Disclaimer: The song 'What Becomes Of The Broken Hearted' doesn't belong to me I just borrowed it for this.
"Jack what are you doing" he asked
"Why Jacob what does it look like I'm doing?" he asked mumbling he's words a little
"It looks like your drunk, now get down from there" he replied
"Why?" he asked sitting down with his legs over the edge of the stage as music started to play in the background
"Jack" he replied
"Hey folks I'm gonna sing a little number here, it basically tops off the week I'm having" he announced to the crowded room
He started to sing
As I walk the land of broken dreams
I have visions of many things
But happiness is just an illusion
Filled with sadness and confusion
What becomes of the broken hearted
Who had love that's now departed
I know I've got to find
Some kind of peace of mind
maybe
"Get up here Jacob, join the fun" he said
He wasn't amused at the idea one bit
Fruits of love grow all around
But for me they come a tumbling down
Everyday heartaches grow a little stronger
I can't stand this pain much longer
I walk in shadows, searching for life
Home but alone, no comfort in sight
Hoping and praying for someone who cares
Always moving and going away
"Ya bet ya it is take it from me, going away is a big mistake" he said
What becomes of the broken hearted
Who had love that's now departed
I know I've got to find
Some kind of peace of mind
Help me please
"We all need that, I'm telling ya" Jack said
Jacob smiled, but not so much as to let Jack see that he found his comment a little funny, then thought to himself yeah Jack your right there we all need help to listen to you sing.
I'm searching though I don't succeed
For someone's love there's a growing need
All is lost there's now place for beginning
All that's left is an unhappy ending
"There's never a happy ending" Jack said
Now what becomes of the broken hearted
Who had love that's now departed
I know I've got to find
Some kind of peace of mind
I'll be searching everyday
Just to find someone to care
I'll be looking everyday
I know I'm gonna find away
Nothing's gonna stop me now
I'll find away some how
He let the rest of the song play out without singing to it, as it finished he spoke "I'll find a way Sam" before placing the microphone back on its stand and trying to get back to his feet again. After a little more persuasion Jacob managed to talk him into getting down off the stage, with his help of cause and sitting down to talk to him.
"What the hell is going on Jack?" he asked
"I'm having the time of my life, that's what's going on" he replied
"How much have you had? he ask
"Five, six, maybe more" Jack replied
"Come on I'll take you home to sleep it off" he said
"I'm not going home" he replied slurring his words again
"The base then" he said
"Not there either" he replied
"Well your not staying here" Jacob said
"Yes I am" Jack said
"No your not" Jacob replied
"I am" Jack said trying to order another beer
"What is wrong with you?" Jacob asked "I mean no one has seen you since you spoke to Sam four days ago, you haven't stepped foot on the base, you haven't returned any of Sam's calls" he continued
"Me, try everyone else" Jack replied
"What about them?" Jacob asked
"They don't remember any of it, or him, what happened, I'm the only one who remembers what it was like" he replied
"What, what was like?" he asked
"Dam it Jake, just leave it OK, I'm not doing this now, the whole talk to a shrink thing, doesn't do much for me so just back off" he said raising his voice angrily enough that it court the attention of people sat on near by tables. "I'm outta here, see ya around and have a nice life" he continued as he headed towards the door
"Jack wait, I'll come with you, your not in a fit state" he shouted but was not heard due to a sudden blast of music so he grabbed his jacket and proceeded to follow him outside
