Chapter 10

(Corey's POV)

Cole paced the floor angrily, mumbling cusses to himself in Finnish. Bam eventually told him to stop cussing, but Cole being the stubborn son of a bitch he is started cussing in French instead. Chris just stood in the corner, shaking so bad I kept wondering if he'd just pass out. I cross my arms and stood quietly thinking about my night with Mark.

When Mom and Dad came in Cole ran over to them, Chris just about fainted, and I stood where I was. Dad looked madder then hell. The look on his face caused Chris, the empathic emotional one he is, to whimper. "Cole Vincent, Christopher Ryan, and Corey Benjamen. I cannot believe you three!" Mom screamed. I knew she was going to be super pissed before she got here. Tattoos, piercings and drinking usually don't bother her much but since we're all underage and weren't responsible at all when we were doing that stuff and having it done, she was pissed. She was probably the maddest at the fact we snuck out, and that we smelled like cigarettes and pot. "What the hell is wrong with you guys?"

Just when I was thinking we might get off easy, Cole opens his big bitchy mouth. "Mom I'm almost 17. When you were my age you were pregnant, screwing a guy 6 years older then you, and a recovering addict. I don't do that shit. So I think I'm well within my right to go out and party with my girl once and a while!" I shook my head, and Chris sank down to the floor. We knew what was coming but Cole obviously didn't. Mom had been holding Dad back, but given Mom is 5'2 and 130 pounds, and Dad is 5'7 and 170 pounds, she couldn't stop him from pushing her out of the way and slapping the fuck out of Cole. She did get in and pull him off though.

"Don't you fucking ever talk to your mother like that!" Dad yelled, his face was redder then the streaks Jacey put in her hair at one time. Mom took one look at Dad and slapped him as hard as she could across the face. He stepped back. I'm always amazed at how Mom can really stand up to Dad. Even if he has hit her once or twice. He got it good afterward though.

"What the fuck have I told you about fucking hitting our kids!" Now Mom was royally pissed off, and not just at us. "They went out and partied all night, that's no reason to fucking hit 'em, especially when we did the same God damn thing!" Dad looked at Mom with that look of his that makes Chris and Jacey cry. I looked over and saw indeed that Chris was silently bawling into his knees. Dad turned around and stormed outside. Mom sighed softly, keeping her composure. She turned to Cole who was holding his face and fighting back stinging tears. She looked at him and told him to go out to his car. Cole nodded to her and left out the back. Chris got up wiping his eyes and followed Cole.

"Mom?" She went over to me. "Mom, I'm sorry about what we did." I don't really know if I was really sorry, but I felt the need to apologize to my mother.

"Shh. Don't apologize right now." She met my eyes. "You didn't do heroin last night?" I shook my head. It was true. Mark had shot up before we had sex, and offered to me, but I just couldn't do it. "Go home with your brothers. Dad and I will be home...hopefully soon." I nodded and followed Cole and Chris outside.

(Jeremey's POV)

Josh told Jacey and Me that Aila Cole Chris and Corey had snuck out and spent the night with MVD, who happened to be the boyfriend Corey was hiding. Chris had told him before they left. I really wasn't that surprised that they snuck out. How they came back though did.

Jacey ran to them and hugged all three of them before pulling back and checking out what they had done to themselves. She knew they were all upset, and we knew Dad had probably blown up. Somehow, no matter what, it always seems that when Mom and Dad gets mad at us, Mom winds up getting mad at Dad as well.

I went into the living room and my brothers and sister followed. Josh and Amy were sitting curled up together on the couch. "Josh you gotta check out the awesome heartagram tattoos they all got." I said rather sarcastically. My brothers showed off their tats and Josh smirked.

"Nice lip rings guys." Amy remarked smirking at my brothers. "I'm a little bit jealous. Dad would have killed me if I had ever pulled something like that when I was your age."

"Yeah, well, you flew to England the day you turned 21." Josh looked at me with a smirk. "Oh and didja find out if I'm having a niece or nephew yet?" They shook their heads and I sighed stupidly. My sibs and I had a bet over what their baby was gonna be. Jacey Chris and Corey all thought it was a girl. Cole and I were holding out for a boy.

Then we heard the door slam sharply. Jacey jumped and grabbed Cole hiding behind him. Chris and Corey pushed me behind them and Josh stood up pulling Amy up and holding her behind him. My older brothers all faced my Dad who looked like he had been madder than hell but was now somewhat calm. Mom came in and fished around for aspirin. "Just go upstairs baby." We all moved out of the way as dad went to his room tiredly. "By the way." Mom said as she passed up. "You three are grounded for a week, Corey you aren't allowed near Mark Von D, and Cole, you're only allowed to see Aila at Bam and Jimmy's, and not in Dusti's room either." She followed Dad upstairs to their room.

Corey's jaw dropped and he stood there absolutely stunned. He actually had to have Jacey help him sit down. Cole started cussing angrily. Cole was Mom's "favorite" so to speak, so this was an absolute shock to him. Chris just shook his head and sighed. Chris is a good kid even though he won't admit it, and often he gets dragged into this shit by Cole and Corey. I smirked a little bit. I was jealous my brothers went out and had such a fuckin good time, more so because I'm only 6 months younger then them, and only a month younger then Aila. I'm still jealous even though they're grounded for a week. Sometimes being the youngest Novak boy is so un-fucking-fair.
