What Now? (Book 2) [l. hemmings]

Chapter 14

Victoria's P.O.V.

"Jess you're stressing me out you need to tell me." I beg over the phone.

She just had her appointment and she won't tell me if she's going to be coming to LA.

"Relax Vic. I'm driving right now I'll talk to you when I get to yours." She replies, ending the call.

I groan and pace around my room. We would be leaving in one week, I just want to know if she's coming. I should start packing soon.

Shall we discuss the last little while?

Obviously, I still haven't spoke to Luke.

I had almost slipped up to Michael, Calum and Ashton a few times about Jess, that wouldn't have gone over too well.

As for with Nick, I think I want to end it with him, but I can't bring myself to do it. Lately I've been trying to keep my distance from him but he doesn't seem to be getting the hint that I need space.

I think Jess knows that in my eyes, things are basically over with Nick and I. She doesn't talk much to me about my situation with Nick, mainly because she probably doesn't want to be in the middle of this. I'm her best friend and he's her brother, it must be weird for her, I feel so awful about it.

The door flies open and I look up to Jess rushing into the house.

"You better get packing because we're going to LA!" She exclaims.

"Really?!" I say jumping up and running to hug her.

"Don't crush me, the baby!" She laughs.

"Right, sorry." I say pulling away.

She smiles, "Come on lets go get everything ready."

One week later and here we are, heading to the airport.

"Are you sure you have everything?" My dad asks

"Yes, oh my god how many times are you guys going to ask?" I reply.

We arrive at the airport and head inside.

"We'll see you soon." My mother smiles.

I hug her and she sniffles.

"Mum it's a week there's no need to cry." I chuckle.

"Sorry but I'm sending my daughter over to America I'm going to be a little emotional." She replies.

I shake my head and say goodbye to my dad.

"See you in a bit." He smiles pulling me into a hug.

"I'll see you soon." I reply pulling away.

I go over to Jess and she smiles.

"How are my girls doing?" I ask.

"We're doing alright." She says smiling while rubbing her stomach.

The shirt she was wearing was tighter so you could tell she was definitely pregnant.

"You ready to head to America?" I smile.

"Yea." She breathes out.

Her mother comes and stands beside her.

"Victoria make sure you keep an eye on my girls okay?" Her mum says.

Jess rolls her eyes and I smile.

"Of course." I reply with a giggle.

Nick comes over pecking my lips and pulls me into a hug.
