The Night Hasuki Fell in Love

White Lily: Jack's story

When Jack was born his parents weren't happy about it, they were at a party and forgot to use protection, so in their minds, Jack was a mistake.
Jack was a miracle since while he was in the womb his mother didn't stop drinking and doing drugs, and neither did his father.

His parents were alcoholics and drug addicts, and they never loved Jack.

Jack's mother Danielle and his father Michael, never caused problems, never beat Jack, and provided him with a place to sleep.

They loved each other so much but their drug addiction and alcohol abuse stopped them from being anywhere close to good parents.

Danielle was bipolar, there were days when she couldn't get out of bed and there were days when she was full of life. Michael did all the dangerous drugs you could think about, which led him to develop psychosis.

When Jack grew older, he was adopted by his grandparents, they were nice people and Jack loved them deeply, to him they weren't his grandparents, they were his parents. Danielle and Michael weren't part of his life at this point, they didn't even show up at events like his birthday or graduation.

Jack's parents used to go to a local bar all the time and spend their time drinking and talking. They were so well known there that the people working at the bar already knew what time they were coming each day of the week.

One day, they decided to spend their day on the roof of a tall building because they wanted to see all the beautiful places in the city they lived in.

-Wow Michael, this place is great.

-I know babe, I only take you to places as gorgeous as you.

-You're so romantic.

After a few drinks, Michael decided to walk on the edge of the roof in order to impress Danielle, but he got dizzy and fell off.

-MICHAEL!

Danielle was so drunk she didn't think twice about jumping after her husband.

They both died that night.

When Jack heard the terrible news, he wasn't visibly sad, but he grieved his parents.

-Jack sweetie, are you alright? His grandma asked.

-Yeah, I'm fine.

Jack already struggled with depression because his parents weren't there for him when he was little, but now that they died there was no way he could ever form a bond with them.

He was in high school at that point, he was really good at English, but not at other school subjects. He used to go home, lock himself in his room and cut himself with a sharp box cutter.

He wore shirts with long sleeves to cover his scars, when he was walking in the park before his first period, a student went to talk to him.

-Heyyy! how are you doing? The student asked Jack.

-I'm good?

-That's nice, I've just transferred here, and I don't have any friends.

-Okay?

-Would you like to be my friend?

-Sure...

The new student's name was Alex, he was a tall young man with long curly hair, and a nice person. One thing led to another and before you knew it, they were in love. They spent most of their time at Jack's house, playing video games and reading. His grandmother was so happy for him and was always happy to see Alex around. 

With time, Alex became possessive and managed to isolate Jack from his friends to the point where the only person Jack was seeing was him.

Alex used to call Jack almost every evening to tell him that he was going to come over so they could have sex. He became cold and distant, he only came to have sex with Jack and left while he was asleep. Jack always woke up alone.

His grandparents weren't concerned at all because they didn't know what was going on, they thought Alex had come to play video games or read with their son like he used to.

After some time, he didn't call Jack anymore, he just came over whenever he wanted, and his boyfriend still thought he loved him.

One morning, after waking up alone again, Jack waited for his ''boyfriend'' to come by again. He never did.

He was crushed, he started cutting deeper and more often, he didn't go to school anymore, and he also texted Alex every day. His grandparents tried to help him, but it didn't work.

 He graduated high school after a few weeks using the excuse of being hospitalized for not coming to school. His grandparents died of old age a week before he graduated.

Jack decided to commit suicide, but when he went to talk to his friends on discord one last time, he met Hasuki, it didn't change his mind at first, but after going on a date with him, he realized he wanted to live.

Jack was glad he found Hasuki, but after they slept together and woke up the next morning alone, all the trauma regarding the past few weeks came back to him.

He couldn't bear the emotional turmoil, so he killed himself.
