Reflections and Photographs: Jack

Talking to deaf ears? Perhaps but still talking, lol

Explaining Jack is a little difficult. Why he did what he did? the best way I can explain with out giving too much away is:

"Have you ever done something that you thought you had to do or you were expecting a certain response and were 100% sure you would get if you did just that? Then when things don't go your way, you are so set that you can't go back? You feel so embarrassed for what you did that you just can't manage to go back?

That is what Jack was going through, he was 100% sure Dustin would go after him, there was not one bit of doubt in his mind. Yes, he did love him, but he was young, damaged, hurt, he felt horrible seeing Dustin on the bed because he blamed himself for putting him there. MAYBE SPOILER highlight if you want to read- The moment Dustin went to the car instead of Jack, Jack felt hurt, he felt betrayed and scared that he had crossed the line Dustin always kept telling him never to cross. It set him off balance because it wasn't the way things should happen. Dustin always went after him, always. 

When Dustin woke up Jack couldn't gather the courage to see him, he was sure Dustin would break up with him. That is why he said "He knows were to find me." He expected and irate Dustin to go looking for him to demand answers, or to fix things, and if he didn't show up then Jack new for sure he'd crossed that line and it was time to move on. To Jack it was natural for Dustin to simply follow.

May not be too much of the spoiler but a lot of this is slowly revealed through out the story and I'm not sure what has been revealed yet. -

Jack didn't know Dustin had lost his memory, to him Dustin not looking for him was a clear sign Dustin didn't want to know him anymore.
