A/N: some sadness and serious topics
Brook's POV
Today is the day that I have to break up with Jack. I don't want to but it's essential. Blair brought me aside and said that Jack and I are getting too close. He said that we're not as committed to the band as we are to each other. I don't want to choose between him and music.
I walk up to his room, preparing to wake him up and tell him it's over. He looks so adorable to me and I need to hold him. Instead, I grab his hand and I shake him awake. When he starts to move, I step out of his reach.
"Jack, please wake up for me," I whisper, not wanting this moment to end.
He grunts but nevertheless gets up.
"Yes Brookie?" his raspy morning voice is so cute.
"Um. I think we need to have a serious conversation," I mumble.
He instantly stands up and tells me that we're first going to eat breakfast. I don't think I'll be able to wait that long. We head to the kitchen where everyone is chilling. Harvey's even here because he wanted to take one of his free days with us.
"Hey! Harv," Jack hugs him.
Harvey looks at me and hugs me as well. They boys are all talking about who knows what. Jack joins in while I plead for Jack to hurry so I can blow out my guilt that will never leave me.
"Jack! I'm sorry I can't wait anymore to tell you this. I-I think we n-need to breakup. I'm going to g-go out to grab some food and I hope by then it sinks in," and I walk out.
I make it into the car and I start driving fine. Then I start to think about the things I will never be able to do with him. I sob. I have to pull the car over and just slam on the wheel until I'm left hiccuping with tears on my face. I call Blair.
"I-I did it. I couldn't look at him but it's done Blair."
"Good. Brooklyn, you would have broken his heart even more if you stayed with him. You did him and the band a favor," Blair tells me.
"It h-hurts so much. How do I get the pain to stop?"
"Come over to my apartment for a little. I might have something that will help the pain but it won't take it all away. Okay?"
"Okay."
I start the car and head to Blair's place.
Jack's POV
As soon as he utters those words, I sob. I thought we were doing so well. I thought we were happy with each other. I miss him and he's been gone from the house for 10 minutes. He's not mine. He was everything to me and now he's gone.
I start to fall while Harvey and Andy catch me. I sob into Andy's shirt and he whispers that I'm gonna be okay. I don't believe it. I don't want to believe it. I want to believe in Brookie.
After I cry for a long time, the boys have to guide me upstairs to take a shower. They close their eyes while I wash myself and I get myself dressed. The tried to protest to help me but I tell them that none of them will see me completely naked unless it's Brook and he's gone.
They guide me to my room and I slip under the covers.
"It's gonna hurt major, Jack. You will want to stay in bed but we will get you up everyday. Heartbreak takes time but you thinking about it will just make it worse," Andy tells me.
