When Alan awoke he could tell by the sound and air that he was alone. His mom was probably at her dance class. But Jack? He had no clue.

The party ended at 11. Aaron was hungry and wanted to get more drunk. He wondered what was open at this time. Imogen laughed. Said nothing. What? Aaron was amazed.

Alan was annoyed. He'd barely talked to Imogen, which was fine since they were preparing for the party. It only became annoying once he saw Jack and her talking.
Later on he saw Jack smiling. When Jack caught Alan lookng at him, he looked into his eyes and smiled even more.

Jack and Alan were in the same class. Jack's family moved sophomore year. Imogen entered the next. So she never knew of Jack. Also back then Jack was a stick. Wasn't the shredded, mass of muscle that he is today. So she probably wouldn't recognize him.

No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't write.
In fact trying made it even harder.
One time he had quit his job in order to write full-time. That was the most miserable. For a week he wrote a few paragraphs a day. All of them deemed meaningless garbage by evening's time.
