At a little past 3 am, Jack found himself speeding down the I-10, silently cursing to himself. What the fuck was he thinking when he asked Faye to move in with him. He should have known himself better than that. Sooner or later that fear of getting closer and more serious with someone would start crawling under his skin like it always did eventually and now was no different.
"Shit!" He hadn't even left Faye a note, he'd just let her sleep peacefully, but it wasn't like he had planned this. He was just going for a ride to clear his head at this less than normal time of day, or rather night. At least that was what he had told himself, but truth turned out differently when he didn't stop going in this direction and it became pretty clear he was simply running. The only things he had managed to have on him were the clothes on his back, his wallet and his car. He'd even been stupid enough to forget his cellphone, or maybe that was subconsciously on purpose. If they couldn't reach him, they couldn't tell him what an asshole he was for just up and leaving like this.
And there it was, looming up in the Evo's headlights. The last road sign that told him he was leaving LA, Faye and even his brother behind with no clue whether he was even coming back at all...

Faye woke to an empty bed, which was strange because she was normally the first one awake, with a furrowed brow she pushed herself from the bed, the empty part next to her was cold, which ment Jack had been awake for a while. Her feet padded on the soft carpet as she made her way downstaries, but it was empty, a quick look outside assured her the car was also gone.
"Were are you Jack?" She questioned herself, she headed back upstaries to grab her phone when she saw his on the bedside table, maybe he had just nipped to the shop, or gone to see his brother.
She scrolled through her contacts, finding Brians and hit dial....

It was still early in the morning and Brian was laying in bed. The first rays of sun had woken him up but he just hadn't gotten himself to get up yet. Mia was looking too peaceful sleeping next to him in her underwear and a tanktop with her hair sprawled out across the pillow. The phone in his pants that hung on a chair nearby ripped him out of his morning pleasure. He rubbed his face and rolled outof bed to grab it. While he looked at the screen and rubbed his nuts he frowned. Why was faye calling this early? "Hey Faye, what's up?" He answered.

Faye bit her lip, maybe she was jumping the gun calling Brian, Jack could have simply gone to the shop, but then she saw his wallet, left in the same place he had put it the night before, when his voice came over the other side of the phone she let out a breath.
"Jack isnt with you is he"She questioned with a raised brow, already feeling stupid for asking such a question.

Brian let her question sink in for a moment still trying to wake up. "Huh? No, the only other person in my bedroom is Mia and I hope it's going to stay this way." He turned around to see his sleeping beauty better. "Why?"

"Im probally jumping the gun here, but he never leaves without leaving a note"she stated.

Never leaves without leaving a note? "Are we talking about my brother here?" He chuckled. "Probably ran out of smokes." Brian jawned. "Don't worry, Faye. Go back to sleep. He'll be back when you wake up."

Faye sighed nodding her head, she bit the inside of her lip and turned, "Your more then likely right, im sorry i woke you Bri"She closed her eyes and fell back on the bed.
"Ill talk to you guys later" She hung up the phone and attempted to fall back to sleep but to no avail, she sat thinking over and over again, untill finally she must have fallen to sleep, she woke with a start, hand over her heart, her hand instantly went to the bed at her side, but once again it was empty, with a shake of a head she forced down the lump in her throat, telling herself that he was just downstaries, but she knew it was a lie, when she headed down she pulled open the front door, the only car in the driveway was hers.
Their neighbour popped outside the door, and she gave him a tight smile. "He left this morning hunny, sped out of here like a bat out of hell" Faye raised a brow stepping closer to him.
"What time?"She questioned knowing that their neighbour worked funny hours, the neighbour thought for a moment before answering
"It would have been about 3'o'clock" Faye let out a breath and smiled her thanks before heading back inside, he left at 3, it was now close to 11, where the hell was he, she picked up her one and decided this time to text Brian, just incase like her he had fallen back to sleep.
'Still not bk, neighbour said he went out at 3 this morn"

By now Brian was doing his 'chores'. He was pushing an electric lawn mower around the yard with little motivation so the phone gave him a welcome break. "Still not, left when?" He knitted his brow. 3 am was a bit of an odd time even for Jack. "Either he's gotten a call from somebody or...uh, I don't know." Firts he jumped to the worst conclusion: Braga. His mood instantly got shitty and he told himself that Jack would have called him. The second thing that came to mind was that he was pulling a 'Jack' meaning dissapearing for no apparent reason at least not to anybody other than him. "So he left no note but you can't reach him...have you tried Rome maybe?" Brian kicked the lawn mower. "Has he been drinking last night? Or did he get any calls?"

