---Jack's POV---

Sabrina had walked out of my room and I stand there in shock as I hear what she had to tell me and in that moment I hated myself more than I could ever hate myself or anyone in this world. I hear my phone go off and see a message from Gabbie asking what I was doing and all I can go is throw my phone at the wall across from me and watch my phone break into pieces. Pace in my room alone trying to figure out what I'm going to say to Sabrina. I took my roughly 15 minutes to calm down and think about how I'm going to tell her the truth.

I open my door and walk across I knock on the door but don't hear an answer so I decided to open the door anyway to see if she was just ignoring me but when I walk in all I see is Sabrina and Zach sleeping. Sabrina is smiling in her sleep and I get so angry first at zach and then myself and then I become depressed at the fact that her she is and she finally looks at peace with everything and I'm not the one that made her feel that way, Zach is, Corbyn is, Daniel is, Jonah is, they are the ones who made her feel this way and they had to do it because I was the one who made her feel worse. I told her that I cared about her and then I turn my back her and I could never forgive myself for hurting her.

"Jack what are you doing?" I hear someone ask. I look at where it came from and I see Daniel standing in the doorway.

"Jack, are you okay?" Daniel asked us

"Yeah I'm fine. Why are you asking?" I asked him.

"Because you're crying and and staring at Sabrina and apparently Zach like a creep." He said to me.

"What?" Is all I say as I wipe my hand across my face only to find out that what Daniel said is true and that I have been crying.

"Jack I know you never meant to hurt Sabrina but this time you really messed up and now you're going to have to give her some space ." He told me

"I know that Daniel you don't have to remind me." I told him starting to get angry once more.

"Jack calm down, you're going to wake up Sabrina and Zach and then you're going to have to explain why you're in Sabrina's room in the first place." He said to me

With that I realized that Daniel was right and I needed to calm down and leave before anyone else saw me in here. I sigh one last time and look at Sabrina and brush my hand through my hair and leave the room brushing past Daniels' arm but not in an aggressive manner. I walk back over to my room and close the door. I look at my guitar and grab it and start humming a tune and I start strumming the strings. Before I know it I'm singing Cherry Hill by Russ

Maybe I'm a fool

Maybe I'm a fool for you

Feelin' lonely in this room since I was seventeen

Thought this bottle was supposed to drown my memory

But I'm still swimmin' in your vision and it's temptin' me

But next time that I call I'm hopin' that you answer me

Just as I am about to continue you singing when I see Corbyn standing in my doorway, so I stop the guitar.

"Hey man." I say to him

"Hey, you good?" He asked me

"Yeah, I'm good." I told him

"You always were a bad liar Jack, ever since the day I met you." He told me while walking over and grabbing a nearby chair and sitting down.

"What are you talking about?" I asked him
