Seclusion. (Jack Gilinsky)

Chapter 2

Jack POV
Journal entry one: August 10th
I can't believe Alexa doesn't remember at least a little of what happened the Fourth of July party.

FLASHBACK

Alexa and I were in Sam's room while he was passed out drunk in the backyard with a bunch of kids from our school. He told me to watch Alexa, she was going into 9th grade so I did so. We were talking about random things. But I was bored...

"Hey Alexa come on you gotta try this." I said taking out a bag of weed.

"I-I don't really know Jack..." She stuttered.

"One time won't hurt, plus it relaxes you. Try it." I said after taking a hit and passing it to her.

"So I like suck it in and exhale through my mouth?" She asked.

"Yeah exactly, hold it in for a few seconds though." I assured her.

She sucked in, held it in for 3 seconds, then exhaled through her mouth perfectly.

"Nice!" I said. We took turns passing it back and fourth until it was gone. By then Alexa was feeling it but I on the other hand, do this a lot so I wasn't high.

Alexa was giggling like nuts. And I kinda wanted to mess with her.

"What's so funny?" I asked smiling.

"I have a secret." She said.

"Oh do share." I said jokingly. It was probably going to be something stupid since her mind wasn't in the right place. I lied down on the floor looking up at the ceiling before Alexa's body hovered over me.

"Wha-What are you doing?" I asked. Seriously what is she doing.

"I really wanna kiss you..I have for a while but i guess I've had like a boost of confidence or something.." She said.

She started leaning in giggling. I stopped her. Maybe this was a bad idea.

"Alexa stop." I said, not moving.

"Why?" She asked, confused.

"I'm your brother's bestfriend. I'm 16. I'm a senior. You're 14, you're a freshman. You're a baby!!" She was locked on me and hard to get off so I pushed as hard as I could and the back of her head hit the wall. I didn't think she was hurt though.

"You don't know what you're doing." I ended.

She held the back to her head. I didn't realize I pushed that hard. She looked at her hand which was blood stained. Her head was bleeding.She was speechless. I think she beginner to sober up a little.

"I'm not a baby. You can't call me that. My freaking head." She began to cry. I attempted to comfort her.

"Don't freaking touch me! You hurt me." She screamed.

I don't think she just meant her head.

"I'm sorry" I said.

I tried to kiss her forehead but she pushed me off. All of a sudden someone burst through the door. It was a little sobered up Sam. Sam saw Alexa. Sam could tell she was high. Sam was pissed.
"Sam!" Alexa got up and hugged sam, he put her behind his back, away from me.
"WHAT THE FUCK JACK?! I TOLD YOU TO KEEP AN EYE ON HER NOT GET HER HIGH AND TAKE ADVANTAGE OF HER!" He yelled.

"Dude that's not the case calm dow-" I started. He cut me off.

"GET OUT!" He yelled.

"What?!" I asked.

"I SAID GET THE FUCK OUT! NOW. AND DON'T COME BACK!" He screamed. I obeyed this time.

No one's POV

Sam directed Alexa to the other side of the room as he escorted Jack out of the room forcefully. He stood by the door frame as he watched Jack walk down the stairs, out of the house, slamming the door. Sam then rushed towards Alexa who was now laying on the floor and he lifted her head up a little with his hand that soon felt sticky and wet. He winced at the sight of her blood coming from her head.

"What happened Alexa?!" He asked with tears in his eyes.

"He hurt me..." She managed to get out.

Sam rushed Alexa to the hospital and thank God it was only a minor concussion. The Wilikinson parents were out of town as usual, so they never found out anything.

Jack stayed away for a while like Sam told him to. Jack felt bad and did not know what to say to Alexa or Sam or to even ask when he could come back. Alexa hit a certain part in her head where she could not recall the entire night, which Sam told the doctors was for the better. About a week before school started Sam and Alexa were making vines when Jack Johnson asked to come over and said he had Jack Gilinsky with him. Sam hesitantly agreed yet they never talked about the event. It was like forgotten, almost. But Sam knows how Jack works, and he would do anything to protect Alexa.

END OF FLASHBACK

Journey Entry continued:
I just wish there was some way I could go back and change this. Make it nonexistent. But I strongly believe in the logic "everything happens for a reason" I just don't know what the reason is for this.
