Someone called my name out in the distance. The voice was familiar but as the shuffling noises grew louder I looked up and locked eyes with Drew.
He found me.
"Parker there you are." he bent down so we were eye to eye. He looked upset. "I have been looking for you everywhere."
"Well you found me" I murmured.
"Are you mad at me?" Drew asked.
He doesn't get it. I'm not mad at him, I'm mad at my brothers.
"No Drew. I could never be mad at you. I'm mad at my brothers. They are supposed to be there for me, not ruin my life" I explained trying to keep the tears in. I didn't want to cry in front of Drew. I don't want him to think I'm weak.
"I understand where you are coming from, but I also understand where they are coming from. They are just trying to protect you Parker" Drew said.
"You don't know a lot of stuff about me. I want to tell you these things Parker, I'm just not ready and I hope you understand that." Drew said.
I do understand that he has been through a lot. So have I, losing your mother is hard, and growing up without her and your father never being around is even harder. I'm not saying my problems are worse then his, because I don't think they are. His are probably far worse, even though I didn't have parents around I have the best brothers around. I am so thankful for that.
"I get it Drew, I just want you to know that when you want to talk I will always be here for you" I told Drew.
He leaned closer to me and pressed his soft lips against mine.
"Thank you" Drew whispered.
"What's happening at home" I asked.
"Well as soon as you left, your father pulled up into the drive way, but I didn't stick around. I went to go find you" Drew said.
My dad is home. I have to go home and see him.
"I want to go home" I said to Drew. "I want to see my dad. And I guess I have to talk to my brothers" I said with a sigh.
"I think that's a good idea" he said.
He stood up and held his hand out to me to help me up. I put my hand in his, and it just felt so right. He pulled me into a hug, and I knew everything was going to be okay.
We walked in silence all the way back home, but it was a comfortable silence. It was a 15 minute walk all the way back to my house.
We walked into the house together and I was bombarded with two strong arms. I'm just that lovable I guess.
"I was so worried sweetie" my dad said. "Don't do that again"
I gave him a huge hug back. "I'm sorry daddy. I'm glad you're home" I said.
"I know you are sorry honey, and I'm glad you are home" he replied.
I gave him a small smile. I looked around and no one else was home.
"Where are the guys?" I asked curious.
"They all went out looking for you sweetheart, I should call them and tell them you came home" dad said and walked off into the kitchen.
"I'm going to go get a shower." I told Drew. "We still need to make that shower schedule" I winked at him and walked upstairs into my room.
I heard him laughing when I finally got into my room. I like to take long showers to help me think, and I had some things to think about. For example, what do I even say to my brothers.
I know they were trying to protect me, but I won't let them control my life anymore. They said they would loosen the reins and that's what they are going to do. I don't want them to hate me, but I really like Drew and I think they should at least give us a chance.
I'm a strong person, I can handle a lot of things. They just need to understand that. I know what I want to say to them now, so I got out of the shower.
I put on some comfortable clothes and walked into my room to see all of my brothers in my room. This was it.
"Hey" I said.
"Don't hey us Parker, I was so worried, we were all worried. Please don't do that again." Carter said. He came over and gave me a hug.
"I'm sorry" I said against his chest. "I was just really upset. I couldn't stand there and watch you fight"
"And I'm sorry" Connor said. "It was uncalled for, and I know now that I made a mistake. I apologized to Drew."
"I'm sorry too" Mason said.
"So am I" Nate said. "We never meant to upset you."
Finn came over and brought me into a big hug. "I don't want you to ever think you can't come to us. You did the right thing tonight. You came to us about your relationship, and I really respect that. The triplets took it the wrong way. It wasn't your fault" Finn glared at the triplets.
"I still don't approve" Connor said. "I'm just not going to hold you back anymore Parker" Connor walked out of the room and Nate and Mason followed.
"Really?" I asked myself. "Are they really that upset about this?"
I couldn't help myself I started crying. Why do they not approve. Would they approve of anyone?
"They will come around Parker, I promise. You just have to give them time. Drew is their best friend" Carter said.
"I'm going to leave you and Finn to talk. It's getting late, and I know you have work tomorrow." Carter said and walked over and kissed me on the head.
"Goodnight Carter" I said to him.
"Night Parks" he said.
"He is right Parker, it is getting late so I will talk to you tomorrow about so the rules that have to be set between you and Drew because you are in the same house together, but for tonight, I might just let it slide" Finn said with a wink.
"Goodnight Finn" I said.
"Don't get pregnant" Finn said. He kissed me on the cheek and left my room.
That was embarrassing.
I got into my bed and laid down under the covers to get some sleep, when there was a soft knock on my bathroom door.
Drew walked in and came over and say down on my bed. "Are you okay?" He asked.
"No" I whispered. "Just hold me"
Drew didn't say anything as he went over to my door to lock it. He climbed into my bed and wrapped his warm arms around me.
"Everything is going to be okay" he promised. He kissed my cheek, my neck, and my temple.
I fell asleep with him playing with my hair, and I never felt more safe in his arms.
I knew that I was going to have the best sleep I've had in years.
