Ch 2 // Party Problems

-Jesy POV-

"Mom!" I said walking into the kitchen that morning. "Jack and Jack are having a party tonight...can I go?"

My mom - Giselle Nelson - looked up from her phone. She was always on her stupid phone and only paid attention to me when necessary.

Sadly, I only had her now - my parents were divorced so my dad stayed in Australia while I resided with my mom in Nebraska.

"Sure." She shrugged. "Oh and I have a business meet soon, so I'll be away."

This was not new, I stayed in this big house by myself sometimes unless Gilinsky stayed over. Gilinsky's usually did - his mother understood the situation and didn't want me being alone.

"How long are you gone?" I asked her. I wish she would just stay home and spend time with me - I was in senior year and she didn't bother being involved in my life.

"A week or two." She said looking down at her phone unbothered again. "It's a big meeting."

I didn't respond. She would leave tonight, leave behind some money and think everything would be okay. Sometimes she would call - not often - if I was lucky.

"Well have a safe flight." I said. "I'm heading to school."

She just nodded, not paying the least attention. I sighed and went out to the Jeep my mom bought me for my 17th since Jack texted that he wouldn't be able to pick me up.

As i started the engine, my phone buzzed loudly. It was a text from Brianna.

BriBri: heyy, girl pick me up! lots to talk about, love u.

Me: be there in a sec. love u bish.

I drove over to Brianna and Jacks house and waited outside until she came out. Jack was backing out as I was parked at the curb, he hooted and waved.

Jack smirked, he sported a pair of black ray bans. Well I had to admit that he looked hot in them. He drove away as Brianna hopped in, breaking my thoughts.

"You couldn't go with your brother?" I asked her.

"No." She rolled her eyes. "I have deetz to tell you."

"Oh like the Art project you supposedly have with Sammy." I laughed and drove us to school.

Brianna chuckled. "You have to admit its a good plan...Jack is so oblivious."

I giggled. "Anyways...what's up with you and Wilk? Do tell."

"Okay!" Brianna smiled. "You are no longer looking at a virgin Mary."

I gasped. "Did you? With Sammy? Get out I'm dying!"

She nodded. "I'm inlove!"

I laughed. "Well that's great and gross at the same time...I'm happy for you."

Brianna smiled. "Its pretty great, he's not showing fuckboi symptoms yet so."

I chuckled. "That's a good sign! Unlike Gilinsky."

"What has that loser done now?" She sighed as we pulled into Westside parking lot.

"Nothing." I shrugged. "He's been MIA and I miss him."

"I'm sure he has reasons Jesy, don't freak out just yet." She gave me a side hug as I cut the engine. "Sometimes I wish you were with my brother...he talks about you alot."
