jack woke up, remembering the night before, their bathroom floor covered in blood, their face puffy, covered in tears, their arms covered in scars. They got up and walked into their bathroom turning on some cold water and wiping their face off, they looked at the floor, then their arms, they put bandages around their scars, they put arm warmers on to hide the bandages, they walked out of the bathroom, grabbing a oversized shirt and a dark long sleeve shirt, they grabbed a Lovejoy T-shirt with a black shirt for underneath, they changed into the outfit, they changed into black baggy ripped jeans. They grabbed their black mask pulling it on, grabbing their bag, throwing their wallet, phone and pocket knife inside, they pulled on a beanie and put on their glasses. Grabbing their keys and leaving their apartment, no one had known what happened the night prior, they pulled the door too, and locked it, they speed walked down the hallway pull their headphones on, and playing Lovejoy on full blast.

Jack felt their phone buzz halfway to the coffee shop, they pulled it out to see Mark had DMed them, 'Hey! I wanted to ask if you were available tonight to do rehearsals, no it isn't a set up, I'm just wondering if you are,' Jack started typing glancing up to make sure they don't get caught in the crowd, 'I wasn't planning it my co-workers called in sick today so I have to work until one am, I will be tomorrow, I'll be completely free if I don't get visitors' Jack half lied, they fully didn't want to go because they'd see the bandages on their arms, since they had to take off the arm warmers, they thought about it, 'Hey ignore my prior message, I'm coming.' Jack said wanting to just stay calm, 'Alright! Me Joe and Ash will see you tonight!' Mark replied, 'What about Wilbur?' Jack asked a little concerned, 'Oh yeah, this is like a private session, without Wilbur, you can take Wilbur place tonight, that sound good?' Mark DMed back, Jack accidentally ran into someone bumping into them, getting their coffee spilt on them, "Oh my goodness I'm so sorry-" Jack started before being cut off, "It's not your fault I should've watched where I was going- I'm really sorry.." the male said, "It's perfectly okay sir, I think it was an accident," Jack said with a smile, "I can buy you a coffee if you want," the male suggested, "your to kind sir I mean it, I just need to get to work," Jack said, "Have a nice day sir!" Jack said their German accent showing through, they run off to the record shop, opening it.

After a few hours Jack had their feet up on the counter, they had been scrolling through Twitter, they had taken a break from working on their song, two people walked in, one about 6'2 and one about 5'9 they walked up to the counter to see Jack drinking monster and reading Twitter, the shorter one cleared his throat, "Uh- oh yes hello how can I help today?" Jack stumbled over their words, they cleared their throat, "I wondered if you had any Lovejoy records, like all four of there releases, and a record player that is themed like their band?" The taller started, "I'm not sure about that second one, I could make one, you would just have to come get it," Jack said scrambling around to find the albums that were signed by everyone including them, they grabbed all four and pulled out a white record player, "I would like to tell you, you do not have to buy the Lovejoy record player until I contact you about it being finished, if you choose you don't want it mc I can't just donate it to the band." Jack said looking at the two, the taller one looked confused, "You know the band?" He asked, "Yeah, there like hero's? I bet there going to release an album that isn't Wilbur singing," Jack whispered in a joking way, "But sir those four records will be £70 that's £17.50p each," Jack said waiting for the man to only buy one or two, a James Marriott song came over the sound system since Jack played a bunch of good songs on shuffle, the man handed Jack £80, with a smile on his face, "Sir you gave me ten extra-" Jack started before getting cut off, "So? Keep the change I'm being nice," He said, Jack could tell through is personality it was Wilbur's friend who was alike a brother, "Alright Thomas the tank engine, here you go" Jack said with a smug smirk on their face passing the bag of records over the counter, "Very funny Jack, Bye! Say bye Tubs" Tom whispered nudging the shorter boy, "But I thought Jack was bald, oh this isn't manifold," Jack started to lose it wheezing, "Bye bye!!" He said before leaving the two left, Jack sat down and started painting the record player when the door swung open, Jack wasn't visible from the front of the desk, a few footsteps before a small, "excuse me..?" A little girl said, "Give me a second please," Jack pulled off their gloves, and walked out to the counter and looked around, "down here.." the little girl said, Jack looked down to see a child, "Oh my! Dear where are your parents?" Jack asked jumping over the counter and landing and crouching infront of the little girl, "I lost my mommy.." the girl said, "What's your name sweetheart?" Jack asked grabbing their phone off the counter, "Alice.. Alice Gold.." She said her eyes covered in tears, "And where's your dad?" Jack asked tilting their head, "Papa doesn't like mommy.. he says she's a whore.." the little girl says, Wilbur walked into the record shop, "Come on Alice." He demanded sticking his hand out, she started shaking and shook her head no, she clinged to Jack, Jack saw she had bruises all over her, "William gold. Get your fucking ass out of my shop." Jacks German accent started winning over their adapted British accent, they hide Alice behind them, "I will call the cops, let her choose. She's covered in bruises." Jack said making eye contact with Wilbur, "Listen her mothers doing this-" Wilbur started getting cut off, "I don't like mommy.." the little girl said, "Okay then, so since we have a whiteness, either you or I could adopt her," Jack started thinking, they called 111, "Yes hello I would like to report child abuse, and physical abuse, Yes, no sir it was not me, it's a friend and his daughter, yes sir I know how this works, I've gone to court against my father before, yes sir, any other whiteness?" Jack looks to Wilbur and nods, "Joe, Ash, Mark, and Tom" Wilbur said, Jack repeated it to the police, "Am I sure this isn't for attention, yes sir I am, the bruises are visible on both of them, court dates are tomorrow and Friday. Okay, thank you sir have a good day." Jack said before hanging up, "So you left me for a whore?" Jack turns slowly towards Wilbur looking upset, "I had no choice, she said she would get a group of guys to kill you, I'm sorry.." Wilbur said looking down, Jack turned back to Alice, picking her up, "You seem like a nice person," Alice said, Jack smiled under the mask, "Can I pull this down?" Alice asks tugging at Jacks mask, they nodded, Alice pulled down their mask to see a puffy face, with tears staining their face, "What happened?" Alice asked seeming worried, "Oh it's just your papa dumped me last night," Jack said, Wilbur mumbled something Jack put Alice down for them to go back home, "And Alice! I'm just next door," Jack said with a smile, pulling their mask back up as they walked out, Jacks nice person act had worn off, they switched the open sign to closed, and grabbed their stuff, and grabbed their phone and running to the studio, they saw Wilbur also running down the street, Jack made it inside, Wilbur had gone the opposite way as Jack, Jack rested their hands on their knees catching there breath, "I'm here!" They declared trying to catch their breathe, they stood up straight, "Have you heard from Wil?" Joe asks, "He fucking dumped me yesterday. I saw him today though," Jack said shrugging, "Is he okay? We saw his wife yelling and throwing things at him last night," Joe said strumming his guitar, "Wife..? I hope he signed a prenup. I'm going to tear her to shreds." Jack said popping their knuckles, "Don't kill anyone now," Mark said, "Oh I've got a better plan.. I reported her for child abuse, that poor baby was covered in bruises," Jack said their voice cracking.

