"So, that's not weird at all," Emily said. "Nothing?"

"I just went to his house," I said. "That's it." We walked into class as the bell rang, I sat down and Parker walked in and sat behind me. He played with hair and trailed his fingers along my shoulder, they went away and I was holding back a smile.

The class ended and the bell rang, we walked out and switched classes.

Lunch came and I walked into the library, I grabbed a book and sat down. I opened it and started reading, the book taken from me and I looked at Parker.

"Hey beautiful," he said and I smiled.

"Go before someone sees Parker Hudson in a library," I said.

"Haha," he said sarcastically. "I thought you'd be worried about Kahn."

"Yeah him too," I said.

"I'm football captain, he knows better than to test me," he said.

"He's more scared of Shawn than you," I said and he kissed me.

"I don't care," he said. "There's a room upstairs, can we take a trip up there. Give me a tour of what I'm working with."

"Get out of my face, Parker," I said and took my book back. "Because touch my book again and I will break your nose."

"Actually I just wanted to ask if you wanted to come with me and McKenna, to the fair tonight," he said. "But read your book."

"Are you mad at me?" I asked, he looked at me.

"No," he said and I smiled.

"Go before someone sees you," I said and smiled as he walked away and I smiled down at my book.

Lunch ended and I headed for my locker, I was walking when I was tripped and heard laughing. I looked at Parker and some of he football team, including Kahn.

"Watch where you're going," Parker said and I got up.

"You tripped me," I snapped and he quickly got in my face.

"Don't snap at me," he hissed. "Because I will end you. You can thank your big brother for that." I looked at Kahn and he was in shock. "Get lost skater girl."

"Parker," I said as I looked back at him.

"Now," he spat and I flinched, I walked away.

"So where are you going again?" Shawn asked as I pulled on my skinny jeans.

"I'm gonna out with Emily," I said. "You did take away my potential boyfriend and made him humiliate me in front of everyone."

"He was player," he said. "Just like his brothers, baby or not, he would've got you in bed and thrown you away." I pulled off my shirt and slipped on my button up shirt.

"Go away Shawn," I said.

"You can pout all you want but let your guard down and mess this up for all of us," he said and I slipped on my converses.

"Now you wanna be here for me?" I asked. "You're a little late big brother." I fixed my hair and topping it off with a beanie.

"What's that suppose to mean?" He asked.

"All those sleepless nights," I said. "I was terrified to sleep because of them. Sneaking in my room and in my bed, whispering my ear. It's gonna ok, it'll be over before you know what's happening. Then the confident ones, don't enjoy it too much."

"You never told me," he snapped. "Don't you blame me."

"I'm not blaming you," I said. "It was moms fault, but no one protected me. My innocence is long gone and I'm used."

"Don't say that," he said.

"You tell me to speak the truth," I said and grabbed my phone, I tucked it in my back pocket. "Now, let me live for one night." I walked past him and downstairs, I saw Emily playing with Ashton's hair.

"Ready?" She asked and I nodded, we walked out.

"Alex," Shawn called and I looked at him. "Please be careful, I love you." I licked my lips.

"I will," I said and walked out running after Emily, I got in and she pulled out. We were jamming out to the radio.

"Without your kisses, I'll be needing stitches," we sang loudly and laughed. She whipped it in and we got out, I shut my door and we fist bumped. We walked in and we laughed and browsed the cute boys. Till my eyes landed on a group of boys, one particular being Parker Hudson.

"He's here," I said, before I could hide he looked at me. I turned around. "I don't want him here."

"You can't kick him out of a public place," she said, someone walked up to me and I recognized him as one of the football players. He turned me around and pushed me towards Parker. I walked to him and he came towards me.

"I didn't think you'd come," he said.

"You told me not to come," I said. "You snapped at me and told me to go away. You called me skater girl, Parker."

"To throw Kahn off, Alex," he said. "Kingston's big mouth said something about you with me."

"Well I'm so sorry," Kingston said, Parker laced his hand through mine.