Faye sighed shaking her head, answering No to each and every question, she hadnt tried Rome, in fact he hadnt even crossed her mind, with a shake of her head she let out a laugh.
'Ill do that now...i dnt think hes gonna be there thoug' She replied, she just had a feeling, she didnt know where Jack had gone, but he wasnt any where near, she just had a feeling.

"So you're saying he just left without a word?" Brian scratched his head. "Hang on, I'll come over." He hung up and went up to the house leaving the disliked lawnmower behind. there he grabbed his keys and bottle of water and hit the road. 10 minutes later he rang the door bell of his former home.

Faye had been pacing the living room since Brian had hun up, it felt like an eternity before he rang the bell, she pulled open the door giving him a tight smile.
"Hey"She stepped aside letting him gain entrance to his old home.
"You hung up before i could answer"she gave a dry laugh "but yea, theres nothing, hes not took his phone wallet anything" She moved to the living room table, picking up his packet of cigaretts "Even left these"

Brian took the pack of Lucky strikes from her hand. "That's odd." He looked around the house, checked the back door and windows to see whether anybody broke in and maybe forced his brother to leave. Upstairs on the window sill he saw Jack's phone and wallett. He browse through it and shook his head. "He won't get far like this. What about his clothes?" brian sat down on the unmade bed and knitted his brow. "It doesn't look like anybody forced him to leave and he won't get far without money. He's probably back tonight." Brian sighed. It was hard to deny that this was actually very typical. He looked up at Faye's worried expression and decided to tell her. He reached for Faye's hand and urged her to sit down. "Maybe I should tell you something about Jack. You've probably noticed that he's not your average broing guy. He's pretty unconventional but that also means that other people don't always understand what he does or why he does it." He paused searching her face.

Faye followed him upstaries looking at his phone and wallet she nodded her head, when he sat down on the bed and urged her to follow him she did so, but nothing he was saying was making her feel any better.
"So he does this often"she questioned with a raised brow and ran a hand through her hair "Back tonight"she shook her head and threw Brian a small smile.
"I guess im over reacting"

Even though there was really no reason Brian felt like defending Jack. "No, not often. He's just done it before. Every now and then. he used to 'go' more when he was still living with my parents." Brian shrugged. "Don't ask me to explain this. I don't get it either. I'm just trying to say that there's nothing to worry about. With any other person leaving without a note, phone or wallett I'd be worried but not Jack." He looked at the wallett again. The cash was gone if there ever was any. He rubbed her shoulder. "Who knows, maybe he's out buying you a dress or ...a puppy."

"I cant pretend i dont get it, cus i do"She licked her suddenly dry lips "Iv thought about upping and leaving more then once"She swallowed.
"But i loved him, i wouldnt do that to him"Running a hand over her face she let out a frustrated sigh "He just best come back soon so i can kick his ass"

Brian was surprised. "You thought about leaving him? I thought you two get along so well."
He raised his hands when she said she loved Jack. "Now, when he comes back don't tell him that. That might just freak him out....or not, I don't know."
He rubbed her arm gently. "He didn't up and leave, who would leave you? Jack is no idiot!"

Faye laughed "I already did"She stated "The day Lee came back"She shook her head, scoffing softly "He actually surprised me by saying it back"she licked her lips and turned to face Brian, he really was a great guy, more the once he had comforted her and offered her a word of advice.
"I dont do commitment very well, last guy i moved in with used me as a punch bag, me and Jack are doing good, i was just waiting for it to turn south"

"Oh goodness, Faye. it doesn't have to turn south. jack#s not going to ever touch you. I promise." About his confession to her Brian was even more suprised. Jack didn't talk about feelings. He didn't tell Brian or their parents that he loved them. But Brian didn't want to bring that up. "See, he said it back, that's...great." He tried for a smile even though it dawn on him that his brother might have surprised himself a little with these words.
