going I guess. Haha"

"Finally.." I sigh to myself once I finally got to her door.

I walked in and kneeled, just as every other demon has done from the beginning of time and will continue to do until the end of time.

"Rise love." She spoke such soft words to me as she turned to face me from her closet. "How does this dress look on me? I was thinking of wearing this dress or a nice pair of black and red striped jeans with a black crop top. What do you think?"

"You look amazing in everything, darling. But why aren't you wearing anything right now, and why do you need a special outfit?"

That didn't make sense. We go to dinner with the sins once a month and we just did that last week. And why isn't she wearing anything, she always has on a hot red and black outfit with tall heels. I'm probably thinking too far into this.

"Sweetie, I always need to look good when I go up to the mortal world."

"You're going to the mortal world?! Oh my Satan! Can I come? I haven't been in so long."

"Well of course you can come, my love. That's why I called you here; I have a mission for you. You will be sent to earth to fetch me a new soul."

This is a really big deal, Lisa only has a selected few go to get her souls. Even then, she only does that when necessary. I wonder who's soul, I wonder why. What if she lets me deal with it!

I was quickly snapped out of my thoughts when Lisa came up to me and handed me the scroll with the damned souls name on it and my instructions of what to do.

I quickly opened it up and saw the name, Jack Barakat. Why does that seem familiar?

"You leave right away. I will come to get you later on tomorrow. Now go!"

And with that, I left Hell and entered the mortal world as Alex.

Jacks P.O.V.

I felt more than ashamed as I went to the bathroom to pull out my favorite blade; it was the sharpest, so I knew that it would cut deep.

I moved my blonde and brown hair out of my eyes and got to work.

I had only gotten to the 6th cut when my best friends, Zack and Rian walked in to see what I had been doing to myself. Although, that wasn't what shocked me the most. What gave me shivers down my spine was the 3rd and final figure in the room with us. He looked so familiar. He was about my height, maybe a tad shorter. His hair was brown and swept in front of his big eyes... That's weird.. His eyes looked completely black for a moment, but now they're brown.

I'm not going to lie, he was really attractive.

He looked at me with sad eyes, shook his head, and mouthed the words "I'm so sorry.."
