The City (Joe Sugg/ ThatcherJoe Fanfiction)

Jack- 30K Special

A/N

The time between these mushy moments seems to be shrinking.. 

30K!! This is absolutely amazing! I am going to seem really repetitive because I've already done similar notes like three times but.. I could not have done this without you guys!

You are honestly the BEST readers a girl could ask for xx Your support is what has kept me going for so long and without it I would never have even been writing for this long.

There were so many times when I was ready to give up on this  but I persevered and it has majorly paid off. I love you all sooooooooo much!! 

Enjoy the 30K special! 

P.S. this will be relevant in the near future of The City.. It'll all come into light in the next few chapters.

"You were adopted?" I ask Jack as I sit next to him on the grassy hill, picking the daisies and making them into a chain.

Jack's head hangs low and I hear what seems to be a muffled sob escape his mouth.

"H-he came home drunk last night and told me." 

"Aww Jack." I coo as I pull him into my arms. He's positively devastated. 

Jack always used to tell me how he wished that he was adopted or at least that Graham wasn't his dad. Now that his wish has come true it has also come into light that he did not mean those words.

"He could be lying. You need t-"

"She admitted it." he chokes out, a tear falling from his cheek onto my shirt. "Mum- Claire admitted that they lied to me my whole life."

"Jack, don't you th-"

He pulls out of my arms and turns to face me.

"My whole life is a fucking lie Riley! What is the point in even being here?"

A sob escapes my lips. He never talks this way normally. He's always been unhappy with his life but never to the point of talking this way.

"Please don't talk like that." I beg him as I reach to touch his arm, a comforting action.

He flinches back and looks at my hand in disgust. "Why? It's not like anyone wants me here anyway. My own fucking mother didn't even want me."

I can't help the tears that are now rolling down my cheeks. It really hurts to hear that. Jack is the only good thing in my life and for him to be saying that no one wants him here really cuts deep.

"I want you here!" I exclaim as I reach out again, he squirms further away.

"That's not true. You have to say that so I don't do something stupid." he says darkly.

I wish there was something that I could do to help. When Jack gets in a mood there is no helping. The only person who can talk him out of doing something is himself.

But what if he wasn't enough?

Sorry that this took me so long to upload.. I'm already past 32K. Oops :P

Love you all!! xx
