Because Mom Wasn't Enough

Tonight we'll be throwing a party

Jo's POV

"Okay, now let up on the gas and slowly press the brake." Vic ordered. I slowed the car and Vic nodded. "Good, now go up a little further and turn." I did as he said and turned into the driveway. "And...stop." I stopped the car in the driveway and looked at Vic. "Good job, Jo." He said, smiling. I smiled and Vic patted my shoulder.

"I told you I'd be a great driver!" He chuckled.

"I said good job not great job. You did almost run over that old lady." He mocked as he got out of the car.

"She was walking too slow!"

"Yeah okay, and what about the biker?" I pointed a warning finger at him.

"Hey. He brought that on himself. Did you see how glazed over his eyes were? He was probably smoking all kind of stuff!"

"Or it was fear..." I gave Vic a look and followed him inside.

"Surprise!" Everyone yelled. I looked around to see just about everyone the guys and I knew there. I smiled at them.

"What's going on?" I asked Vic. He shrugged.

"No idea, but I never refuse a good party!" He dragged me in through the crowd of people. When he let go of me and got lost in the sea of people I made my way into the kitchen. There were cases of beer and whiskey on every counter top and I decided no one would miss one bottle. I popped the top and took a few gulps. "Jo!" I heard over the music. I spun around and Vic was giving me an un approving stare. "You literally got your permit this morning and you're already drinking beer?" I held it up.

"I'm celebrating!" He sighed and looked away. He took the bottle out of my hand and replaced it with a glass. "What's this?" I asked.

"Whiskey. If you're going to celebrate, celebrate right." He smirked and I sipped it.

"Hey Vic!" Vic turned around and Kellin and Kate were walking up to us.

"Hey, Kells, Kate, what's up?" He greeted.

"Glad you got her back man. Welcome home Jo, don't go running off again!" I nodded and laughed to myself.

"I heard you're having a baby, congratulations man!" Vic said. Kellin held a proud grin and held Kate's hand.

"Thanks, we're really excited. It's due in April." I smiled at Kate. I was glad she finally told Kellin. I snuck away, leaving Vic to catch up with his friends. I ran up to get my phone out of my room and opened the door. My eyes landed on my bed where two guys were going at it.

"Ahhh!" I screamed over-dramatically. I slammed the door shut and spun around.

"Jo!? You okay?" Vic asked, running up the stairs. I stared straight ahead in a daze.

"So much dick..." I muttered.

"What?" I moved away from the door and Vic opened the door. "Ugh guys, put some goddamn clothes on! Don't do that here!" Vic pulled me away, towards the stairs. "We'll get you a new bed..."

"What were you doing?" I asked. He had gotten up here really fast.

"Oh, I was going to get my bathing suit. We're going swimming, wanna come?" I shrugged. Jack and Alex came running out of my room, pulling their clothes back on.

"OH MY GOD JALEX!" Alex winked at me and Vic and we laughed. "Yeah, I'll come I guess." I went back into my room and changed into my bathing suit staying as far AWAY from my bed as possible. I went back downstairs and out the back door. Dad and some other guys were already in the pool drinking and laughing. I stared at the water and decided to just sit down and let my feet dangle in the pool.
