So here's the next chapter! I really enjoyed writing this one (not that I don't enjoy writing all my chapters) so I hope you enjoy it. BTW, sorry for all the typos you're gonna find. I did all my editing and everything then my computer derped and erases all my editing. So I tried to re do it but I was a little frustrated so it's probably is far from perfect. Sorry.

Anyways...

As you can probably tell I'll be updating a lot more often now. But I'm not really one to work with schedules so you'll just have to wait and see when the next one comes out (¬‿¬ )

I really do hope you're enjoying my story, is it getting boring, am I moving to slow (are my many typos getting in the way of your reading)? Let me know in the comments. I'm writing for you guys so I want you guys to enjoy it. If you have any ideas let me know (maybe I'll use em and give you credit)

So ya, thanks for reading and comment if you want.

Stay Rad ヽ(o^―^o)ﾉ

I decided not to mention anything about Aster. Actually I decided not to say much at all. Neither of us said anything. We walked back in silence and got back on the bike in silence. The whole ride was ridden in silence. Like routine my arms were around his waist and my forehead leaning against his back. I could hear his teeth grinding and I looked up a little to see his jaw clenching and unclenching. He was definitely nervous. I squeezed him a little tighter and I felt his body loosen a little.

"Stop worrying Jack" I said quietly.

We pulled down a small neighbourhood street lined with cute little houses like the ones you see in the movies. All with nicely cut lawns and decks in the front, some with old people sitting on chairs and others with children's bike propped up against bannisters.

We drove until he slowed down in front of a nice blue house with a big tree in the front yard. The garden was nicely taken care of and was filled with brightly coloured flowers and big leafy plants. Everything just looked a lot brighter than dull old Berk. Why would anybody want to leave all of this for my crumby town. Even though we had stopped Jack still stayed seated.

"Hey Jack, this your house?" I asked

He kept is eyes glued to the ground.

"Jack!" I said a little louder. His eyes snapped up. "C'mon, let's go in"

"Hiccup, I don't want you" I said, his eyes falling back to the asphalt.

"Well luck for you, you don't have to. We're going in together" I replied.

"Hiccup, I really can't. I left off with them so badly and I haven't seen them forever. You just don't get it" he snapped.

My eyes widened and I felt a little bit of anger in me. "I don't understand? Me? Jack I know more than anyone else what it means to not see someone for a while, at least you can come home and see them! Jack, do you know what I would give if I could just walk home one day and have my mom waiting for me at the kitchen table. But she wont she never will. I will never get to come home and me welcomed with a hug or even a smile. Sure, you're dad made a mistake, at least he want you to come home. At least behind that door he's not secretly plotting five million different ways to fix you. So-" I could feel my throat tightening but I wasn't going to let my voice crack "So please jack, for me, go in there and see your family." I finished off, softer than I had meant too. I'm pretty sure I never told him about my mom but it's not like he didn't already know. I'm sure he guessed it and even if he didn't, I'm sure Astrid told him by now.

Jack looked up at me a little stunned. His lips formed a perfect line and be blinked a few times before he nodded slightly and climbed off the bike.

Slowly and steadily we made our way to his front door. He knocked lightly and no time was wasted before the door was swung open to revile a beaming Mary.

"Jack!" She shouted at us then turned to the inside of the house and shouted again "Daddy, it's Jack!" She turned around again happily and hopped up and down a little.

"Mummy's out right now, she's buying some food for dinner" She stopped, "You're staying for dinner, right? "

Jack bit his lip and looked down at her, I don't think I can, I have to get Hic-"

"Hiccup can stay too" she interrupted.

"Mary, that's not the point. Hiccup need to be home soon and I have to take him there" He told her

"Oh, Jack please" She whined then turned to me "Please tell Jack to stay for dinner"

"Mary, you can't just-"

"Tell him" She begged, pulling my arms down, "Please, Hiccup" I couldn't help but smile. He was so lucky to have people who wanted him around so much. "Of course Jack and I would love to stay for dinner" I told her just as another voice was added to our conversation.

"Well, I'm glad to hear that" My eyes followed the deep Russian voice to a man that matched is voice exactly. He was tall with a Santa like beard and two dark bushy eyebrows framing a pair of piecing blue eyes just like Jack's.

"Hello, friend of Jack" He smiled brightly, just like Jack's.

His eyes softened when they landed on Jack.

"H-hi Dad" Jack whispered meekly.

"Son" Was all the his dad answered him with before pulling him into a huge bear hug.

Finally, he put him down and then just took a few steps back and looked at him. "It's only been a few months but you already look so different, eh" He said.

Jacks nervous face slowly morphed into a grin identical to his dads. He probably could have been a spitting image of Jack if he didn't have all that facial hair. I kinda of hope Jack doesn't grow a beard like that. He's too skinny.

