Still dont understand

Alex POV
When mom and i got home from the mall, there was a missed call from Jack. My stomach tightened. I was hoping to avoid him for as long as possible. I couldn't face him just yet after what happened so when mom came in I quickly removed the notification.

"Who was that sweetheart?" My palms started to sweat. I hated lying.
"It was some telemarketer trying to get us to buy some crap. Don't worry about it." She nodded and smiled, "I'm going to go to bed so I will see you tomorrow afternoon since I go back to school tomorrow." I couldnt wait to see Kenzie after months of being apart. I also needed to turn in about two months of work to all of my teachers. I went upstairs and just sat on my bed, thinking. Why did Jack call anyway? He was the one who told me to leave. I didnt hate him, I love him, but I cant risk letting him down anymore. Ugh this sucks. I suck, life sucks, being a teenager sucks. I just hate everything that happened in LA and want to forget about it. My phone started to vibrate and i looked to see who it was. I held my breath, but let it go to see it was dad.
"Hi dad, whats up?"
"I heard you were home."
"Yup, I got home around 11 today. Where are you?" There was silence on the other end. "Dad?"
"Your mother didnt tell you? I thought you wouldve caught on. I'm not coming home because I'm in Japan sweetheart. I'm on a buisness trip." I hadnt noticed that my heart rate sped up until he finally said why he wasnt home. For a second i though he was going to tell me that him and mom got divorced or even worse, "Alex?"
"Yeah sorry, thats great dad! When will you be home again?"
"Not for a little while but hopefully not a year like last time." I froze remembering that time when my dad left for Europe when i was ten. Jack came up for the time being to help out and it was havic every day. I hated it.
"Oh alright. I have to go to bed so I can get up early tomorrow. I love you."
"Love you too buggy. Have a good day tomorrow. Bye." The line went dead, and I sat there, my train of thought crashing into a brick wall. I didnt want dad to be gone for a year, but since he loves his job so be it.
The next morning, i got another call from Jack. He's calling be at like 12 am LA time and I just felt uncomfortable talking to him so i just didnt answer hoping he would stop calling soon. When i finished getting dressed (http://www.polyvore.com/idk/set?id=139309024) I looked at the time and realized that I would be late if I stayed any longer. My old school was only a ten minute walk so i just speed walked and made there with fifteen minutes to spare. I stopped by the library and picked up some books that i actually wanted to read. So i snatched up Paper Towns, Looking for Alaska, and If I Stay so I could keep myself busy. I actually missed reading and stuff. Maybe even school itself. When you have delt with all the drama I have, you tend to miss the norms in life. I got a text while skimming through Paper Towns, reading the side cover and the back to get a quick summary. It was Jack...again.
Where have you been? You haven't called or texted. Whats wrong? Please answer this is really important -J. I had to answer back because then I'd be guilty for not doing so.
Hey Jack. How have you been? There, plain and simple. I got a response only fifteen mississippis.
Oh my god you answered! Why havent you been answering my calls?! Its been five days since i heard from you and i have something to tell you thats really important. -J.
Dont you have a job to do and not to stalk your eighteen year old neice? -A
Well i do have a job but you have been so busy avoiding me that Ive been working from home staying up late trying to reach you. -J
Oh so this is my fault that you kicked me out and I felt uncomfortable talking to you? Explain please...-A
Alexandra please dont right now I still have something important to tell you. -J
Oh yeah? And whats that uncle of the year? -A
You are so stubborn like your father... I already told your mother but I instructed her not to tell you because I wished to do it myself. -J
Will you just tell me already? I need to get to class. -A
I'm getting married next month and you and your mother are flying down. Have a good day my darling neice :-) -J
WHAT THE HELL IS THIS SHIT?!?!
