You are my light // Jacklyn ff

*time skip to weekend (cause I'm lazy)*

The rest of the week I was walking around scared cause Brook hadn't done anything. He just acted the same way he always does but I know that he's going to get me back for that slap. I'm safe till monday cause it's weekend and I'm at home with my parents.

Brook is at home with his family and his girlfriend, which makes me feel kinda sad. He's gonna spend two days with her and I'm gonna spend two days without him. I've known him for a week and I already feel like he's my best friend. I know I'm gonna miss him when my parents decide to move again.

"Jack darling, dinner is ready." my mum tells me and I go and sit at the dinner table.

"Have you made any friends, hunny?" mum asks me. "Yes, I've made a few friends." I reply not wanting to talk about it more. "Well tell us about them." My father says. Ugh, do I really have to? I just wanna eat my dinner, play my guitar and watch some Netflix. Not have a whole conversation about school and friends and stuff.

"There's Brook, Sonny, Rye and Andy. They're all good lads and very funny." I say with a neutral tone. "No need to be excited." My father says.

"Well if you hadn't sent me to that boarding school you would have already known how my week had gone." I say under my breath cause I don't even dare to say it out loud.

I know my parents want what's best for me but sending your child to a boarding school is something different.

After dinner I go to my room and start to play some guitar, I think I'm gonna take this with me when I go back. I start playing a song which I have been working on for months, I just need the notes for the bridge and the lyrics for the song.

I've never been good at lyrics, I guess I just haven't had enough life experiences to write deep song lyrics.

Suddenly my phone rings and I see that it's already 1 am, who is calling me at this time of night. "This is Jack Duff." I say. I just hear sobbing on the other end and someone who is trying to speak but it's inaudible.

"I'm sorry who is this?" I ask.

"J-Jack? Can you please h-help m-me?" I hear someone say. "Brook is that you?" I ask. "Yes, Jacky. Please don't hang u-up." He says in between sobs.

"Oh Brooki, are you alright? What's wrong? Talk to me." "She... she broke u-up w-with me." He says starting to cry really loud. I don't know what to do, I'm not good at emotions. "Shhhh, it's alright. Do you wanna tell me why?" I ask.

Do you even ask someone why their girlfriend broke up with them. Ugh, I don't know what to do and I can't handle this shit! "Sh-she said that she f-found someone n-new." He says almost inaudible. Oh no, I just wanna hug him right now but he's in England and I'm in Ireland.

"Brooki, what do you want me to do?" I ask. "Can you sing?" He asks and without answering I just grab my guitar and start singing I'm so tired by Troye Sivan and Lauv. When I'm done I wanna ask Brook if he's alright but I hear light snoring coming from the other end so I hang up. I'm gonna give that boy such a long and tight hug when I see him again...

*at school*

I arrived early in the morning and went straight to my room. On Monday the school starts later because all the kids just got back from their family's.

While I'm unpacking I look out the window and see Brooklyn standing in his room. It looks like he's zoned out but I can see that there's someone with him. I think it's Sonny as the person is really tall and has black, curly hair.

Sonny hugs Brooklyn and I can see that Brook's crying in his chest. It gives me a weird feeling seeing them together, it kinda feels like jealousy but why would I be jealous of them? Of Sonny...?

In maths I can see that Brook is zoned out, he isn't concentrated and keeps looking down. I wanna talk to him but what do I say. Or do I say nothing and just hug him, or does he want to be left alone. It breaks my heart to see him like this, he used to be happy and hyperactive.

But now he doesn't even smile when someone makes a joke, he always laughed at other peoples jokes. Even if they weren't funny, he would laugh at them to make the person who told the joke feel better.

I try to focus on making the maths homework but all I can think about is Brook and how miserable he must be. Tonight I'm gonna cheer him up, I don't know how yet but I will cheer him up. Even if it means I won't get any sleep tonight.

I want to hear his laugh again and see his beautiful smile again which I could look at my whole life. I want him to be happy and feel loved and I want him to have no worries. How am I going to do it? I don't know yet. But I know that I will make him happier.
