The next day was a Saturday, which meant that Parker didn't have any classes. Paris took this as an opportunity to spend time with him, take him out to eat, and to also update him with everything that was going on lately. Paris believed that Parker was old enough to know the truth, and there was no point in concealing any secrets to him. It would only cause a turmoil and more misunderstandings, and Paris wanted to prevent that from happening.
Kai tagged along with them and drove them to the restaurant and also payed for their order. Paris didn't want her to do that, but Kai insisted. She was ashamed of her father's wrongdoings, and this was the only thing she could do for both of them at the moment.
Yesterday, Paris found out that she was fooled by Kai's father. He was involved with the death case of her parents, hiding it away from her for so long, and helping her out of pity because of his own mistakes.
All of this enraged Paris a whole lot, to the point that she didn't want to see anyone's face for the entire rest of the day. She locked herself inside the dorm, and didn't go out until this morning that she was finally able to calm down a bit.
When she left the dorm, Kai immediately went to her to talk things through again. Paris assured to her that she wasn't angry anymore, but that she needed some space. Kai understood and suggested her the idea of going out with Parker to free their minds from the troubles going on recently. Paris agreed to it and that's how the three of them ended up in a Japanese restaurant in the afternoon, eating the typical Japanese plates: Sushi, Ramen, and cooked salmon along with a bowl of plain white rice.
Paris took her time to explain everything to Parker as they ate their food calmly. She told him from the beginning to the end, all the things she found out about, leaving him speechless, just like she was yesterday. Yet, his reaction wasn't overly dramatic. He was just shock and didn't know what to say for a while. He needed some time to process everything that he was being told, that's all.
Parker doesn't remember his parents clearly since they passed away when he was four years old. The memories he recalls from them are very indistinct and that's why he doesn't hold much resentment, but it still hurts him to know that they have been fooled all along. He was grateful to Kai though, who was trying her best to compensate them even though she had nothing to do with any of this.
And when Paris mentioned that Kyle was the one who revealed to them the secret, Parker could feel his heart sting, just like if needles were piercing through him. He didn't know what to assume anymore when it came to Kyle.
Kyle left him behind without explaining anything to him. It hurt Parker to the bone. He wanted to know why Kyle would do such a thing.
Why would Kyle leave him bawling on the ground like that? Why would he hide things away from him? And why would he kiss him and spend time with him if he didn't have any feelings for him from the start? Or did he? Was there reason for him to do all of that?
Parker wanted to give Kyle a chance to explain himself, but he never came back to tell him a single thing, neither contact him. Parker was deeply hurt, and all he wanted now was to move on, or else it will affect him even further. He knew that he needed to move on for the best.
"If you don't feel comfortable staying in the mansion anymore after this, then you can just go back to our old house. I would go back with you, but I have a girlfriend now, and I should stay by her side." Paris said to Parker while lightly patting his shoulder.
Parker shook his head and responded with his natural soft-tone of voice, "It's alright. I'm actually fine at the mansion. I just want to be near you. We have been apart for so long and all I need for now is to have you close." He shifted his gaze towards Kai and added, "I also want to see you happy with your girlfriend, at peace, and enjoy our time together, as a family, just like we are doing right now. That's all that matters to me." He gave them a warm smile at the last part.
