"This video that has being posted on the internet just hours ago was taken earlier today," said the reporter, as the screen showed the 101 dancing earlier. "It has picks the most recent wave of public disturbances. The elusive 101 has claimed responsible of this morning's attack; police have been tracking this-" The door opened and in came Jack.
He closed the door and made his way to the stairs.

"Not so fast, Jack!" Lexi stood up from the couch with her hands on her hips. Jack stopped on his tracks and looked back at his mother who stood there looking at him angrily. "Come here, we need to talk."

Jack sighed and walked over to her; he knew his mother was furious with him. "I can't believe you, dinner was an hour ago," she said.

"I'm sorry mother, but the bus was late," that was Jack's excuse. "I'm here so just chil."

Lexi frowned, "I know where you've been, it's all over the news; so don't stand there and lie to my face. Do you realize that you could have been arrested?"

"It wasn't a big deal, you have no idea what you're talking about," Jack said.

"You have got to take responsibility for your life, Jack. You can't follow the 101 forever, those people are criminals," Lexi let out a breath. "You know what? I can't take this anymore, this has got to stop, now." She turned around to leave.

"No!" Jack exclaimed. "The 101 is the only family I have left-" Lexi cut him off.

"Jack! Don't be ridicules. The only family you have left are me and your sister. Before your father died I promised him I would take care of you so you wouldn't have to live your life here." Jack groaned, now she was bringing his father up in the conversation/argument. "But you wouldn't let me, instead you skipped school, you're out all night; God only knows what you're doing." Lexi sighed. "I can't do this. You know that I have a job promotion in Canada, we were supposed to be moving next year but things have changed; your sister and I've been talking, you'll be leaving without me."

Jack gasped, "You're sending me to Ontario? You can't-" again, Lexi cut him off.

"I've already made up my mind, you're living on Wednesday so you have four days to pack your things," with that, she left.

Jack growled and ran up to his room.

Jack went into his room and slammed the door shut. He didn't even want to go. He didn't want to leave Brian, Tracy. Oh Tracy! How is he going to explain this to her?

He needed to get away. He packed some of his clothes, took his blue hoodie and went out of the window.

He strolled down the streets and tried to call the crew but they were offline. He called Brian. "Brian! Pick up-"

B-Hello

J-Brian, oh thank God! I need your help

B-What now?

J-I need a place to stay, can I come over?

B-I wish that was possible.

J-What do you mean?

B-Grandpa grounded me, he told me that I won't be having any friends over that's why I canceled my meeting with Drake, sorry.

J-*Sigh* it's okay

B-Wait! Did you get in trouble with your mother again?

J-Sort off...look I'll explain everything tomorrow

Jack ended the call; now where was he going to go? He came to the end of the street. There was a club at the end of the road that he had been there many times.
