Unsurprisingly, I didn't sleep well once again. The lack of sleep was really building up. There was simply to much drama in my life to cope with, and I could no longer rely on normal days. I had to start thinking straight about this situation. It was nothing I could brush off anymore because now I knew that my life could be at stake. I concluded that Parker was the right person to tell. Of course, I was worried he would contact the police, but I had no choice but to tell anyone, and I trusted him more than anyone else. But I would also wait for a good opportunity.
A few days went by and they were becoming a little more normal. The messages, the note and the knife were constantly hoarding the back of my mind, but I still thought about other things. I wasn't sleeping well still. I was sleeping a little better, but I certainly wasn't getting enough sleep. Parker realised I was acting more tired and I probably looked exhausted, so he started calling me before I slept. It helped take my mind off things a little and I was extremely thankful to him.
Summer eventually got her way and we met up. I told her everything that had happened between Parker, discluding certain details such as the fact I didn't say yes at first or that the reason I went round his on Saturday evening was because I was struggling with sleep. I also told her about our date that would be on Thursday and she insisted that now we would have to go shopping and probably by a dress. I denied her as even if I did want to go shopping, Parker has assured me that I wouldn't have to dress up.
He told me just to be comfortable and that he would be doing the same. Summer seemed annoyed and told me about how she would have a chat with Parker about how he should be treating me. I laughed and thought about Parker having to deal with her telling him to take me to dinner or something, so I decided not to tell her how much I would rather whatever we were going to do.
I met up with Parker every day, and things with him were pretty perfect. He would always ask me what I wanted to do, and if I weren't up to anything, he would do nothing with me. I didn't quite know what I had done to deserve him to be so kind, sweet and patient with me. I never got the right moment to tell him about the messages and so on. I wanted to spit it out, the mood and the moment was never right. Other times, we were with Summer and Noah, and I certainly couldn't tell him with them there. Or sometimes, we would be in the café and there were too many people around to have that kind of conversation.
Before long, Thursday evening had come around, and I was excessively enthusiastic. I couldn't think about anything else throughout the entire day because the anticipation of finding out what he had planned shut out even the worst of thoughts. I quickly got dressed. Yes, I wanted to be comfortable, but it was our first date and I wanted to look nice. At least presentable. I picked out some clothes that were casual and comfy, yet still nice. I also washed my hair and wore it down as oppose to tying it back scruffily like I usually would. Almost as soon as I was ready, Parker texted me and it was time to meet him outside.
"Hey, gorgeous." He greeted as I walked out of my driveway. He caught me by surprise and pulled me into a short kiss before hopping to the other side of the car. I climbed in and sat down.
"That wasn't very gentlemanly. Aren't you meant to wait until the end of the date?" I asked mockingly and grinned at him.
"Eh." He shrugged it off. "Who keeps track." He kissed me again and we both laughed. He began to drive.
"So where are we heading?" I wondered. We usually drove the other way.
"Into the city." He murmured simply. Really? I thought we were avoiding things like this. I trusted him and I would bear with it, but the city wasn't where I had ideally pictured us going.
"Parker, I really appreciate you taking me out, but why the city? You know I hate that place." I commented, trying to not make it sound like I was complaining. His expression did not crack for a moment and continued to look ahead at the road.
"You hate the part of the city associated with your father. That's not where we are going." The corner of his mouth raised a little and I knew that's all he would tell me, so I waited to see what he had decided for us to do.
Sorry it was a little shorter than normal but if I didn't stop there it'd be another couple thousand words :)
Have a great day 💕💕
