*Jack's pov*

I pulled up outside a closed down shop and turned off the engine of my car. The blurred headlights of cars zoomed past, making me close my teary eyes.
I was crying over her. Again.
But it was my fault. I had lost her and I guess I deserved it...
My head was pounding so I leant back and found myself drifting off  to sleep.

When I opened my eyes again, there were no more cars on the road. I picked up my phone and checked the time. Shit. 4am.
I typed in my password.
6 missed calls - Conor
5 messages - Conor
1 message - Joe

I opened the messages from Conor first.
'How did it go brova??'
'Jack, it's getting late and Joe said you left his place so where are you?'
'Guess it didn't go great then?...'
'It's almost 1am where the fuck are you'
'Jack I'm worried. Please don't do anything stupid and please come home'

I bit my lip, paused and then pressed the back button.
I clicked Joe's name.
'I know you walked in Jack. Y/n doesn't but I do. And I'm sorry, but she need someone who's actually going to be there for her. Hope we can stay friends.?'

Adding salt to the wounds?? Pffft.   Try a gallon of fucking acid.

*20 minutes later*

I pulled up outside my house and climbed out of my car. I walked up to the door but when I tried it, it was locked so I knocked gently.
After a minute of silence I heard footsteps and then the door opened. Conor looked me up and down, sighed and said 'thank god' before enveloping me in a tight hug. Suddenly I felt a sharp pain in my side.
"What was that for?!" I asked.
"For not texting me back. Do you know how worried I was?'
"You sound like mum."
His frown moulded into a grin and he chuckled.
"Well, are you just going to stand there smart ass?" He joked, and I walked inside.

*Conor pov*

It was obvious Jack had been crying. His eyes were bloodshot and cheeks red and raw.
"Sit." I demanded once he came inside. He sat on the sofa opposite me. "What happened Jack?"
"I apologised, they forgave me and then I left."
I raised my eyebrow at him.
"Then what's got you so down?"
Jack took a deep breath.
"She'sgoingoutwithJoenow."

Even though he said it really fast, I still understood.
"I'm sorry..." I mumbled.
He nodded at me then walked into his room and shut the door.
I sat there silently for a minute listening to the muffled cries coming from his room.

I always wanted my little brother to fall in love but now he had fallen too deep.

So this is a really short update but I hadn't updated in so long that I just wanted to get something up. Basically I thought I'd update as soon as I got home from my Irish college but then I ended up going to Cork for like 2 weeks so I didn't get a chance to until now. I'M SORRY FORGIVE ME PLEASE AND THANKS. (Also I came home to 22k whAt). Ly all and I'll update soon - Orla xx
