CHAPTER 2: NEW THINGS COME WHEN OLD ONES LEAVE

JACK'S POV

My friends surprised me by ditching school and comming to see me off * who am I kidding they hardly ever went to school they were like me and loved to skate, well except I went to school.*

The blue emo haircut kid named Tony talked first. "I'm gonna miss you Jack."

"I'll miss all you guys to." I replied doing me and Tony's secret handshake. (we each had one.)

"You gotta tell us bout the lady's there." Aaron winked he had a emo haircut too but dyed it red. (Aaron's first name was Toby but he hated it because he was twins with Tony they both had blue eyes and were 5'8.)

I couldn't help but chuckle a little. "I will man I promise.

"You better and make sure to text us when you land or whenever you can." Ricki spoke pushing Aaron aside. (he looked more like a skater/rocker with his long chest length black hair and green eyes he was 5'9 and because I've known him since kindergarten he was like a bother to me.) Ricki took me totally off guard and was starting to tear up he pulled me into a bear hug and patted my back a couple of times before releasing his grip on me. no words were needed in our goodbyes I just gave him the I know I'll miss you to probably the most look.

"Jack come on its time to go. my mother said walking up behind me.

I just nodded and said one last goodbye to my friends and boarded our private jet.

RICKI'S POV

I couldn't believe my bestfriend (well jack was more of a brother to me.) was moving. I've known him since I was a little kid like 5. Jack and me always talked about going to college together and becoming pro skateboarders guess that wont happen now. I was never one to cry even whenever I wiped out on my skateboard I never shed a tear and trust me I broke a lot of bones in my 15 years of life. My dad called me heartless because I didn't cry when my passed away and we got into a lot of fights because of it. I remember the worst one it was the night of my mom's funeral

FLASHBACK

STILL RICKI'S POV

"I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU DIDN'T CRY AT YOUR MOM'S FUNERAL YOUR HEARTLESS AND A POOR EXCUSE FOR A HUMAN BEING YOUR NO LONGER MY SON!" My dad yelled.

"WELL FINE MAKES ME HAPPIER I DIDN'T WANT YOU AS MY FATHER YOUR NOTHING BUT A STUPID DRUNK!" I shouted at him venom in every single word.

"GO TO YOUR ROOM NOW!" My dad screamed right in my face.

I looked him square in the eye and hollered back at him "I'LL DO YOU ONE BETTER I'LL GET OUT OF THE HOUSE!" With that I turned around and sprinted up the steps taking two at a time. Reaching my room I slammed the door shut and locked it.

"HEY DON'T BE SLAMMING ANY OF MY DAMN DOORS!" My dad bellowed running up the stairscase.

I grabbed my phone and called the only person who would be there for me he always had been.

*RING... RING... RING ...*

"pick up man come on I need you." I whispered to myself.

* "HEY IT'S JACK SORRY I COULDN'T REACH MY PHONE LEAVE A MESSAGE AFTER THE BEEP LATER SKATER." *

"Hey Jack its Ricki. I'm. packing my stuff and staying at your house for a few days I can't take this prison with my dad... well Henry since to him I'm no longer his son well I'll tell all about it when I'm there peace." I ended all my messages with anyone with peace it was a habbit.

"RICKI YOU BETTER UNLOCK THIS DOOR AND OPEN IT UP OR I'LL BREAK IT DOWN.'' My dad screamed.

"HOLD ON." I replied louder then what I ment to. (I was texting Jack.)

I was in the middle of the text when my dad busted down the door with one forceful kick.

"DAD WHAT THE..." I started to say.

FLASHBACK CONTINUES

JACK'S POV

I was riding my skateboard along the side of the road that lead to Ricki's house. He told me he had to go to his mom's funeral this morning but should be around 2:30 pm it was now 2:45 pm when I approached his small two floor living space with yellow paint and blue shutters that didn't match. I bound up the 2 steps and onto his cement patio and knocked on the old beat up metal screen door but no one answered. Even though Henry's red rusted pickup truck was there I found it normal that he didn't answer he was probably sleeping or out for a walk and Ricki was most likely skateboarding. I was about to jump back on my skateboard when I heard a loud crashing sound come from inside the building. I flung the door open but closed it quietly just in case I needed to hide.

"DAD WHAT THE..." I heard Ricki shout from upstairs.

I bolted up the staircase taking two at a time when I reached the top and rounded the corner I saw that Ricki's door had been busted down clear off it's hinges with a big deep kick mark in the middle.

"NO DAD DON'T..." Ricki screamed terrified.

I glanced into the room and saw Ricki on his bed in the curled into a ball his father hovered over him while pinning him down with one hand the other in the air About to punch his only son. "MR. JOHNSTONE DON'T." I yelled at the top of my lungs taking a small step towards them

Henry and Ricki both looked at me with looks on their face's that I've never seen before. Henry's was of evil pure hatred for his own flesh and blood. Ricki had fear in his eyes as he coward on his mattress.

"JACK!" Ricki exclaimed

"Make me jack this heartless punk deserves what he's about to get." Henry spat then his arm came down to strike Ricki in the right side.

Some how I was able to run over to Henry and catch his fist just ce

centimeters from Ricki's rib cage. "Henry leave please I'll talk to Ricki."

He nodded got up off Ricki and left the room.

"Ricki tell me what the hell happened between you and your dad?" I asked him

"Well it started like this..." Ricki spoke sadly.
