Chapter 13: Winning an award
Jessa’s POV
“Okay, we’re all here.” Jaime mumbled sitting down next to me at the table while I finished my smoothie. “What’s so important?”
“Well, I got a call saying that we’re up for the Best Music Video Award at the Kerrang in London.” I could hear the excitement in Vic’s voice as he said it.
“Are you fucking serious?!” Mike stood up and looked at him.
“Yea” Vic nodded and stood up right before Mike wrapped him in a hug.
I looked over and saw a tear running down my mom’s cheek as my dad walked over to her. They kissed and held each other while I stood up to hug Jaime.
“I’m so happy for you guys.” I was in tears now too.
I mean, yea they’ve gotten awards before but this was huge. Jaime finally let go of me as Mike hugged me. He picked me up and spun me around in the air. I laughed into his neck and clung to him until he set me down. I got hugged by Vic; he was both laughing and crying as he held me close to him.
“Congratulations Tinta.” I mumbled into his ear.
“Thanks babygirl.” He laugh/cried to me.
He kissed my cheek and let go of me. I looked over at my dad and saw tears in his eyes before he started toward me. His arms wrapped around me as I buried my face in his chest.
“I’m really proud of you dad.” I said when he pulled back to look at me.
“Thanks Sissy.” He looked into my eyes a tear fell from his.
I leaned up and kissed his cheek before letting go of him completely. They all looked at us and smiled.
“Tomorrow night, we celebrate.” I said loudly as they all smiled at me.
I walked back into the house form the backyard to find Harry and my mom in the kitchen with a few of my dad’s friends. They were laughing and joking around. It was nice to see Harry fitting in with them and I knew Zayn was getting along with my dad in the backyard.
“Need something Boo?” My mom asked as I threw away some empty beer bottles.
“Just getting more drinks.” I mumbled opening the fridge.
Harry walked over and helped me grab more drinks and helped me outside. I smiled at him as we walked toward the picnic table.
“Thanks for the help.” I tried to warm up my arms after setting them down.
“Mhm.” He hummed opening one.
“So, do you like my family?” I grabbed a beer.
“Yea, they're really nice and your dad is super funny.” He helped me open my beer as my dad walked up.
“Hey guys, you and Zayn are staying here tonight. I’m not going to let you guys drive after this.” My dad sounded kind of buzzed. “And since you're drinking too, I know tonight is going to be even crazier.” He pointed to me.
“Okay, thanks.” Harry was polite with my dad.
“I’m gonna go find Zayn.” I said as I walked away.
I walked past familiar faces and annoying laughter until I found Zayn. He was with Mike and his wife, Angel. They were all laughing and drinking.
“Hey Angela.” I hugged her. “I didn't see you get here.”
“You were busy doing something.” She shrugged with a smile. “I’m sorry I missed your party.”
“Oh, it’s totally cool.” I took a drink from my beer.
“Next time you come back to San Diego, I’ll take you out.” She always made a big deal of stuff for me.
“Sounds fun.” I smiled and grabbed Zayn’s hand. “Can I borrow you for a minute?”
“Sure.” He smiled at me and then looked at them. “See ya.”
They waved as we walked away. Our fingers were laced together while we walked toward the other end of the backyard.
“Are you enjoying the party?” He asked with a smile.
“Yea, are you?” I was kind of drunk so I knew my words were mumbled together a little.
“Mhm.” He nodded sitting down on the chair swing.
“Good.” I sat down next to him while I tried to sort through what I was about to say. “So, my dad said that you and Harry have to stay here tonight since you're drinking. And he also said that if you wanted to, you can come with us to England.”
“What?! Really?” He seemed excited.
“Yea, he likes you so he said it’d be okay since I’ll be on my own for a little bit while we’re there.”
“Sweet, I’d love to come with you guys.” He draped his arm around my shoulders.
“Cool. We leave Thursday morning, well Wednesday night. Whatever, our flight is for 3:00 am so you should just stay here Wednesday night.” I looked up at him and saw him laugh at me. “And we’ll be there for a week.”
“Okay, I’ll go home and pack tomorrow.” He kissed my forehead as Vic jogged over to us.
“Come help me kick your dads ass in beer pong.” He almost begged.
I laughed and stood up before reaching down to help Zayn up. We followed Vic to the garage where everyone was already starting the game.
“Cheaters. You have to start over since we weren’t here.” I demanded making my dad look at me.
“Are you really on his team?” He asked and I nodded so he looked at Vic. “You're putting my own daughter against me.”
“You're only upset because I’m better at beer pong than you are.” Vic flipped my dad off.
“If you were really better than me you wouldn’t need her help.” My dad was pointing at me and laughing.
“Don’t act like a sore loser when we kick your ass.” Jaime was on my dad’s team so Vic looked to me ad Zayn for help.
“How about we stop talking about the game and actually play it?” I had to step in to break up all the shit talking.
“Okay, we’re all here.” Jaime mumbled sitting down next to me at the table while I finished my smoothie. “What’s so important?”
