Hazel Pov

It was 3:45am an I was watching from my window Jack was punching a tree and talking to himself, I sigh standing up an grabbing a jacket before going down stairs and walking outside, he turns around an stared at me while breathing heavily, I walk closer an he tensed when I take his hand and examine his bleeding and bruised knuckles.

"Don't act like you care, please" He says pulling back with a sad expression on his face "I've only known you for a day, Jack, your my brothers friend so let me help" I said softly an take his hands in mine "I don't need help" He says, I could hear in his voice he was starting to get angry "you don't have a choice, now come on" I said an lead him inside.

"Why are you awake so early?" He asks curiously as I clean his knuckles under the sink in the kitchen "I haven't slept" I murmur searching the kitchen until finding a first aid kit "how come?" He asks as I start bandaging his hands "I could ask you the same thing, Jack" I said smirking slightly as I finish bandaging "I couldn't sleep, thanks for the help" He says bitterly.

"Your welcome, I should go back to staring out the window, if you can't sleep maybe you'd like to join me?" I said suggestively "sure" He murmurs an we walk up stairs and into my room. We sit on the couch "so why can't you sleep?" I ask curiously "I have alot going through my mind, why can't you sleep?" He says bluntly "I have Insomnia" I said shrugging, he glanced at me "that sucks" He says softly "yep" I said popping the 'p'.

"I'm sorry you had to see me like that, I don't normally abuse trees" He says frowning "how come you were so angry for?, you don't have to tell me I'm just nosey so" I said shrugging, he smiles slightly "I might tell you but not until I know I can trust you" He says "that's understandable" I said yawning tiredly "try an get some sleep" He says sternly.

"I can't sleep" I said sighing "just try, for Emily and Caleb" He says with a small smile "fine but can I ask you something" I ask softly, he looks at me curiously for a moment "sure" He murmurs "has my Father ever mentioned me?" I ask feeling sick, he's face drops an he looks away from me "yeah a few times, I don't want to tell you though" He says sadly.

"Why not?" I ask raising an eyebrow, he stands up "trust me, you don't want to know what people say, ok" He says sorrowful, I stand up "as a matter of fact I do" I said narrowing my eyes, he turns to face me and roughly grabs my arm "please don't make me tell you" He says pleadingly an was about to leave "Jack, I'm sorry ok" I said croakily, he sighs "don't apologise, Hazel, you've done nothing wrong" He says an faces me.

"Why is everyone so secretive for?" I said annoyed an collapse on the couch with crossed arms "what do you mean?" He asks nervously as he hesitantly sits down on the edge of the couch looking uncomfortable "nothing" I murmur an stand up, he watches me as I climb the ladder to my bed on the too bunk and sigh laying down.

He stands up "I should go" He says an leaves when he realised I wasn't gonna reply to him, I lay staring at the ceiling until sleep finely consumed me but my last thought was why did Jack look so nervous when I mentioned about everyone being secretive hmm.
