Five years passed and Freddie had grown into a handsome young man, he was sixteen now and so much had happened. Hannah had now transitioned into a man and went by the name of Matty and even though both Freddie and Moira were dismissive at first, they came round and Matty was still a brilliant parent to his children whom Freddie adored. He also had a good relationship with Jack and it was clear they were bosom buddies but Freddie barely saw Mollie now as she was living with her father in Canada where Matty's eldest lived. Matty had another daughter who was named Holly and she lived at Butlers with Moira Matty, Isaac and Freddie, Holly was everything like her late auntie; she was funny, artistic and kind and she was only a small child. Freddie also developed a love for music and got an expensive guitar of his mum for his sixteenth while Matty taught him different songs. Moira saw alot of John in Freddie and was still quite overprotective of him.

Freddie headed out with Jack to the Wool pack, where Aaron and Roberts adoptive daughter Destiny was waiting. She was the same age as Freddie and Jack but was taller and very pretty, Jack was enamored with her.

"Put your eyes back in your head mate." Freddie teased as they walked in, earning a jab from Jack in the process. Debbie was sitting in the woolpack with Sarah and they rolled their eyes as Jack attempted to flirt with Destiny. Matty came in with Holly and sat himself at the bar, he smiled at Freddie and called him over. Matty was very protective of Freddie and often told Freddie stories about John, like Freddie, Matty looked like John and they both knew it.

"Where's Holly?"

"With Mum, Isaac is staying with Cain and Harriet. He seems to bond with Chloe doesn't he?"

"Yeah I know."

Matty watched his little brother as he drank his coke,

"You know, Im very surprised that Isaac hasn't befriended Sebastian?"

Freddie nodded and sighed,

"They dont like each other. Dont forget Isaac pushed Seb over and broke his arm last year if you remember?"

"Yeah, Cain and Aaron had a right how do you do over that."

"Matty, can I ask you something?"

"Off course, what is it?"

Freddie took a deep breath as he looked at Matty,

"Do you think Mum thinks about Dad sometimes?"

"Im sure she does mate in fact I know she does, why do you think that picture of him and her dressed in eights gear sits on the end table still?"

Freddie smiled at him and stood up,

"Im gonna get Jack, we'll go to David's shop and see if Amba is in. If not Ill come back, Jack's going to see his dad tomorrow and he wont be back till half term holiday ends."

Freddie walked out, mentions of his dad always got to him but yet there was still so much he didn't know.

As Freddie browsed in the shop, He saw Moses Dingle luring about with his step brother Johnny Wood field. Their mothers were married to each other and lived quite a good life in spite of their pasts. Freddie didnt like Charity due to her past treatment of Moira and the fact that she sometimes could say awful things but he liked Vanessa and thought she was funny. Moses and Johnny spotted Freddie and they walked over to him,

"Hello Fred, how are you?"

Freddie smiled at Johnny,

"I'm alright thanks, haven't seen you much Moses."

Moses rolled his eyes, he looked exactly Charity it was hard to digest that they were related. Moses was his cousin Ross's son as were Debbie's two younger children so Moses and Freddie were related somehow. Moses and Freddie had a love hate relationship right back from when they were children, Moses was three years younger than Freddie at thirteen.

"I've been staying with me dad actually not that it was any good mind. All he did was moan all the time."

"Oh right well Im glad your back mate. Oh Congratulations Johnny on getting that art award, you deserved it."

Johnny smiled at him but then Moses grabbed something from the fridge and scowled at Freddie,

"Tell anyone and Ill tell everyone that you hit me." Moses sneered as he grabbed Johnny and Ran out, April Windsor who was an employee at the shop shouted out,

"Oi what are you doing? Come here!"

Freddie sighed heavily and rolled his eyes as he grabbed his bag, bought his stuff and headed back out to see Jack.

When Freddie got home later that night, he picked up his guitar and began singing a song he had written over the summer;

Such a lonely road

A place where there's misery and darkness

Where are you, I need you

I wish you were here with me

Im dying, Im crying

Just help me, come back to me

Oh you are my guiding light

a guarding angel in disguise

Oh you are my saviour

Oh where are you, I need you

Please come back to me

Please Please Please

I need you here

Freddie rubbed his eyes and sunk his head into the guitar crying silent tears.
