Jack's POV:
To say that I was in shock would be the understatement of the century. Emotions swam through my mind; fear, guilt, anger. "Uh?" I asked.
"Jackson I was so worried about you. I didn't realize the party was tonight." He walked over and hugged me.
Immediately my body tensed up, "I'm sorry." I didn't know if he expected me to return the hug or not so I kept my hands at my sides.
He let go of me and turned to face North's mom, "I'm so sorry about all this." She nodded and smiled sweetly before returning to the kitchen, "Jack go get your stuff we need to go home."
Suddenly Aster got defensive, "OI? Why does he need to leave?" He placed a hand protectively on my shoulder. Fear clouded my mind one again; I sure as hell was going to get it for that comment. I shrugged my shoulders and walked up the steps to get my bag. Sandy ran after me to help.
Normal POV:
Aster stood with his hands curled into fists as he waited for his answer.
Adrien stood with his arms folded and had a smug grin plastered onto his face. He spoke slowly, "Well I have to go on a business trip for the weekend and Jackson needs to watch his brothers."
Seeing right through his lie, Aster let out a low growl. North placed a hand in his friends shoulder signaling him to back off.
However, Aster just shook it off, keeping his glare fixed right at Adrien. The tension in the room was so thick it felt like a ticking time bomb ready to explode at any moment.
The minutes felt like hours until Jack returned with his bag in his hand and his head hung low. Sandy stood behind him, so quiet and innocent no one noticed his presence.
"Jack say goodbye. I'll wait for you in the jeep." Adrien grabbed his bag from his hand and walked out of the house.
Aster was mumbling curses that would make even the worst drunken sailors mouths cringe.
Ignoring it Jacks head rose, "Thank you for inviting me North I had a lot of fun."
North smiled sadly, "I'm glad you came man. You should come over again, you're welcome to whenever you want."
Sandy tugged at his sleeve and gave him a hug. When they pulled away, he signed to Jack, "We will talk tomorrow. Ok?"
He simply nodded turned and walked out of the house, unable to look Aster in the eyes. That was the last time they saw the Jack they knew and loved.
Aster knew too much and Adrien knew it.
