My Brothers and I

Chapter 19-Are We Friends?

<<<<<<Drew's POV>>>>>>

I wake up to the sun shinning in my eyes, and my hand throbbing in pain. I remember hitting the wall. Wow, that was a stupid idea.

I look at my hand to see that it was wrapped up. I guess one of the guys did it for me. It's still hurts like a bitch though.

I check my phone to see what time it is, when I see I have 15 missed calls from Jeremy, and over 50 text messages from him too.

Oh god, is this good or bad news. I call him quickly.

"Dude, why the fuck weren't you answering?" Jeremy screamed though the phone when he picked up.

"I was sleeping" I mumbled.

"I wish I could sleep" he replied and I could hear the exhaustion in his voice.

"Why did you call so many times, did you have any news?" I asked.

He paused. "Not really, I was just worried that you were taken too. I'm sorry I called so many times."

I sighed. I should have looked at the messages to see what he wanted. I'm not mad at him, he was just worried about me, but I'm upset that there is no news about my Parker.

"So you don't have anything?" I asked him.

"You know how I said I know someone from the inside?" He asked me.

"Yeah I remember, did you get a hold of him?" I asked.

"No, I didn't. I tried his cell and it went right to voicemail, which is odd for him..." Jeremy trailed off probably thinking of his friend.

"Well do you have any other way of getting into contact with him?" I asked.

"No, we would always meet up somewhere. I don't know where he is staying." Jeremy sighed.

"I do have some news though" Jeremy said.

"What?" I asked interested.

"Your parents, I found them. They are in Vegas. Probably spending whatever money they have left" he said.

I put my both my parents in rehab, so they could get their life's back together. They both have alcohol problems, and gabbling too.

I wish they would just think straight for just once in their lives. I don't hate them, no I love them. They are my parents, I could never hate them.

I remember there was a time when I was younger and we actually were a normal family, and when we moved away from the Simmons is when things turned bad.

There where days when we would go without food, or when my parents never came home. I had to get a job to help pay the bills, and for food.

It was hard, but I did it because I loved them. I just wish they would listen, and get help.

I want them to be in my life, when I graduate, at my wedding, when I have kids. All of it.

This is how we got into this mess, it their fault. I should hate them. They were in debt, they owed so much money to people. They asked the crazy ones for help, and it was probably the stupidest decision they ever made.

Now the crazy ones are after them, and they have my Parker. Why would they take her, why not me?

She did nothing wrong, and she doesn't deserve this. I feel horrible for putting the Simmons in trouble. Maybe I should have never came here.

"How long have they been there?" I asked Jeremy.

"Maybe a week or so" he replied.

I'm surprised they are lasting this long.

"Can you keep an eye on them and tell me if they leave the city?" I asked.

"I will keep you posted Drew, just stay strong I promise everything will be okay." Jeremy said. "I got to get some sleep, I'll call you if I have any news, and answer the first time I call!"

"Okay I will. Thank you Jeremy" I said I'm really thankful for him.

"Bye" he said and hung up.

I heard the front door being slammed open and a familiar voice talking downstairs. "Where is my baby?" He asked, and I knew right away it was Mr. Simmons.

I have to go confront him, this is my fault that his baby is gone. Hopefully he won't mess me up to bad.

<<<<<<Parker's POV>>>>>>

I learned a lot about Trevor last night, and he just seems like a normal guy. He might look scary at first in his dark clothing and tattoos, but he is a real sweetheart. He reminded me of Drew.

I was having a peaceful dream about Drew. We were sitting in a large grassy field, having a picnic. It was peaceful and so sweet. Drew was feeding me strawberries, but then it got dark. I heard rustling noises coming from behind me and look over and Drew is gone and I'm all alone.

I call out for him, but he doesn't answer. I feel strong hairy arms wrap around my waist and I knew it wasn't Drew. I tried so hard to scream, to get away, but I couldn't. I was stuck and I couldn't move.

Help! I wanted to scream. Somebody please help! But nothing came out.

I could hear a soft calming whisper in my ear, and I feel someone shaking me.

"Wake up, please Parker, wake up" I hear.

"It's okay, shhh, I got you. It's all going to be okay" I remember that voice, but I can't think of who it is.

I slowly open my eyes to see Trevor holding me close in his arms, rocking me back an forth.

"I'm sorry" I whispered. It was all a dream, but being kidnapped wasn't. I'm still trapped here.

"Don't be sorry." He whispered. "It was just a bad dream." He sighed.

"Do I have them every night?" I ask him.

"Yes" he said. "Never as bad as it was tonight. Usually you just roll around in your sleep, and mumble stuff that I can't make out."

"Tonight was so different. I was so scared someone was hurting you." He whispered. "I'm just glad you are okay. You are okay right?" He asked.

"I'm fine" I whispered. "Just a little shaken up"

"That's good" he started to let go, but it felt so good being in his arms. He is so warm and he makes me feel safe.

"Do you want to stay?" I asked him softly, and he froze.

What was I thinking? He doesn't want to stay with me. a minute past and he still hasn't moved or spoken.

"Nevermind" I mumbled. "It was a stupid idea"

"No" he whispered. "I want to stay, only if you want me too" he added.

"Yes." I whispered falling back to sleep.

I snuggled closer to him, not thinking about the what will happen tomorrow.

"Are we friends?" I asked.

"I'd love to be friends with you" I heard him say.

"You are so warm" I mumbled. I heard him laugh before I fell asleep peacefully that night thinking about Drew.
