After staring at the ceiling for what seemed like hours, watching car headlights pass over his room, Jack had drifted into an unordinary deep sleep. It had become increasingly difficult for the kid to get the necessary sleep he needed. Being in a coma for 5 months gave him all the sleep he felt he ever wanted. But of course, being human, he needed the rest. Though every time he would get close to really falling deep asleep, he'd have a flashback of that cold afternoon and the pain would almost become real again.

Jack would wake up in a cold sweat and searching his body for bullet holes night after night. After realizing his mind was tormenting him again, he would always pull out the guitar and start plucking the strings for new songs. He'd written quite a few since he was discharged from the hospital, the musician in him would never die. No one could take that love for music away from him.

It had been some time since he'd even been on stage, he missed that too. Something about performing and the heat of the lights and noise of the crowd really got his heart pumping, begging for more. If anything, Jack was addicted to the rock n' roll life. The sooner he was back to being that rock star, the happier he'd be. Of course, in high school, Nina went to every single show of his little garage band wearing merch and standing front and center.

'Damn,' He'd often thought to himself. Jack was thinking about her again. How gorgeous she looked with her locks of chestnut pulled to one side on her shoulder and her torn up band t-shirts for her own unique look. The way she'd light up when he'd come on stage, she knew then that he had talent, that he was going to be somebody someday. That's what she always told him anyway.

Dark blue eyes moved around behind closed lids as he dreamed of that precious little gem. Dreaming about her was a sort of nirvana, putting him in a place of pure peace and tranquility. How he'd managed to go so long without that little brat escaped him, even the times they were broken up, they still managed to hang out and see each other.

"Jack! Wake up, you're taking me to the game remember?" Jack grunted when he felt a weight on his stomach and someone smacking him on the chest. Opening those gorgeous eyes of his, he was able to get a blurry view of his lovely girlfriend looking very annoyed. He glanced at his alarm clock, shit, it was 3pm already. Jack and Nina had skipped school today for a Redwings game in the city that she was looking forward to.

"Wake up!" Her fragile voice snapped him out of falling back asleep as he managed to sit up on his arms and elbows, despite Nina sitting on his waist. The Mercer smiled blissfully when Nina ran her hand through his dark blonde hair, her fingers grazing along his scalp as they went along.

"I'm up…I'm up. You have your car right?" He asked sleepily, rubbing one his eyes as he spoke. This resulted in a snort out of Nina, rolling her sea-grey eyes and a shake of her head. Nudging him in the shoulder with her palm, Nina laughed shortly.

"Of course, idiot. Didn't think I walked here did you?" They were sitting there for a few silent moments just staring at each other after he shook his head with a smile. She was wearing little black denim shorts that hugged her gorgeous thighs, a Redwings jersey that looked a size to big, and a pair of converse sat next to his bed that she had taken off. She was always good about never getting anything dirty.

"What? Is there something on my face?" Reaching up to touch her cheek, Jack instead grabbed that wrist and wrapped his other arm firmly around her waist and yanked her down to lay on his chest. Erupting in a bit of a squeal, Nina struggled at first but then settled once he gave her that look she couldn't resist.

"No…You look beautiful today, Nini," Nini, that was her nickname for him, only Jack used it. The other 3 insisted on calling her Tinkerbell because she was so damn tiny. Her porcelain cheeks became tainted with a scarlet blushing stain. Jack was always sweet talking her, making her heart thump painfully in her chest; the way he looked at her always sent shivers down her spine in waves.

"J-jack, we'll catch traffic…" She muttered half-heartedly before her eyes became heavily lidded as his breath hitched before capturing those lips. Eagerly, his hips thrust up in between her legs forcing a soft moan against his lips from her, he always loved the way she moaned in absolute need. They'd done this before countless times, he knew which buttons to push.

"Just once…" He asked against her lips, she was all too quick to answer with a hasty nod. Just like that, Jack flipped their position and brought his weight down onto her body making her writhe beneath him. It didn't take long for the clothes to come off and for him to quickly bury himself within her little body. Nina was always the best damn lay he'd ever had, her body was so beautiful, the insides of her tight core hugged and stroked him in all the right places until he came, even her moans were beautiful. Needless to say, they made it to the hockey game over 30 minutes after it started.

Jack's dream came to a harsh end when he was thrown awake by a car door slamming outside and heels clicking on the sidewalk. Scrambling out of bed to his window, his eyes landed on a dark figure, a woman, coming up the front steps and knocking on the door. Odd, looking at the alarm clock it read just after 3am. Who the fuck would be stopping by at this hour?

Bobby was downstairs first, Angel and Jack were right after him scratching, yawning, and stretching. Bobby was annoyed, to say the least, he needed his beauty sleep and whoever this asshole was knocking on their door this early in the morning was going to get an earful. The knocking continued and rapped quickly on the wood.

"Alright, alright! I'm comin, Asshole! The fuck do you want at this…hour…" Bobby yanked open the door and was at a loss for words after flicking on the porch light. Jack was the first to gasp and stare and Angel was just in stunned silence. The youngest brother was able to be the first to choke something out that wasn't a cry.

"Nina.."
