warning: i think i'm going to start doing a request chapter than my own chapter. i did this chapter because my next chapter has some jack topping so we need to get some sub jack before. enjoy!!

jack sighs as he finishes his third run though of his solo. yes, jack knew he could sing so well, and yes, jack knew he has so much talent, but that's not what hurt him. jack had no self-love. other around him would always say they love him and say they cared about him but he never felt like they truly did.

every time he had a breakdown, he would mention something about being sad in his private story hoping at least one person would ask if he was ok. nobody ever asked if he was actually doing ok and if his mental health was in check. he felt like he was putting up a big billboard saying 'i'm suicidal but none of you really care' and his friends would just ignore it.

tears began to weld in jacks eyes as he exited the stage. "that was good jack. you have break, i want zach and daniel in stage for the car scene." jack nodded his head and quickly rushed out of the backstage area and through the back door. he landed at the main entrance of the school. jack pulled out his phone and dialed his friend's number.

he stood next to the vending machines as the phone rung. "what is it jack. i'm about to go to practice." jack felt a slight wince of pain in his heart when he knew jonah would come help him. "i was just wondering if you could come upstairs." "right now, really jack. if you want to take a smoke break i'm busy and i really can't." jack sighs as a tear cascades down his cheek.

"yeah that's fine," jack says quietly. "everything ok?" "yep" he says in a whisper, his voice sounding broken. jack quickly hangs up the phone and shoves it in his pocket. jack wipes the multiple tears falling down his cheeks. he walks away from the vending machine, on his way to the clock tower. you went to the clock tower to smoke or have sex. jack went up their, after school, to just let himself go. jack climbs the multiple sets of stairs and makes it up to the clock tower.

he walks into the small room made for the operator of the clock. jack sinks down onto the ground and pulls his knees into his chest. he lets the tears fall slowly as he stares out at the town he loved. jack pulled out his phone and showed his earphones into his ears, hitting the play button on the spotify pop up in his lock screen.

the light tune of sad songs run through his ears as he focused on the small cars passing by. he could see the local church and the elementary school he once went to. jack let himself get lost in the music, feeling the pain get worse and worse, yet somehow feeling better and better.

jack gets startled by a presence sitting down next to him. jack pulls out his headphone, meeting eyes with a faux blonde boy sitting next to him. jack quickly wipes the tears that fell and sniffles lightly. "don't mind me" he says, trying to look past jack to too the view. jack slumped back and tried it make himself look slightly more presentable.

"what brought you up here?" "what?" "well people only come up here it fuck or too skip class, so what's your excuse?" jack rolls his eyes and turns back to the window, while the clock hands slowly ticked by."i'm not up here for anything in specific." corbyn let out a soft chuckle. "bullshit, everyone comes up here for a reason, what's yours?" jack turns to the boy to get a better look at him. he looked like your average fuck boy who skipped class to fuck a random guy in the locker room.

"i was sad. what's yours?" "well i got bored and usually when i come up here there is someone i can talk too. lucky, this ones pretty." jack blushes and looks away from corbyn. "now, why are you sad?" jack shrugs his shoulders. he may know why but the thought of having it say it made his eyes weld up with tears again.

"oh, so you're on of those boys." "excuse me?" "you're one of those boys who claim to be fine, even though deep down they are hurting. you try to hint to your friends that you aren't ok but you never actually admit it. you're to scared that they will blow you off. now they may care sometime but it's your self-love that gets you every time. you are scared to accept any kind of affection because you are scared they will leave as everyone else did. just the thought of someone leaving breaks your heart because you always blame yourself. "

jack looks at him absolutely stunned. "i-um." jack has small tears welding in his eyes, knowing corbyn hit a soft spot. corbyn got everything spot on making him terrified. "hey, buddy, i didn't mean to make you cry." corbyn pulls jack into and hugs and jack happily accepts it. jack quietly cries into corbyns shoulder.

corbyn feels the boys breathing pick up against his chest so he slowly strokes a hand through his hair. all of the emotions he has been holding in for the past week just flooded out onto corbyns shoulder. corbyn pulls out of the hug and smiles lightly, whipping his tears. jack chuckles lightly realizing he just opened up to a complete stranger. "i'm sorry" he whisers. "don't apologize."

"everything has just been so hard this year. my family hates me and i cant do anything about it." "anything in specific?" jack turns to look at the wall in front of him and corbyn. "try an abusive dad who would end your life if he found out you were gay, or how about a bipolar mom who tries her best to support her family even when she can get out of bed."

"corbyn nods and lets jacks head fall onto his shoulder. "it will get better, i promise." jack nods his head as the lets more tears fall. "just never hold it in, always let out because holding it in only makes you feel more, or in some cases, feel less." jack nods his head as he cries harder.

one year later

"ok keep your eyes closed," corbyn says as he directs jack up the stairs. jack giggles as he partially trips on each step. corbyn wraps his arm tighter around jacks waist as he stumbles up the stairs with him. "ok we're almost there."

"can you at least give me a hint," jack says as he nips his feet on another stair. "just hold your horse's jack avery." jack laughs harder at his sentence. they make it to their destination and corbyn takes out a set of keys. he unlocks the room and makes his way back to jack. he directs jack into the room and closes the door behind him.

"ok, bubba, you can open your eyes." jack takes off the blindfold and peers down at the fairy lights set up around the operations room of the clock tower. corbyn has his computer set up with a disney movie playing, with bags of store-brand popcorn. corbyn had a fuzzy blanket set on the ground with an air matress underneath them.

jack widen his eyes in surprise and held a hand over his mouth. he places down his backpack and walks slowly around the room. "my mom was able to talk to some people and they let me set all this up for our one-year anniversary. it took a lot but we can be here until tomorrow morning. as long as we don't vandalize anything and we get out of here by eight o'clock tomorrow morning." jack stayed quiet as the stared at the masterpiece in front of him.

corbyn began to get scared, thinking jack didn't like it. "do you not like it" corbyn questions, toying with the band on his sweatpants. jack takes the sleave of corbyns sweatshirt, he stole, and wipes the small tear falling down his cheek. jack quickly jumps up onto corbyns arms, wrapping his legs around corbyns waist and his arms around corbyns neck.

"i love it" he whispers as corbyn laughs and wraps his arms around jack waist. "thank god." corbyn walks over to the air mattress and softly places jack down against the soft blanket. corbyn leaves soft kisses down jacks neck sucking lighly to leave sweet hickeys.

"ok, slow down pretty boy." corbyn lauchs and pulls away from jack. he rolls off of the boy and grabs his computer, placing it on jacks side of the mattress. jack turns to the computer and corbyn wraps his arm around jacks waist. the night was perfect.

jack and cobryn cuddled as they watched the disney movies, seeing the town lighs just outisde of the clock tower. they met here and now, they shared one of their best moments together. "i love you more than words can describe, pumpkin." "i love you to infinity."