Mary pulled on my sleeve and I looked down, "how about we give them a minute" she mouthed. I nodded and followed her as she led the way down the hall and into the rest of the house.

We entered into her kitchen and I awkwardly stood there as she hopped up onto the counter and grabbed an apple from a fruit basket beside her. "You can take a seat you know" she said obviously

"Huh, oh, uh ya" I stuttered and took a seat at on one the wooden chairs around the set table.

"So, when did you and Jack meet?" Mary asked, trying to make conversation.

"we work in the same car repair shop" I answered casually.

"What? Jack working with cars!?" she laughed "Jack can hardly drive with out putting everyone else around him in danger!" Well, I'll keep that in mind next time we're going anywhere together. I'll be sure to take the wheel.

"Oh, well he actually wasn't that bad. At first he was but he learns really fast" I explained.

"well duh, because he like you"

"what! No! That has nothing to do with any of this and we've already put it out that we were best friends. I'm straight anyways" I sputtered. Why is it that little kids think that when anyone does anything it's because one of the two likes the other? There is something called friendship you know.

"You're straight?" She giggled

"Yes, yes I am" I glared at her.

"Well, you have nice hair for a straight guy" my glare faltered and turned into more of a playful scowl.

"Well, thanks I guess"

"No problem, Hiccup" she replied "what's with the name Hiccup anyways?"

"Oh, uh, It's actually just a nick name, but everyone just calls me it. It's just one of those things ya know" I answered

"well then what's your real name" Nosey kid aren't you.

"If you must know, my name is Hayden"

"That's a good name, why don't people just call you that."

"I already told you, Hiccup is just a nickname that stuck" I said, deciding to leave out the part about how I was called Hiccup because Hiccup basically means mistake or mess-up.

"Whatever" she waved her hand, "I like Hiccup, it suites you" What's that supposed to mean?

As our conversation faded away Jack and his dad came walking in, laughing about something.

"Well Hiccup, Good on you for actually teaching my boy something about cars. Better than I have ever done" He laughed. I smiled back.

"Oh it was nothing really. He's a pretty fast learner" I was kind of odd how I was so confortable around Jack's whole family when I was still awkward around my own dad.

"I've been waiting long time for Jack to get a good friend like you" he said sincerely. I felt my face heat up a little.

"Daad" Jack groaned "Don't get all mushy"

"I'm not. I'm just happy to see that you're happy. No matter who you love"

"Dad no! I already told you, We're friends. He's just my best friend. God, what is everyone confusing it."

"Son, I know. I'm just speaking in general sense"

"Oh, okay then. Thanks dad" Jack thanked and his dad pulled him into yet another hug.

Alright, kids, once the lady comes home we can get this dinner started"

Just as he said that the door swung open and a woman walked in. She had short brown hair and brown eyes. Although I'm sure at one time, Jack had brown hair like his mother; I think Mary took most after her mother. They had the same round face and big eyes.

"Jack!" She exclaimed and dropped all the bags in her arms so she could wrap them around her son. "Oh Jack honey look at you" She was started to tear up, "how do you look so grown up already"

His mother was ruffling his hair when her eyes landed on me.

"And who is this handsome boy"

"Not his boyfriend" Jack's dad said in a cough.

"Oh" She stopped for a moment "Oh! Well anyways, who is this lovely boy?"

"Mom, this is Hiccup-"

"his real name is Hayden, he told me!" Mary threw in

"Thanks for the fun fact Mary" Jack said rolling his eyes. "But anyways mom, this is Hiccup, he's my best friend."

I smiled and waved then stuck my hand out to shake. She bypassed my hand and went right for the hug.

"It's nice to see my Jackie making some good friends" She smiled and patted my cheek. Boy it sounds like Jackie's been friends with some real weirdoes.

"Oh and by the way" his mom spoke as she went back to pick up her bags, "My name is Molly and this is North" she introduced, patting North's belly with her free hand.

The dinner table was filled with talking and laughter and just general rowdiness. Jack and Mary would get into a playful fight over the last bread roll and while Molly was trying to stop the two, North would be laughing away at the other end on the table.

The catching up continued when the craziness calmed. His parents would ask him casual questions around Berk and he would answer them with some big long story. Jack was a good storyteller. I loved hearing his answers. Even when I myself was with him during the events, it was so cool to hear it from Jack's point of view. He would just go on and on, only stopping every once in a while to check his phone and text somebody back. Probably Ana

"So Hiccup dear, you have any plans for university?" Molly asked.

I shrugged as I swallowed before I started to speak "Jack and I were just recently speaking about this actually. I told him that I wanted to be an architect"

"Oh an architect?" She repeated

"What's an architect?" Mary blurted out.

'A building designer, dear" North answered.

"So have you got any universities in mind?"

