Vic’s POV

“Hey! Look how’s back together!” Austin shouted when he saw me and Jody walk hand in hand.

“Hey Austin” Jody greeted him and stopped walking.

“Hey man” I greeted him, too and gave him a smile.

“So good to see you guys together again” Austin said and smiled at both of us.

“Well, it feels good, too” I said.

“By the way, thank you that I could stay at your band’s bus those days” Jody thanked him.

“Ah, you don’t have to thank us for that. We enjoyed those days. They were fun. It was like having a friend over” he answered.

“Thank you though.”

“No problem. Oh, hey, have you found out more about this maybe-father Kevin Brown or something?” Austin asked her. Wait, maybe-father? What was he talking about? I could feel that Jody froze and she opened her mouth to speak, but not a word escaped her lips. Her hand immediately left mine. I turned my head to her and looked at her confused.

“N-no, I haven’t found out anything new” she answered and tried to sound like it wasn’t a big deal. But even if we were just together for some months, I knew her well enough for knowing that it was a big deal. I still didn’t say anything.

Austin looked first at me and then at Jody. He seemed to get the hint.

“Oh, sorry” he apologized.

“It’s okay” Jody said and waved it away.

“Okay, I’ll go now” Austin said and left without saying another word. As soon as he disappeared, Jody turned to me and tried to find the right words.

“Listen Vic, please don’t freak out” she started.

“Maybe-father? What was he talking about?” I asked a bit pissed.

“Vic, it’s not how it maybe sounds like-“

“Who’s this Kevin Brown?!”

“He’s…he’s maybe my real father.”

“He’s…what?!” I wasn’t pissed anymore. My pissed-ness washed away from the moment when she said ‘my real father’. Now I was just confused and maybe a bit disappointed that she didn’t tell me.

“Before I joined you on tour, I went to my mother to let her tell what she’d got to say. So when I went there, she told me that…the man who raised me maybe isn’t my father and that this guy called Kevin Brown maybe is. That meant that my Mom cheated on my…Dad or whatever he is and now he knows and left her. We had a huge fight and I told her that I don’t ever wanna have contact with her anymore and got in my car to drive home. This was one of the days were I tried to call you and you didn’t pick up and well… I haven’t really done anything since then. No one knows except the guys from Of Mice & Men, I didn’t even tell Sam. I mean he could’ve been my half-brother the whole time. And the man that raised me up maybe isn’t even my father!” There was no reason for me to be disappointed. She started crying and I hugged her.

“Why didn’t you tell me?”

“I don’t know…I just couldn’t. When you didn’t pick up the phone so many times, I just felt so alone and everything. And then you kissed this girl and I just felt like in this situation like my mother. Like you play the role of my mother and I’m my…Dad and find out about this way too late.” She stopped talking because she started to sob.

“Oh shit, Jody. I’m so fucking sorry. I didn’t mean to hurt you this much.” I really felt horrible. I didn’t see, that I hurt her this much and I, of course, didn’t want this.
