I'm Okay

Him.. (8)

*Parker's POV*

"no. no no no.." I repeated. "I t-think things are finally okay p-please don't ruin it please.." I said to myself as it got harder to breathe I backed down into one of the corners of the room I was in. I dropped my phone to the floor and started feeling light headed.

"H-He's going to come back.. he's going to hurt me again.." I whispered and tears starting flowing down my cheeks as I pulled my knees to my chest. "Parker? What's going on?" Laura asked confused, as she walked into the room I was in. 

"H-He's coming back.." Is all I could get out before she got her phone out I assume to call Billie and Fallon. "Billie I need you and Fallon to get here as fast as you can. I think Parker is having an anxiety attack.." She said in a worried tone. "Okay I'll see you when you get here please hurry she looks pale." Laura said before she hung up the phone and sat in front of me grabbing my hands.

"Parker you're okay, you're safe here I promise." She said in a calming tone as she rubbed both of her thumbs on the backs of my hands. "P-Please don't let him come back.. don't let him hurt me again.." I sobbed as more tears fell from my eyes. "Who honey? No one is coming to hurt you."

"H-He called me.. he said.." I cried. "Who?" She asked looking extremely worried and confused as I heard the door in the lobby open. "I'll be right back Parker your parents are here." She said starting to get up. "No! Please d-don't leave me alone!" I yelled not letting go of her hands. 

"Alright I'm not going anywhere I promise Parker I'm right here, but I need to text Billie to let her know we're in the den. Do you think you could let go of my hands?" She asked as I nodded and let go of her hands.

Seconds later after Laura had texted Billie, both her and Fallon came into the den. "Parker baby what happened?" Fallon asked as she sat down on the left side of me and Billie sat down on the right side of me. "He's coming.. he's coming for me he's going to hurt me.." I sobbed.

 "I need you to take a deep breath in for me and then let it out." Fallon said noticing I was getting a lot more pale. "I-I can't I can't do it.." I said trying and failing. "Yes you can. Parker look at me." Billie said grabbing my hand as I looked at her. 

"In." She said taking a deep breath. "Out." She said letting go of the air in her lungs as I did the same I saw a small sad smile appear on her face. "Again." She said as we did it again and again until I could finally, breathe normally again. She wiped the tears off of my face and took me to the car so Fallon and Laura could talk about what happened.

*Billie's POV*

On the ride home Parker fell asleep in the back seat of Fallon's car. She looked so exhausted but so peaceful at the same time. "Who do you think 'He' is?" Fallon asked as we stopped at a red light. 

"I don't know, her file said her dad was in jail so it couldn't have been him, but I'm sure she'll tell us when she wakes up." I said with a sigh as Fallon grabbed my hand and planted a small kiss on it. "Don't stress love she's going to be okay." She said with a smile.

"She just seems like she's been through so much." I said with a pout as she nodded. "Because she has been, but we'll get through it together I promise." She said as we pulled into our drive way.

I got out and picked Parker up carrying her up to her bedroom. I laid her down, and covered her up, before leaving a small kiss on her forehead. I left the door open in case she needed one of us or had another nightmare.

*Fallon's POV*

It's been about two hours and I'm finishing dinner while Billie is on the phone with her family. They asked to come over and meet Parker but we all agreed that right now isn't the best time especially because of what happened today. Parker woke up around 30 minutes ago and she's in the shower because she said she feels gross.

She wants to talk about what happened at the studio after dinner. She asked what she should wear down to dinner. We're just having dinner here at the house so it was very confusing. Do people at her other homes usually tell her what to wear? 

"Are Jake and Cole coming over when the family does?" Billie asked walking into the kitchen still on the phone. "No it's their anniversary." I say as Billie nods and sits on the couch. "No they aren't coming mom. Babe the family says hi." Billie says as she puts the phone on speaker so they can hear me. 

"Hi mom, Hey Finn, Aloha Dad." I say with a smile as I hear Billie  and her family laugh. "Alright  we love you guys, we're going to go so we can eat dinner." She said  continuing the phone call as they said their goodbyes. 

*Time skip to dinner*

(HUGE TW PROCEED WITH CAUTION)

"Thank you guys for the food." Parker said with a slight smile. "No problem." I said as we finished our food. "So Parker what happened today at the dance studio?" I asked and she replied with a sigh. 

"So in total I have been to 8 foster homes. 12 people have actually adopted me and then ended up just sending me back because they thought I was too much to handle." She explained keeping her eyes glued to the table. 

"Some homes have been decent, but I have terrible memories and have had terrible experiences at most. The person who called me was a 'Step-brother' from my 6th foster home." She said doing air quotes with her fingers when she said step-brother.

"He.. he um- let's just say he did some questionable things.. His parents abused me. They would take away meals, controlled me, manipulated me and so much more.." She said seeming like she was reliving it all.

"I got a restraining order after I was taken out of that home. None of them were supposed to find me. They all keep showing up, s-saying that they're coming back, saying they want to make me pay for all that I've done.. I can't go through that again.." She said as tears filled her eyes.

"Hey hey listen Parker we're not going to do anything like that. As soon as we saw you we knew that we would be taking you home." I said moving my hand to hers before she flinched away and put both of her hands in her lap.

"She's right we would never do anything to hurt you and I'm so so unbelievably sorry that you had to go through that. No one deserves that." Billie said. "Thank you.. that means a lot actually.. um.. I think I'm going to go to bed thank you guys for everything though.." She said as she got up and put her dishes in the sink before going upstairs not making eye contact once.

Poor girl..