"I was actually planning on coming to school here in Burgess. I already sent in my application, I'm just waiting to see if I've been accepted or not" I told her. She looked genuinely interested.

"Oh that's lovely dear. I'm sure that if you're as smart and you sound that you will get in with no troubles"

"I'm glad you think so. I need any confidence I can get right now"

"Oh hun, you'll get in. You seem like an amazing student. And when you do get in you can always come and live here with us, it will save you money and it seems that you and my Jackie here come as a package deal so maybe if you come life with us, you'll bring Jack along with you" She laughed to herself." As long as your parents don't get too jealous that we're stealing you away from them" I inwardly scoffed. I'd like to see the day that my dad got jealous that I was living with another family. I'm sure we're welcome it. He'd offer to buy them a summerhouse in return for them keeping me after university too.

"well maybe if I get in, Jack and I will talk about it."

"I really hope you do" She smiled at me before continuing to eat her dinner.

I looked around to see such a happy family. North was wolfing down his food like the giant he was and Mary was sitting next to him cheering him on as she casually scraped her mushrooms onto his plate. Jack was sitting next to her, his head down, looking at his phone presumably. I sat between Jack and his mother. On the other side of me, Molly was enjoying to sights just as much us I was.

"I really love my family" I told me. Gah! Why can't you be my mother? Well not my mother. I didn't ever want to replace my mother, she was perfect, But I do wish Molly was my legal guardian.

The meal was done and the dishes were being put into the sink. I, along with Mary were sitting on the couch. Her favourite show was on and said she needed someone to watch it with. Apparently the rest of the family knew better that to be around her when that hour came around. Sadly I didn't know about it so I was the one dragged into watch the new episode of Justin time. Which in all honesty wasn't so bad.

The rest of the family sat in chairs on the other side of the sofa. Talking quietly.

Suddenly Jack's phone rang. We all looked over at him and He put up one finger and walked out of the room.

Around ten minutes later he came back in and motioned for his mom and dad to follow him back out of the room. I tried to catch his eye but he seemed to float right over me.

"what was that all about?" Mary asked quietly.

"I have no idea" I answered. I was feeling a little nervous. What happened?

Eventually Jack came back with his parents, still muttering to each other as they walked in. He nodded at them and North patted his shoulder.

"Hey Hiccup, can I talk to you for a moment?" He asked me but didn't really look at me. Now I was really nervous. I moved Mary from where she had fallen asleep on my lap and stood up, I walked over to where Jack was wringing his hands.

He ushered me up the stairs and into what I was guessing was his old bedroom. Posters of those guardian books covered his blue walls. I took a seat on his bed with match blue bedding.

"Jack what's wrong?"

"Uh nothing. Well it's something but I wouldn't say it's wrong or anything. I just have to tell you something" He babbled on. Just say it will ya, Jack.

"Okay so I've been thinking a lot and today really showed me something. I kind of knew that it was always there a little bit but the ride here this morning made it more clear that this is the right thing to do"

"Jack, just get to the point please!" I said a little aggravated. I wasn't wanted to know what was up.

"Okay well Hiccup, you're my best friend and I really like you and everything. I'm so glad I met you and I really don't ever want to lose you. But, Hiccup I just have to tell you that- that I want to move back to Burgess. I-I mean I'm moving back to Brugess"

Silence. My heart stopped.

"but Jack-"

"I'm sorry Hiccup. You're the one who told me that family in the most important and that I should jump at the chance that they want me back"

I tried to speak but nothing came out.

"and Aster and I are even getting on well together again" He said happily

"You and- but how-" Then the imaged of Jack constantly on his phone came back to me. And the phone call. This was all Aster's fault. "oh" There was so much more I wanted to say. Like how he couldn't get back with Aster because he was a dick and how I needed Jack back in Berk and also how I didn't know what I was going to do without Jack. I cant even remember what I did before I had him at work with me everything. Nothing came out.

Finally I took a deep breath and quietly said "I can't believe I thought you were the best thing that's ever happened to me. Jack you've just ruined my life" At that I stood up in a huff and stormed out. I didn't even stop to say good bye to anyone. I just left.

'Wait Hiccup, I'll take you home at least!" He yelled after me.

"I'll just take the damn charter bus" I mumbled but loud enough that he could hear me. And I know he did because I heard him stop running after me.

I took another deep breath and prepared my self for the five our bus ride back to hell. And the hunt I was going to have to go on just to find the damn bus station. Even with my phone GPS in hand I knew this was going to take a while.

God, Fuck you Jack.

Fuck you for making me depend on you.

Fuck you for making me trust you.

Fuck you for leaving me behind.

God, why am I so upset? He's just another city boy. He came for a bit and then realized how late our town was and left. He didn't really care that much. I really couldn't care this much either.