Eventually they started rehearsal, starting with sex sells, "You'd think he'd realize.. but he's infatuated with ideas, of possessions and far flung social policies, his daddy works on the council," Jack sang and sang until the good part,
"I've been scared of sleeping with the lights on, know she's not there know she's going to his flattttt a Capricorn oh fuck that they say sex sells I know that," jack kept singing until the second best part. "Red wine and club bands.. viagra pills on the nightstand, how's it feel, No.. how's it feel to be so loved how's it feel to be so loved yet so aloneeeeeee" Jack hit a high note never hitting that high of a note before, crying a bit they kept singing trying not to ball their eyes out.

After rehearsals, Jack got their things together "Thank you guys for inviting me, have a good night," Jack said waving bye and stepping out not expecting Wilbur's 'Girlfriend' to be there, she grabbed Jacks arm, they instinctively twisted her forearm, "You put one more finger on me I will break them all off and Mail them to your father. I will snap your arm like a twig." Jack said letting go and putting in their headphones and listening to Lovejoy on full blast the woman followed Jack all the way home. Jack started to fell unsafe so they decided to FaceTime Niki, "Hey Niki!" Jack said happily, "Hey, what happened?" Niki asked she could see Jack was uncomfortable and had been crying, "Oh just rehearsals that's all," Jack said, they started motioning they were being followed and Niki took the hint, "Are you wearing headphones?" "Yeah, I am actually" Jack said trying to act normal like there talking about the record shop business, "Why did you call me not Wilbur?" Niki asks, "Yeah no we broke up a while ago," Jack said recalling the night before, "Okay well don't go home, go to the police station," Niki said, "Can you tell me how to get to the park?" Jack asks, putting emphasis on that they don't know where it is, "Yeah turn left up here, then a right then your at the park!" Niki said happily, Jack happily went to the police station and walked up to the desk, "Hello there, how can we help you Ma'am?" He greeted Jack, they didn't even care about the misgendering, "there was a woman and a group of men following me out of a studio for music, I think the group is still out there," Jack said almost full on sobbing, "Calm down, go sit down, I'll send a female officer to get their descriptions, I can deal with this group." The man said stepping outside then back inside with the woman and the men, "Stephanie, I thought you changed, counts of child abuse too?" He asks holding her in handcuffs, "Your free to go home ma'am, go tell her kiddo to pack her bag," the man said, "Can I actually adopt her?" Jack asks, "Do you have someone to support you financially?" He asked, "I own a record shop, I get most the profit, my employees get a good paycheck," Jack admitted the man nodded, "Then bring her by the station, and maybe her 'dad' aka Stephanie's boyfriend Mr.Gold," Jack nodded, "Thank you sir, have a goodnight officer" Jack said waving and going home, Jack sprinted home they ran straight up the stairs past Wilbur and Alice.
