Closing Time
AN: This is my first fanfic so please go easy, constructive criticism is appreciated and I hope you enjoy the story!
Jack looked at his nearly empty class, before bringing it to his lips and finishing it off. He signaled to the bartender that he wanted another. The bartender somewhat wearily nodded, but warned that it would soon be last call.
Closing time
Open all the doors and let you out into the world
Closing time
Turn all of the lights on over every boy and every girl
Jack had come to the bar to get away from the trouble at home, away from Rose. He was far too drunk to remember how many rounds he had had, but he supposed that it didn't really matter.
"Last call pal." The bartender called to Jack.
Jack finished his drink, nodded and started to get up, stumbling as he did so.
Closing time
One last call for alcohol so finish your whiskey or beer
Closing time
You don't have to go home but you can't stay here
The barman could see that Jack was in rough shape and would clearly not be able to make it home by himself in his drunken state.
"Son, do you have someone to come and collect you?" He asked Jack.
Jack considered the question, immediately he thought of Rose, but he knew that she wouldn't be too happy to see him. Not after their fight, not after the things that were said.
I know who I want to take me home
I know who I want to take me home
I know who I want to take me home
Take me home
He accused Rose of cheating on him with her boss, Mr. Andrews. He couldn't help but feel suspicious of her late nights at the office, or be teeming with jealousy when she talked about how much fun she has at work with him.
Closing time
Time for you to go out to the places you will be from
Closing time
This room won't be open till your brothers or your sisters come
Of course once he sobered up and took a minute to think about things, he would realize that things were perfectly innocent, Rose loved him. Only him. But Jack was impulsive and after a rough day at work, he decided to call her out over his suspicions. Then he stormed out, leaving her crying and confused.
So gather up your jackets, move it to the exits
I hope you have found a friend
Closing time
Every new beginning comes from some other beginning's end, yeah
The bell above the door rang, signaling someone entering and breaking Jack's thoughts.
"Sorry young lady, we are just closing up." The barman told the young lady at the entrance. "And you son, do you have someone to take you home?" He asked again.
I know who I want to take me home
I know who I want to take me home
I know who I want to take me home
Take me home
Jack mumbled something and turned to the door. He saw Rose, his Rose. She extended a hand out to him and nodded her head toward the door.
Closing time
Time for you to go out to the places you will be from
He hurried over to where she stood, taking her hand in his and kissing her passionately.
I know who I want to take me home
I know who I want to take me home
I know who I want to take me home
Take me home
"Rose I'm so sorry." His words slurring in this drunken, yet sincere apology.
She silenced him by placing two fingers over his lips. "I know you are and we can talk about this in the morning. For now lets just get out of here."
"Take me home?" asked Jack. "Always" She replied.
I know who I want to take me home
I know who I want to take me home
I know who I want to take me home
Take me home
