Okay so I decided on making 6 chapters (one for each band p.o.v.) for each year. So everyone is in there second year.

Jack's P.O.V.

I watch Alex as he talks to some of the Ravenclaws about how he had the coolest older brother. He was around 21 years old and his name was Thomas. Alex was so passionate about some things, like space. Man, Alex could talk about space for hours and still have stuff left to talk about. It was about two months back into the new school year. It's still weird to watch Alex converse with the British people here because he knows all of the weird words that means different things in the United States. I forget sometimes that he used to live in Essex.

"Could Alex Gaskarth come with me please? And you should bring a very close friend with you." Professor McGonagall said, coming into the common room looking distraught. Alex slowly stood up and had this adorable confused face on.

"Jack, will you come with me?" Alex asked, looking over at me. I smiled to reassure him, and stood up.

"Of course Lexi." I replied, still smiling at him. We followed the Professor to Dumbledore's office.

"Sherbet Lemon." She said and the gargoyle started moving and created a staircase. We went up it and by now my poor Lexi looked so scared. So I grabbed his hand and squeezed it comfortably.

"Thanks Jacky." He said nervously, but smiling at me nonetheless. We walked into the office to find Professor Dumbledore looking sad.

"Alexander, I have dreadful news for you. I am glad you took Minerva's advice and brought a friend with you." He said, obviously trying to soften the blow on whatever he is trying to tell him.

"Professor what happened? What's going on?" Alex asked frantically, I have his hand another squeeze to calm him down. But this time it didn't seem to work, especially since he had no clue what was going to be said by Dumbledore in a second.

"I am terribly sorry but it seems that your brother Thomas, killed himself. I am so sorry for your loss." Dumbledore continued talking, Alex froze his hand not moving from mine. But still squeezing it hard, my face showed shock.

"No, no, Thomas wouldn't do that to me." I heard Alex mutter, my heart broke for the brunette next to me.

"Oh Lexi I am so sorry. I know how much you loved your brother." I tried to comfort Lexi but he just dropped my hand and fell on the ground. Landon hard on his knees, I crouched down to see that he was indeed crying softly. Tears marking tracks on his face, I went to hug him but he just yelped.

"No! I don't want your hugs I want my brother's hugs! I want my brother! I want Thomas!" He started yelling and crying heavily, I sighed and picked him up with ease. Alex was quiet light, I asked the professor where I should take him so he could be in private.

"The room of requirements would be a good place for you to calm him down. But please don't let him be alone in this." Dumbledore replied, I nodded and smiled at him.

"I wouldn't dream of leaving Lexi alone. Especially at a time like this, he needs me more now than ever." I told him sternly, he nodded and walked me to the Room Of Requirements. Alex was still full on sobbing when we entered what looked like a house. Dumbledore explained to me what the R.O.R does and how to access it. Once he had left, I carried Alex over to the bed across the room.

"Come one Lexi just lay on the bed and I will join you in a minute. I promise." I tried to coax him into letting go of me and crawling into the bed. He eventually caved in and laid in bed while I took off my shoes and his shoes. Then I slid into the comfy bed, Lexi immediately clung to me like a Koala. I didn't mind though, Alex had been my crush for like ever. And now he is laying on me, yeah he may be bawling his eyes out. And I might be trying to calm him down, but still it counts as something.

"I'm so scared Jacky." Alex sobbed into my shirt, making it more and more wet by the minute. I looked down at the crying boy, a confused expression clouding my face.

"Of what Lexi?"

"Of death, and living without Tom." His sobs were now sniffles and whimpers and hiccups. Eventually he fell asleep, I just watched him for a while until I finally drifted off into the best nights sleep in have ever gotten. I was holding my crush and my best friend, and he is so cozy and fun to cuddle. I guess it's hard not to have a great nights sleep.

Hey guys I know this is short but I ran out of ideas towards the end. I was thinking of making Alex having a panic attack but decided against it. The lightness of Alex is a clue by the way. Try and figure it out, well I hope you enjoyed! Bye!
