I'm all alone in this world

My own home

Melina P.O.V

After I was forced to eat, Jack being the dork he was attempted pick up lines on me. I knew he was trying to cheer me up and it worked a little I guess. He got a half smile out of me, but that was merely because this had reminded me of the old days. When I wasn't necessarily happy but I was at least doing better. I was in a relationship with someone at the time and being with a guy doesn't cure depression but he..., he was different. He was the first guy I ever truly loved. He would greet me with "hey princess" or "hey beautiful" and he would always have some dumb pick up line prepared for me. He would pick me up and put me on his shoulders. We were just dumb together. I would take him out on dumb dates and play with his hair as he would lie in my lap or vise versa. We'd often just nap together. Only he decided one day that it was time for him to take his life. One of the lowest points in my life. I tried to save him. I drove over to his house and called the cops, only I was too late. I just wish I could've done more to save him. I glanced back over at Jack. He reminded me of him. Only at the same time not at all. Fucking hell why did all of this have to be so confusing. "Fuck you heart" I mumbled to myself. "Mellll come on loosen up a little" Jack whined. "Mel Mel Mel I will go a full 20 minutes without cursing if you laugh at one of my jokes, genuinely though" he continued whining. "A whole twenty minutes" I asked raising an eyebrow. "A whole twenty minutes" he replied. "Alright I'll do it" I laughed slightly. "Okay okay I have to write this one down though for you to get it" he grinned. He grabbed a sheet of paper and started to write Donald. "Jack I swear to god if the last word is trump" I groaned. "So you know how Donald trump is an ass right" he laughed to himself. "Yes I know" I rolled my eyes. "well he can also be called dANALd trump" jack said cracking up. I cracked a half smile. "Get it cause all the shit he says comes out of his mouth" he grinned. I actually began laughing when he had said that. "You're a dork" I laughed. We went back to our game shortly after and seeing Jack struggle not to swear whenever he lost a game was really funny. I couldn't help but let my mind wander though. For once my heart was letting me be happy. For once I didn't mind having to eat so much food. I knew I would regret it later but the fact and the matter was I was actually genuinely fine for once. Hours passed by without any of us noticing. "Holy shit its already midnight" Wren pointed out looking at the clock. "Do you need a ride home" Jack asked. I hesitated before answering. I didn't want to be alone that night. I wanted this happiness to actually last for once. "Oh uh y-yeah I guess so I mean unless you want to hang out at your place tonight or do something still" I gulped. "Yeah I'm down for that" Jack cooed running his hands through his hair. "So do you want to head out to your place or my place or somewhere else" I asked. "We can head to your place" Jack sighed happily.
