Chapter 2 - Aster
"This video that has being posted on the internet just hours ago was taken earlier today," said the reporter, as the screen showed the 101 dancing earlier. "It has picks the most recent wave of public disturbances. The elusive 101 has claimed responsible of this morning's attack; police have been tracking this-" The door opened and in came Jack.
He closed the door and made his way to the stairs.
"Not so fast, Jack!" Lexi stood up from the couch with her hands on her hips. Jack stopped on his tracks and looked back at his mother who stood there looking at him angrily. "Come here, we need to talk."
Jack sighed and walked over to her; he knew his mother was furious with him. "I can't believe you, dinner was an hour ago," she said.
"I'm sorry mother, but the bus was late," that was Jack's excuse. "I'm here so just chil."
Lexi frowned, "I know where you've been, it's all over the news; so don't stand there and lie to my face. Do you realize that you could have been arrested?"
"It wasn't a big deal, you have no idea what you're talking about," Jack said.
"You have got to take responsibility for your life, Jack. You can't follow the 101 forever, those people are criminals," Lexi let out a breath. "You know what? I can't take this anymore, this has got to stop, now." She turned around to leave.
"No!" Jack exclaimed. "The 101 is the only family I have left-" Lexi cut him off.
"Jack! Don't be ridicules. The only family you have left are me and your sister. Before your father died I promised him I would take care of you so you wouldn't have to live your life here." Jack groaned, now she was bringing his father up in the conversation/argument. "But you wouldn't let me, instead you skipped school, you're out all night; God only knows what you're doing." Lexi sighed. "I can't do this. You know that I have a job promotion in Canada, we were supposed to be moving next year but things have changed; your sister and I've been talking, you'll be leaving without me."
Jack gasped, "You're sending me to Ontario? You can't-" again, Lexi cut him off.
"I've already made up my mind, you're living on Wednesday so you have four days to pack your things," with that, she left.
Jack growled and ran up to his room.

Jack went into his room and slammed the door shut. He didn't even want to go. He didn't want to leave Brian, Tracy. Oh Tracy! How is he going to explain this to her?
He needed to get away. He packed some of his clothes, took his blue hoodie and went out of the window.
He strolled down the streets and tried to call the crew but they were offline. He called Brian. "Brian! Pick up-"
B-Hello
J-Brian, oh thank God! I need your help
B-What now?
J-I need a place to stay, can I come over?
B-I wish that was possible.
J-What do you mean?
B-Grandpa grounded me, he told me that I won't be having any friends over that's why I canceled my meeting with Drake, sorry.
J-*Sigh* it's okay
B-Wait! Did you get in trouble with your mother again?
J-Sort off...look I'll explain everything tomorrow
Jack ended the call; now where was he going to go? He came to the end of the street. There was a club at the end of the road that he had been there many times.
He went into the club and saw many people were dancing.
"Yo Robbie!" Jack called the bartender.
"Yo J," Robbie said as he and Jack shook hands. "Ready to do some damage tonight."
"Huh you know it man! Can you take my bag?" Jack gave his bag to him.
"I got it," Robbie put his bag down. "It's crazy out there."
"Yeah it is," agreed Jack.
Robbie went back to his work while Jack looked on at the people dancing. Some were dancing wildly.
"Look who's all grown up now?" Jack turned around and saw his Uncle.
"Aster! What are you doing here?" He hugged him tightly which made Aster chuckled.
"What's up, mate?"
"I thought you were in New York," said Jack.
"Oh yeah I was, but I came back here to get the rest of my stuff," Aster said. "Guess what."
"What?"
"Me and Tooth are going on tour," he said smirking.
"What? You're kidding," said Jack making Aster chuckle. "That is unreal. Well you better remember me when you get all famous and stuff."
"What? Are you kidding me?" said Aster. "I remember you running around in the neighbourhood in diapers."
"Oh that's really embarrassing."
"Okay seriously, what's going on with you and Lexi?" Asked Aster.
Jack frowned, "She called you."
"No she didn't call me," said Aster. "I came by to see you and see told me you took off. She's flipping out."
"Yeah but did she tell you that she's sending me away to-" Aster cut him out. Jack was getting tired of people interrupting him.
"She didn't know what else to do with you. She tried to look out for you just like your dad and everybody else on the block look out for me."
"So you're siding with her."
"No I'm not."
"You know what? I don't need to explain this, I'm out," said Jack, walking away.
"Look, chill out," Aster said stopping Jack from leaving. "I think she's right, you need to get your life together."
"I'm not going!"
"Okay how about this? You go and stay there for like a year, and if you don't skip school and be good, you can come back here." Jack stayed silent. "Look, running away isn't the best choice."
"I can't leave Brian and Tracy and also the 101," said Jack, sadly.
"Tracy, isn't that your girlfriend?" Asked Aster.
"Yeah".
"Um I think you should change your mind about her," said Aster.
"Why?" Asked Jack.
"Because she's not being faithful to you."
"What makes you say that?" Asked Jack. "You don't even know her."
Aster nodded his head in agreement. "Maybe I don't, but I do know what she looks like and I knew it was her when I saw her here."
"She's here?"
Aster looked behind Jack.
Jack frowned and turned around. His eyes widened in suprise. Sitting there was is girlfriend kissing another guy, and what made him more shocked is that, that guy was Pitch.
"What the hell?!" He nearly screamed. Jack tried to go there but Aster stopped him.
"Don't, I don't want you making a scene," said Aster. "Jack please, do this for me, you owe me one."
Jack sighed, he did owed Aster for what he did a year ago. He didn't wanna go but what he just saw now really changed his mind. "Fine," he gave in.
"Yes!" Aster cheered. "You're gonna like it there."
"I'm sure I'm not going to," Jack said frowning.
Going to Ontario is really going to be a pain, thought Jack.
"Come let's go, so I can tell Lexi about our deal," said Aster pulling Jack with him.
"I thought she agreed," said Jack.
Aster let out a laugh, "Just let me handle it."
"Wait," Jack stopped and turned around.
"Where are you going?"
"Just need to do something before I go," Jack said.
He walked to where Tracy was snogging Pitch. Pitch was pinning her against the wall. The way they kissed made him feel sick to the stomach. He didn't know why he even liked her.
He pulled Pitch away from her and punched him square on the nose.
Tracy's eyes widen seeing Jack.
"J-Jack?"
"Save it, we're done," he said. "And I quit."
Pitch got up, his nose was half bleeding. "No one leaves the 101."
"Well someone is about to," said Jack glaring at him. "I can't believe you both would do this to me! And I also can't believe I fell for a tramp like you," he glared at Tracy.
Pitch walked angrily to Jack, "She's not-" Jack punched him again, now his nose was really broken.
He looked up at Tracy who was close to crying, he was holding himself back to just go and hit her, it's what she deserves.
He turned back and walked to Aster, ignoring all those looks he was getting from the people.
He walked out of the club with Aster following behind him.
He felt like he didn't belong here.
He hoped where he was going would be a better place than this.
