My friends and I have problems

Evan's POV
Things were back to normal. We were all on Jon's couch watching a movie. I laid my head on Jon's lap and he played with my hair.
"Someones birthday's coming up" Jon smiled down at me. My birthday was December 9th and I was finally turning 15. Everyone but Jon and I had our birthday's yet. Jon's is February 4th, Marcel's was August 18th, Bryce and Tyler's was October 30th, and Craig's was November 8th. "Yup, I wonder who?" I laughed. "It's funny how you're the second youngest out of all of us and yet you're almost taller than me" Marcel laughed.
"You call this a hair cut?" Jon scoffed.
"A trim" I laughed. "You need to shave this thing off" he laughed.
"Yo, wanna go to the skatepark?" Marcel asked.
"Sure, let's go" I said hopping over the couch. Everyone laughed and we headed to the skatepark. Marcel carried my board and I carried Jon on my back to make up for me being in the hospital. We made it there and we did some cool tricks as Jon sat at the top of the ramp. He looked so beautiful as the sun beamed across his face. "Staring's rude Fong!" He yelled, I smiled and hopped back on my board. I was wearing just black jogger sweatpants and no shirt.
"Ev, someone's calling you!" Jon yelled. I skated up to him and sat closely next to him. I looked at his lips then at my phone and saw "mom". "Shit" I said grabbing the phone and answering. "EVAN GRANT FONG! WHY DID I FIND A CARTON OF CIGARETTES UNDER YOUR BED!" My mom yelled.
"Mom, listen, please I can explain-"
"You can explain to your friends on why you're going to be grounded for ten years!"
"Mom please-", she hung up.
"Fuck!" I yelled throwing my board.
"What?!" Marcel yelled unclipping his helmet.
"My mom found my cigs" I said. Everyone stared at me in pity. I slid down the ramp and put my shirt back on.
"I gotta go, I'll see you guys when I get ungrounded" I said skating home. I got home and opened the front door to see my disappointed mom at the table. I put my board down and sat in front of her.
"What in the HELL ARE YOU THINKING!" she yelled hitting me lightly on my shoulders and head. "Have you lost your mind?! Smoking? Smoking! At age fourteen!" She said holding up the carton.
"Now you care?" I mumbled.
"What?" She angrily asked.
"Now you give a shit! Because you finally found something to talk to me about?! My fucking addiction?! You haven't said a word or even fucking looked at me since we moved here! The only time is when I went to the hospital because I got fucking jumped. You don't give two fucks about me or anyone. All you care about is work. You know what, I'm leaving" I said standing up and walking upstairs.
"Evan! Get back down here!", I ignored her and continued to shove clothes in my backpack. I stood up and she was blocking the door way.
"Ev, baby please sit down" she said. I know any other kid in this situation would've shoved their mom out of the way and carried on with life, but this is the woman that gave birth to me. Sure I was pissed at her currently, but I would never lay my hands on my mother or anyone I loved. I sat on my bed and looked at my feet. "Evan darling, I work so hard for you. How do you think we have this house and how you're going to such a good school. I'm sorry I can't pay attention to you 24/7 Ev, but I have a job. I love you more than anyone or anything in this world and I mean that" she said crying. I wiped her eyes and kissed her head and pulled her into a hug. "I'm so sorry sweetie" she said. I rubbed her back and told her it was alright. She stood up and kissed me head, "so you'll stay?". I nodded and hugged her. "I'm getting tired mom, I'm going to go to bed" I said. "Alright, I love you" she said kissing my head. "I love you too" I smiled. She closed the door and I waited a few minutes then shot up and opened my door. I then went to the bathroom window and opened in and climbed out. I climbed up Jon's house and knocked on his window. He opened it and rubbed his eyes. "Evan?"
"Hey, can I come in?"
"Yeah, sure" he said stepping to the side.
"You know you could've just knocked on the door, my parents won't be back until next month" he laughed. "I know, just thought it was more romantic this way" I laughed sitting on his bed. "How was the whole mom thing?" He asked laying in the middle of the bed. I sighed and laid my head on his lap and he played with my hair. "She yelled at me for smoking, so I yelled at her for never being there for me" I said.
"And how'd that go?" He laughed.
"Ended up with me packing my shit and threatening to leave, her crying, me forgiving her because I love her, and me coming here", Jon nodded. "I don't know, something about seeing her like that broke my heart" I said looking up at him. He looked at my eyes then at my lips. I sat up and looked at him and caressed his face. He then passionately kissed my lips. He quickly pulled away and stood up. "I-I'm so sorry" he said.
"You probably moved on already and I just broke up with Ryan-" I then cut him off by standing up and smashing my lips onto his. His hands went through my hair and mine were wrapped around his waist. I deepened the kiss and stuck my tongue in. Once air became a problem we pulled away. I looked down in embarrassment and rubbed the back of my neck. He lifted up my head to look at him.
"I think I'm in love with you" he said.
