A WEEK AWAY

* JACK KNIGHT ABOVE *

Sunlight poured into Jacks eyes as if he was standing under a waterfall. He groaned and rubbed his eyes lazily, that is until Alexa's horrified face comes into view. She was close to tears.

''Hey Hey! Calm down Aly, tell me, what's wrong?''

''J-jacky! K-kaylee... I got up to go to the bathroom when I saw her bag lying open in our tent, no one was in so I snooped through''

He gave her a disappointed look but let her continue.

''Then I came across a camera. So naturally, I started going through it for any proof that she isn't good enough for you.''

Jacks scowl deepened.

''W-wait! T-then I we i-it was images and videos of us, from last night!''

Jack looked shocked. His eyes allowed Alexa to continue.

''W-we were dancing and drinking and behaving stupid, but then I came across videos of us playing games, a-and telling secrets, a-and me kissing Marcus I dont remember it, Jacky!''

He looked more and more horrified as Alexa carried on.

She remorsefully said, ''They got it on camera, you talking about your scholarship and how you could lose it, what if they release it, everyone will know and your spot on the team...!!''

''N-no, Kayls wouldn't do that?!'' Jack stuttered, now tearing up himself. Alexa looked at him, annoyed.

''That's not all!''

Jack looked at her confused, then as recognition struck in his eyes and looked at Alexa for confirmation, his heart broke for his best friend when she confirmed.

''They know Im an orphan.'' Alexa muttered weakly.

That was all it took for her to break down in his arms and bawl her eyes out. Jack was angry, angry at Kaylee, angry at the others, even angry at Greendale College, but he was furious at the stupid drunk driver who crashed into his dearest friends parents.
