It all started with a snapchat// Jacklyn💘

6.

Brooks POV
It's been a few hours since Jack arrived here. We all kinda welcomed him in and then just talked for a while. It got pretty late it was like 6:30 at night so we decided to call a takeaway as none of us could be arsed to cook anything as we were just talking and getting to know more about Jack. Rye, Andy and Mikey all ordered pizza and myself, Jack and Hrvy all ordered nuggets and chips because we are original and plain like that aha. The food eventually arrived and we carried on talking in between eating.

Andy- so Jack when did you first get into music then?
Jack- well before my grandad died, he gave me his guitar and I never really took interest in that because at the time I was only 8. After he died a few days later, that's when I started learning. It was and still is my way of remembering him and still being close to him. Ofc when I was 8 I didnt realise this but now I realise that that guitar was kind of a going away present from him.

Jack smiled, but you could see that inside he was hurt. I went over to him and hugged him and that was soon followed by a group hug when he actually fully produced tears from his gorgeous greeny blue eyes.

Harvey- I'm so sorry to here that but honestly I feel like he would be so so proud of you.
Mikey- yeah definitely. It's cute that the reason you got into music was to maintain his musical memories and to keep that alive within your family.
Brooklyn- that must have taken some guts to tell us considering you have only just met us but he would be proud of you. I agree with Mikey and Harvey on that one. Oo im actually agreeing with them for once.

We all burst into fits of hysterics. Jack looked uncomfortable even between laughs. He looked so overwhelmed and emotional all in one. I just wanted to run up to him and kiss him to make him forget all about his thoughts. A few more hours had passed of us talking, eating and playing a mixture of call of duty and fortnite. Everyone was off to bed and everyone had left the room it now was just me and jack left.

B- you coming?
J- I don't have anywhere to sleep dummy.
B- you are sleeping in my room as it's the only room with a spare bed
J- ah okay then

And with that I showed Jack to our room. We walked in and that when I realised Jack hadn't brought a lot of stuff with him.

B- so I've noticed you haven't brought a lot of clothes with you??
J- Yh that's mostly because one I didn't know how long I was staying here for and two I'm just gonna go out somewhere and buy some new clothes.
B-ah okay. You got anything to where tomorrow?
J- ehh? I have some jeans and I have a t-shirt and ofc boxers and socks but  that's about it.
B- well here I don't want you freezing to death.

I chucked him one of my hoodies. As I said that. He smiled a sincere smile and I melted for the 1000000 time today.

B- oh and also I'll take you to Windsor tomorrow and I'll buy you stuff if you'd like.
J- yeah you can take me, thankyou. But I can get my own stuff.
B- nonono (👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻😉) I'll buy you stuff I insist.
J- thank you babe.

We stayed up watching a movie together until it got to 12:30. Once the film ended we hugged and said goodnight to each other and we got into our own beds. It felt wrong. I was laying awake most of the night and I kept hearing jack tossing and turning. That when we both sighed in unison. He giggled slightly so I turned on the lamp at the side of my bedside table.

B- come here
J- okay

Jack scooted across into my bed. We cuddled up. He was the little spoon I was the big spoon. Now this felt right. I was playing with his hair until he fell asleep eventually I fell asleep and honestly I've never loved anyone or anything more than this little dork called Jack Duff
