AN: Based on the song by Augustana, loved it so much. Highly recommend listening to it. While you read or not.

Maybe a little OOC, but it felt right.

I own nothing, but all mistakes are mine.

Oneshot, I don't expect to write more unless I get a request.

He had spent his whole life on the streets of California. Los Angeles, San Jose, even San Francisco.

Then he's gotten that special card. Death. So correct, but he wasn't telling about just how dead he was.

He'd always dreamed of Boston. He'd dreamed of having a new life there. He wanted to leave his past behind. He wanted a change in the weather.

The other horsemen had once asked what he wanted out of this life. And while he'd known that they didn't know him, that they didn't care, he thought about it.

"I want to go to Boston. Where no one knows my name." He had said after a few minute gap.

"But there are so many places you could go. Why Boston?" Henley had asked.

"I grew up in California, I only came to New York a few months ago. Hitched a ride on a bus. Besides, I hear it's nice in the summer, and I would love some snow." He'd laughed.

"So you want to go to Boston and start a new life?" Merritt asked, surprising the two as he hadn't been part of their conversation before.

"You don't know me Merritt. I'm allowed to want change sometimes, right? Well I'm tired of living off of nothing. I just want to go somewhere where I'm not a street rat." Jack flopped onto the living room couch, Henley and Merritt both taking seats across from him.

"You're not a street rat Jack. You're a horseman now. You don't need a city to start over, you have us." Daniel said as he emerged from the kitchen where he had been hiding and listening.

Jack sighed softly and a smile crept over his face.

"I know." He flopped over onto his side.

"But I still want to go to Boston."
