Chapter 15: More Trouble
Jack P.O.V
Shortly after I walked Kristoff home, I walked over to my place. I'm pretty sure my mom was worried sick about me and it was already nightfall. I didn't know that Kristoff lived on the other side of town. I looked at my phone. It was 7:00 already and pretty dark. I walked over to the porch of my house and picked inside the window. I saw my mom sitting in the living room, in the dark.
I slowly opened the door and tip toed inside. I heard the lamp click on and my mother looked at me. "Where were you?"
"I told you mom I was at Elsa's neighbor's house,"
"Jack how can you go to someone's place and I don't know the person,"
"Mom calm down it's not like I was at some stranger's house, the neighbor's were nice people,"
Soon my mom just broke down and started crying. I went beside her and moved her to the couch to sit down. "Mom what's wrong?" She looked at me and put her hand inside her pocket and took out and opened enveloped addressed to me. "Mom what's this?"
"Read it," I nodded my head as I opened the letter. It was from my father.
My Dear Son,
I'm writing this letter to tell you how sorry I am for leaving you and your sister. I was a messed up man back down and didn't know my own way. I've spent years trying to regain control of my life. Five years after I left you and your mother I was now a businessman of a that had many shops owned. I had wrote millions of letters to your mother about how I changed and wanted to see my son but she would never let me. I'm writing this letter to you to say I want a second chance at life and I want your forgiveness. I mailed a form to fight custody over you and Emma, so you guys can have a stable home and a good life with me and Macy.
Love Your Father
What the hell? My father think that he can come into this house and just gain custody over me after all these years. Who did he think he was? "Mom when did you get this letter?"
She didn't answer me. "Mom when did you get this letter?" I repeated in a much firmer tone.
"Two weeks ago,"
"Two weeks ago and you never told me,"
"I didn't want to stress you out Jack this was your final year in highschool and I wanted you to have a good year,"
"Mom I don't care about that you are my priority,"
"I know Jack I was just trying to protect you," she said to me and started crying again. I sat down next to her and hugged her. "Your father called he wanted you to come over his place in Pittsburg this Thanksgiving,"
"Did you agreed?"
"No I told him to talk to you about it,"
"Mom go to bed we can talk about this tomorrow," She nodded her head and got up.
"I'm sorry Jack," she mumbled to me as she walked upstair.
I layed down on the couch and rest my head on the pillow. I looked at the letter and put it on the coffee table. It was never your fault mom, it was never your fault.
The next day…
JackP.O.V
The next morning I woke up with a pain in my neck. I was still on the living room couch.
My mom came inside the room with a breakfast platter. "Here Jack it's your favorite,"
"Did you put the chocolate syrup on the waffles?" I asked.
"Yes now get dressed the bus will be here shortly,"
"Mom can I ride with Hiccup today?"
"Sure Jack I'll call his mom," I smiled as I started eating breakfast. After I finished, I put my plate in the sink and walked upstairs to take a shower. Shortly after I went to my bedroom and decided on a red t-shirt and black jeans. I put on my black and white shoes and grabbed my black coat. I grabbed my bookbag and walked downstairs. My mom came out the kitchen and handed the phone towards me. "It's Hiccup,"
"Hey dude you wanted me to pick you up,"
"Yea,"
"Okay I'm leaving the house right now,"
I handed the phone to mom. "Hiccup will be here shortly so I'm going to wait on the porch," I put the letter in my bookbag and walked outside.
5 minutes later Hiccup's truck pulled up. I ran over and jumped into the passenger's side of the car. "Okay ready to go?"
"Yea,"
15 minutes later me and Hiccup reached the school parking lot but before I could get out he locked the door. "What the, Hiccup?"
"What's the problem?"
"What you mean?"
"What's the problem the only time you have your mom call my mom is when you have a problem?"
"Alright fine my dad sent me this letter," I dug in my bookbag and handed Hiccup the letter. "He wants custody over me and wants me to visit him this thanksgiving in Pittsburg,"
"That lousy mother-,"
"Hey that's my dad you are talking about,"
"Some dad he was,"
"What should I do Hiccup?"
"Jack to be honest I want you to stay you are my best friend and I can't lose my friend over some lousy father but I think you should visit him and see what he is about," Hiccup sighed. "But I should tell you the system don't play when it comes to children but I think it's a little too late for him to fight custody over you,"
"Yea I'm going to turn 18 in January so it's too late for him,"
"But you should visit him, like my mother said every boy should have a good relationship with his father,"
"Ok but how am I going to tell Elsa,"
"Tell Elsa when…the time is right when it will really affect your future,"
"Thanks Hiccup," Hiccup unlocked the car and we both climbed out the vechile. "No problem,"
"Can you keep this a secret?"
"Sure,"
Anna P.O.V
I walked down the hall to my locker. I saw Ariel there waiting for me. I walked over to her. "I heard you broke up with Hans,"
"I did," I said as I opened my locker and took my books out. "Well Hans is mad and he's looking for you,"
"I know," I mumbled. Pretty soon Eric walked over to us. "Hey Anna I heard you broke up with Hans,"
"Omg yes okay now stop pestering me," Eric laughed. He soon turned to Ariel and I saw the blush grow on Ariel's face. "Hey Ariel,"
"Hey," she said in a squeaky voice.
"How are you?"
"I'm good,"
"Okay I'll see you around," And pretty soon he walked away. I turned to Ariel. "You need to get over your shyness if you want him to be your boyfriend,"
"It's not like he's into me he was just being nice besides he's dating that girl Vannesa,"
"Oh he's totally into you,"
Sorry I ended there. My mom is making me help her with the garden. I might post another story tomorrow.
If you were Hiccup what advice would you give Jack?
And what else should Hiccup have said to Jack?