"It was funny though," he said as I glared at him and he kissed my cheek. "Let's go."

"McKenna," I said.

"Max is watching her," he said and smirked. "It's just us tonight." Why'd he kiss my cheek? Why not lips? You're stressing, Alex, stop! "Hey." I looked at Parker and saw we were in line. "Did you hear anything I just said?"

"I'm sorry," I said and he looked around, he pulled me behind a place and we were alone.

"Why are you scared of me?" He asked. "Is it because of what I did when you talked about McKenna?"

"No, no," I said. "I'm not scared, Parker. Just nervous."

"Well stop it," he said and got closer. "Or do I gotta make you."

"Was that a thre-" he crashed his lips into mine and I touched his jaw. Someone cleared their throat and we looked at Kingston.

"Cute scene but we got a big problem," he said.

"What?" Parker asked.

"Kahn is here and looking for you," he said, he walked away and Parker looked at me.

"Go hide and I'll find you," he said and kissed my forehead, we split ways and I ran behind the tent. I walked a little ways and I was grabbed, a hand slapped on my mouth and my eyes widened. I heard voices.

"No Kahn, I haven't seen the brat," Parker said.

"She was coming here tonight with Emily," Kahn said.

"Look Ramsey, I don't know if you're unfamiliar with this shit or something but I don't care about Alex. Your brother ruined that for her." I tried to struggle but they gripped harder, quieting sounds was all I heard in my ear.

"Shawn can be an ass but he has a purpose," Kahn said.

"Well she can have his purpose," he said. "I'm not." They pulled me and I tried to pull away, we got to light and I saw Jake.

"Jacob," I said.

"You don't listen very well," he said. "Don't call me Jacob, just Jake."

"Jake, you can't tell Shawn," I said. "Parker is the only boy whose been nice to me. He's gentle even when he's mad."

"Calm down, I'm not a snitch," he said. "I just want you to see what you're getting into. Parker has a kid already, you don't think he's gonna show her more attention than you?"

"So? That's his daughter," I said. "Mom and dad never showed us attention."

"You got attention, just not the good kind," he said.

"Alex," I heard someone and looked at Parker. "Oh shit."

"It's fine, he's not gonna tell," I said. "Go and get Kahn out of here."

"Hurt her and there will be blood," Jake threatened and he walked away. I looked at Parker and he grabbed my hand. He walked out pulling me behind him, we walked to the line and waited. I was playing with his fingers and felt something cold against my fingers. I looked at the ring on his hand.

"What's that?" I asked.

"This?" He asked flashing his ring. "Just something my dad gave me before he left. Why?"

"It's familiar," I said and looked away, we got on the Ferris wheel and started going. I gripped his hand.

"You ok?" He asked.

"Just not a big fan of heights," I said and he wrapped his arm around me.

"It's ok," he whispered. "I'm right here." I looked at him and he kissed me. I gripped his shirt and I smiled. I laid on his shoulder.

We ran through the pouring rain laughing and squealing, we jumped in his car and I was shaking.

"Oh my god, I didn't expect it to rain," he said.

"It's ok, it's just a little chilly," I said.

"Aw," he said and kissed my nose. "Your little nose is red."

"Just drive," I said and he pulled out. He started driving and his hand found his way to my thigh. I loved rain, it's soothing to me. My thoughts got cut short by Parker.

"What're you thinking about?" He asked.

"Rain, but how it's weird because I hate thunderstorms," I said.

"Is there a reason why?" He asked.

"Thunderstorms weren't the best experiences for me," I said and he peeked at me. "Give me time and I'll tell you." He squeezed my thigh and I smiled.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Well ducklings, who missed me? Nobody? Ok.

Ok, is it me or is Parker a good ass actor? I reread it and honestly believed he was mad at her.

Then a little insight into Alex's past.

But what I'm wondering. Why does Alex recognize a ring from Parker's father? Hmm.

Comment ideas, no idea is dumb. It just gives me a clue and I then sprinkle my special dust and voila. I made a decent chapter.
