It was clear that Jack had hurt Brook, but I was sure it went both ways.

Jack's POV
I woke up with someone's head on my chest, and my head throbbing. I could barely think, my head hurt so bad. It took almost all my effort to look down and see it was Sonny laying on me. That's when I remembered.

My fight with Brooklyn. Probably the reason for my head to hurt as much as it did. But I wasn't really mad anymore. I felt like I deserved it, to be honest. I remembered telling Sonny I wanted him to stay while I fell asleep, and I vaguely remembered telling him not to go when he got up to leave at one point.

I tried to sit up, but as soon as I did, a sharp pain went through my head and I laid back down. Sonny cuddled further into my chest. I didn't know how to feel about that. I was supposed to be dating Brook, even though we were currently in a fight. At the same time, though, there was this completely adorable human being laying on me at the moment.

Before I could think about this anymore, I needed to take care of the pounding in my head. I sat up, slowly this time, and slid Sonny off of my chest, careful not to wake him up. I made my way to the bathroom and took some pain killers.

I started to walk towards the stairs, but paused in front of Brook's room. The thought crossed my mind to go in and cuddle him until I fell back asleep, but the pounding still in my head reminded me how that turned out last time.

I walked downstairs to see Randy talking and cuddling in the living room. When they saw me, they immediately went quiet.

"Hey, guys?" came out of my mouth as more of a question.

"Hey, Jack. You okay?" Andy asked gently.

"No, not really," I said truthfully.

"Come here," Rye said, opening his arms up. I walked over and laid down across both of their laps. Andy's hands went immediately to my hair as Rye rubbed my back up and down.

"What happened to your head, Jacky?" Andy asked, voice as soft as ever.

"Umm..." I trailed off. I didn't want to answer. I didn't want them to think of either of us - me or Brooklyn - differently. I didn't want to seem weak, but I also didn't want them to be mad at Brook.

"Tell us, Jack," Rye said sternly, making me answer right away.

"Brooklyn happened," I mumbled.

"Brooklyn hurt you?" Andy asked, shock completely present in his voice. I nodded slowly.

"Brooklyn fucking did that?" Rye yelled, jumping up from the couch.

"Yeah, but it's not a big deal. He said it was an accident. He was just trying to get me away from him because he thought I was messing with his feelings or something, I don't really know. But anyways, don't yell at him about it. And if you do, wait until he wakes up, please," I tried to explain.

"Fine," Rye rolled his eyes, sitting back down next to Andy again.

"Why was Sonny in your room, Jack?" Andy questioned, trying to change the subject.

"I don't remember exactly what happened, but he helped fix my head, and then we both somehow ended up asleep. Wait! How did you know that?" I asked.

"We went into your room to check on you and saw," Rye answered.

"Oh, okay."

"Did you want him to sleep in there with you?" Geez. Andy and his questions.

"It's complicated," I mumbled, looking to the floor.

"How so?" Rye asked.

"I didn't not want him to sleep in there. For sure. And when I woke up and saw him there, it felt, weird. I don't really know. Almost like butterflies."

"Do you like Sonny?" Andy questioned.

"I can't like Sonny!"

"Why not?" Andy asked. Again.

"I'm. Dating. Brooklyn. At least, I think I am. I'm not sure, really where we're at. But either way, I love Brook still."

"That doesn't answer Andy's question, though," Rye said.

"How so?" I asked. "He asked why I can't like Sonny. That is why."

"No. The question before that. Do you like Sonny?" Rye clarified.

"I... ummm..." At that moment Sonny walked in and my face went bright red, so I hid my face in the blanket on Andy's lap.

"Hey, guys, what's up?" Sonny asked through a yawn. The way he asked it, I knew he hadn't heard any of our conversation.

"Not much!" I responded before either of the other two could. Even if I did like Sonny - which I DIDN'T - I didn't want him to find out from Randy. Plus, I was dating Brook.

"Brook still asleep?" I asked.

"Think so. Hey, how's your head?" he asked, seeming to genuinely care.

"Hurts like hell. I took some pain killers after I woke up. Hopefully they'll kick in soon."

"Aww I'm sorry. I'm gonna make a tea. Any of you want one?" Sonny asked all three of us.

"We both have some. Thanks, though," Andy answered for him and Rye.

"Jack?" Sonny questioned.

"Sure. Why not?" I replied.

We continued on talking about random things while Sonny made the tea. Once he was done, he brought it over and set his down, handing mine to me.

"Thanks, mate," I said, sitting up off of Rye and Andy's laps. Sonny came over and sat on the opposite side of me.

"How'd you guys sleep?" Sonny asked.

"Amazing. I mean I was with the cutest boy in the world, so why wouldn't I?" Rye said.

"Excuse me. No I was with the cutest boy in the world." Andy countered. Me and Sonny both fake gagged at them as they kissed - just a quick peck, though.

Then they all looked at me like I was missing something. Oh yeah, I hadn't answered Sonny's question yet.

"Oh, ummm, I slept pretty good I guess," I said through a blush.

"Sonny?" Andy and Rye both questioned, huge grins on their faces, like they enjoyed making me feel like this, which they probably did.

"Pretty good," he smiled, looking at me. I leaned my head on his shoulder, trying to avoid eye contact. I internally scolded my stomach for flipping when he laid his head on top of mine. I was dating Brook, I couldn't be feeling like this.
