Really important Authors note at the end of this. Please read it.

Ronnie- Didn't I tell you I would destroy what you loved to make your life hell?

I read the text over and over again. Each time I read it, it would make it harder for me to breathe. When she first threated me with this, I wasn't bothered by it, I thought I loved nothing. But now I realized that Jack is what I love. He always was. I just risked him getting hurt by being near him and writing that song about him. Then of course there is when I kissed him. In all honesty, I was thinking when I did those things, I forgot all about Jack's safety. 

I shoved my phone in my pocket and ran to Jack's house. I knocked on the door, and again it was his mother who answered it. "Hello Mrs. Barakat, is Jack here?" I smiled, like nothing was wrong. But really everything was wrong at this point. 

"Sorry, I'm afraid not. He said something about going for a walk." She smiled as I nodded my head and walked away from the house. I pulled my phone out of my pocket and went to Jack's contact. 

Me- Hey Jack, where are you?

I almost immediately got a reply. Okay, he was fine. 

Jack: You're too late Alex.

Or not...

[Jack's pov]

I dug my hands into my pockets as I walked down the sidewalk. I sighed and watched as kids ran around the park. I walked passed the park, not really going anywhere specific. Suddenly I felt a hand on my shoulder, I smiled. "Hey Lex." I whispered and turned around. 

When I turned around my smile fell. It wasn't Alex. Not at all. "Hey Jack." Ronnie smiled. 

"What do you want, Ronnie?" I groaned. I can never be happy can I?

"Just a favor." She said calmly. 

"Okay, what is it?" I asked, I swear I saw some tears in her eyes as she looked down. 

"Are you okay?" I whispered. 

"Alex. I can't find him, we were supposed to go on a date tonight..." She trailed off. My stomach twisted. My eyes went wide. 

"Holy shit." I whispered. "Uhm. He- uh just check his house. It's across from mine. I'll walk you there." I insisted. She kissed me on the cheek, for some reason she's acting nicer than normal. "Thank you Jack." She whispered and wiped her tears away.

"Jack, I've been looking everywhere for you." I called out to him. "Why are you walking with Ronnie?" I asked. Jack looked at Ronnie and hugged her, whispering something. He glanced at me and then walked into his house. 

"What the hell?" I asked. Ronnie walked over to me and took my hand. I was too in shock to pull away. She walked me to where Jack's burned down tree house was. "What did you do to him?" I yelled.

"I told him you and I were dating. Because if you say anything or do anything about the attraction you two have towards each other, or are left in a room alone from now on, I will have my friends land you both in hospital beds. From now to forever, I want you to stay away from Jack Bassam Barakat." She spoke with a stern voice. Did I really want Jack to be put in a hospital with whatever condition Ronnie chose? No. Not really. 

"Fine." I sighed. "I'll do it. Whatever I have to do, I'll do it." 

Little did I know, that meant dating Ronnie.

I laid on my bed, facing the ceiling. So, today's been a good and bad day. I kissed Alex. Probably the only good thing that happened. Well, besides hooking Astrid and Zack up. I smiled as I remembered the look on Astrid's face. She was so happy. They're in love, I can tell. 

My phone buzzed from the spot next to me on my bed. I groaned and rolled over. 

Alex: Sorry I didn't tell you sooner. Ronnie and I have been dating for awhile.

I made a disgusted face towards my phone. I guess I can't really blame Alex, when Ronnie is nice and doesn't dress like a slut she's pretty. Plus, I can understand why he chose her over me. She's pretty, I'm ugly, she's a girl, I have a penis, she's popular, I'm a loser. Do I really need to say anymore? My phone buzzed again, this time it was Zack. 

Zack- No need to go over there, Astrid and I ran into each other at the park. We're on our date now. 

I smiled, at least they were happy and their love life isn't shit. I barely have a love life anymore. I mean if you count me, my bed, pizza, and music as a love life, then hell yeah, my love life is perfect. But other than that I'm just a loner. 

I picked up my black and purple electric guitar and started to play it. I wrote down random parts that would sound good together for a song. I was actually getting pretty good at it. I smiled, one day maybe I'll be in a band, just like Blink-182 and Green Day. We'll be the best and nothing will stop us. Maybe I'll name the band 'Jack Likes Boobs' Nah, that'd be stupid. I may be in love with a boy, but I still do like boobs. Just saying.

You don't need a love life to be in a band. But one thing I can't get out of my mind is Alex. Alex and that fucking song. Alex and all those promises he made, just tons of false hope. 

Alex and how he let me go. 

Don't You Ever Let Me Go.

A/N-Okay guys, this is technically the end of the book. I left it off on a horrible note because I can. Anyways, instead of doing a separate sequel, and making y'all go through my works to add it and what not, I'm just adding it to the end of this. So next chapter I write, WILL NOT be in high school years, however it will still have all the same characters, obviously. I decided to just put a sequel at the end of this book because 1. It's easier to do. 2. I won't have to make a new cover and come up with a new name for a new sequel. (The Don't You Ever Let Me Go is going to be for book 1 and book 2 okay. Okay) andddd I decided to put a sequel because I will be have a huge-ish time jump, and that plot is a little more off topic than it is here. So, it's all going to be the same book. However, the next chapter I post will say "[Whatever fucking title here] -Chapter 1" because of the sequel, obviously. Okay enjoy sobbing aye. (I'm a horrible person omg)
